Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Draft Washup edition

[Miguel Sanchez]

Abbott, Darcy Cameron and Newman would be my ideal rookie draft.

Would be very happy with that too.

 

[Suma Magic]

I'd like to pick up Isaiah Miller. Lots of pace and dash, not exactly a need but if Yeo plays midfield there may be a spot on the HBF for a rebounder like Miller in a couple of years.

 

[worsfold]

According to bigfooty rumours we like this fella ?

[Chris_6678]

Should get Newman, 1 small forward ( Charlie Cameron? ) and another mid.

Darcey Cameron looks good but we have Lycett and Sinclair and not sure he would even get a game for years.

 

[swannies]

Don't see us going another ruck, unless they are an outstanding potential.
For me I'd like Tsitas/Battersby, C Cameron, Newman. However, with Newman, Karpany, Hill, LeCras as smallish forwards, I doubt we'd take Charlie.
So let's say Tsitas, Abbott, Newman.
Abbott I know little about but he seems the perfect speculator for a rookie position.

Ahhh forgot about Abbott and think you are right regarding taking another small forward.

 

[dispute]

Any big bodied mids available?

The rumour is that Abbott may fit the bill.

He's listed as a medium defender in this afl.com.au article: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-20/brenden-abbott

More info on Abbott from the AFL website:
Position:
Medium defender
Height: 188cm
Weight: 95kg
Born: 1/1/95
Home club:Claremont

2013 STATS​

CompPK*H*M*G
U18s 1 7.0 7.0 2.0 1
WAFL Colts 7 10.86 5.14 5.14 3

*Average
The inside word
Originally from Albany, WA. Abbott is a powerful, physical half-back flanker with explosive speed, strength and agility. He has a fantastic vertical leap and a hard-nosed approach to winning the contested ball. Abbott played just seven games for Claremont in the WAFL colts competition and one match for the WA U18s before heading home to Albany for personal reasons. Has the ability to play on taller opponents due to his impressive vertical leap. Ran a lightning quick 2.87s in the 20m sprint at the state combine, making him rare in this category.

Sounds pretty good but wonder why he was not picked up in the national draft?

Shares a name with the 'Postcard bandit' could have put a few people off lol. I hope we draft him for the nicknames alone.

Was waiting for someone to pick that up.

Probably dropped because he is every bit an unknown, only playing 8 games in Perth last season Chris_6678.

Looks pretty good. Also a left footer so must be a lock.

 

[sTeeL]

HEs about 5kg over his ideal playing weight is why I would say.

 

[Prem87]

Hopefully we get Abbott - Lot of potential. Damn he's quick for his weight. 2.87s @ 95kgs. Lean him up, build his endurance and we might have a weapon in the backline for the future.

Franetic would also be a great pick up - looks very neat and moves well. Needs to lean up too.

From afl.com.au:

After the Blues landed Cripps with pick 13 in last week's NAB AFL Draft, the club's national recruiting manager Shane Rogers excited Carlton fans by declaring that the South Australian teenager possessed "a Diesel Williams-like brain", in that "he can see things out of the side of his eyes at the tightest angle".

This annoyed me no end

sounds to good to be true. what is missing in this story.

Personal reasons appear to be the only clue -but that could be anything.

 

[QS]

Hopefully we get Abbott

BEAST!

Youre not alone. It annoyed me also... Quality "journalism" from the AFL, as always.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Batterbsy and Templeton both "of interest" to WC according to Twomey in the Rookie Draft live chat on AFL site.

 

[kempy]

BEAST!

Not in a million years. That is a truly awful image ..

 

[matt_bas]

Anyone know what picks we have? I tried to find it but can only find pre season draft picks.

Both very highly regarded going into the draft. I would like templeton then Abbott myself.
