List Mgmt. 2016 AFL Draft

[Keys]

So the final draft order is out now that clubs have lodged their lists with the delisted FA period closed

We go into the draft with picks 12,34,54,89,94 available to use

Should we use all 5 as I believe we should then there will only be 2 rookie spots to fill, one of which we have promised to McInnes

 

[dajesmac]

If we are picking that late i could see us grabbing a mature ager.

If we are picking that late i could see us grabbing a mature ager.

Ideally there's no bid on waterman before 54 so we can use on of those two late picks on him

The other one perhaps for a mature ager or we hold it over to use on Petrie in the PSD should our brains be sufficiently fried

One of the better BF mock drafts is snoopdog - worth a look

He has McInnes being taken by North in the rookie draft - could be good as I do not see value in keeping him. Though we may go Petrie if he is taken but Cameron might avoid that problem!!!

Snoop has us taking the following:

Main Draft
Shai Bolton
William Drew
Jake Waterman (matching a bid)
Darcy Cameron
Reece Piper - small fast defender

Only 7 days to go.

 

[06Premiers]

Does this just about sum up our changes?

Main List:
Ellis (12)
Cavka (34)
Brown (54)
McG (89)
Bennell (Mitchell)
McInness (Vardy)

Rookie List:
Colledge (committed to McInness)
Lucas (Rookie 2)
Waterman (Rookie 3)*
Adamson (Cat B rookie)

*We have the option of using Pick 94 in the main draft, 3rd round rookie draft, or PSD (Petrie Special Draft).

 

[squashface]

If we effectively went IN: Petrie, OUT: McInnes, I wouldn't be too mad.

 

[Monocle]

If we effectively went IN: Petrie, OUT: McInnes, I wouldn't be too mad.

That's called a nil all draw.

It's going to suck watching SPP tearing it up for another team.

What are some previous examples of where this board has been so keen for someone who has been regarded as a huge reach by the afl media and other experts?

BF WCE Board draft "rage"
2007: Masten Vs Palmer Vs Morton Vs Myers
2008: Naitanui Vs Rich, and playing to get Swift!
2009: Lucas Vs Jetta
2010: Why the flip didn't we tank to get a PP (Swallow / Bennell), then Gaff Vs Heppell Vs Polec
2011: What do we have to trade to get PP for JOM! How can we get Conniglio?! TBH don't recall much of that year, probably because of the ridiculous number of picks GWS got.
2012: We really should try get a PP for Martin / Hogan... Why DF did we trade a 1st for Wellingham?!?!?!... meh
2013: KErrazzy Vozzo!! WATF kind of trade was that!?! Sheed Vs Acres! Acres rulesz!... wait, we could have had Aish/Scharenberg and Lewis Taylor?!? arrggghhh!!
2014: Ahern? Weller? Lever? ZOMGGG!! Cockatooooo!!!! Woweee, Laverde! wait.. Duggan? As in vanilla?
2015: *sigh* traded first pick again... save Callum Sinclair!! / yay Jetta!


So now you're caught up to this year.

 

[06Premiers]

If we effectively went IN: Petrie, OUT: McInnes, I wouldn't be too mad.

We've committed to taking Frase as a rookie (if available).

If anything it'd be IN: Petrie, OUT: Colledge/Lucas/Brown.
Probably a win there too.

Not a huge fan of Drew, I think his strengths may struggle to transfer to pro level. Would have preferred bid on Callum Brown, or gong for Fisher or Parfitt - problem woudl be the similarities to Bolton to an extent. Otherwise Bailey Morrish, or Atley as a better version of Drew...

I note with interest that he has Essendon taking Bailey banfield with pick 1 of the rookie draft

I was talking more about a senior list spot if we don't take Petrie in the rookie draft, which would be ridiculous given we're already committed to McInnes.

 

[swooshacummings]

Berry looks juicy. He's ripe for the picking. If only we could get PepperBerry... That would be sweet (and spicy!)

Juniperberry?

 

[06Premiers]

Using any picks on DP is ridiculous imo.

