Saw it on tv live at the time. That may have swayed me.

saw what live ? Must have missed a post?

Id have Kemp before Sharp..but it depnds what you want ...Sharpe is going down the Clark path again.. outside run and footskills..

We've gotta get into that top 10.

 

[Turbocat]

His touches are excellent. Classy. But too often in the Champs he faded a bit in and out and lacked a bit of intensity I thought. Was pretty lucky to be named AA this year I thought.

Id rather Taylor ...Shapre looks good in field but was ordinary shot at goal.. which is non senseical...

 

[Turbocat]

You reckon Young for them? To replace Shaw?

and VicC

imo..no we dont.. we make the most out what we have ..but we will see what sw does.

Sharp playing for WA v SA

 

[Turbocat]

Yep being pricks cost them and the saints did the right thing in my opinion trading for those 2 picks, smart move. Too many puffed out chests and silly numbers thrown around in this trade period already. Steven is not worth anymore than 37, Saints dont like it they can keep him and pay his 800k why he sulks in the corner.

I think you proposed us doing something similar ... gutsy move from saints in a way.. I think it gives them an out if Hill eal falls over now ...the blame will be on Freo .. They had to split the picks. how else do they get their deals done... But are Stk really going to trade their 2020R1... I hope they do...

I'd be looking at Sharp to play on the wing - outside speed, great kicking skills. Compliments two bulls in Flanders and C.Stephens

Sharp playing for WA v SA

I saw all those games ... I used to really like players like him..but not as much anymore... I question their ability in the tighter confines of AFL.. we can sit back and watch ..I suspect Gould will have a better career.

and VicC

The do like the VcC players.

Can see that ... its about the only role for him .. Taylor could do that but he also has forward smarts.. My bet is we like Bergman and Philp .. if we still have a pick in the 30's

 

[Turbocat]

Its the logic of Vic players know they will have to move ..so less go home factor. VicMetros (like the Kings think about staying home and playing for club X)

Reckon he could play at half back and would be capable of running through the middle of the ground too.

Just to add... I was thinking the same last year with Clark ..and he has been a good pick .. so you may be right.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Any sound reports about what we will do with our picks?? Any strong rumours about us moving up to get pick 4/5 with our first two??

I think we need both outside and inside types. I have doubts over Parfitt. Think Constable will make it but need more. Narkle will be good too. Cockatoo?

I really liked Clark and was hoping he'd slip to us. Really like guys that can take a contested mark with great kicking skills. Btw, Clark is mates with Sharp so you never know...!!

 

[CatRiot]

I think in a way Gould reminds me of Ling... I think he can play elsewhere ...

Reminds me more of a Hurn, or a Goddard type (at best).

Kemp?

They reckon he's got explosive pace below 3secs for 20m... Could he be the big sleeper in the draft? Or the next Jansen.

Rantalll woudl appeal on hs testing ..but he is another like Petrochelli... from a basketball background.. athletically he stands out.. can he bring the other side of it up to speed. Has Blitz?

Rantall gets plenty of the ball, averaging 25 touches a game... Petrucelle was always a 10-15 possessions per game player in U18s. Different altogether.
I think Rantall has the big upside as a midfielder in this draft class, could be a sneaky pick in the 30s.

Been saying it for a while. I think Sharp and Clark would make a terrific outside pair. I thought Sharp and Clark at the Champs last year looked red hot.
Makes me wonder then if Kennerly and Brownless become depth players on the outside, have to wait and see.

All predicted to be gone by pick 10 though yeah?

Rantall's kicking needs work. Athletically gifted but can he hurt at AFL level?

 

[Cronin]

imo..no we dont.. we make the most out what we have ..but we will see what sw does.

I think with the picks that we now have, as well as the talent near the top and our current list, we NEED to get into the top 10.... but that's just my opinion.

Clark can play half back. Sharp and Kennerly on the wings. I like Kennerly - he’ll just take a bit of time. A big pre season for him. Brownless won’t die wondering but long way to go.

How does this goal-kicker go?

[Pure_Ownage]

Yeah ..I can remember at the time they were trying to turn it round.. it seemed a good deal..but Tyson really is one of the worst #2 for a while... Salem has been good... but the could have had kelly... add they could have had ben King last year... IF we did something like that our board would melt..

I cant see how we get 4 or 5 ..

2 out of 14 17 and an FR1 should get you 3/4/5, swap 24 for a later 2nd or a future 2nd if needed to get it over the line. Its only if the holders of 3/4/5 want players over picks that we will struggle to upgrade.

 

[CatRiot]

Yeah, I dunno about that. I was just reading up on him, and sounded like there was a lot of upside in him as a general midfielder.
I think he would be good pick outside Top 30.
