List Mgmt. Draft Discussion 2016

[crasha301]

Maaaaaybe. They bring different things to the table.

I hate comparisons with gun AFL players, because it breeds too much expectation and pressure on young kids, but for comparison's sake;

Dan Venables - Dusty Martin
186cm 81kg ---- 187cm 93kg
Probably doesn't have Martin's raw strength and power, but a lot of that's physical maturity. He's a contested monster, but more than able to go forward and genuinely impact the scoreboard, even when injured, and can almost play as a power forward.

Will Brodie - Dyson Heppell
189cm 82kg ---- 189cm 90kg
Not as good by foot as Heppell is, but similarly athletic despite being a contested inside type. Is faster than he looks, and working on the outside overlap part of his game. Just keeps working and working and wins awards because of it. Is a super mark for a 'small' and kicks goals.

Jordan Gallucci - Zach Merrett
183cm 75kg ---- 180cm 80kg
Is blisteringly quick and very very classy by foot. Accelerates away from the contest and delivers beautifully. Starting to pull big numbers and build a more inside game. Great decision maker.

Sound like beauty's. I seen gallucci play on the weekend, didnt realise it was him till the 4th qtr so I didnt keep a close eye on him before that.

It's going to be really interesting if we keep our 1st pick this year.

Gallucci draft range?

 

[Choomah]

i want venables or galluci tbh

 

[borderbarry]

Only player I have seen speed mentioned for is Braden Parfitt. but apparently he is not much of a kick.

 

[Barrels]

Gallucci draft range?

10-25 maybe? Bit early to judge.

 

[Mowman]

Has he posted lately? I've noticed him liking the odd post, but haven't seen any posts by him. It's a real shame as I really enjoyed his posts.

Yes I always enjoyed reading his stuff

I follow you and I'm just as important don't you know!

 

[aussierulesrules]

Wow, so not only did Gallucci have 36 disposals and 3 goals in that game the other day, but also 11 clearances and 12 inside 50's, so that was some sort of game!

 

[crasha301]

This weekend we'll hopefully see the men separate from the boys. Wonder if someone will put their hand up for the #1 pick.

Hopefully Will Brodie slips in other recruiters eyes to be 7th best prospect

Pretty disappointing that Brodie didn't play for Scotch today against Melbourne Grammar.

Whisper was that Vic Country told him not to play, but that's no excuse IMO; Tyrone Hayes (VC), Joel Garner, Jack Maibaum, Dylan Clarke (VM), Charlie Spargo and Ben Long (Allies) were all out there.

Eye on the prize? I can understand that if so.

Joel Garner.... I bet he has the long run up & makes an impact with the new ball. Physically intimidating too

I can understand it, but I certainly don't have to like it. Poor IMO.

184cm skinny midfielder. Soooo not so much.

Pretty sure he wasn't playing against skevs, or at least no one saw him out there

Barrels Rahul thoughts on Jarrod Berry? I would love him if we can't get Brodie

Big, strong, quick, smart and a super intercept mark, but I don't think he'll make the leap to a midfielder and his kicking is still hit and miss.

Not sure what role he'd play with us.

Don't think he could be a Bontempelli lite?

I think that's been the hope, but he's played on half back all year as I understand, and he'll do so at the Champs.

More Birchall than Bontempelli I think.

Any streams of the games today Barrels ?
