List Mgmt. Draft Watch 2015

I agree there is something about McKay that tells me hes not going to make the grade. We must get these two picks right.

It may well be a smoke and mirrors tactic by us

SANFL FB page interviewed Milera who reveals we've shown very strong interest in him.

Not surprising, but worth a mention

If he's available at 9 he will be a Crow.

 

[Infra Ted]

Which was the club that took forever to announce their picks last year? Was it Freo?

The crowd should start slow clapping during the wait.

I think it was Richmond.

Which youngster should we ruin........

 

[TheLeftFist8]

I'm desperately hoping that our apparent interest in Mackay is just Nobes and co putting out a smoke screen to try and get Carlton to take him at 8. Apart from not being a need, 200 cm players are just to high a risk of failing to take at a top 10 pick.

I agree with this, and his exposed form isn't enough to go on.

Sure he might have been a number 1 next year if his birthday was a few days later…but he could also be a big flop.

I'd rather target a key forward and spend up on a known commodity when required…obviously the trick is attracting them here. By the same token, we could draft McKay and develop him for 5 years only to see him go back home anyway!

Long story short Milera >>>>> McKay.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

God I hope Milera has put out plenty of 'homesickness' vibes.

 

[Danger Zone]

Had a dream last night that we got Milera and Burton, probably just from reading this rubbish late at night. I had a similar dream that we drafted Crouch and Battersby a couple of years ago though.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I can see Burton going to the Suns

Essendon have been talking up the need to pick players to help them score more and support daniher as well as allow hooker to settle down back again

francis and parish not likely to do that

perhaps burton and weideman or burton and francis/parish

I still think parish is a chance at pick 9 if he gets past 3 , can see melb taking oliver/weideman or oliver/ H McKay or oliver / Collins

latest order of preference for us I have is :-
parish
milera
francis
h mckay
curnow
collins
burton
tucker

 

[cammo6556]

Looks like a lock, doesnt he? If available...

 

[Gets!]

Milera and Bonner my last ditch guess

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Ok I'll have a final crack at the top 12 excluding Academy picks.

1. Weitering (Carl)
2. Schache (Bris)
3. Oliver (Melb)
4. Francis (Ess)
5. Parish (Ess)
6. Ah Chee (GC)
7. Weideman (Melb)
8. Curnow (Carl)
9. Milera (Adel)
10. Burton (Carl)
11. Rioli (Rich)
12. H McKay (Adel)

That top 7 is locked in (Essendon might pick those two the other way around, but that really makes no difference).

8-12 is completely unpredictable, with the most likely of all of those selections being Milera to us at 9, which will likely have the flow-on effect of Richmond taking Rioli.

I really think those other 3 picks are likely to be Curnow, Burton and H McKay (2 to Carlton and one to us), but the order of those is anyone's guess.

You never know though. Maybe a Balic or Tucker gets thrown in there to shake things up. Or maybe Melbourne pass on Weideman. Perhaps Essendon have a last minute change of heart and take someone other than Parish. Maybe Carlton or us take Collins. Who knows really. Enjoy the night everyone.

Essendon might throw this out I think

 

[Jeffcrowe]

comments by nobes makes me feel we arent after him at all

burton or Curnow?

 

[Pugsley]

He's stated that he doesn't want to be drafted by an interstate club

Good. Stay home Charlie.

 

[Pdub]

Had a dream last night that we got Milera and Burton, probably just from reading this rubbish late at night. I had a similar dream that we drafted Crouch and Battersby a couple of years ago though.

We took Battersby in the rookie draft.

 

[FAITH]

Elaborate please?

the crows love and rate Mckay highly , it aint no smokescreen. Our rating of him pre carlton holding pick 8 was obvious

we desperately need a key forward as not many apparent key fwds next year but they are known to appear in their 18th year

h McKay v milera will go down to the wire for us if both available

 

[dogs105]

So, do we boo if Pdub is not called out at 9 then?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I agree there is something about McKay that tells me hes not going to make the grade. We must get these two picks right.

he's too short or too mobile?

 

[Danoz]

burton or Curnow?

Burton.

Head of football David Noble said the Crows have done their homework on Burton and given him the medical all-clear.

This included examining his body and medical records at last month’s AFL draft combine and watching him undertake a special medical test, alongside fellow key forward draft prospect, Victiorian Sam Weideman, in Melbourne last Wednesday.

“We’ve certainly done our homework on all of those (injured) guys,’’ Noble said.

“Ryan, being a local, and having had a bad injury we’ve looked at him very closely and cleared him medically.

“We’ve done our due diligence and he’s on our (prospective draft) list.’’

Why would Nobes be this open about him if we were really into him?

 

[dogs105]

Burton.

Why would Nobes be this open about him if we were really into him?

double bluff

 

[Pugsley]

Burton.

Why would Nobes be this open about him if we were really into him?

Perhaps Fages taught him how to play poker.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Burton.

so much mystery

Walker in all Aussie squad, Lynch most goal assist in comp and Jenkins nearly 50 goals. If that is desperately needing a key forward then god knows what we call our midfield needs.

 

[FAITH]

Burton.

either we dont want him/know he wont be there or we know he is a lock for 13
