List Mgmt. The 2017 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals Thread II

[scaryness]

Player watch threads are all up

 

[Mick Oxlong]

If we really wanted to keep him, we'd just keep him.

Yeah...nah! Same could be said for AJ then.

Really happy with the pick up of Amartey.

He started off the year a bit slowly (as a forward) before coming into his own in the final part of the season as a ruckman. In fact in each of the games he has played predominantly in the ruck he has been named in the best players (Including each game during the finals).

His a bit of an impact player (lacks consistency at times) but generally shows up a few times each game and makes a fair bit of an impact.

Can play up forward and in the ruck, usually uses his athleticism to his advantage and is known to take some pretty big marks. If anything as a ruckman I would probably liken his athleticism and play style to Naitanui

On the negative side he was the player that missed the shot after the siren in the TAC grand final.

Was really surprised when he wasn't drafted, his raw but with his athleticism I thought he would of been a top 40 pick.

From the footage, Styles looks like he may be comfortable kicking with both feet. Likes to handball with the left hand too.

37 is off limits but there are some other very good numbers there.

Ling - 11
McCartin - 19
Stoddart - 32
Styles - 33
Amartey - 48

 

[scaryness]

Melican to a lower number too probably.

Something I noticed about our national draft and then rookie draft selections is that the 3 smaller guys we picked (Ling, Stoddart and Styles) are all excellent users of the football but all of them also seem to have issues with accumulating it. I think of the 3 of them Stoddart averages the most disposals per game and he is only at about 14 or 15.

They haven't even played a game !

I am going by their U18 stats, or the stats of whatever league they generally play in.

Just give them a chance

I am not saying that any of them can't make it, I just find it interesting that of the smaller guys (Ling, Stoddart, Brown, Bell, Styles) they all average at around 10 to 15 disposals a game. We didn't pick up a single accumulator.

Still would have rather given Sam Collins a go but happy enough with our first two rookie picks.

 

[Tedeski]

Available guernsey numbers:
11, 19, 30, 32, 33, 37(?), 45, 46, 48, 49, 50

Bell will get 19.
Ling will get 11.
McCartin 30.
Stoddart 32.
Styles 33.
Amartey 37.
Brown 45.

Liking we have targeted players that fill a need in our team structure; speed, run and foot skills. Whether any of them can break into the seniors next year or beyond time will tell but I like the intent.

WTF didn't we!? Their fans were ropeable he was cut. We are so close to a flag, but if Grundy goes down we have a kid yet to debut, AA who can't defend a lead, or AJ who must have incriminating photos as cover.
There must be someting we don't know stopping him getting picked up.

I hope not. I love it when players own the number that they receive when drafted.

I love that they've done it and stuck to a plan. I like how we took 2 project talls to keep Pink company. 3 half back flankers.

Next years draft is promising and we have 3 picks inside the top 36 already.

Because we already have them. They have been recruited for a specific reason. We are too harsh at looking at the bad side , look at what they may bring with maturity.

So no Jack Hardman?

That surprises me a bit. I wonder what happened... all was pretty positive last year. He's got a very late birthday so you would think there is still plenty of development to come - exactly what the rookie list is for.

Well he's not with us, move on.

That is what I thought. He kicked something like 12 goals in 5 games in the academy series which is not a bad effort. I would have thought he was close to a lock as a rookie selection.

 

[anotherletdown]

Also no one picked up Parish. That was a surprise as at least stats wise he was quite good.

Another one dimensional younger brother of a gun with no composure who can't kick to save himself. See Sharenberg last year.
