If Bombers take Weideman maybe Francis is a chance to slide to AFC?

 

[Mckaye17]

Lol, what make you think he's arrogant?

Best mate played at the 16s state carnival with him who gets on with everyone and said he's the cockiest and most arrogant person he's ever come across in footy and not that warranted.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Francis looks a true utility doesn't he? Looks at home in the middle though as a tall midfielder.

Francis is this drafts Brendon Goddard .....no specialist position but looks likely to have a similar traits

Quote: Paige Cardona;

Charlie Curnow
Height: 191cm, Weight: 95kg, DOB: 03/02/1997
Recruited from: Geelong Falcons
Draft Range: 3-20

An athletic tall forward that plays like a midfielder, yet has the physical attributes of a Tex Walker. Is a booming kick for goal, a monster contested grab and is quite pacey given his measurements. Has a massive endurance base since playing most of his footy as a midfielder before his growth spurt. Still raw in facets of his game, but looms as a long-term prospect that could shape a club’s forward line

I can only hope

 

[Crowked]

Just reading the profiles of the top 15 prospects, I can imagine any of them being guns. Can't go wrong, can we?

Particularly like the sound of Burton, but should be optimistic about who ever we get.

 

[rezagun]

Wish we had 3 picks instead of 2.

Skippos can you tell us anything about Burton? Is his leg going to be ok, and would he be there with our pick 13 and worth the punt? This kid must have been seriously good if he's still being talked up as a first round prospect after the horrific injury he had.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

So do we bid on hopper at 9 just to make sure GWS use 10 on him?

 

[DJ75]

So do we bid on hopper at 9 just to make sure GWS use 10 on him?

Yes, yes we absolutely do that! If they don't match, we get a gun player anyway!

Mmm..... i am reading this and thinking Gunston

Quote Paige Cardona:
Adelaide – Ryan Burton
Height: 191cm, Weight: 90kg, DOB: 31/01/1997
Recruited from: North Adelaide
Draft Range: 5-30

Part of a ‘dying breed’ of specialist medium forwards. There’s not a thing this kid can’t do. He plays taller as if he were a key forward in the way that he leads at the ball, takes big grabs and can kick goals from outside 50 – and in saying that, is incredibly measured from all spots inside the ark. Agile enough to play as if he were a small forward with his ground ball work a highlight. Suffered a horrific broken leg that put a line through his 2015 season.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Since when did Francis become a slider??

Geebus, we couldn't be that lucky could we?

Everything is coming up Milhausse lately...

 

[Redleg Crow]

Wish we had 3 picks instead of 2.

I feel like Burton might be a better 3rd pick than a 2nd

 

[azza77]

unfortunately not looking likely Curnow will reach us

I don't think we will go anywhere near Curnow anyway.

 

[headache1]

Mmm..... i am reading this and thinking Gunston

I swear I read somewhere that they had designs for him to move into the midifeld before his injury. But I may be thinking of somebody else.

Now we know why you believe in DMac

 

[GrommoT]

He may not make it to 9? .....if Essendon miss Parish to Melbourne now as expected, Milera maybe Essendons next preference as they need to get some midfield speed and replacements for the aging Watson and Goddard

Won't surprise if Essendon: Francis and Milera

Damn campaigners.

Spoiler: .

[0.9mb]
[1.0mb]
[1.0mb]

 

[kramster]

Knightmare and Skippos.

Knightmare's is probably the gold standard but they all tend to magically match Emma Quayle's by draft day

Thanks, I'll have a read of those to get up to scratch

 

[Flip Side]

Milera is a scrawny kid but under Essendon's tutelage he'll be massive within a year.

I reckon this is one of the biggest issues with speedy players at 17-19. Often they are around or under 75kg, and so when they play in the AFL they need to bulk up. Some of them don't retain all their speed, or endurance as a result. Also everyone tackles harder so they are not as elusive, and the extra weight puts pressue on their knees and hamstrings.

 

[Captain Furious]

So ....same as what i said .....his draft position all based on one game

Not at all, he had a fantastic junior career before he was injured. Every club knew of his talent, that's how he got selected in the All-Star game despite missing almost the whole season.

I think you're seriously misjudging the amount of work and attention to detail that goes into scouting and drafting.

 

[jackster83]

Paige Cardona on Oliver:
23: Carlton – Clayton Oliver
Height: 187cm, Weight: 86kg, DOB: 22/07/1997
Recruited from: Murray Bushrangers
Draft Range: 15-30
A well-rounded midfielder who is deceptively quick on the burst from a stoppage. Won the Morrish Medal as the TAC Cup’s best player, but didn’t get an opportunity for Vic Country during the Championships. Has made serious inroads in the second half of the year to be a top 25 prospect. A contested beast with a thirst to hit the scoreboard, has terrific running power, finds the football with ease and is dangerous at the stoppages.

Sounds a bit like Kerridge.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I swear I read somewhere that they had designs for him to move into the midifeld before his injury. But I may be thinking of somebody else.

No they were talking about Burton potentially .....after a broken leg that would be a long way off

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Now we know why you believe in DMac

Faith terribly dented ....had a horrible year .....but yes i still believe in his talent

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

It's part of our drafting criteria now .....the club bills for sun screen will sky rocket

haha love it... Atleast that'll take us out of our typical choir boy mentality and force people to never like us.. You know, because rangas don't have a soul and all..

 

[Bazil838]

I was annoyed we gave up 28 to Carlton would have gone future 2nd to get this over the line, there are 6 gun crowy's in this draft, think francis go before 9 My order (AA - All Australian U18)
1. Burton (9)
2. Bonner (13) AA
3. Francis AA Country Boy
4. Snelling AA and League Premiership.
5. Partington AA Country Boy
6. Milera Good league SANFL experience.
There is a good chance one of the last three will be available at 28 particularly Snelling, think all 6 are 200+ gamers

If we have to go to a Victorian Oliver is a standout. PS if Schache drifted which wont happen you would take him.
