Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[NTRabbit]

The Adelaide Puritans strike again

Stengle may as well pack his bags

Stengle hasn't really shown he's a hill worth dying on in all honesty

 

[Crows I Am]

Must have got word that Rowe was going to get picked up by someone else tonight, otherwise you'd think we would have just taken him in the RD

 

[Mutineer]

45 goals 8 in a short season

I hope he makes it but I'm not sure his lack of genuine speed will suit the step up to playing the small forward role at AFL level

 

[TexForPM]

Surely port takes borlase

 

[Vader]

Still space for Newchurch and Borlase as rookies?

Yes, we can sign them as Cat B rookies if nobody selects them in the ND.

We no longer have the ability to match if another club selects them in the ND.

 

[BACCS]

Stupid pick that

How? Massive year in the sanfl for the premiership side, well worth a shot with a last list spot

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Happy with Rowe , Berry the one disappointed in as thought Pedlar enough of that type

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

We've only taken one pure midfielder in this draft. Cook and Pedlar are both mid-forwards with versatility

Pedlar is a pure mid that can push forward

Lol there’s clubs getting NGA players with first rounders.....meanwhile nobody wants our NGA players. Including us

 

[FR0GGY]

How many spots have port got left?

 

[aabp1978]

what is the bet Port bid on Borlase...

 

[arsene wenger1]

Don't get both he and Borlase as rookies now?

I guess so

 

[Mutineer]

That is an absolutely bargain for Carlton, highly skilled and the youngest player in the draft.

 

[Southerntakeover]

We've only taken one pure midfielder in this draft. Cook and Pedlar are both mid-forwards with versatility

You think Pedlar projects as a flanker at AFL level?

And if so, you're cool with that use of resources?

 

[BACCS]

Pretty rare for small forwards to go overly high in the draft, most go as rookies. Newchurch and Rowe, hopefully at least one works out.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Am I wrong to assume that, if a club selects Newchurch/Borlase, we can’t match but we can then select another player with pick 80 for our senior list? I think you’re allowed 36-38 senior players

 

[dplggr47]

Surely port takes borlase

How many picks will they use in ND? They still have Schofield to pick up

 

[Shaz2012]

Surely port takes borlase

 

[morris086]

Phoenix Spicer off to the Roos, would've liked him here.

 

[aabp1978]

Why didnt we select Carroll exactly? Rowe would have been there for the ND instead of Newchurch. That selection is just baffling if you ask me

 

[ABAB]

Do they all accelerate into each other fighting for the same ball?

That's consistently been our flaw- everyone is designed to play the contest, no one spreads.

No, they go inside and they can accelerate into space with or without winning the ball. The problem with our midfield is most them don't have that acceleration ability beside B.Crouch but he doesn't do that much anymore since his soft tissue injuries, Jones who has been very inconsistent and Schoenberg who is developing nicely.

 

[Scorpus]

You think Pedlar projects as a flanker at AFL level?

And if so, you're cool with that use of resources?

Not a flanker, a versatile midfielder that can be rotated through multiple positions.

That's how the game is played these days

 

[dplggr47]

Must have got word that Rowe was going to get picked up by someone else tonight, otherwise you'd think we would have just taken him in the RD

We didn't leave any space in the RD for selections.

 

[Crowked]

what is the bet Port bid on Borlase...

With the special irony of us having traded them into the position to do it.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Carroll goes to the Blues, damn
