List Mgmt. Draft Watch 2015

[Tantidar]

"Head of football David Noble said the Crows have done their homework on Burton and given him the medical all-clear.

This included examining his body and medical records at last month’s AFL draft combine and watching him undertake a special medical test, alongside fellow key forward draft prospect, Victiorian Sam Weideman, in Melbourne last Wednesday.

“We’ve certainly done our homework on all of those (injured) guys,’’ Noble said.

“Ryan, being a local, and having had a bad injury we’ve looked at him very closely and cleared him medically.

“We’ve done our due diligence and he’s on our (prospective draft) list.’’

Yep only 2 picks and then one much later for Jake Kellys promotion.
We had a couple of picks late 20s early 30s but traded them for Seedsman and Menzel

While formally part of the draft, picks used on rookie upgrades are not being included in the AFL's draft order this year. If you look at the list on the AFL website, it only has us selecting two players.

They brought this in last year. Makes sense to me, cos they aren't really new draftees, so why include in the draft order.

Rookie list promotions are included among the compulsory minimum of three selections that each club must have at the draft, but the names of these players will not be formally read out at the draft.

Just a thought - if Burton gets drafted by us and turns into a star, could we send Lynch down back more often and play him as a rebounding defender? I know he's better up forward, but I fear if we draft Burton that we'll be too tall-heavy

Unpopular Draft Opinion.

Riley Bonner will have a better AFL career than Aaron Francis

 

[Captain Furious]

Ok. Here it is. Couple of surprises. Personally I hope for Francis, Milera, Burton but think we'll only end up with Milera, and that's only if GC go with Ah Chee instead of Milera. Couldn't be bothered to do Academy picks. Wouldn't surprise to see Balic. Would surprise to see Curnow. Bonner the dark horse. Most unpredictable draft ever.

Carlton - Weitering
Brisbane - Schache
Melbourne - Francis
Essendon - Oliver
Essendon - Weidemann
GC - Ah Chee
Melbourne - Parish
Carlton - Harry McKay
Adelaide - Milera
GWS
Carlton - Curnow
Richmond - Burton
Adelaide - Collins
St. Kilda - Hibberd
Hawthorn - Rioli
GC - Tucker
North Melb - Gresham
Hawthorn - Bonner
Carlton- Mathieson
WB - Balic
WB - Ben McKay

 

[Team DJ]

Are Francis and Milera good mates? I'll hate it if Essendon pick both of them to mitigate some of the go home factor.

Francis and Bonner are. Went to PAC together.
Not sure about Milera

I like Collins and personally reckon he has all the tools to end up a very solid KPD. Wouldn't be unhappy.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Still not ruling out parish if he gets past pick 3

Would be v happy with milera at 9 and a KP at 13 H Mckay> collins> burton

Hoping carlton take curnow at 8 to help shape our picks

 

[Pdub]

I wonder if Burton getting invited to the draft is Carlton's doing. I think we want similar players to Carlton, except they want Curnow and we don't and we want Burton and they don't. They are trying to convince us they want Burton so we take him with our first pick and we are trying to convince them we want Curnow so they take him with 8.

Having said that, AFC twitter doing some foreshadowing?

Skippos reckons it could well be the bombers making a play for him... don't think inside info, just his opinion.

This and I hope Essendon take Weideman. I think that could drastically change the draft order.

 

[Ozzie]

Adequate compensation and what I expected to get for Dangerfield are 2 different things.

If there is some truth to what Melbourne offered last year, 2 picks inside the top 5 from memory would be adequate compensation.

Pick 9 and a 2nd round pick plus an untried player is not adequate compensation for someone rated in the top 5 of the AFL. It really isn't a hard equation to work out.

Now, what I expected to get in this trade period is a whole different kettle of fish because you then need to consider he was out of contract, he could have entered the draft and we could have got nothing.
In this scenario the club potentially got the best it thought it could get whilst negotiating with Geelong but the fact remains that the outcome of that trade is not adequate compensation for Dangerfield.

Give it away this has been rehashed over and over. IMO we were always going to be screwed. V would never have gone to Melbourne so that is a moot point. To walk away with picks and a player beats the sanctions any day of the week. Compo pick 14 equals no thanks to me. Let's just leave it alone and enjoy which 2 new players we get today and boo the Doggies and Pussies.

 

[cammo6556]

With the addition of Burton into the top 10, I feel much better about our chances of getting two high quality players... It's still a slim chance, but it's been eating pies.

Unpopular Draft Opinion. Riley Bonner will have a better AFL career than Aaron Francis

Bonner looks very very good doesn't he.

 

[Team DJ]

Bonner looks very very good doesn't he.

No one knows where Francis best fits. 3rd tall down back probably. But will be tried everywhere.
Bonner will play 200 games across the wing and half back, lacing blokes out from 60m away

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I can see Burton going to the Suns

Might be unpopular, but it could very well be right. It depends a lot on getting to the right club.

 

[Draft Bored]

Some of the Aussie cricket team will be in the crowd tonight. They're staying at the same hotel as the draftees.

 

[Crowman32]

I think we are going to go for burton with our first pick.

 

[FAITH]

comments by nobes makes me feel we arent after him at all

 

[arsene wenger1]

Sitting in the middle of it at the moment.....everyone from the footy world is here

 

[Stiffy_18]

There are quite a few games played between us and the Blues today. All shall be revealed by tonight. I say I will be surprised if we did draft Burton but will trust our crew if we do.

Either way, I am confident that we will get good players with both picks. I still would prefer a KPF and a midfielder and I still believe we will draft a KPP (whether a forward or defender) and a running player who will eventually play in the midfield.

Tell him to come back in time for the draft tonight.
