Strategy POLL: Who would you take at pick 6 in the 2013 draft?

[The Royal Sampler]

You justified fooling around with your cousin by pointing out you were unlikely to share any meaningful similarities in athletic ability?

I haven't tried that one before...

 

[the mighty T]

I think by the time we're talking about cousins, the correlation would likely be so weak as to be statistically insignificant.

Sons and brothers might well be significant.

No pressure on Thiago Messi to become a superstar then

scharenberg and bontempelli are the guys i want, aish looks good but in his highlights he had a real propensity to scrub kicks, and i question his intensity

Please don't pay attention to his 3 minute clip.
His disposal efficiency is around the 87% mark which is elite, they just clearly didn't have much footage of him.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Tristan Foenander of Crocmedia has us taking Scharenberg at 6 and Bontempelli at 10.

Where do we sign..? This would be a dream draft scenario IMO.

Wow.

Wouldn't have thought we'd trade up to get Salem. However you rate him it doesn't seem like he has been hot on the radar.

 

[shizzle]

Surely Salem is still available at 10 if we did want him, it has also been mentioned by paige that Brisbane are into the Bomp and would take him at 7 if available.

It doesn't make sense but apparently Melbourne is into Salem at 9.

I'm hoping for for Bontempelli and Lennon, we need taller mids.

 

[shizzle]

Well he must have heard something, it's the earliest I've seen Salem in any phantom or draft discussion.

 

[Jonno94]

This guy who also thinks he gets the inside word, has us taking Scharenberg and Bontempelli.

 

[Jonno94]

It looks like Bontempelli will be at Collingwood next year and his partner in crime could be anyone.

 

[shizzle]

I'd happily take Salem, he's versatile can play fwd mid back, uses it as good as anyone in the draft by foot, and he seems to certainly pass the good character test with flying colors.

 

[Frankie23]

The nerves will be going through the roof if we pass on Bontempelli at 6 hoping he slides to 10...

Still won't have anything on waiting for Beams at 29, biggest sigh of relief when Adelaide read out McKernan at 28

I've heard Salem a couple of times for us but surely he's available at 10.. thought Dees had a hard on for Freeman

You'd take that in a heartbeat, I'm keen to see SCPaige 's phantom out this evening, she's had a fair bit of contact with some of the draftees.

 

[Dontouchme]

Knightmare's rankings which are different to his phantom placings are interesting, clubs will always have differing opinions and positional and list management needs but these are just based on who he thinks is best, some real surprises

1. Jack Martin (WA - Mid) – GC minidraft
2. Thomas Boyd (VIC - KPF)
3. Jesse Hogan (WA - KPF) – Melb minidraft
4. Matt Crouch (VIC - Mid)
5. Luke McDonald (VIC - UTIL) – NM F/S
6. Blake Acres (WA – Util)
7.Marcus Bontempelli (VIC – Mid)
8. Jack Billings (VIC – Fwd/Mid)
9. James Aish (SA – Mid/Def)
10.Ben Lennon (VIC - Util)
11. Dominic Sheed (WA – Mid/Fwd)
12. Lewis Taylor (VIC – Mid/Fwd)
13. Luke Dunstan (SA – Mid/Fwd)
14. Josh Kelly (VIC - Mid)
15. Kade Kolodjashnij (TAS – Util)
16. Cameron McCarthy (WA – KPF)
17. Darcy Gardiner (VIC – KPD)
18. Christian Salem (VIC - Mid)
19. Nathan Freeman (VIC – Mid)
20. Matt Scharenberg (SA – Def/Util)

I still get shivers when I remember hearing Geelong pick 17 Thurlow and knowing Grundy was ours

 

[Dontouchme]

Top 12 to 14 pick themselves then it's a lottery.. we've played this draft perfectly

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-29/unpredictable-draft-expected


ONE OF the most "unpredictable" drafts in recent years is expected next month, with clubs unable to put a line through who will feature in the first 30 picks.

While the first batch of 12-14 selections at the NAB AFL Draft are unlikely to feature any major shocks, many recruiters believe there will be some surprises in the next group as clubs reach for the players they want.

Well, that is Salem's Lot....

Meh, unless they had a magic selection which gave them both Beams and Hannebery, there really was nothing to worry about.

haha i still remember where i was when listening this on the radio!

i know hannebery was around the mark but the steele beams combo is what i was hoping for

 

[Dontouchme]

Almost as bad as GWS having 9 of the first 11 draft picks and missing Chad Wingard
