List Mgmt. Draft Watch 2015

[Stiffy_18]

Balic is an interesting one if we were to go mid I think Mathieson would be the pick. Purely based on the fact he is a true mid and his supposed aggression.

We do like our mids to be able to play in other areas of the ground (M. Crouch probably the exception) but if you look at Dangerfield, Smith, Sloane, Douglas etc....all these draftees can play in other areas of the ground. This is why I think the likes of Balic would be higher up our rankings. Personally, if we are going down this path, I like Clarke. Knows how to find the footy (and plenty of it), has a strong defensive side to his game and is a goal kicker when he rests forward. He just seems to fit the prototype of the type of player we like to look at.

A true mid and only a mid type like Mathieson (I know he has pushed forward a bit but can he do it at AFL level) is probably what we wouldn't want. There is only so many of those that you can carry in the team. We already have M. Crouch who is penciled in for that role going forward (taking over from Thompson).

Interesting that Curnow was locked up overnight. Might push him down the list.

What an idiot.

TOP draft prospect Charlie Curnow spent the night at a Geelong police station last night after refusing a breath test.

He was released about 6am today.

 

[Draft Bored]

What was he thinking?! 5 days before the draft!!!!!

 

[FAITH]

i remember similar talk about stringer and Selwood, that they may struggle to play for the first few years.

You raise some valid points, Clarke does meet your criteria as does Balic, I really want to take a chance on Burton if he is still there. Could Milera fall that far? This is a very even draft.

Every case of a player having exceeded medical expectations has a Sam Bowie as well.

 

[Draft Bored]

Unfortunately I think that might cost us francis/milera/mckay (whoever was going to be left).

 

[Jack is Back]

Snowballs Chance in Hell
Jacob Weitering - Key Defender, Josh Schache - Key Fortward, Charlie Curnow - Marking forward, big arsed midfielder, Darcy Parish - Outside midfielder.
Almost everyone expects these guys to be gone before our first pick (unless they are picked up doing 150 kph snorting coke prior to the draft).

I refuse to divulge my source .

Is this another Geelong stitch-up?

Why can't they get one of the top three players in the AFL plus Henderson plus Zac Smith plus Selwood plus a top four draft pick?

Are they the new Sydney?

Would we take him if he slipped to pick notreally 9?

Hmmmm not really the type of player we need unless we turned him into a big midfielder.

I would. Best available. He's a kid.

Of course if his interviews indicate more serious issues, then perhaps not.

darling had 'issues' pre draft, people got scared off, WC got a bargain.

Well if Melbourne pick parish at 3, there will always be that lingering question on whether they really were after curnow

Bloody Geelong are trying to pull the same scam I suggested with Francis and Milera!!

Doesn't Curnow realise that Geelong don't have another draft pick until 2023??

 

[FAITH]

Q&A with Callum now

 

[DJ75]

Q&A with Callum now

Anyone able to ask if there has been further news on Burton's injuries and if this is making clubs reconsider?

 

[Elite Crow]

Gees WW knows how to pick some shady characters

 

[Bicks]

Could also be that Buckenara didn't watch much of the second half of the season.

If you read his comments you would see that he has commented on several players late season form so I highly doubt that.

I can just imagine the first question his Manager asked this morning;

"First things first, did you have a Cat in the Car??"