 

[Chris_6678]

North are picking up our spud for their spud sort of deal? I would rather keep Mcinnes than Petrie.

 

[kerr87]

Would love Berry.

Would compliment our under 25 midfielders nicely.

Sheed Duggan Berry Yeo Gaff

So now you're caught up to this year.

Haha good summary. My personal thoughts from each year.

2007: Masten Vs Palmer Vs Morton Vs Myers

Take Morton. Whoops.

2008: Naitanui Vs Rich, and playing to get Swift!

Nicnat and Swifty. Then we won the draft. But I cursed Jordan Jones over Walters.

2009: Lucas Vs Jetta

I wanted Butcher.

2010: Why the flip didn't we tank to get a PP (Swallow / Bennell), then Gaff Vs Heppell Vs Polec

I wanted Polec. And Lycett with 26. Was so pumped on draft day.

2011: What do we have to trade to get PP for JOM! How can we get Conniglio?! TBH don't recall much of that year, probably because of the ridiculous number of picks GWS got.

That year was shit from memory. Think Port short changed us for Ebert.

2012: We really should try get a PP for Martin / Hogan... Why DF did we trade a 1st for Wellingham?!?!?!... meh

Another shit year, but don't think there were many/any good players apart from Grundy taken after pick 17.

2013: KErrazzy Vozzo!! WATF kind of trade was that!?! Sheed Vs Acres! Acres rulesz!... wait, we could have had Aish/Scharenberg and Lewis Taylor?!? arrggghhh!!

I was mad with Yeo for 31 instead of 28.

And didn't understand why we used our priority pick. But it got us Barrass.

2014: Ahern? Weller? Lever? ZOMGGG!! Cockatooooo!!!! Woweee, Laverde! wait.. Duggan? As in vanilla?


I wanted cockatoo. Happy with duggs. Wanted blakely though.

2015: *sigh* traded first pick again... save Callum Sinclair!! / yay Jetta!

Pretty happy considering the picks we had.

 

[Suma Magic]

Just pick him dammit.

 

[Doc #25]

My 2 cents.

Given his qualities, I do understand the SPP love, but he has deficiencies and this is a very strong draft. Reality check guys, he is not worth our first pick. I am confident the club won't take him at 12, and I would be disappointed if we did. Just because he likes the "don't argue" doesn't make him another Dustin Martin. At the same age, Martin had already proved himself an elite kick and high production player. He was miles ahead of where SPP is at the same age...

The talk of Brodie sliding is bemusing. Clearly top 5 on performance, so maybe there is something else going on there... if he lasted till our pick it would be a gift from the gods. If we passed on him, it would be the definition of insanity (unless, as I say, there is something else going on...).

Unless one of SPS, Taranto or Brodie were to somehow slide (all unlikely), I am vouching for Berry. He is tough, quick, versatile, good overhead, good user, good tank and is a leader. If he is available, he would be a great get at 12, and is the sort of player I see the club picking.

At the risk of being overly bias to the nth ballarat boys, I would also love to see us nab Drew at our second (unless there was an obvious slider like SPP). We need ball winners.

Cue the universal condemnation for my (realistic) SPP comments...

So now you're caught up to this year.

07- I desperately wanted Cotchin sulked the rest of the draft cause we didn't get him.
08- defs naita didn't like rich for some reason seems I was justified
09- curse the last 5 games would of got dusty and probably Fyfe if we didn't win 4 . Jetta was my first choice closely followed by butcher
10- wanted darling even at pick 4. Was meh on gaff absolutely stocked with the end result
11- nil interest vaguely recall wanting McInnes for chb
12- bleh year really didn't want to trade a first rounder
13- sheed baby all the way,
14- cockatoo and laverde were my picks, warmed to Duggan later really really wanted medanue or Blakey as 2nd rounder.
15- freo stole tucker partington was good and have no idea why we passed on balic Cole was decent but

Then this less than half an hour later



The WCE Twitter handler has a hardon/wet panties for the shaker too it seems

No way we use all the picks. May even pass on 2 picks.

I love him but good to see all opinions.
