Is next season the 1990's?

Haselby makes me larf, he is pining for a Pav replacement like many of us probably. Trouble is there will never be another Pav, just like there will never be another Carey

Pav was an AA in multiple positions but Hase wants us to pick Brander as a replacement. Can you see Brander running through the midfield

Now let me introduce you to Mr Fogarty, Mr Utility, Mr 192cm 92kgs anywhere man.

He is the man Hase desperately wants

Now I know why you are so over sensitive on the draft rumours board about Fogarty not wanting to be drafted by Fremantle. You have a man crush on him so good luck to you in this year's draft

Apparently the new rumour is Brisbane are deciding between LDU and Brayshaw.

No obviously the game has changed but its clearly a good size. the majority of bigger guys get a bit goofy or snap.. there aren't too many buddies out there. i dont want to waste a high pick on a tall spud. Some others around the same height. Would be interested to see the wingspan of these blokes as it seems to be a very overlooked component of size. It can differ drastically from person to person. Basketball uses it a lot to indicate defensive potential which has some carryover into football contested scenarios.
Josh Kennedy 194cm
Nick Riewoldt 193cm

What's wrong with Naughton

He's a key defender and we brought in Logue, Cox and Hamling last year. After recruiting 3 young key backs last year it would be crazy to take another with pick 5 IMO.

I think Josh Kennedy is 2m tall when I've stood in front of him

 

[Lachy96]

If Brisbane pick Brayshaw, it could go like this:

Bris: Brayshaw
Frem: Rayner
Car: Dow
NM: LDU
Frem:

Would we draft Cerra making it two Vic Metro lads?

Forgetting the homesickness issue, it would be a great combo to pick up.

Think I would prefer that combo to LDU/Brayshaw (which could be on the cards if Bris select Rayner).

What if north take stephenson who trained with them and is keen to get there. Means dow or ldu slips to 5.

This is what I am hoping. Rayner and LDU/Dow. Basically 2 that could easily be number 1 picks in their own right.

Josh Kennedy wears heels? That’s a juicy rumour.

Can confirm. A few weeks back a colleague asked him to bring his highlight reels to an event but he mis-heard and wore his twilight heels.

You seriously need to get a life QLD bae. Stalking peppy is just sad.

No need to get jealous and greedy. I'm sure Peppy has enough love for the both of you... if you are willing to share?

Blokes on the North board claim they've heard the club don't rate Stephenson as a top 4 talent. Dow and Cerra are the players they supposedly want. I'd love it if they took Stephenson at #4, but very much doubt it.

Interesting survey on fox of the draftees themselves. Most would take Rayner at pick 1. LDU 2nd most votes

Keeping the faith with Rayner and Fog. Reckon my perfect draft would be Rayner, Fogarty, Dixon, Kreuger, Sambono, Banfield, Jones, Narrier/Farrant. Plus a skilled but undersized mid or two onto the rookie list.

But what if he ends up better than them? And release Logue

 

[theGav56]

I think it is where pick 42 comes into play in a big way. If they are confident of a good mid at 42 they may stick with kpf Fogarty at 5. Pretty sure he was in the initial mix for pick 5.

Fogarty at 5 with an eye on O'Reilly next year. Consider a project player later in the draft, or someone like Miller who can give a contest as second ruck.

I can't see that Brander or Naughton become a better forward than Fogarty.

Release Logue to where exactly? The brutal truth is he hasn't shown a shred of football nous since his goal in the preseason comp. At this stage I am more hoping he's not an outright bust than daydreaming about him running through the guts.

So you think he's a dud pick?

Well if that's so (I don't think he will be) and Jonno retiring soon we'll need a gun kpb. He could hold it down like Rance for Richmond

Trying to weigh up whether to go with your inciteful opinion on a young footballers potential, or the clubs'.....

That is overact , he could become a Crowley type of mid with better height , speed ,agility and left foot .

I've long been an NBA draft follower and have followed DraftXpress for many years (pity Givony moved to ESPN). I've often wondered if they measure physical proportions at the AFL combine. Have also wondered if individual teams do medical and aerobic testing such as VO2max.

Purely just from observation, if I was chasing a midfielder from this draft, I'd be wanting Paddy Dow as the best long term prospect with the highest ceiling.

Not yet. Still has heaps of time to come on but the signs so far have been discouraging to me.
