List Mgmt. 2018 Draft Watch - Depth Chart In OP

[Tiger_Of_Old]

He will be better off if the army recruit him !!

Hed get paid more playing footy!!

He'll dodge a bullet if he doesn't get picked up by Carltoon.

This could be the most open year for our first pick. Last year was a little bit similar. I remember we were linked with Brander and maybe Oscar Allen.
This year it looks like McHenry? I hope not, but wouldn't believe anything until it happens.

From the little i have seen of Phantoms this yr Stocker is the one most think we'll take.

 

[Shazza_]

I know right.
Imagine we lost our ruck and 2 of our forwards.
Our season will be ******. We have no depth.









I was being sarcastic.
I dare say most clubs will have that issue. Lose any 2 guns from your side and you will struggle.

everyone except pie have injuries

Have all the posters freaking out at who we might take at our first pick stop to think of what we should get if RFC firmly believe they will get Hopper next year?

Id still target a mids tbh. Maybe a slider at our 2nd and best available talent with our first.

Then Hill might be the one.

O’Halloran just seems such a Richmond pick. Apparently has awesome leadership traits which we value highly. Great skills. Really warming to him myself

Seems to tick all boxes apart from possessions which seem to be a bit light on for a mid.

They do. 19 isn’t quite enough, but guys being touted top 10 are only going 22-23 touches. That saying “would rather 20 of player Y than 30 of player X”. Also our game style isn’t built on huge possession counts

IMO it makes no difference, Hopper is next yrs Doozy & we gotta Draft this yrs Doozy's this yr

 

[Cotchy9]

Stocker is the Dream result but looks as if he’ll be gone. Most are suggesting top 15. Would love for us to try and somehow move up 4-5 places to get him

I heard we were getting Brad Crouch and Scully this off season, but we didn't. So I'd prefer we draft as required, because nothing is ever a given when reading players in the future.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

What nickname could we give Butters?
We already have a Butters in Dan Butler

I cant believe its not butters ????

Valente looks a good get. Rated 10th by CD and the 4th highest ranked South Australian
https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/spor...s/news-story/03a637dbda36c1e22c2fe2ff59257a7c

4. LUKE VALENTE

Norwood, midfielder, 18, 186cm, 80kg.

Captained SA to the AFL under-18s championship and is a high-volume player who is a composed ball-user in tight scenarios. He won 43 per cent of his possessions in a contested manner at the nationals but this didn’t impact his efficiency, recording an elite kicking efficiency (84 per cent). He rated elite for disposals (22.8), clearances (5.5) and score involvements (5.3) and above average for tackles (5). Named vice-captain of the All-Australian under-18 team and voted SA’s MVP.

Interesting article by Knightmare regarding inside mids potentially sliding in the draft.

http://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/25200247/afl-draft-key-trends-recent-drafts

"The belief within the industry is that clubs will continue paying a premium for speed, seeking speedy players and showing a growing hesitation to play or recruit slower ball-winners with the view that the rules in the AFL are shifting towards a more open style of play with fewer stoppages."

Also very interesting that CD has Ely Smith @ 21.

May not be much of a reach at all to consider him with our first pick.

 

[Stylo]

RCD at #30 is a surprise. Slider?

 

[guruisatiger]

Dusty is top 5 in the comp for centre clearances isn't he?

2nd in the competition

 

[Grockadoc]

Stotch.

Or Leopold.

Good reading on the changing nature of footy..

 

[_RT_]

I like Bytel, but I like Smith better.

Both would be good

 

[Madtiger2006]

Hopefully Collier Dawkins falls to our 2nd pick and we get him and Stocker.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Hard to get air time and media space leading up to and during the Melbourne cup carnival. I’m sure it will ramp up next week and you’ll get your draft hit.

They have their own media department. They have plenty of footage.

O’Halloran or Stocker with our 1st

Valente or Stack with our 2nd

 

[THE_GUN]

Hopefully Collier Dawkins falls to our 2nd pick and we get him and Stocker.

Both players most likely gone before our 1st pick which is looking like around #20/#21 at this stage
