List Mgmt. Who do you want to draft?

[year of the cat]

Stocker of the mids that could be around our pick is the one I’d take. Have a feeling that GWS may use one of their earlier picks on him. Presents as a level headed, mature guy that could handle the move to Sydney having lived o/s for a bit of his early life.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

I like Stocker and don’t agree we have too many of his “type”. We’re drafting for the teams future as much as the present. Our midfield will be very different in 2-3 years time. Atm who are the young mids who will take over? Constable and Parfitt someone like Stocker would go well with those two.

 

[Shadow89]

I'm gonna reiterate again - Jordan. Clark.

 

[calder_daddy]

I'd pick Smith at 12. Him, Butters or Caldwell.

All over the Butters clan

Agree, and I wouldn’t be banking on Constable yet. Not at least until he’s debuted.

 

[Ratcat]

Agree, and I wouldn’t be banking on Constable yet. Not at least until he’s debuted.

That's true he's the only big young mid we have and our liteny of smalls can't all play forward, so it's midfield or bust for 3 or 4.

That's why it's imperitive to use the 1st pick wisely and recruit a med/big mid to balance the current group.
A good read is "Ely Smith wins the John Byrne medal.
Highlights his inside and outside game and outstanding 32, 10 clearance state game.
Also his 37 possessions holding the Falcons goaless for the first time in their history.
I hope Wells has this guy penciled in P12 because we need a bigger mid amongst the youth.

True he needs to show he can play at the level. But I’m a big fan and he seems like a leader. We also haven’t had a lot of players recently come through who have a lot of obvious leadership. Stewart is the other one although older is a very good leader.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Where do people think Connor Idun will be drafted? An article mid year had him potentially as a 2nd/3rd pick. That could put him out of our reach. Do people think he’d be available at our pick 50? Has he grown to key defender size? He seems to have performed very well on talls and smalls the last 2 years on the best forwards.

Would you pick Hately ahead of Ely Smith if available at 12?

 

[Anthony Geelong]

Would you pick Hately ahead of Ely Smith if available at 12?

You would probably have to go for Hately as the prospect, Ely Smith is not that 190+ style mid, he's more of the SPP except better on the outside. If we had a pick 20 thats probably his max that you'd take him, but if he were to go earlier I think he'd still be worth it

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Would you pick Hately ahead of Ely Smith if available at 12?

I wouldn't pick Hately if he fell to pick 25 and we had it.

 

[CatRiot]

I wouldn't pick Hately if he fell to pick 25 and we had it.

He comes across well credentialed - good stats at SANFL and at U18 Champs, but tbh I don't think he has a standout attribute. Just my 2c. I could be totally wrong.

Geez, if Rozee was available, no questions asked.

Ely will be a beast mid faster than Hateley
Around better athlete as combine proves. A mass accumulator it's his dna.
Beaten Walsh twice this year Smith over Hately for me.

Agreed... I'm with u on Ely.

Hahaha you have got to be kidding.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Hahaha you have got to be kidding.

I agree with him.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Me too.... (I agree with him)

 

[Max Milburn]

Me too.... (I agree with him)

And I agree with you.

Can we get a poll added to this thread?

 

[WillJaffa32]

Said it before but I expect a late first round/second round to come our way on draft night through live picks. We've been the first for may draft experiments recently. (Tuohy and future picks, Kreuger deal, pick swap after trade period)

You're gonna have to put in 50 different names based on what I've seen

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Someone who is realistic for pick 12. There wouldn't be 50 names.

I don't know how likely this is, but it would please me.

 

[Two Planks]

I get the feeling that Wells will pick McHenry

 

[Max Milburn]

I want to draft Ratcat to the recruitment department. I long to see a Geelong team with nobody under 6' 11"!
