Prediction DRAFT POLL_PICK #5_V2

[1981]

Really we will come out with one of TT, WB or SPS you'd think and they're all different types and we need one of everything so can't be unhappy

I do wonder though we have a great inside Mid in PC and we got the smooth running outside mid in Pickett so maybe we go TT for something different

Or if it all comes down to pure class it will be SPS

 

[viking12]

we bid on setterfield first, if GSW match i would select Taranto. goal kicking mid would be valuable

it all comes down to who is the best player to complement Cripps ?

 

[Blue For Life]

Is there any chance that Fyfe is in our sights at the end of next season and if he is, do you think that he would be interested in playing for the CFC?

 

[1981]

Honestly I don't want NF

Will cost too much

Depends how closely rated they are

You take best player

If they're rated very similar then maybe need and thus how they relate to PC comes into it

Depends also whose still available

Likely to be -

McLuggage
McGrath
Ainsworth
?

Then us

Maybe Setterfield goes early as bid matched

Who do we think will go at 4?

When are the experts Quayle etc going to spill the beans on what they think will be the likely order? They tend to get it pretty much right in the top dozen or so

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Best player in the game and We have more than enough to pay him most upfront and then a lot less later on.

But only as a free agent

 

[Blue For Life]

Apparently he toured our fascilitaties after the season ended and a few others.
Why would he do so and surely under the new regime if we were to go after him it would be without selling the farm?

Yes and yes.

Next off-season will be very interesting. We have a lot of money and at some stage we're going to start to use it.

 

[therubbernub]

Cyril also joined a side as a final piece of their puzzle, not a piece to build around. Do you think that he would have developed in to the same player playing in a side at the start of a rebuild???

I understand what you are saying. I was really referring to the fact that he isnt a high possession winner usually, but when he gets the ball he super creative and that brings other less skillful players into the game eg by disposing it to their advantage thereby giving them extra time that they may require to do their think. I saw a few disposals of sps that reminded me of rioli somewhere

 

[The Grover]

any chance of this

Pick 1 - McGrath
Pick 2 - Ainsworth
Pick 3 - SPS
Pick 4 - Bowes
Pick 5 - McCluggage

Top 2 is massive chance, then depends on Brisbane.

 

[Jimmae]

any chance of this

Pick 1 - McGrath
Pick 2 - Ainsworth
Pick 3 - SPS
Pick 4 - Bowes
Pick 5 - McCluggage

Top 2 is massive chance, then depends on Brisbane.

Why would GC bid on their own academy player?

 

[ferrisb]

I'm guessing Grover is suggesting if Bris bid on Bowes, then it eats up pick 4 for GC...

 

[HBF]

I am the new Earl. And so is my wife.

My name is Earl..

 

[Arr0w]

any chance of this

Pick 1 - McGrath
Pick 2 - Ainsworth
Pick 3 - SPS (Bowes)
Pick 4 - Bowes (SPS)
Pick 5 - McCluggage

Top 2 is massive chance, then depends on Brisbane.

Swap picks 3 and 4, yes possible, but doubt it

 

[ferrisb]

Assuming McLuggage, McGrath and Ainsworth are gone....

First I wanted Brodie as the inside beast, but with pace.
Then when SPS was rumoured, I wanted him as the inside/out guy will elite skills, tackling and the media made him sound like a really good kid.
Now I've moved onto Tim Taranto. Gets a lot of the ball, is good inside, makes good decisions, excellent delivery I50, strong overhead and a fwd threat.

So that's it, Tim Taranto is my pick*




*until I change it again.

I wanted Taranto from the start but have been swayed and accepted other options. Now im back firmly on Taranto and wont change unless there is a chance Setterfield makes it through to us without a matched bid.

Yes I was, might need to be clearer next time.

 

[GoBlues!]

Maybe he took the ghosts of Princes Park tour....I've heard it's pretty good.

I didn't know we had fascilitaties

 

[ferrisb]

Damn auto correcect.

 

[HARKER]

I don't think this is totally unfair, this far out.

Actually, I'm not even sure what the perfect storm would be for us to take someone like Fyfe.
Would next year make for a great fit? I don't think we really know just yet.

..........anyway.......we hung onto pick #5

The more I read and watch, the more sense this makes. Cheers Viking.

It won't make for any sense should GC grab him at #4 though.

 

[Blubagger71]

Agreed. This would be an old Carlton move. Embrace the rebuild.

 

[Blubagger71]

True, just means a different need will be filled. We have a few needs and plenty of options to fill them at 5.
