Preview Pies Picks - Your Guess

[DaVe86]

18. Grundy
19. Simpson
20. Lonergan
38. White
80. Currie

Hey, it's my fantasy.

Yep, that would be my dream draft too...although maybe if we had Grundy then we wouldn't need Currie and can take a pick into the PSD.

 

[THATSGOLD]

If Grundy is there you can bet Derek Hine will be dropping his pants at the thought of him in the black and white

Well im betting we dont get him. Sounds like Simpson is a lock if still there. We have interviewed him already.

We would of interviewed everyone in the top 20 on our list, some probably more than once

 

[Number 10]

Might be easier for the young rucks to compete with the new ruck rules, from what i've heard he's pretty much ready to go.

Probably in the same vain as Longer though...

What I meant by "woes" was - everyone seems hell bent on picking up a ruckman who can steer us to a premiership if Jolly goes down but the simple fact is no-one in the draft can. I would love him, but people hoping to pick him up for the sole purpose of having him as reliable premier backup ruckman for next year have it all wrong. That was more my point... Anyway, neither here nor there the argument has been done to death.

This is true. Alright, let's throw in a Garlett at 80.

 

[HFF]

It's far too difficult to know for sure- especially as we have three back-to-back-to-back selections.

Just with all the "whispers" going around, I think Ben Kennedy is a favourite to become a Pie tonight. North is the only other club "linked" to him heavily but apparently they are set to take Hrovat (who coincidentally is quite close with Boomer Harvey).

Not sure how it will play out but I'll tip Kennedy to join us tonight.

 

[Snoop Dog]

18 Taylor Garner
19 Tim OBrien
20 Ben Kennedy

20 Ben Kennedy

That would be awesome.

Why do i keep getting flashbacks of Sean Rusling about Garner

You are right. But having said that I think Witts could surprise next year. I doubt he can take us to a flag...but I think he could hold down a good 2 months if Jolly had a bad hamstring or groin injury.

Ultimately we need Jolly there at the business end...but I'm pretty confident Witts can really stand up.

But as you say, regardless if we still had Wood, or if we get Currie or if we get Grundy...Jolly is the key when we make finals.

But I'd love to get Grundy. Reckon he would be a steal and we'd be mad to bypass him.

 

[Temploar]

Geez, if we picked up Grundy and Jolly retires at the end of next year then i'd be pretty darn happy with a Witts/Grundy combo for 2014.

Half of ruslings problems were random injuries like fractured cheekbones, broken wrist, hamstring ect ect. His shoulders weren't the only reason he didn't make it, very VERY injury prone in all areas.

 

[TradeDraft]

18 Taylor Garner
19 Tim OBrien
20 Ben Kennedy

I be Happy with that

Two 19 year old ruckmen oh joy!

Witts would be 21 at least

 

[THATSGOLD]

Witts would be 21 at least

Witts will need to be 24-25 before he an AFL standard ruckman. Same with any ruckman really.

Some ruckmen take until 24-25, others can be ready at 21... witts is a different player to other ruckmen and its hard to say when he'll be ready because ruckmen of his size rarely come along, with such a little pool to make observations from we can't make anything with certainty.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

My updated thoughts:

18 - Kennedy
19 - Colquhoun
20 - Simpson
39 - Wright

 

[typewriter]

18- Grundy
19- Garner
20- Stringer (can only hope on stringer and grundy)
38 - White
80 - Garlett
would be my perfect draft!

There is no way Garlett is going to fall to 80.

 

[the distributer]

McBean at 38.

no way??? LOL hopefully we can nab him in the PSD or at very least with a rookie spot. Very happy with Grundy.
