Prediction Pick 6

[neilk]

Not sure we would take Ed Richards at 6 but had an email from his father just now:

"Thanks Neil
Yes it’s been a while
Yes proud would be an understatement for our family
Eds come from no where with just sheer hard work perseverance with the mini setback knee injury earlier this year that saw him just miss out on the Vic Metro selection
But not to be daunted bum down chin up saw an outstanding year at Year 12 at Carey and solid TAC games at Chargers the Red gained all his notoriety
We are hoping for your result(Pies) but we know the vagaries of Draft and AFL so any team will suit us
Thanks for the support
Kane"

If we are to use the excuse of him being "under resourced", go have a look at his understudy at Melbourne- Jason Taylor.
You can't tell me they've been more resourced than us…yet he has found some very good players in his time with Melbourne.

Im not necessarily defending Hine but that's a shithouse call - it's a bit harder to screw things up when you are picking a lot earlier in the first few rounds (and often have multiple picks in the first and/or second round).

Even having said that I'd say their drafting overall hasn't been great over the past 4-5 years - a few obvious good gets with top 5 picks but aside from that nothing to really write home about.

ADAM CERRA
POS: Midfielder, Ht 186cm, Wt 85kg, DOB 7/10/1999
From Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro

He might not be the key position type the Pies will be searching for, but getting Cerra at No.6 would add more polish to a very good midfield. The class and poise that Cerra possesses will appeal to clubs at the top of the draft order, with the Eastern Ranges teenager one of the better ball users in the pool. Cerra hasn't played as much footy over the past two years that he would have liked but when he was out there he showed his skills. He's also very tough. Don't let the well-spoken, controlled and calm demeanour fool you – he's a hard and determined competitor when the ball is up for grabs.

If not him? Aaron Naughton, Darcy Fogarty, Jaidyn Stephenson and Andrew Brayshaw are the other main contenders here, while Ed Richards has been all the late mail.

Sounds like Richards is a Very Good Chance being our Pick. Though I doubt we pick Richards IF Cerra is Still There

Toomeys PD is out and he has us taking Cerra with north taking Fogarty.

And my nick lives!

Draft picks: 6, 38, 56, 61 (likely to use four selections)

Collingwood has nominated Tyler Brown as a father-son pick, and there's a good chance a bid won't come before pick 38 for the medium midfielder who is the son of premiership Pie Gavin. That would be the ideal result for the club, but there are a few clubs who like him in that range. If the Pies go with a midfielder at No.6 they could look to add some key defenders to their mix later on. Noah Balta has been linked to the Magpies and has some genuine athletic qualities, while tall stopper Oscar Clavarino might be a solid selection with a pick later in the draft if the Pies want to bring in some depth in that area.

If we take ed, where does Murray fit into the the team

 

[HFF]

If we ended up with one of the midfield gun sliders like Cerra- whilst Fogarty would be good- that would also be an fantastic result really.

Up to him and how much he wants it. Even more competition when we get Quaynor next year.

Then not a need then.

It might grow on you like a cancerous cyst rather than something you are happy to show off to others through revealing garments.

Makes that Trade even more Redundant

Even l like have the father/son, even grandson connection, but only if they and the club sees them the best at that pick.
But gee l hope ed is not at the blues though.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

no leaks on our pick in the same year Pert isn't there. Bit of an assumption to make but I'm making it because I was happy to see him go

We haven’t had a pick for three years.

 

[Matt_352]

I dont think Hine will take Ed because of Murray and Quaynor but. Seeing Ed in anything other than a pies jumper is sickening

Big Reason that Big ED would make sure we pick Richards

No it will because of Hine, that he thinks he is the right player.
Big Ed will have no say in it.

No getting Ed is, unless he can be the outside player we need

Touche, but it didn't stop you from posting that or him with his critique of BF posters now did it?

It was just an observation. I acknowledge and accept BF as my preferred method of procrastination
