Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Why exactly would we be less likely to pick up Cripps if we took Gaff? Incidentally, I'd see that as one of the downsides rather than an advantage.

Hoping for:

4 - Gaff (not so much hope, but we're going to get him).
26 - Cripps
29 - Chalwell

A small midfielder and a small defender/ midfielder in the same draft? Yeah sure.

Could draft a real forward and a tall in the second round. I wan't Newton unless someone like Prestia slides, if not then ill have Newton at 26/29.

I don't mind Cripps but we have needs.

Gaff, Newton and Challwell would be a great mix. Newtons a genuine forward unlike Cripps, has a lethal left over short to medium range kicks, allot like Gaff and he's someone you want going inside 50. Gets bigger numbers than Cripps, is stronger overhead than Cripps and a better midfielder than Cripps.

Look at his colts numbers.

Hopefully Darling doesn't slip to Fremantle, I doubt he will. I don't know if Ugle is really worth the risk at 26 or 29.

Considering Josh Green will probably be available at 26 i can't see us picking up Ugle. He's a rookie selection.

Not worth the 2nd rounder at all. 7th rounder / rookie perhaps but not in the 20s.

Correct. On a different note he would fit right in to our team with the likes of Chris Masten and Will Schofield.
 
Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Lets just pick the guy with the longest schlong. Makes about as much sense as any incoherent reasons we have drafted players for in the past

I realise Cripps isn't a genuine forward, but he just provides so much dash and skill through the middle, seems exactly what we need. Tbh I'm going on Pav's views more than anything.....:eek:

Happy to be proven wrong of course should we take Newton.

Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Read Gaff's name out on Thursday and then on Friday ring Jetta's manager and advise him that WC are super interested in having Lewis come back to WA for the 2012 season and that they will do everything possible to make that happen.

Given WC are likely to receive a single digit draft pick again next year I reckon Sydney would be more than interested. A wing to wing line consisting of the pace and kicking skills of Sheppard, Shuey and Jetta would be something to be feared once again.
 
Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Spend more time clubbing and less time punch keys in GD and you get your answer.
Oh, so Schoey acts like a bit a douche when out clubbing..

Stop the ****ing presses and sack him right now, we're never going back up the ladder with w***ers like that on the list:rolleyes:
 
Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Just did my BF Draft comp entry and there are still going to be quite a few good players available at our PP, the most interesting one I have missing is Horlin-Smith, really like the upside of this kid given he hasn't taken footy seriously yet, looks to have champion qualities written all over him, can kick well on both sides and can be played all over the ground.

I see him as a cross between James Hird and Nathan Buckley, which is a pretty big call I know, but would represent a medium risk, high return selection at our PP IMO.

Collingwood are very interested and are hoping he slips to Pick 44. Though I think 26/29 well be on needs basis, small forward, tall forward

Pick 44 was before the cat was out of the bag, I don't have him going in my first round because I just can't place him but I reckon somebody will take the chance on him, perhaps Geelong or Saints.

Unless Harper or Lamb slides I don't see another quality small/medium forward worth picking up, so best available should be the go and best tall forward at 29.
 
Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Watson will be gone - GC or Carlton will take him. Mitchell might be around.
 
Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Qaule says that Lamb, Smith, Darling could all slide to the mid twenties. One good player should slide in this draft :D
 
Re: Draft discussion thread Pt 2 - Three sleeps to go!!

Watson can not slide, he is arguably the best key back in the draft with McCarthy, cannot get past Carlton and Hawthorn.

Some would put both tape above the two of them. Im not saying its likely im saying its what im hoping for.

i just want 2 talls who are preferably key position with our two second round picks. Guys who are a possibility of sliding that far or being available are tape, watson, mccarthy, darling, mitchell, karnezis and chalwell.

Although i prefer heppell i really think we'll take gaff with our first pick and really think we need the key position and tall depth. The great thing about mitchell in particular is he has the height to develop as a part time ruck as well. One last thing if watson was to actually get down to 26 i would like to see him developed as a forward. He's a booming kick, agressive and a really good overhead mark. All things which are highly important for a full forward.
