[Zgope1]

Can someone tell me the CHB's who have done an ACL this year? I found something out today ....

Sam Skinner, good prospect imo. What've ya heard Pann?

Welcome to the club.... Sam Skinner!!!

Just that one of the guys we were looking at (and I assume one of the interviewees) had done his knee, and that if he was still at our pick, his upside would mean we would probably get him. But as you know, I literally know none of the kids so I'm not much help. That's why I'm leaning on those who know.

 

[Pannalstaroz]

Sounds about right

and that if he was still at our pick

Which of our picks?

I do like the sound of Skinner - that's a good article about him

Not sure, I guess any of them?!? I don't know where he is supposed to go? Others would know more.

Would love to get Sam Skinner.....

No one noticed the sneaky post on him

This is good news, I've been into him as a high risk high reward prospect for a while. 20/21 would be too high but I'd be happy with him at 30 if the club think his injuries won't be an issue. 51 would be a steal.

His ACL injury will make him slide, but in a shallow draft (that's been mentioned two or eleven hundred times) his upside will probably put him in the 30-50 range anyway. After a bit of research, I came up with this sort of wish list of the 4 players we will draft that I feel will be available or be taken around those picks. As we have 2 in a row I picked 4 players in order, aiming for 50% here as I don't think all 4 would be taken.

1&2- Riley Bonner, Ben McKay, Ryan Clarke, Darcy Tucker
3 - Marcus Adams/Sam Skinner/KPD pick here
4 - Gach Nyuon (would love to get him as late as that pick will be, although Essendon or GWS need a ruck just as much so could take him)

Rookie picks that would be handy would be another ruck (Goetz?) & Surman (man-child KPD but will probably be taken in the main draft)

Do you mean Ryan Clarke?

Do you mean Ryan Clarke?

Yes, yes I did

This one? To subtle for big footy
I wouldn't be surprised if we were looking at him with one of our first. Especially if we don't think Ben McKay will be there.

Sam Skinner is a relentless key position player with leadership qualities & can actually use the ball effectively

I'd be worried a side like Fremantle picks him up (but they could do with a more ready made KPP)

if we get Ben McKay, Sam Skinner, Marcus Adams at our first three picks & possibly Nyuon at the rookie draft, that should be plenty of tall depth

Dalrymple can take any type of player he wants after that ..(I know, I know. Be careful what you wish for)

Greedy little tall hoarder thou art

 

[Yojimbo]

Sam (Seymour) Skinner dibs on the potential nickname, i look
forward to yelling it out when he does good or bad things that
is if we get him. With his ACL i would have rather gone two of
Marcus Adams, Mitch Brown or Michael Hartley as they would
have a more immediate impact with Tom Keough as the forth
tall mature option to cover our range of picks, mix that up with
a couple of mid/flankers who will be available at our four picks
and every ones a winner. What ever will be will be though.

 

[Sharkey66]

Is Skinner over his ACL or is he still rehabbing

Every time he makes a mistake on the field...

Returned to running a month ago, I thought he tested at the combine but apparently not. May have been invited though, just wasn't ready. In light of that I can't see him being taken at 30 unless we are really into him, may be an option in the 4th round.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Pannalstaroz did you get the feeling that the strategy is to get one of 3-4 KPDs "of interest" and then go genuine best available elsewhere? Or the priority is tall players throughout the draft?

 

[goodcop badcop]

Skinner did his ACL around June, he's probably still another 6 months away before he's right to play.

Hardly surprising we are after him. His Character would rate highly and football smarts seems to be a requirement which he has. Not to mention he has good athleticism, can win the ball in a contested situation and has good upside.

Is also quite versatile; play him there from day one and you could have a decent forward/ruck from what I saw last year. Definitely ticks a lot of boxes.

 

[doggies ftw]

Would love to grab all of Ben Mckay, Adams and Skinner. One ready to go, two with a really high upside. Develop two in defense and the other at CHF.

 

[Mofra]

Would love Hardwick as Dickson replacement still, has that nose for goals and ability to mark and shake tackles. Great small forward skill set.

If we are really set in replacing like for like - there's this kid called Toby McLean that goes very very well.

Given the number of mid/forwards on our list I suspect we only take one if he's a genuine gun / best available at pick 20/21. Expecting a weighting towards needs for 30 & 51

Yeah that's my preference too. One thing in common between all three is versatility. All have played both back and forward and can be genuine swingmen.

I don't know, I just know that we interviewed mainly "gorilla" CHB's last week. I can't see why we would go 2/3/4 of them in a thin draft, but that's just my view. He's always been a best available guy though.

 

[Mofra]

Skinner and McKay seems years away from regular football, which is to be expected.
Both Skinner & McKay seem to be able to pinch hit in the ruck which ticks the "versatility" box for us too.

Grabbing a mature aged ruck/defender late wouldn't put us off taking a developing type, especially a late birthday kid like McKay
