Maybe its an option to trade off our first pick?

[The Clokes]

Collingwood needs a tall quick centreman in this draft (like a Ryan Griffin, who will go before our pick, sorry to say), and guessing how the first 7 picks might go we wont get the player, we are looking for.

This is how i think it will go:

Richmond - Brett Deledio
Hawthorn - Ryan Griffin
Western - Lance Franklin
Richmond - Jarryd Roughead
Hawthorn - Ryan Willits
Western - Richard Tambling

Collingwood (could be):
Ben Eckermann (quick, but too small)
Jordan Lewis (slow)
Angus Monfries (Small, and not quick)
AND WE DONT NEED TALLS!!!!


So the best thing maybe, to do, is trade our (first pick and a Tristan Walker) with another club for a quick young tall centreman.

So what do you think?

Well if we pick up the same kind of duds we have over the past couple of seasons then yeas i love your idea. If we get another useless waste of space like Nixon then we are screwed. the person we should recruit is whoever does the recruiting at brisbane.

Tristan Walker is not an option for trade unless you take notice of ****************s like Jon Anderson.
A possibility with our no 7 draft pick is to add a player to go with it and upgrade our pick by trading with a side with a pp.
Western Bulldog's have said trading their pp is a possibility.

 

[Lockyer24]

I'd only trade Pick 7 if its to trade up and try and grab Pick 3 or 6 off the Bullies

 

[The Clokes]

a trade for Steven Salopek maybe...

Agreed.

You say you dont need talls but you want a tall quick centreman? Make up your mind. What's it gonna be? Nick Stevens would have been a little handy.

Talls and tall quick centremen are different thinks. Adam McPhee is a tall quick centreman but he's no kpp.

I would have thought that it was pretty obvious that he was talking about KPP's as opposed to 186+ Midfielders, but hey, whadduya' know!

BTW, if we don't trade our first pick. Going by a few descriptions, Eckerman sounds like he suits our needs.

Brisbane is the best team in the competition! Who is their Tall, quick centreman? I'm a bit confused about this whole notion of tall and quick centremen. Give us some examples.

Kouta is tall but not quick.
Judd is quick but not tall.
hird is tall but not quick
Simon black is not tall and not quick

 

[andrew_embley]

Judd is quick but not tall.

Judd is listed at 188 or 189 cm. Not bad for a midfielder!
Fevola is listed at 188cm, for comparison.


Dunno, I could be wrong mate!

Lappin would be 188 or there abouts.
Pavlich is 190
Buckley is 187
Hird is 188
Ling is 190
Walker (Carl) is 189

Hadley's 190cm and a great runner. Not sure you'd call him 'blisteringly quick', but there aren't that many midfielders who are genuinely quick. Most side seem to have their quickest blokes at halfback/wing where they can get some pace up - Nathan D Brown, Pickett, Notting, Clarke etc.

Scouts seem to downgrade speed in favour of good hands and a developed body - Adam Cooney, Colin Sylvia, Brock Mclean, etc

Obviously Davey is quick and nobody cared originally.

yeh i see what you mean. These guys are mostly midfielders though. push forward and go back to help out in defence. Maybe we should changed this to tall quick midfielders rather than centremen.

 

[The Clokes]

When i say tall, im looking for a centreman of about 188cm who has good speed and can kick goals. Someone in the Nigel Lappin (from Brisbane) mould.

Matthew Lappin from Brisbane? Huh??

That is Judd.

Although Judd has better than "good" speed!

 

[The Clokes]

i mean Nigel Lappin from brisbane (sorry)

Lockyer is right. Pick 7 + players for pick 3. We should be talking to the Dogs right now. O'Bree is the first name to put on the table. Let’s see if they want Kinnear if we pay his salary to help with their SC and cashflow restrictions. They might take McKee thrown into a deal - he's better value than Street. Swan might be of interest to them. Walker has upside but he is tradable for the right deal. I wouldn't mind if we could get Gillbee or McMahon out of them with the pick as well. Both apparently have been talked of as tradables.

Other than that a deal for Brent Harvey could be good.
