Prediction Pick 6

[TradeDraft]

if we reach at 6 the question has to be asked why we didn't trade back.

Maybe because no one wanted to do that Trade

Even though Hines drafting performance has waned a bit in the last 5 years, is still think 2016 draft will end up being a good one, Daicos looks a star.

 

[TradeDraft]

Oh yeah agreed 100%. I was just saying even if he wouldn't be my choice for pick 6 I wouldn't be shattered like were

I can't wait either. A full day watching cricket. Picking up fish and chips for tea. Then settling in to watch the draft. Its going to be a great day!

I am going to south lands to fill Friday end as our Capert is getting Cleaned

I don't want to alarm anyone, but there is currently a popular vote occurring around the #1 bird in Australia. The magpie is currently being pipped by the Ibis, aka bin chicken, so time to vote. Vote early and vote often.

Are you willing to give the club a pass if they draft a guy that ends up a Cam Guthrie type while the next pick ends up a Patrick Dangerfield type?

I just think pick six is absolutely massive for our future success......as they say in poker you have to know when to hold them and when to fold them.

In our position the Guthrie type might have to do so yes I would be willing to give the Club a pass mark.

That's not even remotely how drafting works though.

You can't draft with the belief that you may not know what you're talking about, and go against your better instincts to play things safe.

If they draft a guy with significant upside, it's in part because they have confidence that they're going to reach it, and that even if they don't, they'll still probably turn out as good as the safe prospect.

If the pick is a failure, then you revise your recruiting department/strategy, but you don't get them to hedge against their own expertise.

I don't see an issue with going safe mate.

Who would you pick V V?

I know this was directed toward CFC, but I would absolutely give us a pass. Cam Guthrie is immensely underrated, IMO! That’s not to say I wouldn’t prefer the Dangerfield type just that I would give the club a pass for bringing in someone of Guthrie’s quality.

That is the problem with these kids. Trying to measure upside. Lot's of man child types who look good at u18 level but don't have much natural improvement in them, whereas often its the highly skilled types/fast who lack the strength etc at u18 level but have a lot more upside.

That said, a top 6 pick should be pretty easy to get a 200 game player out of.

Its hard to jusge for sure. You only have to look at Nat Fyfe's U/18 "highlights" to see how difficult it is to project 3/4/5 years down the track. If he was available this year at Pick 6, I guarantee every man to a tee would be laughing him off as a joke.

 

[Pacman Carney]

Naughton make the Most Sense as he Fits Need and Rating him.

Question is do you think his Disposal will get better or not

I’ve watched him play WAFL seniors. I’d take him at 6 no question.

I'm coming around to Naughton. My first preference is Stephenson (assuming the top 5 are Rayner, LDU,Brayshaw, Cerra and Dow). But Naughton certainly fits a need and despite his kicking style, he seems mostly effective. He surely can position himself well and has a good pair of mits.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Even though Hines drafting performance has waned a bit in the last 5 years, is still think 2016 draft will end up being a good one, Daicos looks a star.

I just don’t get the excitement over Josh Daicos and Callum Brown. A star? I don’t even see a best-22 player yet.

 

[left at home]

Stephenson for outside speed would be nice
Naughton as a list fit
Fogarty could be anything
Coffield skill
And Bonar not for injury would be no1. The kid looks to be class.
Any of those would not be unhappy with

 

[Saintly Viewed]

So have we got someone yet?

yeah...last years fervour has dropped off a bit. But it's early days still, perhaps one of them will step up. At the time it seemed to me we wasted one draft pick by taking both...but let's see where we are in a couple of years..

Well you should be happy by Friday night then...surely we are taking one of the above (unless a TOP 5 mid drops)

Depends on is the one that drops

 

[Matt_352]

Id rather we take Richards than Murphy

Same Here. I see them coming Good AFL Players at Best and nothing Special

What about Richards and Murphy

I would agree with most of that but I would have Bonar about the same as Murphy and Richards

Dominoes must fall first in case one of the fab five falls
