2016 Draft Thread - The Rebuild Begins

[meima]

So boring need to wait so long to see who freo pick .

 

[Righteo]

Out of curiosity who do you rate higher SPS or SPP, I've heard SPS is a long way of playing afl

Check out the poll. Is SPP even forecast to go in the first round?

SPS could play next year and has a lot more upside then SPP

If the poster was serious they don't even footy.

SPP is a big bodied plodder with a God awful kick and terrible decision-making. Really hoping your mob pick him up.

Bit harsh on the young bloke I reckon. IMO he will do pretty well in the AFL. He is pretty fleet of foot and can kick 60m.

SPS played league last year.

The afl players finished at the same time, just the Peel players

The collective agreement requires the last contact day after the last club game, effectively the point at which the season ends for a player and they go on holiday, to be the Tuesday after the last match.

That didn't happen after our last AFL match, but it did after the last WAFL. So I believe that there was either an agreement in place at the start of the season that the team reasonably expected to be playing finals so holidays would start later (allowing players to book them) or the affiliate team still being active meant the last contact day applied to when that side (with their 18 AFL players) finished.

I'd be going Griffin Logue at pick 7. If not available, then Tim English or SPS.

 

[PurpleWizard]

I want him on our half back line!

 

[Dockernut]

I want him on our half back line!

Cheers for that.

 

[Lach72]

That's impressive.

Cameron_K and I were very impressed with him in the game for WA against the allies. Wouldn't be upset if we grabbed him

Beast!

 

[scon]

Rowing coach appointed!!
Griffin come on down!!

 

[DMan 11]

I've been all for Logue ever since McGrath became untouchable for us.
Would not be upset if we reached for him at 7.
If not us then Someone is going to get a quality buy with this kid

 

[PurpleWizard]

Beast!

What I like about Logue is his upside. Someone like SPS has spent the last three years in AIS programs and such and he still seems a little raw. I love that he has elite endurance and he could be anything. A Rampe with better ball use? an Isaac Smith that can win his own ball and mark?

I'm on the Logue train and hopefully more than 13 jump on board.

 

[scon]

I thought he was a standout in terms of grunt,skills,brains,decision making,running patterns,usage efficiency in the allies game.
Actually thought he looked best fit for us.
Enjoys a bit of physicality too!
We traded down to seven got a few good looking youngsters in AND likely to have half a dozen potential 200 game champs to choose from at our pick.
Can't be half empty cannit??

 

[free at last]

Any one know what Logue's dads name is?

 

[Lach72]

Mr Logue

 

[free at last]

Mr Logue

Is it Mr Michael Logue?

 

[mightymouse75]

Logue train. Hoot hoot. Seriously over the afl dragging the trade/draft season out for so long. It's rediculous

 

[matt_bas]

SPS played league last year.

And? He played 3 compared to SPP's 5. You guys are joking if you think he's hands down a better player.

 

[Cayman Docker]

I need to change my vote now!

 

[freoextra]

And? He played 3 compared to SPP's 5. You guys are joking if you think he's hands down a better player.

But you see it's not just us, its all the AFL experts who have SPS going at 1-7 in the draft. I think SPP is tipped to go somewhere early second round. But you tell us why they are all wrong???

 

[PurpleWizard]

And? He played 3 compared to SPP's 5. You guys are joking if you think he's hands down a better player.

SPS didn't play any this year because of a hamstring injury.

He played 3 in 2015 to SPP's 0.

Most phantom drafts have SPS much earlier than SPP. You can't really judge until after 50 odd games, but SPS looks the better prospect. That said, SPP could be dusty like (or Suban like).
