Opinion 2014 Draft ( Live discussion ) Mod notice post #6629

[The Old Dark Navy's]

So Knightmare has us taking Lamb at 19 and McKenzie at 28. Just can't see that after getting Jaksch and Jones in trades. Especially perplexed when he has Garlett at 20, then rates Garlett a high level difference maker and Lamb a capable contributor. We desperately need that outside pace, run and carry.

Very interesting seeing these phantom drafts as they are updated with the new order. Has Ahern at 7 incidentally, and has Laverde to the Pies at 5. Does that make people feel any better about our trade if that happens?

You can't reach too far into possibilities and have to assess in the now.
Getting Jaksch and Whiley into the club the way we did whilst still keeping ourselves in the first round was a win.
If Petracca somehow falls to #7, it may be worthy of revisiting.

We'll get ourselves a good player at #19 along with #28.
If they make best 22 then great and if not, it will mean our best 22 is good enough anyway.

Interesting though is Paiges draft also has us taking Keitel at 28 before a small forward with our next. Are there any young rucks we could rookie?

Why would we want to rookie a young ruck who will need 3-4 years to develop, we have knockers, Wood and Kruezar am happy with that.

Every chance we will. Warnock isn't contracted after next year and we do have to build up.

 

[Cringle]

Reckon we might opt for a KPD at Pick 19 or 28? Would be a good time to find a replacement for Jamison.

I must admit I would be stoked with those picks. Mainly because I don't rate Jones or Watson and at best can only see Casboult being a handy third tall/resting ruck. Also Lamb runs like a midfielder so I could see him playing on a wing noworries and could create mismatches when he pushes forward

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I know what I'd like. Another classy midfielder and a small/medium forward who kicks goals. I'll leave it to the recruiters to find those players for me.

Saints rumoured to take McKenzie at 21 hence why taking Petracca with number 1. I hope do get McKenzie at 19 as I'm not sold of Liam Jones maybe I'm being harsh

Ud think Jaksch replacement for Jamison plus have Giles recovering too

Forgotten man @ CFC.

Forgotten man @ CFC.

No need to rush him either like Kreuzer, Backline will be steady in few years hoping draft day get McKenzie at 19 and decent speedy mid at 28

Still think we need a KPF, Jones just an interim solution

 

[thylacine60]

You get to NB games much g94?

A_McKay.... currently on strike over on the main board.

Jaksch2Yarran now

 

[bmaurizio]

Any one of Ellis, Garlett or Cockatto for 19 and maybe Ed Langdon or Dear for 28.
Speed and silky class play makers with good vision and ability and one tall with plenty to offer.
Go Blues

 

[AB_Blue]

Lamb was talked up as a possible top 7 pick earlier this season. Doesn't he have "Bont" like attributes? (Height, frame, midfield ability)

Don't all the good players have massive chips on there shoulders?

Couple of Phantom drafts have us as taking Lamb with pick 19. Would anyone be happy with that?

Not if Corey Ellis is still there.

 

[BlackGoanna]

Fan of Corey at #19 if Duggan, Weller, Ahern do not slip. Outside speed at 28

How many of our picks are we likely to use on ND with rookie upgrades, psd for Tutt, etc

It's still a little tricky until we know the outcome of the 4 boys that are still uncontracted.
We're saying 4 selections in the ND and one in the PSD

If we move off any more than 2 of Robinson, Ellard, Lucas and McLean, we'll have to upgrade rookies and pick up the rest of the numbers in the RD.

That's why it seems to me that someone will survive and it could well be Lucas.

Robinson and McLean are gone.
Ellard and Lucas will be retained.

Lucas can't believe his luck.

Can only hope he lends himself 100% to the fitness guys and the coaches.
He's a much better player than what we've seen in recent years. It's hard to convince people though for that to be the case.

Wonder how long before someone starts up a "Should we retain McLean" thread?

 

[etsal1]

Not me.

I don't think we'll pick him if he's there. Doesn't fit Rogers' policy.

I won't pretend to know the kids but it was quite obvious even for the few games I saw just how much love the likes of Moore and Miller had.
Even Lever carried an aura about him and he didn't even play..........

You have to wonder though we would reach for McKenzie now, given our plans for Boyd have gone.
