Potential Backmen in this Draft

[buffalopride]

Three of the best, I'd also say Hurley was quiet good.

yeah i agree but hurley cant be drafted yeah? he was deffinatly one of the best on ground i thought his attack on the ball and run out of defence was impressive.

Yes, not eligible until 08. Looks a likely top 10 providing he backs up his performance next year though. Will be interesting to see how he goes in the tac for the rest of the year. Northern will be hard to beat with Hurley at FB, Spiteri and CHB who made metro last year when he was bottom age, and also Bongetti floating around, maybe pushing forward at times.

yep.. beat me to it..

No one's mentioned Croft in this thread, I reckon he's one of the better defenders going around in the TAC. May not be the most 'eye-catching' player, but always does his job and is rarely beaten, just want you want in a defender.

Quinton has been killing it at full back. I can't see him moving out of the back line. Spiteri played forward against Eastern and did quite well. Quinton could go CHB as he can create a bit. Regardless, the Knights will have a strong spine coming home as Spiteri, Hurley and Bongetti can more than handle themselves at both ends.

To make my post relevant to this thread, what do most people see Bongetti as? A forward or a defender? I know he does really well in the back line but he's the competitions leading goal kicker and missed a few games with injury. He lacks endurance and pace off the mark but has an amazing set of hands. If he was to find himself on an AFL list would it be as a backman or a forward? For me, I wouldn't want to see such a set of hands wasted down back.

bongetti, daniher, bristow... the best three key position defenders in TAC cup when played there. Agreed?

I would have Collier up there, very athletic big man capable of playing CHB and FB.

I have heard a lot of talk about Dave Myer at the back too, is he a KPP or a smaller bloke?

Yes, although technically not in tac cup. Daniher will be an obvious father/son, Bongetti and bristow will find themselves 40/50 or beyond. collier is in my mock 25.

The best defenders in the TAC from each side

hurley - northern
daniher - calder

I think NM should go for one of them. Or bongetti with the addition of Collier.

I think the best defender at Dandenong is Paul Rogasch, he is being watched very closely by recruiters from what I have been told and has got under everyones guard on bigfooty. Reminds me a lot of Nathan Bassett and I would love him at Carlton

He's pretty consistent Rogasch. Could be a pretty good value selection later in the draft.

He'll be a top 5 selection next year IMO.
Had a fantastic carnival.

Glenn chivers, you might not have heard of him yet, injured all of last year. i've watched a few aps games to find some unfound talent. his 190cm tall 90kg and plays CHB for st kevins college. Due to his form this year, top 3 in the votes each week, playing on the likes of henderson and croft, keeping croft goaless and keeping henderson to 2 goals, oakleigh chargers have spotted him up, he played his first game at hamiltan in oakleigh's last game and was best on ground. He hasn't just come out of knowhere, played in combined sides including the Vic u12 team. one to watch, get down to oakliegh tommorow for a look.

So we know that Nautiniu, Hurley, Corneluis are all ineligible to be drafted this year. Who else is there?

Selwood can be drafted this year.

 

[scooter600x]

WA's Rance looked good on Wednesday.

Suban who was the VC MVP...

 

[bomberandy]

How about Patrick Dangerfield from the Falcons?

 

[Fireman_sam]

What about Jarrad Grant? I know he has been playing forward both for dandenong and peninsula is agsv.. But he did make all Australian in under 16s.... very good off a half back flank. reminds me of Goldsack from collingwood...

 

[Badga]

WA's Rance looked good on Wednesday.

Can anyone give me some information about this guy?

 

[catzfan]

is selwood young?

 

[The Fossil]

Two potential backmen are u/19 players in Scott and Saker form Falcons and Bushrangers respectively.

Both very tall, have good pace, have stopped quality opposition and both quite creative. Both filled in for VC at trial matches...
