List Mgmt. 2015 AFL Draft - what type of players should we be looking at & who do we take? (Poll added)

[AB_Blue]

Is Plowman contracted?

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Is Plowman contracted?

Dont think so

 

[andrew_]

Aaron Francis has serious talent, we can pretty much lock in Weitering but geez Francis looks like a superstar, plays like Nat Fyfe but is key position size. If we get compo for Kruez or a priority pick, his name needs to be called out by SOS.

 

[AB_Blue]

Dont think so

*walks Plowman to the PSD*

 

[HBF]

Sorry i meant is this is jack's draft year

You don't english very well.

 

[ferrisb]

.

I see your point

Good, for a period there I thought you'd missed it.

I'm really glad you didn't post

:

I do definitely not need to see your colon!

 

[Omega Blue]

yeah thats probably more realistic.

what would we rather out of:

ben lennon (pick 12 2013 draft)

or

pick 12 (richmonds 1st) in this draft?

I would rather lennon i had huge raps on him in his draft year.

 

[Juddalenko]

Good, for a period there I thought you'd missed it.

Geez...pulled out all the stops for that joke.

 

[gandaal]

I was going to make up a list of players that I wanted from this draft and I really struggled after the first four. This draft is really full of players with big question marks. Either they are outside mids who can't get their own ball, lazy footballers who don't run both ways, or poor decision makers with iffy disposal. Not a good draft to have plenty of picks.

That said at least having Weitering means that we improve our list significantly when compare to someone with pick 5 or above.

 

[Gambelic]

lazy footballers who don't run both ways, or poor decision makers with iffy disposal.

Reminds me of our senior team, they should fir right in.

 

[Tuss]

At least sos has made a start by delisting the likes of Watson and Johnson

 

[BluesRule]

Plowman has more currency than pick 21 and 50 alone. He is a former pick 3 and would've played more games in 2015 had he not dislocated his elbow during preseason. A 190cm rebounding/intercepting defender who makes smart decisions with ball in hand would attract the interest of many clubs.

I think #21 is fair as he has not shown a lot,

Has limited AFL games and was injured most of 2015. Hope he could come good in a new environment but given the choice I would definitely take pick #3 in the draft before Plowman so he has depreciated in value IMO.

#21 may be at low end of range of his current value but would get GWS an upgrade through their academy selections this year - so everybody would win.

 

[PumpyChowdown]

I'm really cooling on Schache. Charlie Curnow looks like a much safer and versatile prospect. At the moment, my top 3 on Draft day would be:

1. Weitering
2. Curnow
3. Francis

Hopefully we can get a pick high enough to jag one of Francis or Curnow to go along with Weitering.

Thats my exact top 3 as well

 

[HalAlaric]

Dream for me would be to nab:

Weitering (definite pick up)
Francis
Curnow
Weideman

Don't know how we could achieve this but wouldn't that be epic!!!

I reckon Weideman will be picked up by Collingwood by their 1st pick. Very highly rated before his injury and the grandson of former pies champion Murray.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Really hope we don't go after Lamb. Must be a good reason why he has struggled to get a game at two clubs.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Not that it means a terrible lot but Jon Anderson on his morning 3AW sports report said about Weitering 'Carlton have got themselves an absolute beauty there' (para-phrasing).

 

[HARKER]

The more hype around Weitering (warranted hype), the better.

 

[Coona Blues]

Really hope we don't go after Lamb. Must be a good reason why he has struggled to get a game at two clubs.

Lamb is a decent player and has been behind some good ones looking for opportunity, however the
trade table should only be for key position players, mids, or maybe a ruck.
(Edit: unless seeking suitable value for an outgoing Yarran-Lennon like)

We have a list full of solid (or better) peripheral players who can be developed to fill outside roles.
No doubt we need an X factor small forward type, which perhaps cannot be created, that is not Lamb.
If we have enough low first or high second round picks after the trade period, the likes of Milera, Ah Chee,
or Gresham (more mid) surely must be considered. If not, a Kerbatieh or similar in the bottom end of
the draft is worth a speculative punt, and has more long term appeal.

Weideman would be great. Need the cats 1st rd pick to make it happen though. He put on a show against the northern blues before he was injured

Collingwoods 1st pick we'll be used for treloar

If we get cats first pick it will be used on weideman. We all get hyped by shache dont forget we havent seen weideman play at all and is the top key forward in this Draft

 

[Matty411]

Like the look of Weideman but can't find much footage of him playing at all. Talk that he could end up being the best KPF out of this draft class.

Anyone got anything to peruse?

If we can pickup 3 x first rounders somehow and take them to the draft, picking up a KPD, KPF and mid = brilliant.

My only issue would be Weitering and Weideman... bloody surnames are so similar it'll get confusing - maybe it could play into our favour though

Pick number 1, Carlton.

Weideman.

Wait.

Shit.

We need to give our players a chance and develop them rather then just trade them away like we have in the past (ie. Sam Jacobs) we need to make sure to hold onto Menzel and not trade him away and rather develop him into that small to mid forward size role as he could be damaging. The same goes for clem smith. He has the potential to be a dangerous small forward for us in the future as he has attack on the footy and can find the goals.
