List Mgmt. 2014 Draft + DFA Talk Part II

[TigerTime88]

Arguably Weller doesn't have the marking power, reach and speed though. Weller may not have the same inside game either

We are screaming for an outside mid with speed and skill. Leave the inside drafting to the second round.

 

[tigs2010]

The Roar Is Back doesn't rate Howe at all

 

[Tiger Claw]

From what little I've read this morning seems mixed opinion on Howe.

Marks, tackles, good at ground level, cool head, good by hand. Was forward then back can be seen as a future mid are comments in common.

 

[THE_GUN]

If we do take Howe, Will probably only be as a Rookie selection i think

 

[living_in_syd]

Afl website has possibility of Duggan going earlier than our pick

 

[Robbo92]

Then surely that means Weller is there and we take him? Makes our decision a lot easier if one of those two are off the table judging by the train of thought in this thread.

You know IMO we are not screaming for an outside mid. Dusty, Lids and Ellis can all play the role very well as right footers!

Why leave inside drafting to the second round and why take directives from you?

Can't see any standout inside mids likely available at our second round pick honestly!

Not a fan of Neal-Bullen, Gore or Miller?

3rd in line if there both gone?

Gore is a gem. Neal-Bullen isn't bad and Miller I quite like.

 

[Mr Magic]

Not a fan of Neal-Bullen, Gore or Miller?

Don't mind the look of Howe that where interested in apparently according to one media report.

 

[Mr Magic]

What's Weller's left foot like? Anyone?

I was thinking if we get him might look at developing his role as a rover supporting Miles and Foley and I would also like to see him developing a small forward role. He can still play outside at times but I would like him in the guts improving his impact there.


If we get Weller can't see a need to get a small forward particularly when we have Edwards and others! Unless Mclean somehow is there for our 3rd pick. I don't think the other small forwards have shown enough to interest me.

 

[Bobsleder]

Watching the footage of Duggan, has a bit of Malceski about his kicking - get the ball in his hands and let his left boot do the rest.

Weller's close to the best kick in the draft and dual sided to boot. He and Duggan are pretty neck and neck in that regard IMO.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

So will be happy with either. Real question will be if there do we pass on Wright

 

[Juke]

I'd like to see us try and get Ahern if both Duggan and Weller are gone. Read on the website that we've put "the hard work" into Corey Ellis though.

 

[Mr Magic]

Weller's close tobest kick in the draft and dual sided to boot. He and Duggan are pretty neck and neck in that regard IMO.

I looked at his highlights and could not see a left foot kick thats all. It is important he is dual sided when he comes out of the middle but also if we rest him in a forward pocket for a left footer.

I am not sure Weller needs to put on too much weight. As a poster said it may affect his speed. If slightness becomes a bit of an issue he might just have to toughen up. Still he is not that slight anyway. If he plays along side the likes of Vlastuin it won't matter!

Pretty sure he is skilled off both feet, he said in an interview he practice both feet heaps in the backyard. I agree its important that he his skilled on both sides.

I don't think Wright will be there. My suspicion is he ends up at GWS along with Goddard and Pickett, which would be a great haul for them. But you never know. Could see it unfolding like:

1. Petracca
2. Brayshaw
3. McCartin
4. Pickett
5. Laverde
6. Wright
7. Goddard
8. Lever
9. Moore
10. De Goey
11. Duggan/Weller
12. Duggan/Weller

Yeah GWS would be silly to pass him up. Look what they got for Boyd. Hold Wright for a year or two and if hes not a star for them he will net a few more when trading him elsewhere

Add Durdin to that list as well

I think you could add Durdin at 11 and 12 for consideration. Personally id have him as best available.

 

[Tiger68]

Add Durdin to that list as well

Beat me to it. You'd think Geelong would take Durdin missing out on Frawley to Hawthorn and Goddard to GWS.

If Gold Coast are as keen on Duggan as Cal T suggests then Lever slides further. We might end up with a premium defender ? Bloody good move I reckon, especially with Rance a FA
