Favourite Draft Prospect

[Igloo]

Jake Stringer

 

[Rack Watts]

Grundy, Stringer, Membrey (lol dat tattoo), Lonergan and Daniher.

 

[Souup]

Surprised at the lack of love for Vlaustin. All the things i've read/heard and seen of him, i think he'll be fantastic.

 

[Bert Man]

Ben Kennedy

 

[The Finger]

Tom Lee was.

 

[Brendan Bee]

A biased opinion here but simply because I have watched his play a lot, big joe daniher!

 

[adam10]

Jake Stringer and Lachlan Plowman have me quite intrigued.

 

[TerryWallet]

From a Carlton POV i'm liking:

Pick 11: Jaksch, Vlastuin or Macrae

Pick 36 or hopefully 56: I would like to see McDonough given a burl.

 

[getgaff]

Jaeger O'Meara would be my favourite closely followed by Brad Crouch

Nick Rodda. Hopefully he'll be an Eagle with our first selection

Of the higher draft selestions the ones that interest me are Daniher, Wines and Grundy

For a feel good story, and because he can make the grade as well i hope Shane Nelson gets drafted this year

 

[Hawthorn231533]

Good to see so many posts.

 

[Black Dynamite]

Stringer is really an interesting one, and Viney.

Troy Menzel. Can bust a game apart in minutes.

Plus, the Menzel boys really deserve a break. I hope we get to see the best of both brothers, because I think their ceiling is extremely high.

Maybe not the best choice of words I am with you, would love to see them do well.

Like adam10 mentioned before, Lachie Plowman and Jake Stringer interest me very much.

 

[Pavdawn]

Dean Kent - He's going to be a jet with a refined training schedule and a few pre seasons under his belt.

 

[Super Hans]

Stringer, O'Rourke and Josh Simpson.

It's so hard to tell. Based on history, at least five of the guys who go top 20 this year will not have good AFL careers. So many players who look the goods as juniors go on to flop at the next level.

Look at the 2009 draft, top 10:

Priority 1 Matthew Kreuzer
1 2 Trent Cotchin
1 3 Chris Masten
1 4 Cale Morton
1 5 Jarrad Grant
1 6 David Myers
1 7 Rhys Palmer
1 8 Lachlan Henderson
1 9 Ben McEvoy
1 10 Patrick Dangerfield

That's the 2007 draft.

 

[Zach Package]

Whoever we pick at 35 I'm taking under my wing.
I have a lot of spare man love now that froffies mcveigh has retired

 

[Tazwegian]

That's the 2007 draft.

Thanks, we've been over that for the last two pages

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Only really seen the SA lads but love Menzel and Kennedy. Toumpas will be a star.

 

[Amon Fenorty]

Vlastuin for sure. Will be a very solid campaigner for whoever picks him up.

Viney obviously cause I'm a Dees fan, but because of the following in particular:

Nearly every comment or review I've read about him says he's one of, if not the, toughest blokes to ever come through the draft. His attack on the ball is meant to be incredible. Even as an underage player he just flat out bullied the other opposition around the stoppages and hits the man as hard as he hits the ball. Having seen him in the VFL a couple of times I am genuinely excited about having him in the team. He racks up the pill, is deceptively quick in close, and doesn’t take a backwards step from anyone. Could be an absolute monster inside mid (in spite of his lack of height) much like his old man. Over time I think he’ll become one of (if not the) premier inside midfielders in the comp.

What I’m wondering though, is how is he going to go against guys like Sewell, Kerr, Kennedy, Judd etc in his first year. I think you can generally tell a lot about youngsters in their first season based on their attitude towards the game and the opposition. The truly great players pretty much never look intimidated in their first season. If Viney is going to be the messiah the Demons fans hope he is, then we will know pretty early on if his mental attitude and attack on the footy is just for show or if he’s legitimately the hard man he’s made out to be.

I really want to have a look at Tim O'Brien...something about this kid

 

[Cat Addict]

Jake Stringer (could be the best player to come out of this draft)
