I think Hine will go for Coffield... think he is a Hine type. Impeccable character, still to fill out & Disposal is A1... vs Stephenson & Bonar's kicking, which is problematic. If he is Pendles with pace, he'd be hard for Derek to pass up.

Go home factor will work against Fog imo, along with his stunted development...

Where is Fogarty going to ‘go home’ to? Fairly sure that Lucindale doesn’t currently have an AFL club.
 
I've changed my mind 100 times, but I'd be really happy with Fogarty. At 192 - 193cm (and how knows maybe still growing), he is that perfect height now for a modern forward. He also has relentless attack on the footy and scope to also play midfield. He also has good footskills and strength.

He obviously struggled through this year with injury, and I understand the concerns that he had a quiet year. Clearly the injuries would have had a significant impact.

I'd really like Coffield too. Would love to be in St.Kilda's position with picks 7 and 8.

I reckon though we've invested in Murray as the speedy half back, so our biggest need is a forward. Fogarty might not be exactly the KPP we desire, but we already have Moore at 200cm, and I don't see many teams going in with 2 200cm guys these days.

I like the Adelaide setup with Jenkins at 200cm, then Walker at 193ish. West Coast also structure nicely with Kennedy (195cm) and Darling (192cm).

I'd then go tall at our next 2 picks as well with key defenders.

I'd be happy taking our chances with one of Hugh Dixon, Harrison Petty, Oscar Clavarino or even Charlie Ballard (195 cm not complaining) being available at pick 38 if it means we take someone like Coffield or Fogarty at pick 6.
Even Hayden McClean or Tom McCartin could be worth a punt at our later picks

McLean at 56 would be a great selection!

He started the season like a house on fire (dominant in 2 early rep games, Good SANFL debut) and then was ok-good for most of the rest (bar his VM game where he was a non event) injury hampered going into u18 champs.

I don't agree with this. Moore is a real marking threat, particularly when he has a run at the football. I think his body will fill out a bit more and he'll also be a decent body on body player.

But I've seen him out-mark opponents purely on his reach, so I think he utilizes his height well...he just doesn't have the core strength or stamina. I've also seen Moore do decent in the ruck.

I agree he isn't necessarily a "power-forward", but I think he utilizes his unique blend of height and athleticism well.

I was talking more from an agility standpoint, he has the flexibility to play slightly smaller and the height is not a burden on work below the knees and outside of marking competitions.

If KM’s bio is right and Fog is 193cm I’m perfectly happy taking him as a legitimate KPP prospect. That’s the same height as Nick Reiwoldt and Jarryd Roughead. Get him in.

Agree, and provides a nice contrast to what we already have available.
 
Would we dare? (probably not but wowee BT)

Magpie Royalty pushes into 1st Round

IT TOOK Ed Richards a little while to understand the significance of his surname at Collingwood. And although he might not continue its famous history in the black and white, he does look set to add another chapter to its lineage at football's top level.

Richards, who shapes as an early pick at this year's NAB AFL Draft, is the grandson of former Pies great Ron Richards, who played 147 games for the Magpies between 1947-56. Ron's brother was Pies premiership skipper Lou Richards, who played 250 games for the club and is a Collingwood legend.

Ed was something of a bolter as the season wore on in 2017, staking his draft claim with some excellent performances for the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup having missed selection for Vic Metro due to a knee injury around the time the squad was picked.

WhyTheyShouldPickHimv2.jpg


There are few half-backs in this draft with the kind of weapons Richards has at his disposal – in his sharp left-foot kicking, smart game sense and turn of foot. The 18-year-old packages those traits to be an important player for his side as someone who sets his team up and gets things going.

He can be trusted by foot, he takes his risks with his kicking to get his team into dangerous areas, and he can get out of traffic with a clever sidestep or quick shimmy. He's tough and has no problems with floating back with the flight of the ball, and he has also at times drifted forward and into the midfield for shorter stints to highlight his versatility. Richards' combination of traits suits the modern game.

the-query.jpg


There isn't too much to worry about with Richards. Perhaps one knock would be that he hasn't been a big ball-winner at under-18 level – he averaged 15 disposals for the Chargers across the season – so won't come into the top level having had that type of experience. Having missed the championships he also didn't get the chance to play against the best prospects his age from around the country, so recruiters might not have that reference point they have for others.

Richards plays in a similar vein to Zac Williams from Greater Western Sydney in his attacking role across half-back, or even like Carlton's Sam Docherty with his run and good disposal.

draft-range.jpg


The crafty and classy defender's finish to the season has seen him rocket into top-20 calculations. Richards is a player whose traits are in vogue.

bottom-line.jpg


Quietly determined and confident, Richards plays with a surety that sees him make an impact whenever he has the ball. Tough in the air, hard on the ground and competitive as anyone, Richards has an edge to his game.
