List Mgmt. All Trades and Draft Part 2- Draft edition

I’d love Garcia at 46

There will only ever be one great #46... Valintino Rossi... The Doctor

 

[WCErevival]

Will it?

Why?

I dont have much faith in undersized mids. The fact he has done an ACL doesnt make him that appealing either.

 

[avishka5]

Isn't Garcia the undersized inside mid? It will be Partington all over again.

Parto was 181cm (boots 183cm). hardly undersized

 

[avishka5]

Tim Kelly at 25 is 182cm 81kgs BTW.

 

[Godfather32]

Parto was 181cm (boots 183cm). hardly undersized

I think Parto suffered more from not being that good as opposed to being undersized.

Yep.

Garcia is skilled, Partington wasn’t.

Do they normally take their boots off before getting measured?

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Garcia is skilled, Partington wasn’t.

I don't recall Partington being a shock selection when we drafted him with the pick we used, is this year's draft so much better than Partington's year that someone tipped to go in the 40s (?) is better than Partington in the 20s(?)?

Or are we just making stuff up?

No one on here had talked partington up prior to the draft or expressed interest in us getting him.seemed like a bit of a meh pick at the time

Think it’s the injury that makes people think Garcia will slide

I strongly believe Garcia would go around where Parto did had he not hurt his knee; perhaps earlier. And I’d say Parto was proven a bit of a reach.

 

[Obeanie1]

Garcia is skilled, Partington wasn’t.

And is a hard nut. Hence the comparison to Kerr.

In the U18 game against the Vics he took it right up to and held more than his own against the two mids who are now touted as going 1 and 2.

So I can definitely see us seriously consider him if he is there at our first pick.

Recovering from an ACL = sliding 10 to 20 places from where he would likely go if not injured.

It’s a thing to bag Partington once Simmo decided Parto wasn’t a player that deserved a few AFL games to develop his craft ..

Partington was seen as a wise selection at the time. He was a balanced midfielder and had performed at the SANFL level in his draft year which is a pretty good indication they will make it. I think Parto was unlucky to be out of contract at the end of 2017 and so was probably a mixture of wrong place wrong time and our midfield development at East Perth was pretty poor.

 

[Suma Magic]

Who are the 5-10 players that we might potentially take? Or that this board wants us to take? I realise it’s almost impossible to guess but I though some direction would be helpful before I begin reading up on the draft.

Cheers.

I don't think questioning Parto's skills is 'bagging' him. Merely an observation.

It'll be interesting to see if he gets a second chance this year. Good luck to him if he does.

Partington was definitely unlucky.

As much as we bemoan our midfield depth, which is fair, we tend to forget that we had a strong first string midfield through 2018 (Partingtons final year). Shuey, Yeo, Gaff, Redden, Masten, Hutchings and Sheed were all in front of him - that’s a tough group to break into and when all 7 were available one of sheed or Hutchings sometimes missed out

Factor in that our first choice midfield dodged injury pretty much through 2018 (and 2019) and there weren’t many opportunities for anyone else to break into the side. It took Gaffs brain fart for Sheed to get back into the side

In fact, in 2018 the only other midfielder to get games was Ainsworth with 3 and my hazy recollection was that he was something of a surprise selection ahead of Partington. The games Partington got in 2017 he was played out of position as a half forward, a strategy that was ditched (successfully) in 2018 as we played forwards as forwards and mids as mids

Had he remained on our list in 2019 he still would have struggled to get a game simply because openings were again few and far between

Won’t surprise me at all if another club picks him up and he carves out a respectable career. Good luck to him

Players with a clean off field record with the ability to evolve into half backs ranked 35 and higher!

Ruscoe would be a steal, Cassar, Taylor, Garcia, Rantall would be great, Pasini with our last pick in the main draft if we miss Ruscoe.

The ultimate would be two of Ruscoe, Taylor, Garcia or Rantall. I like the sound of Philps.

If we have a rookie pick I wonder if it's worth using it on a Sydney midseason draft reject https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-2...irst-is-about-to-become-a-major-talking-point

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Our luck with with mids taken late, has to change soon. Surely.

"We are due"

 

[KERRPOW]

So geelong, melbourne and sydney are keen on bennel.

Imagine if he manages to play a decent amount of games without injury.

That would speak volumes about freos medical department.
