Preview First Pick Discussion

I'd say about 20%. Not very high. If we had of finished lower than Collingwood, it would be a fair bit higher, but if he is there, Collingwood WILL take him.

So if we miss out on freeman, what % would you put in for us getting lennon?

Even lower than Freeman. 5-10%. If Lennon slips out of the top 10, I'll be very, VERY surprised.

Salem, continue the trend of safe picks getting consistent and strong bodied 200 game midfielders.

Flies into the tackles, good kick, good ball winner, versatile, good leader.

Can you do a mock of how you think it'll go?

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

I think Sheed will be there and I'd be pretty happy with that. He's just a really good footballer. I don't think he's as one-paced as people say.

Do you know whats the latest on who West Coast wants? Last week Sheed was meant to be their preferred option though things may have changed and obviously will change between now and the day of the draft. Reason I ask is if Sheed doesn't go at 6 I could see him dropping as low as pick 18.

Also where do you rank Sheed, I recall last year you having him in the top three, have things changed this year or do you still rate so highly. I personally rate him highly though worry about how high his ceiling is, which is why im starting to lean towards Salem even though at the champs I would have happily have used pick 1 on him.

I meant Freeman. Lennon will go top 10.

I know what you meant. It's just my favourite face

1: Boyd
2: Aish
3: Kelly
4: Scharenberg
5: Billings
6: Sheed
7: McDonald
8: McCarthy
9: Lennon
10: Freeman
11: Salem
12: Bontempelli
13: Crouch
14: Kolodjashnij
15: Acres
16: Gardiner
17: Dumont

Personal opinion. I think Taylor will most likely slip in there between 13-17 though.

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

I reckon Lennon & McCarthy could leave the Best behind cos their clubs will find a Starr

Hope so!

Hope so!

That's as it is now. Not with Compo picks.

When the compo is announced, and Collingwood do get Pick 11, They'd probably take Crouch/Bontempelli which frees up Salem or Freeman, and we'd whoever was there, I'd assume.

Definite possibility they take both Crouch and Freeman, yet it looks like they will acquire Adams and the inside midfield stocks could be full forcing them to take Bontempelli, hope Bontempelli slips to us.

There's a Clayton McCartney later in the draft.

Just Let it be...

Just a Rondom Thought to put a spanner in the works of a few clubs

Richmond offer #12+ Nahas to Brisbane for
Karnezis+Yeo+Docherty

I dont want to see Carlton get Docherty for#28
" " " " " West Coast get Yeo for #40
" " " " " Collingwood get Karnezis #56

What i did like about all 3 of these players is they are all good sized players that are/were top juniors and play in a variety of roles, Would certainly add a massive amount of Depth to our lineup. Simply replacing White/Tuck/Nahas on the list

 

[Tigers69]

Billy Hartung for me. An unusual surname and if he is related to the Hartung's from Glen Waverley (Tim et al) will be a Tiger supporter to boot.

He's definitely a Tiger fan. Was in an article at some point.

top juniors sometimes dont always perform at afl standards - tambling

 

[Deanos]

What has the Pacific got to do with footy.

You got me there, Fixed now.

 

[THE_GUN]

top juniors sometimes dont always perform at afl standards - tambling

The 3 players in mention have all shown they are good chances to become consistant afl players and the lions are reluctant to let them go but with getting
#28 - Docherty (carlton)
#40 - yeo (west coast)
#58 - Karnezis (collingwood)

#12+Nahas could /would appeal more to the lions , but even if it doesnt we will be forcing the scums to pay more

i dont think yeo wants to go to victoria. i think hes homesick.
and nahas doesnt prove much value to them.

Mitch Clarke didnt want to come to Victoria either - Invite him to punt Rd , Meet with Cotchin,Deledio,Martin,Ellis,Conca,Vlastuin
Im sure he will buy in
