Gollo’s 2015 Draft Thread

[gillo94]

Yeah, I still have my doubts about him, but his performances in the U18 Champs are making me come around to him a little. I'll keep watch on him a bit.

Gollo you have a new top 20

Gollo you have a new top 20

I've been frequently updating my power rankings so what is up there now is pretty accurate to what I think. I may start to add in some player profiles soon, and by October sometime I will edit in a phantom draft. Hope that answers your question Gillo.

What's your opinions of Parish

What's your opinions of Parish

At the moment I feel that he lacks definition as a player, being a jack-of-all-trades type without an elite trait. As he is on the lighter, smaller side, I think it would be handy for his draft stocks if, for say, his athleticism was brilliant or he was uber-consistent, or if he had just one aspect of his game that was better than all others. This isn't to say he is a very talented player, and looks a likely type to make it at AFL level. My only worry is his ability to take it to the next level as a player; I reckon he'll become a top-5 level player in a club, but won't likely be the franchise player some rate him to be. Other than that, he looks ready to make the jump up from U18 level when the time comes, and should slot into a team's fabric very nicely.

Reason I asked is I notice trends every year how players are either rated so highly and vice versa then we see big jumps and slides
Bontempelli is perfect example think was rated 11-13 however taken at 4. Recruiters must not disclose great deal IMO

Hey everyone. Welcome to my thread for the 2015 draft. I will be editing my power rankings as the season goes on, as well as giving my take on some of the players who have risen or fallen dramatically over the course of the year. Later, I will probably get around to profiling some of the players. This is my first ever time doing much in terms of thread for a draft, so any advice or constructive criticism regarding my evaluations of players would be much appreciated. I don't have heaps of time to oversee every players' games and performances, however I research a lot on all of these players, and from a stats basis I have quite a heavy understanding of most draftees. Just note that I will not be doing a phantom draft early on, I don't have the inside info on what clubs need to warrant me creating a proper mock draft until mid-October. For now, enjoy!

Not sure how you rank volpato at 52 and neglect Knight, Foley and Hickey. 3 boys that can run and carry without turning the ball over constantly.

Gollo when's your next mock draft?

Gollo when's your next mock draft?

I might post another thread for the mock draft, instead of using this one, which has the outdated power rankings. Stay tuned, but it won't be on this thread.

 

[daniel23]

Gollo what's your knock on Clayton Oliver ? You have completely over looked him where he is quite High in most other mocks , would love for hawks to nab him at 15 or 18

 

[MyNamesDavid]

I'LL stick by em....Just as I Stuck by McCartin & Petracca as the clear 1/2 a year ahead of the 2014 draft....And for which the self-same criticisms were leveled.

FWIW LemmingMaster I've been following the U18's kids since before Luke Hodge was drafted....I know a gun when I see one.

No you don't.

 

[Procrastinator35]

No you don't.

LOL

Read above. This power rankings has become outdated, rate Oliver very highly (around the 15 mark), will post my mock closer to the draft and redo the format altogether. Just stick around for the next update but just know that my power rankings here aren't reflective of my current thoughts.

 

[Gollo]

Power Rankings down, new Phantom Draft is up!
