Merged Draft Threads - Part 3

[Burzum]

Not that big a fan of Hurley or do you think we just need that A-grade mid?

What about Banner? is he any sort of a chance?

Watched him at the carnival and he was pretty good.

Just thought we should go A grade mid first as there where some good tal KPP later on. Not as good as Hurley but good enough to make it IMO of course

Around third round maybe late second. Has a bit of a problem as far as wayward kicking goes at times but someone will take the risk on sorting it out simply becasue he finds so much of the ball.

 

[Burzum]

It would be great to finally have an a-grade midfielder.

I change my mind from Hurley to Sidebottom everyday

I'd love it if we could trade Lovett + a pick or player and get a mid first round pick to get someone like Trengove.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Recruiters also pick the best players in the draft that remain, The position they're after doesn't really come into it so much.

Beleive me, I heard that myself from a recruiter.

Early rounds they go best available. Later on when it gets harder to seperate people they go on needs, but they clearly have to be up there with best available to be in contention to be taken at that pick.

 

[bomba4eva]

No way he will be available at that pick. No chance at all. Will go between picks 15-25.

We could have got him as a bottom-ager last year. Sigh.

 

[bomba4eva]

Ant is right which is why I recon he is a chance to slide till the 3rd rund. He does not have a left foot. But that said a few players in the AFL are one sided and that does not stop them. Don't want him with our 2nd rounders, but for a 3rd round I do think he would be best available

With a 3rd rounder we'd be laughing. Of course he'd be best available at that stage.

Myers

Add pace & height onto the list of problems for Banner. He isn't very quick and from memory he is under 180cm. The things he does do very well are he goes in hard for the footy, can roost a 50m+ kick on his preffered foot and he reads the play well as well. I'd be disappointed if we got him with one of our first three picks, but certainly after that he'd be worth a spot.

Myers

Selwood and Palmer

I saw a kid from the Jets that took my eye too. Jayden Post.

Is he a chance to get picked up. I think he would be worth Rookie Listing.

Selwood and Palmer

I can look passed Selwood becuase we decided to go KP with that pick. Gumbleton will soon stop people from staring into space, rocking up and down and muttering Selwood, Selwood.

Once Myers proves to us that he is a dud then I will get onto our recruiters for not taking Palmer. Until then I am content. Of course he does have the dreaded pick 6 curse which doesn't fill me with much confidence. I rate Houli very highly also. He has class and we need that in abundance.

I wasn't taking the piss out of you, more the people who don't shut up about Selwood and Palmer.

SHUT THE **** UP! WE HAVE MYERS AND GUMBLETON. END OF ****ING STORY!

I think you should go and get a drink of water and some fresh air. come back when you have calmed down a bit. hahaha

 

[Smyth94]

I still don't get the angst of Selwood over Gumbleton - yes he is an amazing player but Gumbleton was a desparate need in what was a very strong draft for KPP's.

If we hadn't of drafted Gumbleton at #2, who would be replacing Lucas in a few years time? Hooker? Daniher?

We weren't the only club who passed on Selwood

 

[Red Black and Blue]

You can never tell what would have happened if we had drafted Selwood or Palmer, they might no have had the same impact, different scenarios at training could have caused injuries, I'm happy with Myers and I'm sure there has never been a more well known 5 gamer than Gumby

 

[banta]

if we recruited selwood and palmer, it would be adding two of my fave player outside essendon, IMO they are great young players who will be stars. im a huge rap for myers and im not saying that myers and gumbleton wont be stars, but they have only played like 10 games between them, and its hard for players to prove themself over a career nonetheless a handfull of games. so its clear why some see the overlooking of selwwod and palmer as wrong at this stage..

We can't judge Myers and Gumbleton after 1 and 2 seasons, but we can judge Selwood and Palmer after 1 and 2?

We'll revisit this in 10 years.

(I wish, we'll revisit it in 10 minutes).

Myers and Gumbleton are duds.

Palmer and Selwood are the 2 biggest mistakes the club has ever made.

The recruiters should be killed.

Wonder if I got in before the 10 minutes are up. I didn't see the time of your post.

Agreed. We should kill everyone at the club, and that Ben the Gooner guy. He seems to be defending spuds like Myers (shit) and Gumbleton (shit).

i think its fair to say you can pass some judgement on them after they both won rising star awards and selwood a premiership medallion. we have nothing to judge myers and gumbleton on, other than we know gumby is injury prone.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Let's not go into this, but there've been many one season wonders, who become serviceable players at best.

Myers' left foot is incredibly promising.

Anyway, I'm leaning towards a gun mid with pick 5, and Lisle or a trade with pick 23.

 

[BigFishInn]

myers isnt too bad but compared to the other two mentioned he is a dud...gumbleton is just an overated injury prone youngster who cant buy a game

 

[Hislop200]

Get over it. I bet you Myers and Gumby play in a premiership before Palmer. ( I couldnt put Selwood in to that statement)
