2010 Drafting, Trading, List Management Thread

He would have played the Thunder last year, when Pfeiffer was with Southport.

Ah, I see. Was going to say I don't remember the Legs playing them this year.

The trial run of the BigFooty Phantom Draft is just about over, and I've finished up with our selections. How did I do?

Also, head over to the phantom draft board for all the other write ups.

I really like the first two picks, in particular Clay Smith. Sounds like a great fit.

Has Newman proven to be a good/dangerous small forward? And when we're talking pace, are we talking Jeff Garlett pace (jet)? Or Ballantyne pace (marginally slower jet)? Or DeBoer pace (fast)?

 

[Patty_Moz]

Another thing about this years compromised draft is that Port, GC and probably Brisbane will all finish winning four games or less. Doesnt this mean that they will all get compensation picks at the end of the first round? That means even if nobody nominates to use their other compensation picks from GC and GWS that the first selection in round 2 will be at pick 29 pushing our later picks out just that bit further in a supposed weak draft.

 

[blueiris]

the second round of the draft will be pick 30 if brisbane win another game or 31 if they dont win as Brisbane have decided to use a compo pick the one they got for Sherman I think

Yeah, but unlike the song we don't need the time before you finish to get it.

 

[Man of Men]

imo out of all the mature age players ive seen in the wafl in the past couple of years
if you want a pacy midfielder/forward pocket you get alroy gilligan
you want a tough inside midfielder you go for luke blackwell
if you want a tough, quick back pocket you go for graham jetta
and whilst not technically a wafl player, if you want a competitive kpf with some runs on the board then you go for callum wilson

just my 2 bobs worth

[valkorum]

I think most people are in agreeance that we need a KPF and Freo have made it clear that they are going to be agressive in trade talks this year. They have also made it clear that we dont want Fev (who is the best KPF available but has a lot of baggage).

What are people's thoughts about targeting Tomahawk. He seems to be stagnating at the Cattery - has good size, has ability but something is not clicking down there. Maybe a change of scenary could be what he needs.

The other obvious choice is targeting Dawes which has been discussed briefly in other threads.

would much rather hawkins over clark. dawes is ok but i think he gets made to look better than he really is by being in a dominant team..

tbh i would like to see how a fwd line of anthony and pav would function first as that wasnt really given a chance this year but i think we've got our heart set on bringing someone in

 

[Clay Davis]

Really? I think Hawkins is still yet to peak, but Dawes looking good in a dominant team is better than what Hawkins has shown in a dominant team.

 

[Lach72]

Dawes today, tomorrow and twice on Sunday's.

[Nickos66]

I'm not interested in either.

Hawkins is still a fatty.

 

[Dudley Leopard]

I see one S Kersten has kicked a lazy 7 to 3/4 time in the colts so far.

Could be a good pickup for 1st round. Will not last to 2nd round.

 

[Nickos66]

At this rate we won't have a 1st round pick seeing as we're 'chasing' Clark & JOM.
That said - I want this Kersten kid, badly.

 

[theGav56]

I want this Kersten kid, badly.

Certainly worth a look, but he is an aggressive, under-sized KPP doing well in the Colts. Now I don't know him at all, and have only read the bigfooty blogs which look good enough. But he sounds a lot like he may be a 3rd tall at AFL level.

 

[blue shark]

This kid sounds alot like Darling, undersized Forward, we all know how that turned out, safer to get a flanker.

 

[Nickos66]

 

[Scham]

Nat Fyfe too was considered an under sized key forward. We know also how that turned out.

 

[theGav56]

Nat Fyfe too was considered an under sized key forward. We know also how that turned out.

I have never actually read/heard that? I know he was considered a forward, but we need a Key Forward and even with the growing he has done he'd still be undersized.

 

[Shaymuhz]

Really? I think Hawkins is still yet to peak, but Dawes looking good in a dominant team is better than what Hawkins has shown in a dominant team.

i guess thats because to me it looks as if dawes is already playing pretty close to his potential whereas hawkins could be a beast if he put it all together. i dont think the chances of that happening are very high tho..

 

[free at last]

Read on one of the phantom drafts that freo's first pick will be Jordan Lockyer.
I've only seen him on the tele a few times,looked pretty impressive.
Similar height to SNOS & same courage,FEARLESS.
Is he a tad to short to be our future CHB? Still might be room for more height?
Good chance he would play straight away too.

 

[Chris25]

Harvey listed players with speed in defence and the midfield, as well as a key forward, would be priorities.

If only we had a fringe midfielder with pace...

Couldn't agree more with those needs. We would have to be one of the slowest sides in the league, we have Hill and Ballantyne and then nothing.

So with that in mind, we could do a lot worse than Graham Jetta, Jarrhan Jacky, Haydn Busher and Tom Lee. Four mature aged WAFL players who, realistically, all would have seen a fair amount of game time this year for Fremantle.

Just fixed that for you...
