Preview Magical pick 59 (or thereabouts)

I like the look of Houghton. Would compliment Henderson as a lead up CHF.

I hope Carlton consider drafting Rhett Mason (Peel Thunder). "Clever midfielder who racks up the possessions. Good kicking skills and strong awareness enables him to push forward and kick multiple goals as a midfielder". Best of all he follows Carlton.

Seriously where has Mason been mentioned as possible going at? Will he still possibley be around at this pick? How old is he? How do you know he follows the Blues?
 
There's been little talk of Mason and its my understanding that he wasn't invited to DC or SS?

Mason has had an exceptional year, kicking 29 goals in 17 games including semi, prelim and grand final. Is a good size with skill and more importantly, mongrel. Something we lack. Would make an excellent replacement for Judd when he eventually retires.

The boys in the West rate him but only see him as a rookie. IMO Carlton should take a punt and select him with pick 43.

Page 3 of the attached link has a small write up about Mason and other potential draftees.

Another player who I rate and would consider taking with pick 12 is Brad Sheppard.

Yes, he's not a KPP but our backline could definately use his skill, dash and versitility. His bio makes for interesting reading and Carlton could do with highly skilled players who won't butcher the ball and can hit targets.

Sheppard also follows Carlton. What more could you want? Just my twenty cents worth.
 
one of my queries about Mason would be his leg speed, comparisons to Judd extend to his height and not much else IMO.

I agree with your mates in the West about a rookie pick at best.

Just to clarify, I wasn't implying that Mason is the next Judd, I was simply saying that Mason would replace Judd when he retires in 4 - 5 yrs time.
 
Unbelievable that nobody has mentioned Tom Scully....?!
I thought we had him under Father/son?

Geez.....can't I trust anything I read on this board? :confused::confused:
 
It's starting to look that way, BB. S'pose you heard the Goddard rumours? :cool:
Oh yeah.........but when are these sorts of rumours ever right Thy. ;)

Did you know he used to support us as a kid.

Quietly confident. :thumbsu:

Look I wish we'd taken John Anthony as much as the next person but you're talking absolute cr** if you think Edwards didn't give it his all.

The fact was he just didn't have the talent.
You can think that if it helps you sleep at night and push your anti-Hughes barrow...

We won't use #59 - we'll use 12 & 43, and take Maguire in the PSD. Job done.

I agree, wouldn't the whole reason for delisting someone, which ended up being Cloke, be to open up a spot for Maguire if he proves himself, and if not just get another young kid.

Funnily enough, after watching a few videos of Aaron Black for Peel, I started getting distracted by the dominance and quality of a certain #5. He featured in plenty of Black's highlights, and I was mighty impressed.

Looked it up, and sure enough, Rhett Mason was the #5 for Peel. Obviously I'm sure he has plenty of flaws (which would explain his lack of draft camp invitations), but I really thought he showed a bit.

Rookie list?
 
It will be a joke and a wasted opportunity if we use this list vacancy to draft Maguire. After delisting another slow KPP to create this chance, replacing him with a similar type just doesn't make sense. Pick 59 will come down a couple of picks if clubs are saving a pick for the PSD.

Matt Maguire isn't worth a two year contract if we draft him in the national draft.

Don't do it Blues.
