Pick 43- Draft 2016

[Brentmeister]

Yeah I found his top 25 very interesting/surprising.

He's always been a bit out there with his picks. He picked some good ones for Hawthorn but also had quite a few busts in the first round.

2 of those 4 players were father-son, arbitrarily taken in the 3rd round, not sure they really should be counted, it's like suggesting pick 75 has value because Walker was taken there...

Bit of a strange cat and some of his comments were off kilter

Suggesting Battle needs to work on his fitness was one ! ( battle is an endurance athlete with v poor agility )

Yes because of the F/S rorting Gaz and Watson were taken there. Let's not get too carried away. This why I have always maintained VFL house would find yet another way to screw us when we finally had F/S picks to come our way. The Academies gave them the perfect excuse to change the rules. The result being, we got screwed over yet again. I think back to Geelong and the boost they received, this system is a total fiasco.

Can't comment, small sample size there to be fair, 1st game at that level, nervous? Hopefully some of the SA guys might have a better idea, I heard a while back there was interest and by the sounds of that article with 12 clubs interviewing him it's genuine interest. No doubt he'd be a purely project player. I did hear he'd kicked quite a few goals in the U18's/Reserves over there??

I think now is the perfect time to be picking up a project player, a key forward especially. We currently have good depth all over the ground so picking up another flanker or mid isn't going to benefit us a lot. Unless they become a genuine star it will mean that they, or another quality player will be playing in the reserves for a couple of years until they are delisted or traded. We might as well have a project key forward spending the next 3 or 4 years in the SANFL who would be ready to step into the best 22 as Jenkins or Walker step out. If it comes off, we get a bargain, if not all that we are losing is a late draft pick and spot on the list that has not a great deal of value to us at the moment compared to if we were a side rebuilding.

 

[Untouchables22]

Looks a classic rookie list type that could really come on sharply

There's your Jenkins replacement... haha Basketball convert, tall, quick...

Interesting that Bucky doesn't list Lipinski in his top 50 and has LeBois so high.

Or the Larke Medalist for 2016 Jack Graham.

 

[Mismatched]

The two I'm keen on with my very limited knowledge with picks 43 and 53 are Begley and Lipinski at this stage, Atley looks alright as well and I like Stengle although would prefer him later.

I reckon we go with a couple of project KPP's with late picks/rookie draft picks.

 

[Squiba]

If Himmelberg is still available at 43 I'd be happy with him as a Key Position player, if not, any of Drew, Sharenberg, Graham, Begley and Lipinski at 43, with either Parfitt at 53 would be great.

If we see alot of potential I Parfitt or Lipinkski, using 43 on either wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I don't know a heap about the lower end of the draft, but from what I've read these guys would be my picks.

 

[Houston]

Begley please. The kid is built like a vending machine and still has loads of room to develop.

Nah. Not quite that big.

I think I am going to assume that 90% of the footage and profiles I have read, and I have read a fair few and watched many videos, that I will still be reaching for the iPad after we pick during the draft going [emoji15][emoji848]

People saying we may bid on Isaac Cummins @ 13.
Thoughts?

 

[hippyhippy]

Very, very likely to happen, in fact I'm betting it does

 

[Glenny83]

KM noted this a couple of weeks back and has us taking him for our 53 pick ( after academy alterations). Would love this to eventuate with Scharenberg netted by the AFC for our 43.

Mate we've [WW,JC,DIT. Myself] known Lipinski was on our radar for 3 months or more, it's no coincidence Haggis has been seen in person at several matches in which he's been involved and personally I sat behind Haggis at the match Lipinski played in here in Ballarat and he certainly had the binocs on him every time he was involved in play and took plenty of notes.. Whether he's still there at 43 will be the question, just can't see him at pick 13.

 

[Squiba]

If both Scharenberg and Lipinski are available at 43, who would the people of BF prefer?

I'd feel torn personally, would be happy with whichever but there is no guarantee we'd get both. Maybe leaning toward Shaz as no go home risk and was potential top 10 last year.

Lipinksi feels very Hugh Greenwood like Imo, in his build and the way he plays.

I'd be happy enough with either but for sure Lipinski has the most upside.

Lipinski for sure - more upside and can take an overhead mark up forward

Probably Lipinski. Much higher upside. Has forward ability, great overhead, clean in traffic and effective in the coalface. Good endurance.

So what's the knock?

So what's the knock?

Raw. Decent kick, but by no means great. Average speed. Could tackle more.
