Mega Thread 2014 Drafts complete

[Praetorian]

From memory someone mentioned that lever was seen to have potential to play through the midfield despite being a KPD, and was rated ~#1 this time last year by Melbourne, maybe I'm misremembering though

would be interested to see if we "reach" for him at 3 if Petracca goes at 1

 

[Dez!]

I still think Melbourne's mind set for the draft is Petracca > McCartin > Brayshaw and we take the two available.

Roos really liked Brayshaw, he'll select him before McCartin.

Brayshaw isn't going number 1 so it doesn't matter whether he is 2 or 3, he'll be a Dee next year

Can someone explain the difference between mccartin and wright?

 

[Topkent]

Mccartin is like jack darling
Wright is more like joe Daniher but a lot stronger

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

If we rate Lever highly I say go for it at #3. From his highlights he looks like he's got some freakish ability, and certainly a lot of upside. Quite a few people say that he's got the potential to play through the midfield, and he's got similar physical dimensions to Bontempelli, Fyfe, Mundy, etc.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

FWIW Peter Ryan from afl.com.au reckons the Saints will take McCartin at #1.

If Wright is a ruck/forward is there any reasoning in setting up for Gawn as #1 with Wright as backup but mostly knocking crunts out of the way inside 50 along with Hogan/Dawes?

Means about as much as when I dropped John Butcher down to 11 in my 2009 phantom draft and hoped BF posters would see it as a pleasant coincidence.

AW were suggesting that if we take a tall it'll be 2 metre Peter, McCartin too similar to Hogan

McCartin is more a Full Forward while Hogan is a CHF... so not sure that's a good reason from AW.

I ****ing hope not. Anyway McCartin and Hogan are really nothing alike. McCartin isn't good for too much more than leading out of the goal square (which he does extremely well) and taking pack marks and roaming around up forward, whereas Hogan can play up the ground and deliver into the 50. FF and CHF.

Are you suggesting that we should pull the lever on Lever?

I like the sound of Lever, someone over on 'land mentioned that he almost represented Australia in boxing at the 2012 Olympics, and captained Vic Metro last year.

Incorrect.

Maybe he can teach Jack Watts a thing or two. Although if boxing guru Jordie Gysberts couldn't...

What, boxing at the Olympics as a 16 year old? Saws.

careful what you wish for

Nick enjoys streaking, so it's a win-win.

Is Lever a midfielder or KPP? 192/4cm seems way too big for a mid, even these days

These days you never know. Watson (190cm), Fyfe (190cm), Mundy (192cm), and not the quality but Roos is trying to turn Watts into a mid at 196cm. A lot of tall mids coming through these days.

SAMs height as Mundy, Fyfe and Bont.

Who are massive commodities. We Definitely need that type of player. Just need to be sure that Lever can perform and develop.
