List Mgmt. Draft Needs 2018 #2: Rankine / Lukosius / Rozee / Hately, I'm knocking Woodcock out the box, daily!

[Bicks]

To be fair it seems like we’re having that ‘chip on our shoulder’ attitude towards all clubs with academy/FS players haha

We haven't had one that anyone even considers worthy of a bid yet?

Twomey had Fog at pick 4 last year..

That’s because most of them have beaten us in finals LOL

Twomey was pretty spot on with his Adelaide intel last year

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Someone on Facebook posted from an event Fagan was a speaker at. Claimed Fagan said we wanted 5 picks in the first 25 for this draft because we rated it so highly and had McAdam rated at 16 on our talent list.

The company line !

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I actually rate Valente higher than O’Halloran as a prospect, so in a vacuum I’d be happier with that haul, however Valente doesn’t suit our needs with his lack of pace

Who do you think has the higher ceiling though? O'Halloran is a better athlete.

I do too and think he’s underrated , just not overly suited to our current squad

Who knows in 3-4 yrs time

Hawks had Mitchell Hodge Lewis and Sewell in their glory years , not much speed there

Good players are good players as long as surround them with speed

Got a few wrong but clubs only tell him part of the story.

I think Valente could end up a steal

MVP of the most talented SA team in a decade isn’t a bad start

84 % Efficiency as an inside mid is almost unheard of

Under the radar

 

[ams4crows]

I want Bailey Williams. We need 1 big man. Butters is ok but I think there are others better.

I like Williams with 16 and O'Halloran with 21.... if it falls that way.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

I get that but I don’t get patting yourself on the back and talking up how many picks you’ve got, if you’ve only got them because you’ve lost quality players.

Port have done it too, “we wanted quality picks in this strong draft” ignoring they’ve lost Polec and Wingard plus a heap of picks to do it.

How else do you get them ?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I reckon it’s getting harder with clubs getting smarter eg tricks like last minute interviews of players they aren’t overly keen on

More ducks and drakes now than ever

I reckon we go pace with the early picks and hope he slides a bit. We will need someone of his type in a few years but will we persist with him until the Sloanes of the world retire.

 

[maxlilly]

Butters adds stuff we dont have IMO, Williams too but I reckon someone will reach for him.

Is Butters any different to Gallucci ?
They appear to be similar players to me

Better by foot

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Coming bottom or not winning any games at all and getting a priority pick

 

[conVINCEd]

That’s not what the data shows though. If you want a superstar you need to be high up

Last five Brownlow Medal winners and their draft pick:

2018 Mitchell - (16; Freo bid for him at 16, was awarded selection number of 21 due to weird f/s rules back then)

2017 Martin (3)

2016 Dangerfield (10)

2015 Fyfe (20)

2014 Priddis (31 in the rookie draft).

What about keeping quality players so you don’t have to keep on developing draft picks.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Better by foot

Better footy IQ, must less explosive and less developed physically

Agreed, and of very very good character which is a big deal for us. I reckon we take him with 16 actually.

Bit of a reach but he does deserve to be a first rounder.

 

[GROTTO]

The CarlTANK way.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Sounds a plan

 

[hey shorty]

Going by our training pics theres a lot of guys less developed physically than Gooch

The data shows that if you want a superstar you have to be higher than pick 8?

That's patently untrue.
