Draft pick #6???

[kaysee]

Heard KG talking this morning about how 2 other Carlton players have come out saying they receiveed under the table payments.

So by the sounds of things it looks like Carlton are going to end up loosing their 1st 2 picks this year. This means our #8 Draft pick effectively becomes #6... maybe Porthos or others could re-evaluate who Port are likely to pick up with a #6 pick?

Cheers

We'll be hanging out for Schammer, I hear. Barring his availability, the likes of Jared Brennan, Jay Schulz, Blake Grima, Jarrad McVeigh, Stephen Gilham and more are available.

A couple of doubles it'd be nice to get at #6 and #16 would be....

Jared Brennan and Anthony Corrie (both very talented NTers from the same club of Southern Districts, a tall and a small)

Byron Schammer and David Kellett (go for the All SA midfield, but have excellent traffic skills and good to excellent disposal)

Byron Schammer and Luke Jericho (two West Adelaide boys, Schammer the small, Jericho the tall forward)


Of course, I still don't reckon they'll take the two picks this year, but I sure hope they do

Judging from the assessments in links from Porthos's excellent draft site, a Brennan/Corrie pairing would be something spectacular. Sounds like a circus high wire act without a net! And hey, I'm all for entertainment

Winderlich might be interesting too. Just as long as we stay away from anyone from Loserville.

I seriously think Port should be looking at Jason Porplyzia from West Adelaide *nods*

Any chance of us targeting [Daniel] Bell from Glenelg?

Quote from the Sunday Mail, 17.11.02: One of four SA All Australian Representatives this year, Bell is a pacy, skilful defender with excellent foot skills.

Quote from THE draft site. Courtesy of Porthos, of course!: 32 Daniel Bell Glenelg 13 Apr 85 187 82 -
Strong in the contest and versatile player who can play forward and kick goals. SA U18 representative this year winning All Australian honours. Member AIS/AFL Academy in 2001/2002.

Sounds damn good to me. Thoughts?

i thought that you wanted him to stay down glenelg..

He'd still play for Glenelg even if he gets traded to Port. He wouldnt break into the senior side for at least another year or two I shouldnt think, so he'd be floating about in the Tigers' side until that happened.

The funny thing is, he's a Crows supporter.

If he gets drafted to Port, I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

Nothing against Daniel Bell, but he's another bloody flanker which is the one type of player I can say with absolute certainty that we don't need.

Sure, if he slips through to 61 or 72, no worries.....but he'll likely go somewhere between 10 and 40.

Yep we need either in and under or key position players...........this time next week we'll be much wiser........

Yeah, probably not really what we are looking for, but if he's the "best available" then i'd suggest we may look at him at pick 18. I'd like to see him at Port as i know his brother through a friend and it would be go to know someone on the list personally again.

I know Freo are very interested and have been for some time, but as a player i'd hate to go there!

He'd need to be `best available' by a very long way to be our #18 pick.

Guess it depends on what the great Alan Stewart sees fit to do, i'll put my trust in him. But i think you are probably correct in what you are saying about him, as i doubt he will be the best available at pick 18.

Cmon Eago, u "think" Porthos is "probably" correct? Very non-committal, considerin the draft czar is who you are referring to

I would be happy to draft a midfielder, for a change, with our first pick. With the second, I guess I wouldn't mind going for a key position player. Can't wait til the draft!

Didn't want to get into a debate with the Czar over a topic I basically agree with him in principle but because of knowing him & his brother perhaps skewes my thinking, at the end of the day the Czar's judgement is almost as reliable as Stewart's.

Wasn't the last time we drafted a midfielder early one M Stevens? Lets not do that again! Rombotis also springs to mind, sadly.

Seems like it is happening to a number of threads. Looks like time for some well thought out statements from our good selves!

A fair bit less reliable....I thought Jamar and Rutten would go early last year.

Wasn't the last time we drafted a midfielder early one M Stevens?

If you want to be technical, the most recent was Kane Cornes at #20 in 2000, Koulouriotis at #12 in 99 & Carr at #7 in 1998 (with Michael at #5)....not too bad.

Lets not do that again!

I think the lesson we learnt from Michael was not to go nuts over a guy that gets BOG in an u18 grand final and ignore the rest. Barham did the same thing, but at least we only used a rookie pick on him.

Rombotis also springs to mind, sadly.

Ugh..

To illustrate further how much Alan Stewart would **** all over me, in 2000 I would've taken Kane Cornes at #12 and Allan Murray at #20 and not worried about Shaun too much!
