List Mgmt. Carlton's 2020 Draft Thread

[Ockhams razor]

Will Phillips, if he’s available, gives us all we need.

Strong inside mid, skilful and leadership potential.

 

[Ockhams razor]

What are people's thoughts on Jack Macrae's brother coming through this year?

Seriously good junior.

Finds space, skilful and always seems to have time. Given his brother’s success, he knows what’s required to succeed. Focused and has to be in the mix at our pick.

 

[Jimmae]

Twomey has Holland's at 3... obviously hasn't received jimmaes biomechanical analysis yet

They all have info I don't have. Kid needs to build strength through his lower body and core to fix up that inconsistency, and he's probably been working on it. If it's not a muscular issue, then it's more of a concern.

I just want players that are explosive who can dispose well. He wasn't showing that consistently, and there are better options in the pool.

I’m hoping we take him, ssshhhh don’t tell anyone.

I want an accumulator and good user in the middle = Finley macrae

a line breaking winger = cook

Nice to see you around OR.
Anything from around the club you can share?

 

[LemmingMaster]

I was high on Nathan O, but his early season form was a little down, but the last few weeks he is lifting. Get on board people*.

*may contain wa bias.

Well, we do like drafting kids from WA.

Boost for Vics as AFL reveals every state's Draft Combine list

The AFL has invited 94 prospects to test at NAB AFL Draft Combines around the country

Noticed none of our F/S possibilities got invited to the draft combine, can someone enlighten me if our previous Silvagni's competed in the combine? I think JSOS did.

I think both of them did.

I'm listening...

inside mid

no

 

[Ockhams razor]

I'm listening...


no

“No” as in he’s not an inside mid or “No” we don’t need an inside mid of his class?

 

[RPCB]

Could be the clubs best draftee this year.

 

[Jimmae]

“No” as in he’s not an inside mid or “No” we don’t need an inside mid of his class?

"No" as in "no more inside mids".

Unless we've picked up some serious outside class prior to the draft, or jettisoned all three of Dow, Stocker and Kennedy, that's putting him in a queue that reads like so: Cripps, Ed, Setterfield, Kemp, Dow, Stocker, Kennedy, JSOS, Philp. I can also make a case for using Moore as an inside mid.

We need explosive, outside (or at least extremely balanced) mids who distribute the ball promptly and intelligently by hand and foot. We need mobility out there on the field, because we have so little of it even approaching an elite level compared to most sides in the competition.

Thanks.

That‘s great you’ve got Dow, Kennedy & Stocker as settled best 22, is that why Cripps is currently getting all the support he could ever ask for?

Seen any of Phillips’ highlights or read any reviews? How does his pace, outside game and skill compare to each of these?

Yeap, exactly the type we yearn

[Foucault1989]

Not that I could find.

He's kicked a few big goal tallies, with one of them being 5.5; 4 in the final quarter to win a game. Jayden Stephenson's only game in the champs which suggested his AFL capabilities was his 8 goal performance; outside of that, he was extremely inaccurate, and only good for 1-2 goals a game.

I like that we've gone for MIDFIELDER/forwards, but I also think we should go for midfielder/FORWARDS as well; especially considering our link between forward and midfield is part of our problem.

Great point. A dynamic mid forward would be sick.

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

only 180cm/79kg looks a lot bigger than that
was everyone else in slow motion or is he that quick
likes the handballs, keeps his feet, kicks both feet
like a lot

 

[Foucault1989]

Could be the clubs best draftee this year.

We would be crazy not to get Fev in. A beautiful kick of the footy and a smart footy brain.

 

[Foucault1989]

Yeah love this guy. He will be available around our pick and I'd be stoked to draft him. Followed him closely last year and was impressed with his composure, hands, vision and skill. Would add a lot to our midfield.

His burst from a pack is 1st class as is his vision.

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

You made me watch the footage again
Great assumption
Want us to hold our first this year and pick him
hopefully he is still there at our pick

 

[BigBreakfast]

Jeez, yes please. Second efforts, clean, hard at it. From highlights, can footy. Looks like burst speed, gets low and composed. In a draft with some unknowns, this kid could go anywhere, hopefully Carlton.
Twomey has him available at our pick and he is usually pretty close to the mark.
