Opinion Draft preview (Thread closed, pls move discussion to new draft 'review' thread)

[shizzle]

Does this Change anything?

Dunno, looking at their list they are lacking in many areas, but in terms of key forwards they only have Dawes(role player) and Hogan(yet to play a game). They might have a look at taking Peter Wright with one of their picks.

Does this Change anything?

Potential it changes something if Melbourne don't want to go with 2 midfielders at picks 2 and 3, meaning either Brayshaw or Petracca slide to 4 which means GWS can't take Pickett or laverade from us at 4

1: McCartin

2: Petracca

3: Best tall defender/Forward left (maybe Wright or Lever)

4: Brayshaw

5: Pickett/De Goey / Laverade

Would be dream draft for GWS. They would still be guaranteed one of Pickett or Laverde.

 

[KJpie]

Does this Change anything?

If so absolutely, especially if the Dees want a tall and a mid. Possibly brings one of Wright or Lever into calculations.

Say it is true (and Melbourne decide to go for a tall in Wright or Lever also), do either of Laverde or Pickett have a point of difference over Brayshaw or Petracca that could prompt GWS to pick one of the former? Effectively letting one of the latter slide to us at pick 5?

Wishful thinking I guess seeing as GWS have picks after us also, they know they can pick up Brayshaw/Petracca at 4 and still have a crack at one of Pickett or Laverde at 6. From what I gather Melbourne are super keen on Brayshaw (source is BF though) so a draft like this would be mesmerising:

1. St.Kilda - McCartin
2. Melbourne - Brayshaw
3. Melbourne - Wright/Lever
4. GWS - Pickett/Laverde
5. Collingwood - Petracca

I'll stop giving myself false hope now.

Petracca is too good to get too 5

I think Brayshaw is the one more likely to slide, but will probably stop sliding at pick 4

With Frawley gone they may well consider Lever for the same reasoning shiz.

 

[KJpie]

If so, Brayshaw to 5 thanks!

 

[TradeDraft]

If so, Brayshaw to 5 thanks!

he Then would go to GWS at Pick 4

 

[shizzle]

Good point and they were reported to be interested in him a while back. Geez their list is shite, they need quality fwds, mids, backs, rucks.

They are into Brayshaw in a big way, surely they couldn't pass up Petracca though, imagine if he slipped to pick 5, no I better stop now.

 

[Kappa]

Good point and they were reported to be interested in him a while back. Geez their list is shite, they need quality fwds, mids, backs, rucks.

They've used their last few top 10 picks on midfielders for memory, plus Viney. Highly doubt they'll take another two midfielders with 2/3, I think their midfield is okay relative to other areas

 

[KJpie]

I think Brayshaw is the one more likely to slide, but will probably stop sliding at pick 4

Would be a pretty shitty Claytons slide.

 

[popin]

If you look at the dee's list, Petracca and Lever look good added to it on paper

 

[KJpie]

Allow me to dream TD

Don't get to excited as it could be a w-- d----

Too late, I'm already typing with one hand.
He would be the ideal replacement for Beams.
I would love to see the look on the Brisbane recruiters face if we called his name at 5.

 

[swoop42]

Melbourne will simply take Brayshaw and Petracca if McCartin goes at pick 1 IMHO.

 

[swoop42]

GWS love Petracca.

No way he's getting past them if he somehow gets overlooked by the dees.

P.S-Don't worry though he'll probably be at the pies in 2 years time.

 

[KJpie]

Melbourne will simply take Brayshaw and Petracca if McCartin goes at pick 1 IMHO.

Would be how I see it however it purely depends on their draft strategy.

 

[rustyg70]

Not really, they are in need of a Key Backman since Frawley left.
The have Hogan to come in this year up forward.
Wright could also appeal to them also to sure up their tall forwards for the next 5-10 years.

And GWS are apparent drooling over Pickett.

They did trade in Frost don't forget.

 

[loki04]

It's an odd view to have judging by his highlights at least. Nearly all his marks were taken on the lead from memory in his highlights package. I don't remember him physically monstering many opponents.

Hard to tell these things from YouTube though...

Exactly what I have been saying.

 

[loki04]

Pick 5:
Petracca, McCartin, Brayshaw are LOCKED in the top 3 for mine so won't be on the table. GWS are very hard to read at the moment. I would have thought after losing Jaksch, Boyd and Giles I would have thought that they would be certain to bring in Peter Wright. They have since been linked first to Jayden Laverde and then Jarrod Pickett at Pick 4. I think the best quality around at Pick 5 will be Jayden Laverde or Jarrod Pickett (whichever one the Giants don't pick), Jake Lever, Peter Wright and Kyle Langford. I really rate all 5 of these players very highly. My preference from these prospects in order: 1.Kyle Langford 2.Jayden Laverde 3.Jarrod Pickett 4. Jake Lever 5. Peter Wright. Id be happy with any of these 5 but really want Langford or Laverde.

Pick 9:
Darcy Moore (F/S) Locked In.

Pick 30 & 48:
Who we take at Pick 5 will greatly determine how we draft for the rest of the draft. There are a number of players that I rate around this range. The ones that I would like at Collingwood the most are: Connor Blakely, Damien Cavka, Reece McKenzie and Dillon Viojo-Rainbow. Connor Blakely I believe is one of the most underated players in this draft. He is an excellent inside midfielder and if he can improve his outside game a bit, has A grade midfielder written all over him. Damien Cavka has been strongly compared to Brent Stanton as he has elite endurance and is a goal kicker. Reece McKenzie is an absolute BEAST is your traditional power fwd ala Cloke, Hawkins. Marks it at its highest peak, I see him developing into one of if not the best tall fwd in this draft. Dillon Viojo- Rainbow is a midfielder/defender with elite kicking (we could def use some of that) who I really rate and funnily enough im a friend of a friend of his. I rate these 4 in this order: 1.Connor Blakely 2. Reece McKenzie 3. Dillon Viojo-Rainbow 4. Damien Cavka. There is no chance that Blakely will be available at 48 but a good chance he could be there at 30 and he is my personal preference at this pick. If he isn't available id then look to McKenzie, Viojo-Rainbow or Cavka. I have seen Reece McKenzie, Dillon Viojo-Rainbow and Damien Cavka all projected to potentially last past pick 48 so I am hopeful that one of these 3 will be available at 48. My preferences at this pick would be: 1.Reece McKenzie 2.Dillon Viojo-Rainbow 3. Damien Cavka. if none of these 3 are available id look to midfielders Dean Gore, Peter Bampton, Blaine Boekhorst and small forwards Toby McLean, Ed Langdon and Jack Lonie.

Pick 85:
We will either pass on this pick or if there is someone there we really rate still available then we will use the pick. My gut feeling is that someone Dekka rates will be there at 85 and we WILL use the pick. I think the guys we would be looking at there are: Dean Gore, Peter Bampton, Blaine Boekhorst, Toby McLean, Ed Langdon, Jack Lonie and wouldn't mind Saad at 85 either. My preference here would be Dean Gore followed by Peter Bampton.

So lets just say the draft goes as well as it possibly could then we would end up with:

Pick 5: Kyle Langford
Pick 9: Darcy Moore
Pick 30: Connor Blakely
Pick 48: Reece McKenzie
Pick 85: Dean Gore

Nice post but Langford didn't get invited to the draft which usually means he isn't going top 10.
