Draft

[morto]

Lets not go to the brothers list at the Bulldogs...

if you are talking about Riewoldt, he is Nicks cousin not brother. I think youre right that Collingwood may go witha a tall since they have lost Taz.

 

[kookadog]

I'm happy to let the best in the biz pick for us, he's got a great eye for talent he seems to go beyond what other recruiters do in the search for talent. He'll find us a few top players, 5 picks suggests he's got quite a few guys in mind.

 

[stmookeyj]

I'm sure it will be best available for us, which may or may not be a tall. If it isn't, then our 3rd rounder that we got in the McDougall deal will be used on a tall, and then it's speculate from there.

 

[morto]

I'm all for best available in this draft. Not a draft to take risks in. There is some huge quality that will fall through to us.

If Proud is available and Thorp and other top quality players are are not, id take Proud before Mckenzie or some otehr KPP.

Although i do believe that we have to try find a defender some time.. Drafting fwds isnt going to keep working. We currently have 6 young talls sitting on our list. Hoping that 1 or 2 atually work out.

Well then the only way to get the tall players required would be to trade quality midfielders which I don't think Rocket will do, so therefore the best bet is to use the draft. I'm just saying we should target kpp, if at pick 11 the best player is clearly a midfielder then take him, but I still think we need to pursue talls.

 

[stefoid]

they are saying that after the first 5 you could throw a blanket over the next 20 or so, and they are also saying this is a tall draft. neither opportunity comes along very frequently, so why wouldnt you draft a tall?

chance of us getting sellar are next to nix, going on the comments of coaches such as alastair clarkson who are hoping he drops as far as 6 so they can pick him up.

 

[SCRAY72]

We could end up with another Nathan Brown. 194cm,90kg from North Ballarat.
He is tipped to go somewhere between 7 and 15.

 

[bulldogtragic]

Couldn't breing myself to it. I'd be stoked with McKenzie or Collard from what i'm reading on here (90% tripe of course)

 

[morto]

Yeah I agree if ever a tall should be picked up it should be now.

 

[macca69]

The Bulldogs hierarchy spent a lot of time with Sellar (195cm, 90+kg) from Glenelg during Draft Week.

If he falls through to 11, he may well be it.

Sellar is no chance of lasting to 11.

clayton collard is a gun he will be a very very good player was seen by south fremantle as being better than jetta and got promoted to the reserves and seniors before leroy, leroy gets noticed more cause of the flashy stuff he does in one game when i played against south freo he took a mark about thirty out in defensive 50 and ran the whole field dodging everyone and banged a goal from 50 it was amazing, havnt seen much of riewoldt but the choice should be between collard and riewoldt IMO and then take gary moss with our 3rd round pick

What is the deal with Moss? He played a pretty decent U18's series, was named best player in one of the games ahead of Jetta and a few others. Anyone offer any more info on him?

 

[desipura]

Is anyone else terrified by the prospect of another tall Tasmanian on our list?


Our strike rate isnt real flash.

After viewing a few of the u18s games, one player who I believe Eade and Clayton would be looking seriously at as Tim Collier from Tassie. Tim's a tall quick versatile chb who has played fwd as well. He has a huge kick and is not afraid to take them on. Reminds me of a taller version of Shane Parker at Freo.
Has anyone seen him play and what do you think?

 

[matty n]

shane parker is disgusting he is the worst player comparing a player to him is an insult

what about clinton benjiman last year over here in wa we all thought he was gonna go top 5

Reminds me of Parker more physically and running style then ability. I think you are a bit harsh on Parker.

 

[John Gent]

Sellar is no chance of lasting to 11.

You're probably right but he lost a few admirers after his U18 Championship performances

 

[murphy's twin]

i would love it if we got Seller. dont be too suprised if he does drop down to us, cause i got a feeling collingwood and st kilda will both go for just mid fielders (which they should do, cause they need it). We would be set up really well for the future if it did turn out that way.

cant wait to see what happens.

 

[murphy's twin]

in 4 years time are list would look something like this (hopefully):

B:Morris.....Harris......Mcmahon
HB:Hargrave....Williams....Gilbee
M:Ray.....Higgens.....Griffen
HF:Murphy... McDougall....Hahn
F:Gia.....Sellar.....Baird
R:Minson...Cooney...Cross
INt:Boyd, McCormack, Power, Faulkner

thats one promising list for the future!!!!!!

 

[Captain Sensible]

Parker would walk into our back half.

Help!!

I am pleading ignorance with the number of main draft picks we have and list number rules.

Simple yes / no and number answers will suffice to my questions below:

Do we currently have pick 11 in rd 1, one pick in rd 3, two picks in rd 4 and one in rd 5? That is 5 picks in total?

Assuming you have no veteran players, how many players are you allowed on the main list?

We currently have 37 on our main list including four veterans. Are we allowed to discount any of the veterans from our main list numbers? If so, how many?

Much appreciated!!

We currently have 3 picks at 11, 45 and 61. We got pick 66 via a trade, that means we have to use it (unless rule has changed), so we have to de-list at least one more player.

List wise-

-There's main list of 38
- 6 additional players, consisting of rookies and veterans. Only 2 veterans are allowed as part of this. 2 veterans means you can have a maximum of 4 rookies, 1 veteran means you have 5 rookies, 0 veterans means you can have 6 rookies
- Allowed 3rd and 4th veteran but they must count as part of the 38.
- Allowed 44 all up (Swans and Lions are allowed more rookies).

We currently have:
- List of 35 (including 2 veterans).
- 3rd and 4th veteran.

We have room for 3 more players on main list and 4 rookies ATM.

 

[robbo3005]

Thankyou Rocco.

Two clarification questions:

Can we not pass on pick 61 and then use pick 66?

If Clayton wants 5 picks do we have to delist a further two players?

Cheers

Yes.

Unlikely, though, that we'll do that. IMO another player will be delisted (Morgan or Walsh) which will allow us 4 picks in the Draft.

quote from drafts board:

"lachlan button...has just reached the 200cm mark weighs in around 98kg. great tap ruckman, also with superb hands from glenelg, with reserves experience. good defence mind always running back to help out defence and is a more than handy target up forward and good on the lead. played u18's and did the state screening in SA. is definitely worth a look after dominating school footy at Sacred Heart for the past two yrs wer he was seriouslt not ever beaten."

sounds like a clayton late pick if I ever heard one.

sounds good! what pick would we take him on?

 

[mjp]

...after dominating school footy at Sacred Heart for the past two yrs wer he was seriouslt not ever beaten."

I know (well, I guess) it isn't your quote Stefoid, but 'dominating school footy'? In Adelaide I am assuming? Give me a break. School footy in Victoria is way below TAC level - where do you think school footy in Adelaide would rank? And when you consider that the quote seems to have been typed by one of the guys school mates...

Has anyone seen this kid play by any chance?? I know we have a few South Australian posters - surely one of them follows Glenelg! For a 200cm ruckman who is also a quality key back and a leading forward I have not seen or heard much of him...
