Call it early. Name your boys!

[Mordecai]

With the increasing information being given on the draft and the ability to watch the TAC Cup final and the champs I think more people are getting to see the potential draftees before they get picked up.

So here is your chance to call it early and name your picks. Sure you can say Watts, Rich or Hurley but you'll get less kudos.

My boy is Klemke. He has leadership, often a nice kick, hard at it and strong through the hips. Will be a steal for anyone who picks him up.

Over to you - heaps to choose from. Call it early.

 

[cormick]

Ziebell and if I can, McKernan

Edit: And Chris Hall and Xav Gotch.

But thats being selfish

 

[Blueinblood]

Rhys okeefe

 

[strath39]

Ziebell,Sidebottom,Paul Cahill and Matt de boer will all be guns in a couple year times

 

[Dave The Man]

Sidebottom,Tengrove,Swift and McKernan

 

[sinepari]

Broadbent, Blight.

So many more too.

 

[Mordecai]

It's like in Curb you Enthusiasm with the woman testing out all the ice cream. Hurry the **** up and choose one. One man each I think guys.

 

[-VC-]

**** off. Sidebottom is all mine.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I call Lewis Johnstone.

I will say a guy that I think can develop to be one of the best midfielders taken in this draft and in the league;

Matthew Broadbent

Love the way he moves, his footy smarts and his ability to cover the ground. At the next level he will be a beauty.

The next guy will be a smoky but again I like the way he goes about things and think he will make a fantastic midfielder in the AFL;

Tom Allwright

Lastly another smoky type that will need a bit of development but again, very smooth mover and can be a player;

Luke Stanton

oi i shotgunned broadbent

 

[Cruiser23]

Ziebells been my boy pretty much all year but i've developed a few other favourites since then and they aren't your household names either.

 

[Tigerbob]

oi i shotgunned broadbent

Damn must of missed your post.

Anyway I like him too.

Sharing is caring mate.

He will be a fantastic player.

I was a massive rap for Steele- before everyone jumped on his bandwagon.

So a few that I think will be great AFL players- that probably won't go first round for their billing- but i'd consider very good.

Cornelius- Damn his performance in the 100pt belting was impressive. He didn't look fast to me- but his marking is pretty great. Would definately be jumping up and down if the Roos got him in the 2nd round- although he won't last there- surely.

Redden- I honestly saw him- and wondered why he was rated so lowly as a ruckman on BF. He's quick from what i've seen of him, and whilst I didn't think he was a Cox like ball-magnet that reads the play well- his skills looked ok enough to suggest he could do damage around the ground. He's 202cm tall- and IMO is a perfect second ruck option for any club. Most of all- his pure ruckwork impressed me.

Banner- BALL MAGNET-endurance to boot.
He's not rated- because of his decision making. Granted I don't watch him week in and week out- like some of the eastern suburbs TAC teams- but when i've seen him- his decision making hasn't been that bad. Agreed- he doesn't deliver it with lace out precision- but I personally think that in an AFL system- those sort of kinks can be worked out. At some point- even the 'unflasshy' players that do well- will get on lists- and prosper. I stood in amasement as Leigh Adams was not selected. Now- I see him as one of our most promosing younsters. The same goes with Robert eddy- who i was suprised was looked over by most. Now he's actually in a prelim final team.
Hope Banner gets picked up- because his work rate and footy smarts are just so impressive.

Getting away from the obvious first round candidates.
Ash Smith.

Ash Smith.

One of my favourites also Ant, along with Jayden Post and James Strauss.

 

[Burzum]

Michael Hurley.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Less kudos

 

[GoDons]

Charlie Sharples for me.

Not a first rounder, not a second rounder, probably not even a third rounder, but for excitement, he'd nudge number one.

 

[Bubba_5]

James Strauss, Rhys O'Keefe

 

[darcytiger]

Jordan Jones, my boy.

 

[Ebert80]

Vickery

Schoenmakers (if Cahill already taken)

Redden

Shannon

 

[pinkus maximus]

clancee pearce. love his composure in traffic and his "punchy" kicking style

 

[getthefooty]

Tom Hill.
