Review National Draft 2015 Discussion

[Defacto]

I wanted Gresham but happy to be wrong about that absolute bust Mathieson

i genuinely feel sorry for him. developing in the NEAFL in a team laced with midfielders already is absolutely shite

 

[Cornish]

Brandon White (13/01/1997. 188cm, 77kg. Dandenong Stingrays)

Medium defender/midfielder/forward

AFL biography: Well rounded medium midfielder/defender with excellent closing speed. He makes very good decisions and distributes the ball well on his preferred foot. Quality mark overhead for a player of his size. Averaged 15.3 disposals (72 percent efficiency) and 2.2 tackles for the Stingrays this year and impressed in three games for Vic Country in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

"I've always liked Brandon. He probably could have played more games for us as a 17 year old, but he went back and played some senior footy which I think has helped him. He's very aggressive and a very good third defender. Once he's had a bit of time in the system I think he'll be a pure utility, that old model utility that can play in all three zones. He has elite speed and poor endurance so he'll need a couple of years, but he'll end up being the smokey in this draft. In two or three years everyone will be saying, how did he slip so low? He's well disciplined, and he's tough as nails. He's that genuine run-through-a-brick-wall type of player that all coaches love. And he's a second cousin of Justin Leppitsch, so he's been able to get some good advice and have some good conversations with him about his footy."

Mark Wheeler, Dandenong Stingrays talent manager

Very happy with White. So close though, 1 more pick and we could have got Matho.

Matho to BRIS is interesting, has a girlfriend down here in Melbourne he said in The Grill on the AFL website.

Bring him back in a couple years

I'm telling ya, I was standing RIGHT next to Finnis, asked him about Matho just before the Lions pick, and he said no, White. Showed me on his phone our list of players: Gresham at 7 on that list, White at 14.

 

[CHBench]

We could've bid on Keays, and then we would've got Matho. Shot the chance to hell ourselves, LOL

 

[blktreacle]

We'll get Bailey for next to nothing now pretty much.

good because i think where vever he does get picked is about where he's rated if he wasnt f/s he'd barely be on the radar

 

[12Chill]

Time to change this profile picture. Is it possible to fit all 5 in? Carlisle, Freeman, Gresham, White and Rice.

Gresham doesn't take up too much space of course

 

[CommonGround]

Just get Matho in two years.

Our boys Tucker and Matho go interstate. Let's see if the queries turn out to be true and if not go get them when they want to come home.

Weller Tucker Matho all OOC end of 17. Will complete the 2018 premiership team.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Gresham, White and Rice. Happy with that haul.

Matho wasn't in the top 20 I saw on Finnis phone.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Seriously.???

So what's White type? Grant Birchall? Sam Docherty?

 

[Joffaboy]

I'm telling ya, I was standing RIGHT next to Finnis, asked him about Matho just before the Lions pick, and he said no, White. Showed me on his phone our list of players: Gresham at 7 on that list, White at 14.

Can you imagine the meltdown if Matho was available and we chose White?

Lions did us and the BF Saints board mods a huge favour

Looks like people give a shit about the beep test after all.

Thanks for the insight mate. That's very encouraging to hear!!

 

[CHBench]

Just read that! Extract more information pls. Ask to take a photo of the list

Joffa nailed it, Brisbane saved this board from a meltdown. Bless them

 

[aussierulesrules]

How bloody stiff was that? Bonner, Balic and Matho all going in the last 3 picks before our 2nd! What the actual ****?

Happy enough with White though, been keeping an eye out for him all year.

Edit: White at 14? Yowza!

 

[The_Steadier]

Sounds like 94% of our list.

Positions don't mean squat anymore- even more so with the kids.

attacking defenders.... defensive forwards..... full forwards helping out at full back....

don't get hung up on positions- everybody runs everywhere now.

 

[BRUUUUCE]

Why did we get a small defender im confused does he look like he can play midfield does he have speed

 

[Hayes4PM]

Can you imagine the meltdown if Matho was available and we chose White?

The real ones spared in all of this

 

[Persevering Saint]

Sorry it was only a quick chat with him between Rounds.

Brandon White is Leppitsch 2nd Cousin & he still picked Matho in front of him... WTF

This is most excellent.

 

[saintwazza]

F you brisbane

 

[StFly]

Demons take a tall who wants to emulate Kreuzer and stay injured most the time.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Lions have cleaned up

Keays, Hipwood, Schache and Mathieson

 

[tbarker]
