Pick 5

[year of the roo]

ive watched trengove the most out of any junior this year and im gonna go ahead and say theres no way that will happen

honestly he shits on martin and morabito

Yep. If Melbourne are that keen on Morabito, there's a better chance of Scully sliding. Trengove is a lock for top 2.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Its speculation alright and the Trengove slipping to us is certainly speculation.

But I can guarantee you my sauce has seen more juniour footy than anyone on this board and has better contacts in the clubs.

If said dead horse is as right as it has been in the past, then Martin will go to Richmond and the Dees are seriously considering the Scully/Morabito one two.

Thource doesn't say Morabito is a lock for two, just says that Scully/Trengove is nowhere the done deal so many people think it.

Let's be honest here, the received wisdom of BF didn't have Rich slipping so far or us getting Ziebell last year did it?

And the main suprise last yera was FREO taking Hill where they did.

And again, Freo have a decisive pick in my scenario.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

I remember rumours last season that Rich would slip to us, and in the end it was either him or Ziebell that was going to end up at North. A month before the draft, that was a laughable suggestion. All it took was Freo taking Hill and the dominoes fell.

That being said, given his form in the SANFL finals, I can't see three clubs passing up Trengove before us. He is a superstar in the making and will be a far more damaging player than Scully.

nah ziebell to us was always a good chance i think a fair few people tipped that

I agree that its a longshot.

As I recall, the only good judge who predicted Ziebell to North possibility was Emma Quayle.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Only after Freo showed an interest in Hill, otherwise he was never going to get past Brisbane.

plenty of people worked out freo were going to take hill

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Indeed.

And you'll recall it was only about this time that the notion that Freo WOULDN'T snap up Rich began to be aired.

Which would sort of vindicate my theory.

ok time will tell but i would put my house on trengove being somewhere other than north next year

You have a house? I had visions of you hiding in the library toilets when they locked up, then sneaking back onto the public computer to post through the night.

[roos_fanatic08]

trengove will not be at the roos.

 

[Absolute Gun]

Bump.

I have not seen Cunnington play. Which a lot of people tell me that we might be taking him. Can you tell me a bit about him. What are his skills like???

[Absolute Gun]

Looks a bit like Ziebell the way he plays.
Imagine if we draft him our center square in 3-4 years time.
McIntosh tapping it down to one of Swallow/Ziebell/Cunnington.
We will be called the clearance kings.

 

[magoo]

Gun? Unlikely. But I wouldn't have called Longmire a gun forward either, nor Crocker, not Sholl or the Fridge. QUOTE]

What are you talking about??? Longmire was an absolute dynamite forward before he did his knee. Crocker was also a fantastic forward until persistent injuries pulled him back. Both Scholl and Fridge were not primary forwards, though the former did become one later in his career.

 

[Chadwiko]

Imagine if we draft him our center square in 3-4 years time.
McIntosh tapping it down to one of Swallow/Ziebell/Cunnington.

That does look impressive on paper. All three of those players have the versatility to be clearance machines or hard running skillful 'outside' midfielders.

 

[snrub]

The pre-eminent draft expert among journalists Emma Quayle wrote in an article today: "Cunnington would almost kill someone to get to the ball, and can go forward."

Coz Carlton still took Yarran

Coz Carlton still took Yarran

Still can't believe Carlton took Yarran with pick 6, ahead of Rich and Ziebell.
