List Mgmt. 2016 Draft - It was on last Friday.

[JR82]

we have 37 on the senior list, 3 rookie. 4 spots.

it's 5 = 3 snr list & 2 rookie spots
we may/may not use them all but it's whats available to us.

A young kid who needs another preseason to develop the body so he
can compete with men better, but already has the skills/decision making....you can say 'ready to go next season (ie Menadue).
A player like Townsend who has been bullocking his way in packs with men already for a few seasons, hacking the ball forward and generally running to wrong places on the field, I'm not sure where your confidence for suddenly 'ready to go' comes from.
But he's playing for 12 more months at least and Jackson/Tuck made me finally concede they had a role, so I'll watch with interest and hope he has a preseason where all his football 'dumbness' disappears.

by "ready to go" i mean that he is physically ready to play AFL footy without being pushed out of contests too easily.
i agree with the rest but would play him on a wet day to add some grunt as Tuck did. wet weather will suit him.

Is there absolutely any chance that SPP falls to 27?

 

[JR82]

Just my uninformed opinion, but from next weeks draft if we can land the following I'll be happy.

27. Dylan Clarke 186cm 84kg Inside Midfielder

56. Elliot Himmelberg 18 year old 196cm 84kg KPD

78. Mitch McCarthy 19 year old 196cm 87kg KPF

Not the most exciting draft from a fans perspective but one that I believe would hold us in good stead list wise.

Now I know some will say why bother getting KPPs this year when next year is the draft for that. However, in my uninformed opinion there is some value to be had in the KPP ranks especially with a strong midfield pool there is a chance some of the good talls slide down as others look to stock up on mids. Further to that we currently have 4 KPF, 3 KPD and 4 rucks which is less than ideal. Adding a KPF & KPD gives us that extra bit of cover just in case injury hits, which given it's us it will happen.

Finally, based on what Balme was saying about the coaching restructure it would appear that the plan is that both sides will play the same structure and the players will be given the same roles in both sides so that when they come into the senior side they know what is expected. Over the last few years the structures in the 2 sides has been different, with a draft that delivers something along the lines of what I've suggested we could start playing the same structure in both sides which allows players coming up from the VFL to know exactly what is expected from them.

i am one of those "no KPF's this yr". KPD i am happy with.
interesting point on the structures of both sides etc, the VFL for mine played the better/faster style & ended the year winning thier last 6. it helps that Miles etc played some of those games etc but the gameplan was better than what the snr's had been dishing up all yr.
given our tall depth up fwd it looks as tho we'll be playing an extra mid up fwd as opposed to a 3rd tall which i like.

OK...lets revisit in Oct 17 and we'll see how his stats stack up. I'm got several sets of fingers crossed. Tucky had a few more strings to his bow.

Actually we have 36 players signed up, and we can take 4 live from the draft players to make it forty or 3 and have 39 players. Short is in that 36 player list.

fwiw has Drew at 27 who would fit needs for an inside mid

if we take 3 more senior players we only have room for one rookie. 4 spots. How can we not use them all? You have to have 44 players on your list. If you're going by the RFC website, they haven't added Nankervis on the senior list. 4 spots.

Based on your chart I would say our greatest need is outside mids, we may have a few but none are quality,
Menadue is developing, Macintosh is average but can run and us similar to Grigg and Ellis, the otters are grinders.
Cotchin I would place as outside and edwards as a small forward.

Yep missed that, thanks.

There needs to be a hybrid category or at least place players in both areas.

Yep see above. That's means 3 live picks on draft day for 40 or 2 live picks for 39 and 1 extra rookie.

Hey guys, sorry for the intrusion. I was wondering how many selections you guys have to make on Friday night, based on list spots, etc. I'm doing a phantom draft and need this info.

For example North has to make 4 selections because we have 4 primary list spots open. Appreciate the help!

we have 3 snr spots left which would take us to 40 & currently have 4 rookies.

37 players on senior list, 3 Cat A rookies and 1 Cat B rookie
Can pick either 3 players in the National draft and 1 in the Rookie Draft or 2 players in the National Draft or 2 in the Rookie Draft.

No to Scharenberg at 27?

Looks just average

We just recruited Prestia and Caddy, inside mid isn't the top need right now.

have to agree to disagree there Juss, inside mids still a major priority imo.

 

[weekesy]

Joe Atley - his highlights on the RFC looked really good. Good hands, decent kick, pace out of contest and a nice step.

When guys like Martin Cotchin Caddy and Prestia are resting forwards they play as outside types. When they are on the ball I'd have them as the inside ball winners feeding it out to the runners mentioned.

Such a strange feeling..first year in a while I have no idea who I want or who we will get. Our draft position is shocking.
We should create a top 5 list of who everyone wants
From what I have seen.

MY TOP 5:
Sam Powell-Pepper
Jordan Ridley
Shai Bolton
Scheer
Some tall, Himmelberg?
