Unofficial Preview 2013 Draft Watch

[Wooly23]

We need to trade for picks, fill up on young players with potential, and players to take over from our olders players.
Luke Mcdonald get him no matter what.
1.Lewis Taylor, 2.Jay Kennedy-Harris or 3.Jarman Impey would be lovely to get one of them or a couple depends how they play in the championships. Depends what happens with mcdonald but if taylor is there when our second pick is up take him if not JKH, Impey will be later in the draft.
Dayle Garlett worth the risk but i dont think we could get him with our picks.
Nathan Freeman sounds like the outside player we need.

I like you style, all contested ball winners, who can be explosive goal kickers when playing on the outside

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Boyd's contested marking is very solid, but a lot of his bags have been on undersize kids, its really hard to judge him because of that fact.

Same story when Tom Hawkins was in juniors. Hard to judge the freak specimens at such a young age. Agree with your thoughts on Cameron. What I would give to have him, black and Daw in the forward 50.

Like the swans mids.

If we finish low enough and get lmac second round, would we punt on dayle garlett first up

 

[Johndory]

Is it possible to trade away our first round pick in the draft for a player and then use the second rounder to acquire silver?

Nope.

Probably not. Still think he will go in the twenties or thirties because of his attitude problems.

If Lmac goes 2nd round I want Dunstan, Sheed or Crouch

Howe many games have you seen them play? Show me the youtube clip?

Crouch I've seen play a couple, both underage and top age.

Sheed 1. Underage game last year vic metro vs WA


And I haven't seen Dunstan play personally, but like what I've read and seen in clips.

All tough strong bodied mids that can play both inside and outside. Basically all I want is players like that from the draft. That all good or....?

To be fair RF08 isn't a shit talker so I'm hoping he has a decent basis for the comment.

Fair enough


I just cringe at the way that drafting is usually subjected to a supercoach mentality.

"Ooooooh we have to get X, y or z or I will take to my eyeballs with a potato peeler"

People that usually make these over the top statements have seen little more than a you tube clip.

Talent identification is a science that requires a keen experienced eye.

So what are your thoughts on Honeychurch based on?

 

[Snake_Baker]

So what are your thoughts on Honeychurch based on?

He looks as though he cracks in hard. Nothing more.

 

[Wooly23]

If we do can take mcdonald with our second pick, who should we take with our first pick?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

There would potentially be a lot of options.

James Aish, Luke Dunstan, Dom Sheed, Matt Crouch, Lewis Taylor, Dwayne Wilson, Jack Billings, Marcus Bontempelli to name a few. This draft bats very deep for quality mids.

here's an article on Jay Kennedy Harris (he mentions how he is good friends with the McDonald family and he has a soft spot for NM).

Also a reminder about the Under 18 champs games that will be on fox footy tomorrow.

12:30 Vic Country v Western Australia
2:30 Vic Metro v South Australia

Semi-BFNAAK and a tertiary student to boot.

Meets all criteria, get him in.

Not to mention he fills a serious void across half forward. Was very impressed with his goal sense in the first cup game.

 

[Groucho]

I like a lot

Oh he can play?

Well that's a bonus.

 

[Bigeasy]

Dom Speed will be a top 5 pick. Watching him against Vic Country and he has all the tools. Quick, tall, tough and a great boot on him.

 

[RoundDonut]

Semi-BFNAAK and a tertiary student to boot.

Meets all criteria, get him in.

He is an *Essendon supporter though. I'm 100% sure.
