List Mgmt. 2016 Draft Prospects(Poll Added)

[doggies ftw]

who do you want at 18?

Hoping for a slider or a tall but to be honest I don't know much about the draft class haha so if we went with Ryan at 18 I'd 100% back in the club. Just feel we have bigger needs.

I'd prefer to take at 26 with 18 used for someone else but know that other clubs are keen particularly Sydney

Unfortunately Alex Villis has found out that he's got a heart condition that'll probably prevent him from playing competitive sport, poor bugger.

Damn.
It's not Supraventricular tachycardia is it? Eagleton had a version of tachycardia and was able to play after an ablation, I've got a similar condition yet I gym 4 times a week, ride to and from work, played football for years etc. I guess elite level sport is significantly different but most conditions can be managed.

Apparently Hannan will be looked at for a rookie spot with Romero still open for that spot.

So English at 18 if he's there and Ryan at 26?

If English isn't there at 18, Ryan at 18 and next best at 26?

Oh, they will adjust them late and at least get the top ten right.
Beats me why they just don't wait for the inside goss and then
do it then.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy apparently, the same thing that Marc-Vivien Foe and a few other athletes who died while playing had.

Eek, that's terrible.
It's also a secondary symptom of some heart conditions so just bring diagnosed isn't the end point but it certainly makes things hard.
From my limited understanding, he'd have to wear a heart rate monitor and keep his rate under a certain level to avoid further hypertrophy of the walls.
Basically it's incompatible with anything except light non-impact exercise so forget professional sport, pretty much most amateur sport beyond bowls and chess would be out of the question.

Poor kid.

I would prefer if we went for Simpkin at 18, mainly because one of our biggest issues was we would bomb it inside 50 and expect our forwards to be miracle workers and make something out of nothing

With Simpkin, he is a renowned half-forward with good kicking, lowers the eyes and great goal nous. Before his injury, he was expected to push into the midfield, where he likely would have dominated and his stocks rise further

You only have to see with his first (and only) game this year where he took the opposition straight to the cleaners that he is a huge talent, and would suit us perfectly

Its not often a projected top 10 pick at the start of the year is available at pick 18, and assuming we go with best available, I can't see us looking past him (assuming no obvious sliders such as Logue are around 18)

With 26, Rotham for me would be an obvious choice. He is the modern defender that could be the successor of the Boyd position down back. If Ryan was available there as well, I would be weighing up whether we look for immediate impact in Ryan, or long term future in Rotham. If by some miracle Battle is still available, I cant see Dal let him slip past 26

With 50, Long would be a great pick up. Not only a great small forward, but has the ability to play a small defender as well. That versatility will hold him in good steed with Bevo and the team. If we didn't go with Rotham at 26, Ridley would also be a viable option as well to fill that half back role

With 75, the only thing I can see that comes across as somewhat obvious would be Hannan, but even then we may look at him as a rookie. Maybe Romero, but again he looks more of a rookie than anything.

I'm in no way an expert on the draft, but from all the sources and all the phantoms and various draft profiles I have read, I feel that those would be our ideal pick ups come November

prefer Marshall at 18 since i reckon English goes to Freo

Glad to hear Hannan is a chance, liked him a lot this year. Takes a good grab and is a dead eye shot for goal. Problem is that he is that in between type in size, not really a midfield option either. But the kid can play. He'd be a good Tory Dickson replacement in a couple of years perhaps. I think the kid Long will be hard to pass up too.

I have not seen Romero play have you?

Bigfooty Phantom will be this Monday.

I have seen him play the three games.
Looked a bit lost but most 23rd players do when not triaining with the team, his positioning around the ball/drop of ball is good.
He is a outside midfielder/small forward when playing for his school (which i haven't seen)

Will be funny on draft night if we use 75 we can hopefully take who the hawks want with their first haha

Anyone in particular you're hoping to land at 18?

I hope that is the case, let all of the good players slide to us. Options, options, options

Have a few players in mind but if someone drops through I'll be more than happy tp take the slider.

Can we have a Wizard17 predicts the pick thread in during the draft? It would be far more entertaining than our normal draft thread.

I thought Dannn made it pretty interesting when he did it and showed some of our boards over reactions, I still like our reactions to getting Stringer
