2019 Draft

Bishop's 2016 Draft Thread

Hi all, I'm back once again for another big year of following the 2016 draft talent. You can find my 2015 effort here. I’ll be updating this thread throughout the year all the way up to the draft. I’m happy to answer/explain/justify any questions/queries about anything to do with the draft...

Jordan Gallucci was his pick at #29

I don’t think Galluci makes it. He’s a David Mackay clone, and the original is a god awful player to begin with. IMO the worst 200 gamer in the sports history.

Tassie coach warned hawthorn that he though jack was the better player.

those concerned with the lack of KPF'S being drafted last few years i think when jack hangs em up, most likely end of 2021, we'll probably bring in an
established key & put em on decent coin.... steal one from a club with an over supply and use the over supply of mids we currently seem to posses to trade

We have Caddy and Dusty who will be moving out of the midfield around that time frame.

Chol gave us more as a forward than Elton and Griffiths did. CCJ can apparently play up there as well. Some options to play second fiddle to Lynch.

Plus another 3 years worth of drafts picks and 3 free agency and trade periods.

I think there is time to try a few things.

His reasoning was quite funny, Pies got an A because a couple of kids he rated highly slid to their picks, while Richmond got a C because we reached for players he didn't rate highly, and he effectively rubbished all 3 of Cumberland Martyn & Ralphsmith. Credit to him though, he has got ESPN bosses fooled and they are paying him to produce content

It's all black n White to him.

Sorta makes up for the Buddy miss.

Sorta makes up for the Buddy miss.

And I would bet that Clarkson had the final say on who to pick too...

 

[richoatthedisco]

Dusty would of been lost to the game by now if he had started his career with Mark Neeld as his coach.

You are severely underestimating Dusty's drive and determination. He wouldn't have been lost to the game, he would have been lost to Melbourne. Would have taken the Giants cash.

Townsend’s career over?

 

[bungalow_bill]

Brisbane doesn't rate their own kids. Solid message to send.

We do just not at that price. You'll notice we moved heaven and earth to match bombers bid on Coleman

Should be picked up by Essendon on Tuesday

Funny you should say that
Workmates son works in the footy industry at tac junior level.
Hawks told Cyril in his draft year as he wanted to go to the Hawks was just to tell clubs.
"I luv too play football but hate training"
How many clubs we're put off by that who knows.

I'd rather retire

 

[Mr Magic]

Yes. It's going to be a contest between Chol, CCJ and Biggy as reserve ruck.
Soldo has cemented his position.

Lol, why limit Biggy to the ruck??

Blinded by his height and leap??

 

[Mr Magic]

Everything i have read or heard about CCJ is that he loves it at Richmond and in melbourne and apart from coming from SA there is no reason why he would be looking to go back , There is a reason why GC are looking to add more South australian boys and thats because most dont want to head back.

Would love to know where you get this info from

CCJ will not be competing with Biggy in the ruck, they play totally differently and if anything will complement each other.

We will have to look at developing Biggy in the Buddy Franklin, Richo role on half forward flank and wing and there is no way CCJ can do that and probably not Chol either!!

All the players we selected are suited to our game plan ,something Matt Clarke said in his pre draft interview with the club .

if we have worked out if we still have a list spot

We don't have one.

Interesting how Knightmare said we reached for Dow but then didn't priase the selection of Ralphsmith who slipped quite a way to our pick.

Who is Knightmare? Another keyboard wannabe?

If he half an eye for talent he would have had Dow top 12 in this draft

I'm not going to bag anyone who puts their aggots on the line and has a crack.
Just seemed weird to me because Ralphsmith definitely a slider.

I find Knightmare to be wrong more times than right, but I do recall him saying Ralphsmith was very ordinary before the draft, so he probably didn’t consider him a “slider”.

but still have the pies an A despite them trading away #51 and missing out on Riccardi

 

[tugga]

but still have the pies an A despite them trading away #51 and missing out on Riccardi

and trading away next year's 2nd rounder that's linked to the Saints.
I think the pies did well in the draft by the way.
