List Mgmt. 2015 DRAFT discussion - Clayton Oliver #4, Sam Weideman #10, Mitch King #42, Liam Hulett #46

Say GWS end up with 10? Id offer that for Carlisle the defender no problem at all ( ignoring the suspension possibilty )

I guess. You'd prefer Hurley but he wouldn't be available. For a high pick you'd want someone who's going to turn up every week, but if you get some of these guys away from Essendon, they'll probably play twice as well.

Looking through lists of defenders, maybe GWS should've tried a bit harder with Frawley. Rance is about the only other mid 20s KPD who had a contract running down... not a whole lot else around.

Carlisle is a better player in defence and hes consistent, near impossible to get Key defenders to move clubs
Harder than getting Key Forwards

Theres always Schoenmakers.......

Would not touch a single player with drug question marks over their heads - would be a stupid decision to give up a first or second round pick for someone under risk of suspension.

Even if I knew for certain that Dyson Heppel was going to be suspended for 12 months, I would part with pick 4 or 5 straight away.

Not worth it, what about 24 months?

Health repercussions are still unknown too.

 

[master bate]

They should be. Experienced key back and versatile defender are what I reckon they should be chasing. Have the mids, forwards and ruckman, they need a more stable backline. Other than that, hang on to and get games into their kids. Rest will sort itself out.

They've got Phil Davis and Patfull. As well as Haynes out injured. With developing first round picks Corr and Marchbank in the side as well as 3rd tall types in Plowman and Buntine. I don't think they'd be worried.

GWS will use any trades to get more draft currency to keep their academy kids. They'll keep adding high level kids for years to come if they can find them.

Not sure of the value of giving away players you've drafted and put time into so you can use lots of those picks to get more players to put time into. They've picked up players with limited shelf life recently, they need a few more experienced players to help them climb the ladder.

I'd probably still do it with 24 months - this isn't a particularly strong draft.

I'm not concerned about the health effects. I'd be seriously shocked if they had to finish footy early for some reason.

There have been peptides found to cause cancer and serious health problems.

Would be very reluctant to recruit anyone when most substances they've used are unknown and the ones we know havent been cleared for human use.

Using a good pick in a weak draft is less risky than that IMO.

He could also turn into a tentacled 12 foot tall mutant freak - would be a monster at clearances. Worth the risk.

Watching TAC superstars today there phantom draft top 20, Plough saying Melbourne are right into Darcy Parish.

 

[rhaz]

I saw that phantom draft (with the sound off) and Brisbane had picks 1, 13 and 18, are they assuming they'll get priority picks or something?

 

[Theo X]

Maybe includes their academy players under the new system

I think it is where the kids are rated and assumes Brisbane ect trade for the picks they need

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Us having pick one two or three is now a reality, how sad. FML

They are saying that they think other clubs will bid on those kids, which under the new rules, will mean they are given those picks to take those players if they want to.

In return they lose later picks and potentially picks in the next draft as well.

Wait for the result of the next two weeks before you go too early on that.

We all know it, but yesterday just showed how much we need some class in the middle. Our contested work has improved a hell of a lot, but our delivery inside 50 is still really poor, and we still make dumb decisions sometimes.

Wouldn't mind drafting someone who can use the ball well and is composed, I don't care if they are softer than Cale Morton, we have enough guys who can win the ball to feed it to them (I'd kill for a 21 year old Aaron Davey).

Darcy Parish is looking increasingly like our man.

Darcy Parish is looking increasingly like our man.

What type of player is he?

 

[Blackas87]

What type of player is he?

Classy midfielder, tougher than Cale Morton though.

 

[Demon 16]

Darcy Parish is looking increasingly like our man.

Outside runner with good foot skills.

Will tackle and uses the ball well.

On the small side and will take a few preseasons to get himself ready for AFL footy.
