Preview PSD - Who will we take?

[MileHigh]

Ok theres been enough conjecture in every other thread. Who will we take IYO?

One name answers - who you think we will take, who you would like us to take (should they last to pick 9 or not have signed up if currently unsigned).

 

[mj300985]

McDonald
Thorp

please not Robbo

 

[Sin City]

Don't think we will use it

 

[MileHigh]

This is my list of players available at this stage worthy of noting.

Jesse Smith
Jamie McNamara
Russell Robertson
Mitch Thorp
Mark Coughlan
Nathan Brown
Shane Tuck
Daniel Bradshaw (Sydney)
Joel McDonald
Rhan Hooper
Kane Tenace

Unsigned
Andrew Welsh
Adam McPhee

 

[parrot]

1. Thorp
2. Smith
3. No one. Get an extra rookie.

 

[Salaryman]

Another option is to wait and see if any rated draftees slip through the ND and use it as an opportunity to pounce before GC take the first 5-6 rookie picks.

 

[Jeremias]

Just remember - not all delisted players is spuds.

There are a large number of players that could make their way into the PSD. Still, I'd like to see a full list before making any final decisions in my mind.

The players we should be seriously looking at, if they are available are as follows.

Russell Robertson
Luke Ball
Andrew Welsh
Adam McPhee
Joel Macdonald
Scott Simpson
Simon Buckley
Jesse Smith

Mitch Thorp is the popular option but considering we got rid of one player recently for being a head-case I cannot see the logic behind bringing in another headcase who is 8 years younger.

If we went after Tenace or Hooper I'd throw up. One can't dispose of the footy to save himself and the other isn't committed to getting the best out of himself.

Jamie McNamara has also been mentioned but cannot see what he would possibly add to our squad that we couldn't get through the ND.

Another option is to wait and see if any rated draftees slip through the ND and use it as an opportunity to pounce before GC take the first 5-6 rookie picks.

In that case why wouldn't we take someone that slips through with our last pick in the ND rather than passing on that and hoping they slip through some more picks to our PSD pick?

 

[Salaryman]

to survey the landscape and see if any senior players fall through, give us more time to look at players training with us, etc....

Hi there. You look like someone i can ask a question and get a solid reliable answer.With for example Daniel Bradshaw how did he get a choice of Carlton or Sydney?
its obvious now that he is going to sydney but i was under the impression that he would just go in to the draft and anyone could get him ? ........ Also Collingwood are still confident of getting Luke Ball over the line how is the question and Andrew Welsh has indicated collingwood as his choice of club if essendon cant fulfill his contact requirements. sorry to bother you but im dum founded ....

kind regards Steve

 

[Hummer]

Add Matt Mcguire to the list

 

[shell23]

1)Kite / Buckley(only need one of these guyz)
2)Welsh / Mcphee
3)Maguire

Who me?

You nominate for PSD in the hope nobody else touches you to get to where you want to be. In some instances you can achieve this by agreeing with a club on a salary, pricing teams with earlier picks out of the equation. This was a scenario when Melbourne would have tried to make a play at Judd if WCE couldnt do a deal, with Carlton being at pick 2. I guess you also hope there is a gentlemans agreement, after all why would you want a player at a club who doesnt want to be there.

You can also nominate for both the National Draft and PSD if you are an uncontracted player.

Think - Buckley
Like - there's a few but I'd go with Thorp, if the gamble came off the upside for us would be tremendous.

 

[Sergio]

Will take: Macguire if still available, otherwise Robbo.

Should take: Macguire is still available, otherwise i can't decide between robbo, jesse smith, thorp, mcdonald.

there are some very solid players getting delisted this year!

 

[bluesfan95]

we could take a punt on Thorp, maybe a change of clubs will be what he needs.

 

[OZBomb]

I don't think we'll participate.

I imagine we'll also elevate Garlett if there's nothing left by our third pick. Wouldn't be surprised if we rookie Kite.

 

[DarkTint]

want: jessie smith
think: simon buckley

 

[BlueNorthernRage]

1 Smith
2 Buckley
3 Rookie

 

[Jimthegreat]

According to Greg Swann on SEN today we won't be participating in the PSD.

 

[MileHigh]

Buckley? Why Buckley? Have we not learnt anything from the Chris Johnson debarkle of last year? Melbourne dont want him and they finished last, so why would he work for us?

Take a gamble - go for Thorp or McGuire. All or nothing.

 

[Aphrodite]

According to Greg Swann on SEN today we won't be participating in the PSD.

I heard that as well & he mentioned that we may only use 2 picks in the National Draft.

 

[Aphrodite]

Oh no Polak has just been delisted by the Punt Rd ferals

Heaven help anyone that starts a thread on drafting him !!!!!!!

My thoughts on us picking up Scott Simpson:

It's already been done..

 

[Robbo's my hero]

According to Greg Swann on SEN today we won't be participating in the PSD.

I've been battling the white wall of death for a couple of hours. When I searched for Big Footy through Bing it got me in. Woo Hoo.

This sounds right to me. Unless we delist another player it looks like picks #12 and #43 plus some new rookie listed players. I'd say Garlett will be the nominated rookie for 2010. Hopefully the younger guys listed as PSD can be rookied.
