Simpsons press conference before training today

Says that they will be taking best available in the draft and that they believe there's good depth in the draft

Lucas is being considered and they are intending to go through things with him over the coming days

 

[Dark Sharks]

Hi guys, new to the board, just thought i'd see about Nakia Cockatto for our first pick.

Here's his latest highlights video

Haven't heard anything about him - might have to watch the video and do some research.

 

[joeyavalanche]

We should just invest in stem cell research for Daniel Kerr and bring him back.

tom swift's retirement has been funded by west coast and both he and daniel kerr will both return in 2016 when he invents a cure.

nice pace good kick

 

[Suma Magic]

I'm definitely reading into it too much, but I reckon from Simmo's comments that Lucas will be an eagle in 2015.

Hopefully as a rookie if it happens.

 

[paran]

I'm of the same opinion as well as i would actually rate him higher than Pickett because he is more likely to have an impact as a midfielder.

There should still be a player with some speed at our next pick (note that we also selected Karpany in the last draft)

Weller has speed. Not Picket speed perhaps, but he's fast.

 

[Spartan]

We need elite speed / line breakability or elite disposal (preferably both).

To vanilla all rounders, West Coast says NO.

 

[Obeanie1]

In my opinion no. I still think his best position will be on a hbf at afl level. If not wing. He's just not a natural inside mid at U18 level and its a pretty big step up size wise at AFL level. Unless he grows a few more cm's and then puts on KG's i think he will be undersized as an inside mid and he doesn't have the natural inside instinct to make up for it. Thats my opinion though others may disagree.

With a few more cm he'd play a Luke Hodge role, half back, half forward with runs on the ball.

Duggan ticks a lot of boxes for not just our club, he interviewed very well across all interviews it was reported.

Wow - yes, only one game but good hands, has time on the ball, great pace, both feet and strong mark

Yeah he did make it seem like they were going to sign him up during the week.

D Garlett in the news again after going to court. Says he became addicted to meth from his time in Melbourne which led to the burglaries when back home. I'm sure thats when it all started.....Wants to go back to training at Swans.

 

[WaltzingMatera]

Does Duggan really have "elite skills"? I've read this more than once in draft write-ups but only basing on uploaded videos of him it doesn't look elite.

I found another highlights video showing his club football and his skills do look very good actually.

Some people always take things too far...

 

[GoldenEagle]

Welcome Liam "Quality Vanilla" Duggan!

Ahern is Vanilla. Duggan is just Quality.

 

[ArdentEagle]

We need elite speed / line breakability or elite disposal (preferably both).

To vanilla all rounders, West Coast says NO.

At pick 11, we're not going to get both.
Duggan compares elements of his own game to Pendlebury.

I can see where he's coming from to a point.

Never rushed, great decision maker, great kick and one thing that hasn't been mentioned is his vision by hand which is very good.
Quick thinkers are a valuable commodity.

I really, really rate Weller but I feel at AFL level, he'll be limited in the roles he could play due to his size.
Albeit, he'll be bloody good at what he does.

Duggan isn't Vanilla, he is however silky smooth.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Hope that we do wait until the rookie draft to sign up Lucas, would prefer to take a punt on an extra player in the draft. Doesn't seem like any other clubs are interested in him anyway.
