Stanton - Pick 6 ?

[Kramer1]

I don't think we can be too disparaging. His 08 stats actually stack up very similarly to Stevo, and Stevo had a pretty good year.

Certainly worth pick 24.

 

[Bronx Bomber]

i'll take pick 100 just to get him out our team.

what a hack

And to think the gave him the number 5 jumper....

 

[TheNumber4]

The bumbers are shopping Stanton around I reckon this guy is an elite mid who was slightly down on output this year. At Carlton he would run free and with a massive engine and probably 170 + games left in him I think he would be a great get.

Thoughts

Get real please!

 

[High Ryder]

Not worth pick 6 probably but is deff underrated by you guys.

Averaged 22 possies, just under a goal a game, 3 and a half tackles and 4 and a half Inside 50's. Would be worth a pick between 10-15 with ease.

No thanks. Not worth selection #6, and not an area that needs addressing. He can stay at Windy Hill.

Good keep him then

 

[Cruiser23]

I wouldn't even give pick 40 for him he is a disgrace. No wonder there are rumours Hird wants to come back and play, he mustn't be able to stand having his number worn by such a hack.

Averaged 22 possies, ...

So did Mark McGough.

 

[bLuEbOy1984]

Big red = nooob

 

[Shambolic]

This is the first time I've seen Brent Stanton and elite midfielder in the same sentence...

Except when talking to Essendon fans who think he is the bees knees. Good hard gutrunner but not a match winner in any sense of the word.

 

[Blueinblood]

bahahah nice try

 

[BLUE BLEEDING]

no. ..

 

[Big Red is back]

Please list the last 10 players to be selected at number 6 and I hazard a guess Stanton will be looking pretty good after that.

I sometimes get the feeling the guys on this board massively undervalue quality players from othersides and massively overvalue Carlton players.

If not pick 6 then maybe Pick 6 for Stanton plus and exchange of 2nd round picks giving us more leverage to get Warnock with a slightly earlier selection

 

[Big Red is back]

Since 1998 the number 6 pick has been
1998-Murray Vance (5 career games for Carlton!!!!)
1999-Damian Cupido
2000-Dylan Smith
2001-Ashley Sampi
2002-Steven Salopek
2003-Kepler Bradley
2004-Tom Williams
2005-Beau Dowler
2006-Mitch Thorp
2007-David Myers

Stanton craps all over these guys with the exception of Salopek who is high quality

 

[Sublime]

You do realise that those selections have absolutely ZERO meaning towards this years selection don't you?

Keep drumming that point if you want little drummer boy. Eventually someone will listen.

 

[Pennypacker]

Stanton's an ok player in a really bad midfield. I would be iffy on trading pick 24 for him, any talk of pick 6 is laughable.

I think you guys are over rating what you can get for pick #6. If you have a look at the players that have been chosen at #6 since 1998 there is only one player who is comparable to Stanton and thats Salopek.

I would rather have a guaranteed gun than take a punt on someone who could turn out to be a bum like Damian Cupido.

Why would Stanton get a heavy tag if he wasnt a gun?? He averaged 22 possessions this year and kicked 18 goals - that is a good season in anyone's language.
Its at least worth considering.

Deaf ears.....I don't think he gets it Sublime.

After a comment like that you have no idea about football and should be banned on bigfooty

U do realise that pick 6 isn't all that flash hot ... apart from Salopek the rest stink so if history is any guide then I have a feeling we need to consider Essendons number 1 mid who is only 22.

Crusier is a mental lightweight so ignore him

And you should be banned from BF for making out like being a bum isn't a valid career option!

How is that relevant? So pick 6 is jinxed or something? What pox logic is that? Pick 6 is the chance to get the 6th best rated youngster in the land. If you muck it up you muck it up but the chance to do that is much bigger than trading for someone already 5 years into their career.

WHO CARES IF PICK 6 HASNT WORKED FOR OTHERS? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PICK JINX
