List Mgmt. Pick 9

[Eiffel 65]

It's looking like Serong will be bound by blue. The one key note it does say is that Carlton appears most likely to be in the conversation for a trade. I guess we'll have to wait until draft night.

Serong or Stephens. If both are gone SOS will trade pick 9

Stephens for me

According to Balmer, Serong, Stephens and Kemp will all be available at our pick.

According to Balmer, Serong, Stephens and Kemp will all be available at our pick.

And surely we would take Stephens or Kemp ahead of Serong?

 

[HBF]

wonder how crashy this site will get wednesday night?

Very.

 

[HBF]

I still think we have already got our Stephens in LOB.

 

[Eiffel 65]

And surely we would take Stephens or Kemp ahead of Serong?

Got to back the recruiters. They know more than us.

 

[windows1]

I still think we have already got our Stephens in LOB.

Stephens is more capable of playing in the middle. If you can be bothered/ have time watch his game in then SANFL reserves GF.

Only if North lose by a pick after the siren....

 

[GapInIkonPark]

So the variable picks before us from Balmer’s write up seem to be GWS at 4, Adelaide at 7 and Freo’s Second pick (9).

Balmer has us taking Serong and KM says Weightman.

I just cannot see it.

GC Rowell
GC Anderson
Mel Jackson
GWS Ash (Young)
GWS Green (match Syd)
Syd Flanders
Adel McAsey (D Stephens)
Freo Robertson
Freo Young (D Stephens)
Us ...

With Kemp and D Stephens on the board, I think first we bid for Henry, and surely we rate D Stephens or Kemp (or Young or Ash if they slide) ahead of Serong and Weightman.

Why do you think this?
Both Balmer and Twomey rate Serong at 4.

 

[GT619]

According to Balmer, Serong, Stephens and Kemp will all be available at our pick.

good luck being a recruiter picking out of that bunch

 

[GT619]

Kemp at Geelong a pick. Maybe his knee is an issue. But nobody knows. I’ll be happy with either one

 

[thylacine60]

I still think we have already got our Stephens in LOB.

that's debatable, soapy.........

 

[BRADLESTICKS]

My prediction it looks a very even draft sos will trade 9 with Geelong, Port or Gold Coast for 2 picks and target a combination of De koning, Cooper stephens, Sharp or Tayor

No thanks.

Serong will be bound by blue unless someone takes him before us it seems. Disagree with the knocks on him. He's tough, outstanding in close extracting clearances, can play forward and has great hands over head.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Why do you think this?
Both Balmer and Twomey rate Serong at 4.

I think Serong won’t make it as a midfielder at the next level due to size and lack of pace. Kicking is average.

Think D Stephens has the endurance and is a good kick. Has already performed well at SANFL level.

Kemp the big body, has zip and can go forward too.

Young a possibility at our Pick too.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Sounds like Toby Greene.

This doesn’t explain why you think it’s a surety that the club will rate those players higher than Serong. And whether he becomes a mid or not isn’t really relevant. They may rate those players higher, but a surety?

 

[Mr_Plow]

Serong's kicking is better than average, to my eye. Has a really nice action on the left too.

He's just way too heavy for his frame right now, but that can be fixed. Also brings the intangibles of leadership and tenacity.

Wednesday can arrive now.

 

[smashbox gill]

I love how heaps don’t want Serong yet he’s rated top 5 by a lot of ‘experts’.

There’s a reason. Exposed form over 2 years. Can’t see that stopping

 

[mrkyuss]

I want Young.

He'll make it. There are plenty of smaller midfielders that are elite. Lachie Neale and Dion Prestia come to mind.

Russell will trim him down a bit and he'll regain some zip.

Feel a lot more comfortable picking Serong than say Pickett. Think Serong's output at AFL level will be a lot more predictable.

 

[Matty411]

Side note on Pickett, seems the hype train has driven him a long way the last few weeks.

 

[The Bighouse]

Who has trained at the club over recent times?
Serong & Kemp, anyone else?
Sure that LOB got the nod from our previous training interaction with him, which had showcased his wares in an AFL environment.

We had Serong, Kemp, Rowell and Potter as part of this draft training at the club.
