List Mgmt. Draft Discussion 2016

Florent has been heavily linked to North in a number of phantom drafts for a while now. Reckon they are realistically the club most likely to pick him before us. Sydney are also said to be keen, but the circumstances with his family may make him being drafted there less likely.

Hey Barrels - Atley v Drew at 36

Who do you take?

Also any chance Atley lasts to 60?

and here we go, another bolter:

 

[Punter!]

Someone on the D&T board said Florent has been invited to the draft, which suggests he might be going to go well before our pick, if true.

Hugh Goddard was at the draft. He went at 21.

FMD if we somehow get Florent at 23 I will go *******. Kid is a top 15 talent easily. Smashed the last few games this year but everyone had Taranto Fever so he didn't get as much praise, if we still had pick 10 I would seriously consider him around there.

I think most of us were starting to really warm to the idea of Florent at 10 once he started to really kick ass late in the season, so yeah, if we happen to get him at 23 I think we'll be popping the corks on here in a big way!

Has this revised top 30 by Cal Twomey been posted on here? Looks like it was put on yesterday, but this is the first I've seen of it.

The only one who he said has actually been linked to us is.... Sam Powell-Pepper!... and of the clubs that he said have been linked to him, we have the earliest pick in that range.

Was in contention for pick 6 though. Giants wanted key back went marchbank

Presumably North Melbourne will be the one to pull the trigger.

A few recent Phantoms have him going to North.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

When we have pick 23 I don't think we can be "linked" to a certain player, unless its someone tipped to otherwise go a bit later in the draft.
Other clubs will pick them if they rate them, linked to the Saints or not.

Not if Brodie makes it to 11

Drew pretty easily for me, but Atley has his fans.

He's a lot quicker than I expected.

Cheers for the reply mate

Let's hope we get our Gresh/Coughlan picks again

 

[Fyfe2Shenton]

Knightmare just said that we are rumoured to have strong interest in SPP. Makes sense as we shared an article about him on Twitter.

Wouldn't read anything into that.
Not that the media guys have any intel but we shared one on Marshall and Battle aswell

"Linked" means that there is mail that you're genuinely looking like being into someone (ie, you've interviewed them a heap, or very recently, or whatever). We were mentioned by Cal in a few of the others' write-up's, but they seemed more like speculation on his behalf, rather than him having mail that we're actually interested in them.

If his mail is on the money and we're the highest pick of those who are known to be into him, it may mean that clubs generally rate him around that area and as such, maybe we're really only likely to get him if there isn't a genuine "slider" or two still available at our pick. He may be first cab off the rank if the likes of Florent and Marshall are all gone.

If he's our worst case scenario, I like it!

 

[bird_man]

Florent isn't going to make it to our pick, let's not get our hopes up.

 

[borderbarry]

If we get a slider, maybe Jy Simpkin might be the one. He missed most of the season with a broken leg, and the Draft Camp, so he may not be at the top in the recruiters minds. If we picked him up it would give us the best Indigenous Victorian player for the second year in a row.

Aswell as galluci on our saints app today

Nah no chance mate.. I wish but no chance

No chance IMO

Sydney at 9, I keep seeing

i think you might be right. reports are conflicting though :-(
