Re: Pick 52:

If you'd told me we could get our second pick in this year's draft in exchange for Warnock after his round 10 display against the Blues I would have googled the appropriate "Dumb Bitch!" face. If you'd told me that pick was 52, I wouldn't be quite so happy.

Re: Pick 52:

He reminds me of a shorter Jake Carlisle from Essendon.

AFL website's phantom draft had him to us at pick 36... Not that that means much!

 

[Logger]

“Josh is a medium-tall from Gippsland Power, who had a really good national championship and was really brave in the air.”

“He played mainly as a key back for Gippsland Power during the year - through their absence of tall defenders - but he can play tall and he can play small. There is a limit to how tall he can play in the AFL system.

“But he kicks it quite well and he makes good decisions with the footy and he doesn’t overplay the situation. He might have scope in other areas of the ground as well, so we’re not just pigeon-holing him as a defender.

“At that pick, we just thought he was a pretty talented player at pick 52 in the draft. It’s the old saying, but we couldn’t believe he was there.”

There was a looooong pause before we called his name out and I get the feeling he was one of those we would have taken at 36 if Taggert wasn't available. I'm guessing when we saw he was still on the table we went for best available over a needs-based player that we had pencilled in for this pick.

Thats what i thought too, but we had pick 54 also 2 picks later, i think it might have been between Tynan and Marksworth personally. Mainly because alot of people liked Marksworth.

Maybe we thought Marksworth wass more likely to slide to 54 than Tynan? in the end Marksworth didnt and we picked Sellar with 54 who may have been are fall back option?

 

[master bate]

Listening to BP it sounds like Sellar was pretty much a lock at 54, but at 52 they had 2 options available, possibly Tynan and Woodward, of which they probably thought they'd have one available at best.

When they realised they had both they went back into the huddle to see if they could change their minds on Sellar and go with the two kids. I'm sure that would have been BP's first preference, but I think Neeld would be unwilling to sacrifice his structural plans with Sellar and therefore told BP to stick to plan A and draft Tynan.

His described as a hb who is cool, calm and a good decision maker.

We need that sort of player badly.

Good to see a Gippsland boy coming to the club

I second that. He's from down the road from you as well (Garfield).
Good to see us take a Gippslander. Last player we took from Gippsland Power was Mark Bradly.

 

[Lennex15]

checked out his highlights and he looks the goods strong tackler and a great overhead mark likes a contest.

He looks like a good pick for mid 50's

Just read this on Demonland. It's from a WJ source and got me slightly excited.

"Joshua Tynan is another good medium sized defender to come out of this draft. He is as much of a ‘sure thing’ to come out of this draft as you’re going to get. He reads the play really well, but it’s his kicking skills that are just fantastic. In the first final, he racked up 27 kicks alone, 23 of those were effective. In the second final, same result, 14 kicks, 13 effective. Any club that picks him up after pick 20, will be getting themselves a bargain in my opinion."

Interesting little snippet S39, but its a hard one, these guys can make anyone sound like a player. But Tynan was placed as high as 25-30 odd in many mocks so he must have some quality about him imo. The fact that he was getting disposals where high and his efficiency matched it is the bets part.

This draft was always labelled a "raffle" just because it was a bit shallow... i like the look of it personally. We picked up two pretty likely types for the midfield. both meant to have the skills which many picked before them seemingly dont. And in the modern game this is half the puzzle, teach them to chase and run and be fit, kicking and handballing to targets takes a bit more imo.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Agree with Mentor, good to be optimistic but those pre-draft bios are a raffle.

Think about the love-in re. Strauss' elite kicking skills when he was drafted.

guys was speaking to one of the boys I went to school wit on Saturday night and he was telling me how he did some recruiting for us this year and was in the big draft meeting.. said they rated Tynan in the top 30 nd they reckon he's a steal at 52..
