Didnt we delist 10 this year, and have only brought in 3?

Tthat leaves 7 doesnt it?

2 of the 10 were Category B (Korchek and Sheehan). So while we can replace them, they don't count towards our list of 44

 

[Malifice]

Two international rookies.

Thats been bugging me for like 20 minutes. Forgot Korcheck and Sheehan were filling those spots.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Still 3 uncontracted players. Plenty of room for further changes.

 

[Lace_Out]

They can piss BB off too.

Bolts?

 

[LanceRomance]

Jimmy Bartel threw out a big hint.

About?

 

[Neadsy83]

Still 3 uncontracted players. Plenty of room for further changes.

So the three in limbo are White, Graham and Boekhurst. Surely White would be first to go?

 

[Lace_Out]

Bolts?

As KB would say on guessen.. Don't be stupid!

He doesn't look too happy.

This is more interesting when I pretend you're talking about the Highlander franchise...

The Adelaide hills arent that high.

 

[Red Bull]

Eagles traded in 21, 26 and 37.

I reckon they did this to nab some local lads - including Tim Kelly.

Sadly I doubt he'll get to us.

They'd probably know of our interest in Kelly with our pick 30 so snaffle him with pick 26 .

Kevin Borich?

 

[Robbo's my hero]

About?

Playing again.

 

[Funk]

To be fair, they had an absolute horror run of injuries, and were cooked well before the finals began. That's not to say it will definitely happen for them, as many said prior to this year, and they'll miss Mumford, but I don't think we should judge their future chances on this season.

They were too tall this year - they may miss Mumford less than we think

Lobb and Patton FF/Ruck and Cameron as mobile forward.

 

[Blue Flame]

Can we get young MacLeod before they list him as a rookie? Pretty please? His dad was all class, and if there's a chance...

 

[ForYouBlue]

Just seen marchy at pennyblack.. easy to forget these heroes are just kids kickin it

 

[TerryWallet]

Kevin Borich?

Surely White is gone.

Defense is where we have our most depth. He really is not required at all. Rather get a young kid onto the list to see if we can find a diamond in the rough later in the draft.

White is simply cover for injuries, So our depth does not fall off a cliff.

2. CAMERON RAYNER

Half-forward/midfielder, 187cm, 88kg, Western Jets/Vic Metro

Buckenara says: The powerful midfielder/half-forward reminds me of watching a young Dustin Martin. Rayner ticks a lot of boxes — he’s a long and penetrating kick on both feet, has a leap to take grabs in the air, is dangerous in attack, quick off the mark and at U18 level he is strong at stoppages. He showed all of those traits and more through the national carnival, having a brilliant few weeks for Vic Metro and his dominant five-goal haul against South Australia in Round 4 showcased his ability inside 50, while his 23-disposal and six-clearance effort against WA highlighted his midfield capacity. There’s a lot to like about Rayner and I am sure as he gets used to playing against the bigger and stronger bodies at AFL level he could become an elite player.

Plays like: Dustin Martin


6. ADAM CERRA

Midfielder, 186cm, 85kg, Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro

Buckenara says: Cerra didn’t dominate at this year’s U18 carnival but he is a midfielder that is classy by foot, has a big engine, makes good decisions with ball in hand and wins the ball at stoppages. He also doesn’t appear panicked when under pressure, which is an important trait AFL clubs are looking for in players. A knee injury limited Cerra last season but he has had a year of consistent performances in 2017, which makes him one of the leading midfielders up for grabs in this year’s draft. He is a powerful player.

Plays like: Patrick Dangerfield


15. PADDY DOW

Midfielder, 184cm, 78kg, Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country

Buckenara says: Dow has plenty of natural talent with a genuine turn of speed and good goal sense but he combines that with a strong work ethic. He’s a midfielder with lots of attributes and he had a reasonably consistent carnival for Vic Country without being brilliant. He has a bit of x-factor and is a player to keep an eye on.

Plays like: Patrick Dangerfield

13. CHARLIE CONSTABLE

Midfielder, 190cm, 83kg, Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Buckenara says: At 190cm Constable is the modern-day midfield prototype. His height gives him an advantage over other players and he uses that to his advantage with his marking around the ground. He also uses his size well at stoppages and is generally a smart footballer who reads the game well. Constable missed Vic Metro selection in its first game of the carnival but he featured prominently in its final three games.

Plays like: Fyfe

If Card falls right and we get Rayner at p3 and Dow/Constable at p10

Sames goes, would even prefer a younger DFA.

 

[Jimmae]

As a medium defender? Here's the likely depth chart after pre-season:

Plowman, Marchbank, Macreadie, Byrne, Williamson....

...

...

White.

Back the kids. Can even shift Weitering if needed due to our more reliable senior KPDs that'll be sitting there as depth.

I agree, what other reason can they have for keeping him on?Interestingly I think it is also from the group named that we will trade out and up in the next drafts.

Enjoyed reading those summaries from Buckenara
