List Mgmt. Draft Watch 2015

[Jeffcrowe]

Walker, Betts and Lynch are all forwards.
Talia, Smith & Laird are all defenders.
Jacobs is a ruckman.

That leaves Sloane as our only A-grade midfielder. I'd include Thompson here as well, making it 2x A-grade mids.

Lever is also a defender, and Crouch appears about as often as Brigadoon.

Two A-grade midfielders is not remotely good enough for a premiership contender. We have enough elite players, but our midfield is woefully under-powered.

But it's not inside mids we need it's hybrids or outsides

 

[Bicks]

Tell me what the difference is to how teams were layed out last year at tables ......all they did is surround them with 3 walls .......joke #amateur

Probably because of the very good chance the AFL's new computerised system for the draft f***s up they will be able to see the blokes in the cubicles waving their hands??

Draft night Vader .....isn't this the time to discuss our future recruits ?

Plenty of time to rear vision existing player performances / potential

 

[Vader]

Realistically, we need all 3. We need class both inside and outside.

Did you watch Draft Day ......now that's a war room !!!!!!

Starts in 75 minutes. Still time for discussing our needs, given that we don't actually have any new players to discuss just yet.

75 minutes .......versus 364 days ????

 

[pjcrows]

Hey.....i've been rused .....i was told a backroom .....i've been lied to, it's a cubicle .....like an exhibition booth

I expected the war room depicted in "Draft Day" Movie ......feel let down

I'm even more let down by the return of the horrendous white polo.

 

[Aaron929]

I agree with the Phantom guide, Think we will end up with Millera and Burton, I'd be happy with that!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Where's White in our uniform!!!!! ........NAVY BLUE TOPS !!!

For those arguing with Vader, it is pointless.

Why? He argues in actuals. There is no opinion in the current statements that "such and such" is not rated enough by the Crows to play more games. It just is. He follows forward projections based on their original draft selection with a curvature along their opportunity (game time) given, and exposed form. This is not really that subjective for debate. There are suppositions contained in this, but ones that are in the state of schrondingers cat.

He has absolute unwavering confidence in this formula, so remains resolute in his opinions, unable to be wavered.

What he doesn't get into is the subjective and emotive views that other posters have on players growing with changes in environment. More opportunity, personal growth/desire/hunger, new coach, new game styles, Parenthood, mentors etc. Things that could trigger rapid development that some players exhibit, beyond their established development curve.

Statistically, he should be right more often than not, which would only reinforce his beliefs.

That pretty close to right Vader?

I think it's more a case of not knowing the difference between opinion and fact. I believe the scientific name for it is 'Comic Book Guy Syndrome'.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Anyone else feel there is a degree of group think associated with Oliver going top 5?

Wouldn't surprise me if he went in the teens.

I really like him, but pick 3 still seems way too high.

 

[MRB37]

Uh-oh, my ugly mug just got interviewed for the Crows website.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Where's White in our uniform!!!!! ........NAVY BLUE TOPS !!!

Surely we don't have to wear clash admin tops, It's our home ground.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

How much Draft Intel does Woosha have about Adelaide?

 

[AndrewJo]

His disposal efficiency is deplorable. Does his handball skills suck?

Your first sentence is just wrong. Your second sentence makes no sense at all. Could you please translate that second sentence into grammatical English?......if you can!

 

[NTRabbit]

People waxing rhapsodic about how many elite midfielders we have must have missed out last game of the year, the one where the Hawthorn midfield so overwhelmingly battered ours that this guy tried to throw a big white towel onto the field at quarter time

We need a key forward to develop, but we don't need one this year more than we need actual elite inside and outside midfield talent, so we can push the shit down and out, rather than up.

 

[Crouch#44]

Wish trades were allowed during the draft period

Makes it more intense

 

[mickfaxis]

Would be awesome to see live trading on Draft night one day. Imagine finding out we traded our 9 and 13 for pick 2 right about now.
Would send us all into a frenzy.

 

[ams4crows]

Maybe brisbane have so many key forwards when we bid on Hipwood they'll just let us have him.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Whats the difference in pay scale Vader between a 1st round draft pick and 2nd/3rd?

Any differential between pay for top 10 v 1st Round?

good question, do academy picks count as well?

 

[Redleg Crow]

Jesus f*ck even on draft day Fox still can't help themselves going on about Dangerfield at Geelong. F*ck, there is no team I would love to see fail more than Geelong.
