List Mgmt. 2017 Trade/Draft/FA SuperMegaUltra Thread - Post Trade-Period Edition

Not tall, not big and is more a small forward rather than a mid. Was the 12th ranked non kp player selected.

Instead we picked the highest ranked ko foward in the draft.

Why do midfielders need to be big and tall though? Plenty of smaller mids around who play in the middle and do well. I think he'll end up a midfielder who rotates through the forward line (like many midfielders not named Matt) and kicks the odd bag of goals. My belief is that he'll be a very good AFL player.
I've said about 10 times that I understand why we picked Brander, I just disagree with the strategy and would have picked Higgins. I'm sure there were people within our own recruiting team who had different opinions on who we should have picked throughout the draft.

Whats the word on lycett?

Is he tracking for 2018?

You'd hope so given our lack of backup rucks. I think we were banking on picking up Jones as a rookie.

You bought it up

I slapped it down

If you dont want to be called on bullshit go post on biggobshite

I didn't buy anything up.

Go rekindle the endless pointless debate on the Priddis thread.

Buddy - YOU STARTED IT.

If you dont post bullshit.

Ill find it easy not to correct you


You clearly stated that the only reason priddis was being run off defensively was that he was cooked last year.

You are rewriting history.

Dont post shiite and you wont get called.

Dont deflect - just man up and say - yeah well i stretched the truth and i got called - fair enough ill put my hand up.

Pffft, had we tried to hide him, we would have talked to sumich to zip it.

How do we “hide” a player anyway?

Get you to talk him up

Getting Allen at 21 illustrates why we were happy to trade out next years first round for GCs second.

If (big if) both clubs finish around the same spot we get pick 21 and give up 13. Given we were expected by many to take Allen at 13 this year, it shows there potentially can be little difference between the picks.

Regarding the draft itself I really wanted Kelly but other than that I’m happy.

We’ve got guys who will be pushing for selection next year. Liam Ryan has huge potential. Look at the impact Anthony Tippa has had at Essendon. Or remember when Freo selected Ballantine (another large goal kicker at WAFL level) as an early pick. Both came in and impacted early in their career.

Brander is quality, men of his size and agility who can kick and have footy smarts are absolute gold.

No need to stress about our midfield issues we do have this bloke coming back to cover the cracks again

I've just spent the last half hour watching Nic Nat video's because of you.

Here is a short one I liked.

Yes key position wise we are okay so....we can load up on midfielders next season in a supposedly super draft which is good but there is more we picked up three mids this draft plus a few in tomorrows rookie draft , all up not too bad a situation .

 

[WCErevival]

With talk of Ryan & Rioli being small forward do we think they'll be used as that or midfielders occasionally in the 50. If the former does that mean we continue to use Cripps & Lecras continue to be used as they have been i.e. midfielders?

Maybe Ryan gets used more up the ground but I suspect Rioli wouldn't.

I think one of Lecras or Cripps will have to give way. Really should be Lecras as his age means he probably only has this year left.

If lecras was a horse hed have been taken down the back paddock with a shotty a year ago

The reaction from Chris and his band of salty men on the Freo thread is pretty funny.

Chris loves jumping on knightmares draft page and having a dig!

If he did a scotty cummings after the footy you would roll with

And the meek shall inherit the girth.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

And what if Kennedy goes down again next year like he did this year. Petrie has now gone and Jack is not a FF so we need some backup. In the event we are unlucky to have this happen again, whether Brander will be AFL ready will be the question of course. I know there is also Waterman but is he more a CHF or 3rd forward? Anyway let's hope it doesn't happen then we won't have to worry for the time being!

Waterman is a more potent forward than McInnes all together.

Haha yep - classic tall poppy syndrome.

 

[Double the Fist]

Also says he's played most of career as a key forward until this year where his coaches wanted to see what he could do down back too. Likens himself to Nick Reiwoldt (like Allen) and has boarded since Year 10 so sees no issues with moving to Perth!

I like!

Mcinnis probably rucks along side Vardy now that giles and jones are no longer there.
