Draft rumours

[doug85]

Emma Q says that Carlton is very keen on Clay Smith with pick 22, but she believes its unlikely he will last that long.

Based on that, it seems unlikely he will last past 30.

Interesting. From what I have seen he is good but has a few flaws.

 

[tigs2010]

We have been linked to numerous players such as Smith Greene Tomlinson Adams Docherty Longer and a few others.

I am surprised people Clay Smith is a good option at 8/12. I personally think he will go around the mid 30s - early 40s.

Devon Smith i think they mean.

Sadly she thinks he won't get past the Dogs pick 17.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Not a lot of eagerness for Clay round here.

Looks to have a real good attitude and thirst for the contest, puts his head over the ball and wins it.

You could do worse out of a comprimised draft then a player who won't die wondering and loves to get his hands dirty

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

The "Crazy Vossy" perception may be helping the cause too.

I would have thought that with the "Crazy Vossy" perception, the best way to get teams to stay away from the guy you want is to just make it extremely clear that he's the guy you want...

... Jesus ... imagine having both Mitch Robinson and Clay Smith in the same side.

Love players who go as hard as Clay.

Hate players who kick like Clay

Yep, seems to be the story of this draft after 12 or so picks. Players with really good attributes, and really poor ones. Just nit-pick what you can mend. Rory Sloane was a rubbish kick too

I would have no trouble taking Smith where you got Sloane.

 

[Joshen]

Kersten to Richmond Joshen not Tomlinson. I don't see Kersten as a back.

Apologies. Don't know how I read it as Tomlinson.

 

[WALL-e]

I would have no trouble taking Smith where you got Sloane.

That year also saw Jackson Trengrove, Shaun McKernan, Jack Redden, Zaharakis, Suban in the 20's, Hannebury, Clarke, Sheils, Roughead in the 30's, Robinson, Banfield and Stanley in the 40's. Was a pretty solid draft.

I can see Smith getting picked early because a recruiter 'fell in love'. Tis' the year for favourites.

 

[bombermick]

If you could iron out Clay's disposal - like Jobe Watson has managed to do, you would have an excellent in-and-under player.

Seems strange the Dogs are so keen when there are better-skilled players forecast to be availiable - although they do need replacements for Boyd and Cross.

Seems like a Matthew Boyd type to me. Its great having a stoppage monster, but I hope the dogs take someone with a bit more polish.

Its a tad unhealthy to have one player dominate winning the contested ball for your side when that player has suspect disposal. But way better than not winning the contested ball at all.

Surely there will be a well-rounded midfielder who has a bit of polish available at 17? From what Ive read, Kavanagh or maybe an Ellis, McKenzie or Devon Smith if they are thought to be vcapable of playing midfield. Adams would be fantastic, but likely to be gawn by 17.

 

[Saints94]

Todd Elton to the Saints a shoe in, also we are very keen on Lee Spurr & Kyal Horsley.

 

[Tommy D]

anyone know what time the draft actually starts? No foxtel at my house, so gonna have to be SEN, as i reckon the internet broadcast is slower to get the info across.

 

[Danog]

7:00 I believe.

I read somewhere that the broadcast will start at 6 pm. The draft itself is from 7pm. Whether that applies to SEN couldn't tell you.

 

[Quigley]

On the draft invite is says that the draft commences at 6.50. Probably ten minutes of bolloxing around with the moronic top 10 countdown.

 

[Hank93]

Geoff Parker (Port Recruiting manager) basicly said Liam Sumner won't be considerded at Pick 6.

Prob between WHE, Wingard, Buntine and Greene for Port.

Will not be WHE, despite Port visiting him multiple times they won't be taking him.

Guess you also have some inside info about Port.
