Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[hey shorty]

Bullshit. Don't be that guy.

He always is.

 

[Crow Envy]

We will keep in his ear and trade for him down the track

What a bullshit comment because we have such a good track record of pulling off such moves

 

[arsene wenger1]

GC getting Hollands is prob the best bet if it wasn't us, see you in 4 yrs

Not even from Adelaide....10 vic teams would be thinking the same

 

[Scorpus]

Pick 8 is Nik Cox

 

[Murray2503]

Damn.

 

[WeedsMullet84]

Once again, you’d have to wonder whether we’ve tried to get that GC pick, but they’ve just no need for extra 2nd round picks because of their extra draft concession next year.

Oh well, that’s going to be a hard team to break into, let’s try and get him in a few years if he shows some promise after recovering from his ACL injury.

Cox, very nice get dons

 

[Redleg Crow]

Cripes Twomey's late mail is totally shit

 

[Deaneus!]

Uh-oh

 

[King Elvis]

So GC, a team loaded with talent, in a great location, that appears to have gotten over their massive problems, is a less attractive proposition than the AFC; wooden spooners with pathetic leadership and management?

I doubt it.

 

[BACCS]

No surprises there with Cox to Essendon

 

[GROTTO]

Going to be an expensive team to keep together. Don’t mind them having one more bloke that might leave them for the crows, rather than only Victoria.

Getting one of these guys is definitely game on. I think we can get Luko personally.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Cox to Essendon

That's an ELITE pick from them

 

[Vader]

The Suns have so many ******* good kids

They had a shitload of good kids in 2010. That worked out well for them...

 

[Mutineer]

Who is Davies?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Damn Gold Coast have a fantastic side

No they have a side full of fantastic potential

Only to sad sack supporters like yourself

Who would you have taken with pick No.1? We ask the recruiters

With Jamarra Ugle-Hagan off the table, Callum Twomey asks a dozen club recruiters who they'd have taken with Adelaide's pick

www.afl.com.au

Club one: "I'd be taking Logan McDonald. His year has been undeniable. I really like Riley as well, and he will be good, but I'm still not sure whether he'll be a key forward or a ruck, whereas I know what Logan is. He had a fantastic season."


Club two: "It would be a toss of the coin for me between Denver Grainger-Barras and Riley Thilthorpe, but I actually think I'd go with Grainger-Barras. I really like what he can do. I wouldn't call it reckless abandon, but he plays with such power and if he can mark it, he'll mark it, and he can really shut down good players. I liked him going back to under-16s level and his projection has continued since then."


Club three: "It's very hard to find players like Riley Thilthorpe. He's big, competitive, athletic and a genuine footballer. He'd be the one for me."

Club four: "I would go with McDonald. His performances at senior level are too hard to ignore. He's athletic and consistent and his character is really strong, as it is for a lot of the boys at the top, but his is really sound. There weren't too many weaknesses with him, but in saying that it is a really difficult call."


Club five: "It's Denver Grainger-Barras for us. Just his power and marking is so rare."


Club six: "Logan McDonald's season at senior level and his work ethic and athletic profile has him ahead. I would have had Elijah Hollands ahead at this time of last year but his knee injury and picking someone off an ACL at No.1 would be a big call."


Club seven: "I'd take McDonald. He's a better player. Aesthetically he doesn't look good as Riley Thilthorpe but he's tough and smart and runs like the wind. I think he's got a real steel to him."


Club eight: "Thilthorpe is it for us. His talent puts him ahead and the way the game is going, with his running ability and dual role he really fits into the way it's played."


Club nine: "Can I have two? I'd have Elijah Hollands or Denver Grainger-Barras just ahead of Logan McDonald. Elijah can really influence games and he's got that something special, so it'd be him."


Club 10: "I'd be inclined to take Denver, I reckon if Elijah didn't do his knee he would be just ahead. I typically lean to the key forwards ahead of the key defenders, as they're harder to find, but Grainger-Barras is very, very good."


Club 11: "Thilthorpe would be ahead for me, bearing in mind his medical was all good. It's so rare to find players who can do what he does."


Club 12: "I probably wouldn't take Logan or Riley, and it would be out of Denver and Elijah. It's so hard to say how it would have gone because they didn't play. Denver is rock-solid and Elijah is a star, but I'd probably end up going with Denver. He's a jet."

Club 11: "Thilthorpe would be ahead for me, bearing in mind his medical was all good. It's so rare to find players who can do what he does."

Good to see...

 

[Redleg Crow]

He always is.

An easy *ignore*

 

[Crows I Am]

We have pick 1 and the worst player til pick 7

Nice Melt

 

[Bearded Clam]

Damn Gold Coast have a fantastic side

Their midfield in 3 or so years from now is gonna be unbelievable..

Will they be able to hold on to all these stars though?.. could end up being GWS 2.0... too many good mids, not enough spots on the ground for them all..

 

[pjcrows]

Come away with Powell and Poulter would be nice.

 

[BACCS]

Would think Perkins goes here

based on this, Philips was a bigger reach than Thilthorpe
