Preview First Pick Discussion

[Mr Magic]

I would argue our top end talent is our strong point, our weakness is players 15-22. I would be extremely happy if we picked up yet another top 10 200 gamer with little weakness and a role to excel at.

problem is our weakest 15-22 players are starting to not be the mids

 

[Mr Magic]

I'm hoping we don't get salem, he just lacks that something extra

I want one of the taller players, either Acres or Bontempelli appeal to me.
I can see Acres as our own Nat Fyfe and a real weapon in the future

when I read the phantom drafts a lot of the players/first round prospects read not 100%.

A couple I like, but I haven't seen the videos yet, so I no real idea yet and no real reason to dump anyone for sure atm.

Just making a few judgement calls based on interpretations of others that might be BS and other physical stats which at this stage can lead to nowhere fast!!

 

[Dragonss]

If Aish slips and Collingwood nab him a couple picks before us i'll be furious.

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

Just get Dunstan

Ready made body, hard nut, leader, good skills, good tank, tackles, wins own ball, good decision maker

Solid & safe 200 gamer thanks for playing move on to our next pick

Dont mind Dunstan but hes a bit awkward looking with his kicking and hes from wa .

i think we can do better than Dunstan.

Last decade of winners of the Larke Medal, the best player in Division 1 at the Under-18 Champs.

I know it's only one data point, but given the lottery nature of drafting, it hasn't been a bad predictor of AFL capability. Dom Sheed looks like he will be available when FJ has his pick. He's a mid with strengths and specific weaknesses but if we're looking for a 100+ gamer..

2003 Kepler Bradley (WA)
2004 Jesse Smith (Vic Metro)
2005 Marc Murphy (Vic Metro)
2006 Tom Hawkins (Vic Metro)
2007 Cale Morton (WA)
2008 Jack Watts (Vic Metro)
2009 David Swallow (WA)
2010 Harley Bennell (WA)
2011 Stephen Coniglio (WA)
2012 Lachie Whitfield (Vic Country)
2013 Dom Sheed (WA)

Pros and cons for you both on Acres, if you could ? I'm still trying to get my head around the talent pool , cheers Also does he fit our drafting pattern/profile of late ?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I couldn't care less about who we pick so long as we develop them into a good AFL player which we seem to have a knack of now.

 

[rammbo]

i havent seen Acres play but after reading up on him he seems to b a pure outside player with suspect kicking .

Bryce Gibbs comparison put me off too

So a Bryce Gibbs with a weak kick (no thanks)

He's not an outside player at all. He played outside at Champs with a busted shoulder. He is also a good kick.
