I do like Parish, but like Paul Roos said at last years draft theses kids have only played against each other it is a big step up to AFL, I think the last couple years we have targeted bigger body players and ones who they think can develop into the best players at AFL level. So saying that I'm now longer having an opinion on who we should draft and just welcome whoever we draft and support and get behind them and hope they help us become a successful team again.

Parish doesn't seem to have an issue playing at his size in the u18s. However Oliver should step up to AFL level earlier. I'm happy which ever way we go if we get one of them.
I'm thinking Curnow the better prospect out of him Weideman however again would be happy with either.

 

[Headless]

I know nothing about the draft but I want Curnow and Francis.

 

[Blackas87]

Just some basic stats comparing Wines, Brayshaw and Oliver from the TAC cup in their respective draft years. Cant find anything like clearances or contested Possies.

Wines: 14 kicks, 11.4 Handballs, 25.4 Disposals, 4.5 Marks, 7.5 Tackles, 1.2 Goals.

Brayshaw: 16.3 kicks, 7 Handballs, 23.3 Disposals, 5.3 Marks, 6 Tackles, 1.5 Goals.

Oliver: 10.1 Kicks, 14.1 Handballs, 24.1 Disposals, 4.5 Marks, 5.9 Tackles. 1.3 Goals

I'll Add Parish in too

Parish 13.8 Kicks, 14 Handballs, 27.8 Disposals, 3.5 Marks, 3.4 Tackles, 0.6 Goals

Also im really confused when people question whether we should get someone like Oliver because hes an inside player
Would Geelong take 2 Selwoods, Hawks 2 Hodges? Swans 2 Kennedys? Us 2 Brayshaws?

Of course

 

[Supermercado]

Parish is no Toumpas, he has a good inside game, Toump's is non existant.

Also won't be rushed into the team in a (we hope) dysfunctional environment.

Of course

Oliver is none of those players though. At this stage he's no better a chance to make it than Parish is.

 

[markm106]

Oliver ave 14 contested possessions and Parish 15 this year in TAC. Not sure on others.

Cal Twomey has done his Phantom Draft

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-11-22/callum-twomeys-2015-phantom-draft

Has us taking Oliver and Weideman. I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't mind either. However, both would be an underwhelming result IMO.

 

[dee_mac]

I'll be happy with two of parish, curnow and francis. Not sold on weiderman at all

Edit: And Oliver - because everyone else is on board

 

[DeesFan]

I would be happy with two mids as I don't think we are desperate for a second forward at the moment .. we have a few .. I think we need to look at a ruckman may be pick 49 or rookie draft .. we only have two (not sure if we can use White as a key ruckman if we had a couple of injuries).

Tend to agree. Hope we take Curnow over Weideman. Also not sure on Olive or Parish. Toss of a coin it seems.

 

[Andy_Mac]

I don't know what it is, but every time I think of Oliver I think Brock McLean...

 

[Demon 16]

It's that missing chin..

 

[Theo X]

I think McKenzie, Bate and Blease. Not sure why though.

 

[PizzaChief]

Jeez it'd be a bit of an ask if they threw mitchell white in the ruck.. 188cm, 88kgs rebounding defender.. Yeah whatever, give him a crack..

 

[markm106]

Apparently we are keen on Kieran Lovell with our 3rd pick if he makes it there. Little bloke but racks then up.

 

[Wizardy]

Didn't know anything about Oliver until recently, but would be happy if we picked him at 4 considering the alternatives. Like the fact he has good speed and excellent agility in addition to height & power. Love inside mids that attack the contest who can then go forward and hit the scoreboard. Seems to have a heap of scope for improvement, and clearly winning the contested ball is still an issue that needs to be addressed in our midfield.

No idea who we go for at 7. Hope we avoid Curnow and Parish though.

 

[Howezzat]

Good to hear that we are into Kieran Lovell with our later picks (down the bottom of the article). Managed to watch a couple of games of Tas in the National champs and the kid dominated, had massive numbers. Only knock is that he is short at 174cm. Similarish to Viney in height and frame, he's quick and agile, not sure that he plays with the same aggression though. He's been a bit of a smokey for me since I watched the mid year champs but haven't really followed his form since...

 

[stabler]

Stoked with Oliver at pick 3

 

[Theo X]

Would love to get Lovell, but doubt he'll last to our 3rd pick.

 

[PizzaChief]

Anyone seen this alex aurrichio guy play live..? Looks like a big unit that loves to smash blokes.. Cant see us going for him but hopefully someone who can afford to put some time into him give him a go

 

[Theseventhhamster]

That guy is awesome, cult hero for sure.

 

[Headless]

Tend to agree. Hope we take Curnow over Weideman. Also not sure on Olive or Parish. Toss of a coin it seems.

Parish would certainly be salty if we selected Olive instead.
