List Mgmt. Draft Discussion 2016

[Stewart66]

I'd take him at 23, but that's just me.

Long term he's a powerful mid that spends significant time one-out forward. Think Membrey crossed with Armo.

Lethal

 

[Phoenix_9]

Yep sorry make it 4 to delist!

Haha, you got there eventually!
Yes, Tom Lee is the only one that has a contract.
Templeton, Shenton, Fisher, Murdoch are all gone. Templeton/Fisher could get rookied, but I don't think we need to

 

[gringo2011]

His disposal is elite. Some his kicks i saw at subi were wow

Isn't he the kid who plays seniors but only about 60kgs? I thought he was meant to make Caleb Daniel look big.

 

[gringo2011]

Is Battle someone that may turn into a defender if he's not quite good enough forward? How's his agility, pace and competitiveness?

I don't know he looks like a proper key forward in the Jesse Hogan mould to me. I love the way he plays. He's not so big he's beating up on kids half his size like Boyd, he seems a clever player he reminds me of Mc Cartin, can do more than just set shots. I keep waiting to see why he isn'y higher rated but he just keeps doing what he needs to. Obviously tests badly or something but looks an old school footballer more than a modern athletic type.

 

[Phoenix_9]

Hopefully we'll get 2 players Trout and co rate in the top 15-25 with 23 and 36.

Who's likely to be around in the second round?

What is our priorities?

I'd probably grab a best available mid at 23. And then best available any position at 36. It's not going to be a very exciting draft for us... Oh well, Steele, Brown and Stevens, and the prospect of 2 firsts next year will keep me content.

 

[gringo2011]

For sure but hes not the fyfe type that ive seen people describe him as

i reckon Rhys Mathieson is the perfect comparison, he doesn't kick well, he looks a bit manic when he plays, he's sort of appealingly unappealing or something. He plays a really confident style of footy and is very assertive making shit happen. I actually like Rhys Mathieson by the way it's not a negative -both could turn into excellent players. The assertive thing is a trait usually found in guys like Fyfe, Danger and Selwood etc and is a bit of an intangible. I reckon his ceiling isn't as high as those guns but if we look at guys like Lenny Hayes possibly more in his range of expectation if he gets to his apex.

I just qualify that by saying Powell Pepper. I think I have mixed up posts.

 

[gringo2011]

Its hard to compare him to an existing player but hes more roberton than fyfe. Hes a half back flanker possibly third defencive tall or a winger.

If i had to describe him as a player maybe roberton mixed with port adelaides polec

But he certainly is not in the fyfe mold

He could be a Matthew Scarlett who plays bigger than he looks at best but he's kind of a mix of guys like Brendan Goddard, he's very athletic and seems like a pretty adaptable player.

23: Powell-Pepper
36: Bolton

If this happened I would do cartwheels

I reckon Bolton might go late teen early 20s and probably similar with PP but the evenness means there should be sliders.

 

[crasha301]

I rated SPP at the start of the year when his kicking was pretty awful. It Seems to have gotten better over the year.

Once he goes from kicking the ball 1500 times a week to 7000 times a week it should improve again.

 

[Kilroy]

I don't know he looks like a proper key forward in the Jesse Hogan mould to me. I love the way he plays .... (Battle) obviously tests badly or something but looks an old school footballer more than a modern athletic type.

Equal 10th in the kicking test and probably top 10 in the 3km time trial (but they only listed the top 5).

Dangerous around goals.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I worry about us drafting guys who have kicking that sometimes leads to turnovers. It will ruin big-footy every time they play.

Is Heath Scotland Dan Venables dad?

I like the look of Zac Fisher. Seems to be running on super charged batteries. Desperate, can create separation easy, and has that trait of giving himself space from the congestion before the inside F50 delivery on the twist and turn. Seems to time himself quite nicely to get ahead of the pack further back on the ground, on top of that speed, could really open games up. If he could simmer down a little within that last second before disposing, given the space and time, he could also bring players into a game with ease, and have a game very suited to the AFL.

Could be a Z.Merrett jelly bean style 20s bargain?

Zac and Jade could tie their opponents in knots.

Has anyone claimed him on here?

I'm wanna do a Barrels and live vicariously through a kid.

 

[Barrels]

We need a Dempster replacement.

Could very well be someone we already have...

Nick Coughlan.

I thought Coughlan was more of a KPD.

This is where Trout earns his money. Needs to get these selections spot on if the Hawks trade is a major win. I feel that, for St.Kilda not to push back up the draft order in the trade period, they are probably picking someone up left of field with their pick 36.

I think they probably tried by the sounds.

Agree we already have him.
Quick , kicks the ball well with either foot , just needs weight room.

 

[Melksham2Siposs]

Bit confused with Knightmare's comparison for Powell-Pepper. Crameri?

He looks 15% Dustin Martin / 85% Rhys Shaw.

That 15% though

No diss on Shaw, he turned himself into a more than handy premiership player.

 

[Barrels]

3rd tall ideally.

 

[StCicatriz]

spot on, played some senior games and did alright. which increases his draft value IMO over kids who havent shown they can play senior football:

was also in a pretty poor side. extra points.
