List Mgmt. 2013 DRAFT

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Even if McCarthy doesn't go before our pick, if we want a midfielder we will take midfielder. McCarthy going before our pick just means we should get someone who was touted as top 10. There'll still be good mids even if he doesn't go. I know he's not the most trustworthy but Brett Anderson thinks we're pretty keen on Dunstan and Quayle thinks we like Freeman if he's there.

Where are you hearing about Brett Anderson and Emma Quayle?

link?

I still think we should take McCarthy if he's there at Pick #13, but ultimately I wouldn't be unhappy with either of McCarthy, Freeman, Acres ... (I suppose I could live with either of Bontempelli/Dunstan also).

 

[Salaryman]

He's an awkward height (192 cms), he isn't overly quick and he's pretty soft.


.... aside from that all that though, he seems ok.

he's also a 'baby' with a November birthdate, growing into his body and on an upward curve with respect to his inside work.

Excuse me Sir, but just how many games have you actually seen him play?

I'm not bragging or anything ... BUT .... I've happened to have watched all 3 minutes of his highlights package on AFL.com AND I watched a Youtube video of a TAC kicking session with him

A few pre-seasons may change all of that though - and he could become a monster on-baller though which is kind of tempting.

that's a tough assessment C4, he screams HBF if that's the case.
How is he athletically?

 

[Azul]

Get Bontempelli! We haven't had a decent left-footed Italian since archie deluca.

 

[Omega Blue]

he's already Italian on his mums side

 

[redkettle]

Please not another sandgroper!!!!(tongue in cheek)

I've been talking to them on twitter and reading tweets they have sent to other Carlton supporters.

 

[RR#9]

He is too. I forgot.

Must have been all the pronounced Croatian features that threw me off.

Actually Irish on his mums side

 

[Aphrodite]

Really? Where is the Italian from then?

He is related to Alessio. There was some Italian in the mix somewhere........pretty sure.

Spot on Harks.

Watson's mother is Alessio's sister.

 

[Aphrodite]

His mum is Italian and the sister of Steve Alessio.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Along with Carlton, they didn't chase White and Gumbleton in trade week...

Do you actually believe that other clubs will go for Thorp and pass on kids ahead of the picks I mentioned?

Unlikely.

And it's Thorp.

That's not true... White had a medical at Carlton.

 

[etsal1]

That's not true... White had a medical at Carlton.

Any update on the Gibbs contract talks you mentioned a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Bradschi]

That's not true... White had a medical at Carlton.

Is there just anything on the kids, which one we're keen to call out as our first selection?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

You guys want a dedicated Thorp wishlist/slagging off thread? Let's just leave this one to draft discussion not pointscoring for a spell huh?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The latter. We're off the Thorp point scoring for now, as per the above post.

 

[etsal1]

Just this once I'm hoping the Herald Sun are on the money.

Too good to be true with Bontempelli? His versatility would be fantastic.

Some thought Menz was too good to be true last year.

Even if Bontempelli doesn't get through to 13, we're bound to land a good one. Just need McCarthy to go top 10 and we're set.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Bontempelli seems like a higher risk option than the other mids to me.

Weren't there some recruiters that didn't rate him at all?

When you're being touted as the next Pendlebury, I don't think he wouldn't be rated. He's even got the basketball background - which he says led to him carrying the footy with one hand.

 

[Omega Blue]

I've changed my mind..... again.... I want Blake Acres, only so we can call him BlAcres

but I wouldn't be too upset with Watts output if he was taken at pick 13

Touche


Champion data have him ranked 18th in this years draft according to Herald Sun

18. MARCUS BONTEMPELLI
Consistency the big issue. Struggled for Vic Metro but dominated some TAC Cup games onball. His size and skill allow him to play as a midfielder or forward.
WE SAY: Finds time like Scott Pendlebury, but Pies going cold. One for Mick.
