Merged Draft threads - Part 2

[DaSawx]

Wouldn't mind at all using pick 23 on Suban if he's there, I like drafting kids who look to have good leadership qualities.

 

[lemon chicken]

Just a question on Suban.
Can he be played as a small defender or is he more of a half back/ inside midfielder?

He will be the value pick of the draft. He's in close skills are fantastic, evasive, clean, great kicking action. Worthy of a first round pick IMO.

 

[yaco55]

Schoenmakers can play back.

Hurley has tremendous leadership skills. We also got Myers last year who was touted as one of the better leaders in the draft. Having too many leaders is not a problem though

Not at all.

I think they cope with the transition to AFL a little easier, and if we have Myers, Hurley and possibly Suban growing up together it would be fantastic for the future of the club.

 

[Rack Watts]

Suban reminds me of the former Captain of North Melb, Stevens.

insert bad Wayne Carey pun.

Cant forget Pears

 

[The_Young_Gun]

Tayte Pears has a big year and a half ahead of him...

Knighta's gonna give him all the game time he wants next year, if he's gonna be our future FB (HB?).

It can't hurt starting the young bloke on a key forward. If he seems to be doing fine and containing the opposition, then everyone get on your bandwagons, but if the game gets too out of control for the kid then Fletch is always there as a default backman.

I'm not determining this on the upcoming draft, as the only case of the following happening is if we didn't draft Hurley.

This kid is going places, get on the bandwagon now and help get the wheels in motion.

[Rack Watts]

Pears was dying to play on Buddy Franklin this year.
big respect

I'm riding up front with you pack

 

[Burzum]

Hurley.

Now.

 

[loopy_cam]

Hurley.

Now.

Agree.

 

[Barts]

Hurley.

Now.

Watch him today RIG?

My only concern is his pace. We want him to be a 10 to 15 year player at the club and if he slows down by 26 or 27 it could be an issue. Its great he can play on the gorillas but in 5 years my tip is there wont be any of them left and your full forwards will be the Riewoldt/Franklin/Gumby types who are all tall and have great endurance.

Thats my reasoning behind wanting Trengove ahead of Hurley due to his sheer athleticism and competitive nature. Otherwise, I like HFF's round by round options. Wouldn't mind Will Young later on either.

 

[Charliebrow16]

I think we need an inside midfielder who wins his own ball, a midfielder with genuine football skills.

 

[Yoda_]

People need to remember that we may not get Hurley, and if we dont then we need to look at the other tall defenders in the draft, as, IMO, we all tend to agree that we need another tall backmen, what happens if we dont get Hurley? who else is their? any one else thought of these questions? for mine, their are two players that look ok, Riley Milne a 196cm FB, is good on the lead, but isnt so strong in one on ones, and what about Brodie A'Vard from Murray (I think) a 196cm FB also, people, we cannot, as the old saying goes, put all our eggs in one basket, agreed?

 

[hird+lloyd=legends]

i reckon we should take Jack Ziebell.
is luke stanton related in anyway to brent?

 

[loopy_cam]

Luke Stanton is not related to Brent. He is Dal Santo's cousin though.

 

[Midnight Vultures]

What about Neville Jetta? I know he's from WA, is he Leroy's brother?

 

[loopy_cam]

I believe so. Could be a cousin though. I'm not sure on that one.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

As the season is now completed, over the next week or so I will compress a 1st edition phantom draft done by myself, then after the draft camp is completed I might do some minor changes for my 2nd edition. Might be a few bolters in there, so should create a bit of interest.

Will Lisle be available with our second pick? If not, maybe we should package Lovett + 2nd round for a high second round/low first round pick. Correct me if I'm wrong but i've read he is a decent prospect as a KP back.

 

[Sigmund]

Interesting to see some of the opinions on the Ziebel thread on the main draft and trades board

 

[Rack Watts]

What about Neville Jetta? I know he's from WA, is he Leroy's brother?

He has to be related, has the same posture when running
