Annual time honoured draft prediction thread

[year of the cat]

Ok, it’s time again to post the names of every player that won’t be drafted by Wells. Predict the Cars draft - including trades if you think there’s a likelihood of it occurring.
As per usual closest to the pin wins sfa other than the admiration of their fellow posters.

Rules - 10 points for the correct player in the correct position; 5 points for a player named in the wrong position.

For me - Geelong trade with Ess - FF + 57 for picks 28 + 31

28 - Kayle Gerreyn
31 - Angus Clarke
45 - Clancy Dennis
74 - Xavier Ivisic

 

[BORIS332]

45 - Adam Knight from Marion in Div 5 reserves in the Adelaide Footy League
57 - Jack Stewart from AFL Max Sunday night indoor mixed footy comp
74 - Trent Wilson from the local Summer amateur Gaelic footy comp
84 - Craig Noble the square leg umpire from Geelong amateur cricket comp

I actually like this typo… considering the history of Geelong its a little bit like Motor City … the Geelong Cars is not bad..

Good to see someone taking it seriously

ESPN predicts:

Round 2​

28. TRADE: Geelong - Luke Trainor
Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
DEF, 194cm

Trade: Richmond trades pick 24 for Geelong's future first-round pick

The Cats are one of a handful of clubs maintaining interest in Trainor despite concussion issues. He's been medically cleared for a career in the AFL and has alleviated club concerns in the past few weeks. Trainor's talent as an interceptor is undeniable; he reads the ball superbly, has a springy leap and kickstarts transition with smooth skills. Trainor is one of a handful of prospects the Cats are looking to trade in for.

Excellent prospect. His concussion history is of some concern though.

You would hope we could do better than pick 28 for our future 1st.

I'd want at least 27 + 28 for F1 + 40 (our first pick will come in a long way after bids) to consider this. Then we get an extra crack at a late 20s pick.

I'd be happy enough with Trainor. I'd prefer we take the risk on a high upside guy like him than be safe. We're great at developing role players with later picks so we're better off going risky types who could be guns.

 

[STPer18]

If he has a profile picture we don't want him!

 

[petrolium]

I have no idea who we’ll get, but I have an inkling that we will trade our F1 to grab Jonty Faull. I think GWS will trade out one of their R1s this year.

 

[strauchnyy]

Prediction that we will trade our future first for bombers 28 + 31.

Then I expect us to take Dodson and Jaques with these selections.

If this happens I’ll be melting hard and getting the pitch fork out as the last thing we need is a third developing ruck in the list making Edwards or Conway redundant wasted selections and also I’m sick of the falcon blind fold… Jaques to me doesn’t look draftable, very pedestrian.

I then think with our later picks will go for a couple mature agers in Davidson and Voss or Hoare.

What I want:
Trade a future second for a pick in the late 30s

Late 30s pick: one of Oliver/Trainor
45: Gerryn
57: Davidson
74: Stumpf

 

[Turbocat]

ESPN say Trainor? Man its aces wild this year …

1st pick …. bid on Logan Smith

I think take Davidson , Jacques if they are there at our picks ...then just for a dice roll …cause we normally pull a name from somewhere ….Lucca Grego and Oliver Warburton …. Perhaps they look at Will Hoare or WAFl/SANFL player like Oscar Adams late or do they wait till Rookie draft for a tall?

 

[Turbocat]

Excellent prospect. His concussion history is of some concern though.

Is that the kid who is related to Doug Wade?..

That’s correct.

 

[BORIS332]

Good to see someone taking it seriously

Okay, my real guess:

1st pick - Angus Clarke - the ever-reliable Glenelg/Mt Gambier combo, same as Brad Close.
2nd pick - Isiah Winder - we like mature age recruits.
3rd pick - Tate Delmenico - sounds like a Sacred Heart boy.
4th pick - Sam Toner - the draft guide I read said he's a "genuine smokey", so that sounds like us.

I also thought James Bell was elite for Glenelg this year. He's only 25.

 

[Tony Barber]

I haven't looked at any players at all.
But I'll just stick to what I think we should do.

KPD. (reason, we need one. and they are the most possible slider)
Intercept defender.
1/2 back flanker / Mid.
Project mobile tall forward.

Hey! We used to get a free 12 month BF sub for winning this.
I know because I won it by picking kolo.

 

[Footy Smarts]

KPD. (reason, we need one. and they are the most possible slider)

Do you mean KPF? A key defender is about the last position we need. Nobody's moving on from the team from the prelim and SDK and O'Sullivan were both sitting in the stands.

Why do we need a KPD unless we think COS will not make it? We need a big bodied inside mid and a KPF.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Just gonna take a blanket approach tonight as we don't know if we are staying put or trading futures.
Here's a few that i wouldn't be surprised Wells fell for throughout the year.

Ned Bowman.
Luke Urquhart.
Another Ollie in Warburton.
Harrison Ramm.
Will Rantall.
Mitch Kirkwood-Scott.
Nat Sulzberger

Longshot... Isiah WINDER.

Either way i think we shall do well whoever dons the hoops.

Shyte!! oops just realised it's only the first rounders... BUGGER!!

I think SDK is moving to the ruck.
Blicavs is about done. Stewart 2-3 years maybe? Kolo the same?

They take time. Even SDK didn't look good until year 3.

If Clancy Dennis was available late I'd be taking him for some of the reasons you have listed.

 

[Tony Barber]

When we drafted Kolo here was our backline.

Mackie 28yrs
Taylor 26yrs
Lonergan 28yrs
Rivers 28yrs

 

[BORIS332]

KPF is our biggest need, though that depends whether you consider Blicavs/J.Henry/Kolo to be KPDs or not.

 

[year of the cat]

With 4 picks we can potentially address a few list needs.

ESPN say Trainor? Man its aces wild this year …

I reckon Davidson will go before our picks. I wouldn't mind taking him though. Potential one up over Richmond. They consolidated all their late picks for Brisbane's first. Would be great if they swung and missed at that pick and we just swooped in and took their VFL star with our late pick.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

I have no idea who we’ll get, but I have an inkling that we will trade our F1 to grab Jonty Faull. I think GWS will trade out one of their R1s this year.

Hope so.
