List Mgmt. Draft Watch 2015

[Danger Zone]

I think Melbourne are taking Oliver or Weideman at 3. Parish very little chance according to most journos now.

Surely there is little chance of him bolting that far, I would have thought that 5 was the earliest he would go.

 

[SES SA]

I think he's totally stuffed our chances of getting Francis or Milera.

Don't say it, don't even think it. Carlton have to swoop on him at 8. They have to.

 

[lunacy]

Works well for us then. It'll be interesting to see the response of some of neither pick is a local lad.

I don't think it does. If Curnow slides down, someone must slide up (probably Francis or Milera ).

Bloody Curnow could have stuffed our chances of getting Francis or Milera.

Emma Quayle, Brett Anderson and Cal Twomey all talking about Oliver at 3 now.

Apparently Essendon and Melbourne both want him bad.

Or maybe someone grabs burton early now same type of player as curnow

Certainly don't rate him that highly myself but all the better for the Crows, don't believe we were that interested. Will be interesting as that pushes back guys like Parish and Weideman if it happens.

Parish could be a chance but H McKay now the fav for pick 9

A list of the Morrish Medal winners since it's inception in 1992 shows more fail to have decent AFL careers than those that do, more notable exceptions are probably Dyson Heppel, Matthew Kreuzer, Lenny Hayes and Nathan Brown, surprisingly few were 1st round picks....another interesting fact is how few Geelong Falcons have won it when it's widely considered the "breeding" ground of future AFL stars. Interesting too that Oliver winning it with 15 votes is the lowest vote ever to win it. Not that I'd be unhappy about drafting him that's for sure.

Well that's no better as I'd rather Burton.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Depending on who is there, but I would take him. Seriously talented kid and sometimes, they mature after a kick in the guts like this.

I'm not as bullish on him and prefer H McKay ( presuming Milera and Francis gone which if not will make it interesting )

Those 3 are always on the money, good luck to him seems very talented.

 

[Stiffy_18]

I'd have to question his I.Q....Why on earth would anyone refuse to blow in the bag or lick the stick when you are treated as guilty if you don't, sounds like there might be a bit more to it?
Wouldn't you think his 1st phone call would be to his manager Connors for advice?
Poorly advised?

I agree to a degree but clubs are prepared to overlook a lot of things to have and keep a star player. The kid is an obvious talent that could end up being the best player from this draft. Is he a tool? Maybe! But is it enough to overlook him? Don't know.

As for Connors, he will always look after his players and rightly so. I very much doubt he would have rang him while he is getting pulled over by the cops. If he did call him, it would have been once he was locked up, at which point, the damage would have been done already.

Wait, Parish could be a chance for us?

Unlikely methinks, but if he's there, he'd be a bloody magnificent get.

 

[Bicks]

Josh Dunkley has nominated Sydney under the father/son rule, strange move considering Sydney are chocka block with quality mids already and will take another gun mid Callum Mills through their Academy this draft.

This is a bit of a surprise, was suggested he wanted to stay in melbourne.

Mate if in some very unlikely event Parish slides to our pick, we are selecting him before we could blink. Remember we were rumoured to be discussing a trade with St. Kilda for pick 5 specifically targeting Parish. We didn't want to give up both of our picks for pick 5 but I have no doubt if Parish is there at our first pick, it will be pants down, lap around the table time in our draft room.

Aren't they also likely to go into a points deficit between him and Mills, assuming they both attract good bids?

Absolutely true. Unfortunately, there is no way I can see Parish sliding to our pick. I've tried to work it out, but it's impossible.

Hey guys - we got poll POLL - AFC 2015 Draft Pick 9 & 13

More likely scenario George Hewett to our 2016 rookie roster...

 

[Bacon8]

Still could stay. If the 20% discount isn't enough of Sydney to find him worthwhile, he'll go where he's bid.

Would suit and yep; would grab him

but only have him just in front of Milera

Then if we go parish and matheson we keep the best mates together and they both shouldn't want to go home
