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

[noideaatall]

I got this direct from Hine. The best available apparently. Scharenberg I hope.

 

[Lockyer24]

How about we break it down

1. Boyd
2. Kelly
3. Aish
4. Scharenberg
5. Billings
6......
Who would you take in this situation?

Then who of the following would you take if any of Kelly-Aish-Scharenberg-Billings dropped? If no to one of these, who would your selection be?

Freeman to thwart Melbourne and hope one of Bonty, Salem or Lennon is there at 10

I think we would take bontempelli in that situation then Lennon/Salem/Acres/Freeman at 10

I think this is spot on.

KADE Kolodjashnij's rise to the top end of NAB AFL Draft could continue, with the Tasmanian in contention for St Kilda's pick three.

I bet Twomey can't wait until next week because he's spinning wheels a bit with these articles/live chats/podcasts. He's probably trying to get the inside word and the clubs are giving him nada.

Nearly 11 days to go until draft day so can't be bothered guessing who we will end up in our laps at pick 6 and 10.
I'm sure who ever the kids we get will be more than handy players.
All i would like to know is who Brisbane and Melbourne have in-mind ????????????????????????

Twomey reckons Brisbane want Mccarthy at 7.. But I doubt that, because we already have so many young KPF's. I reckon if KK or Scharenberg are available we will take them, if not we will take Sheed.

Who are brisbane's young KPF?

No way will scharenberg be there at 7, and I think KK is strong chance at 5.

I think Brisbane are the biggest wildcard in the top 10, I suspect they will throw a curveball. With the mass exodus there I feel they will go for the kid least likely to leave rather than best available, it would kill them to have another top young talent leave.

None of the young KPFs you have really have the class, size and athleticism package of McCarthy though. In the case of Paparone, who was highly rated last year, he could potentially find his home in the midfield.

That's not to say that you will draft him, but he does represent an upgrade over what you have.

Young KPF's: Lisle, Close, Paparone, Paine, Freeman
Mid-aged KPF's: Martin, Mcguane, Merrett, West,
Last legs KPF's: Brown, Staker

All up off the top of my head that's 11 KPF's, and I've probably missed someone. We have a shitload of em.

Martin has kicked 27 goals in 63 goals, he is a ruckmen not KPF. West is also a ruckmen

Paparone and paine are undersized, and paparone could end up in the midfield.

That would be like me saying Reid Karnezis Grundy Witts Hudson Goldsack ect are our KPFs

Who there can take over the #1 KPF role once brown retires? most of those guys are utilities or young and unproven/undersized.

Martin has been used up forward for us almost 100% of the time. hasn't played many games through injury. Those stats are mainly from his Melbourne days.

As for who will take over from Brown, Michael Close is the guy we are trying to develop into the next Browny. He has already learnt a lot from him, and he is a pretty good size now. He has started the pre-season brilliantly, looks in very good shape and won the 2km trial. I reckon he will get some game time in 2014, and one day he will walk in Browny's boots as our CHF.

Lions do have plenty of forwards on the books. They could definitely use McCarthy, but I get a feeling they want Bontempelli at #7. Michael Close is a big lad, Paine and Paparone not big enough for #1 key forward, will be interesting to see how it drops.

If Scharenberg and Bontempelli were both available at 6 (likely IMO), who do you think the pies would take?

Yeh i don't believe in everything i read but umm ok to your reply.
I think if the lions are after a fwd its lennon or mcCarthy as they will be better than paine and the rest on your kpf list.

Word is our preference is
#1 Scharenberg
#2 Aish
#3 Bontempelli

Personally I don't think we'll go for a fwd with pick 7. In the past few years we have gone for running height with good kicking skills.. If that trend continues we will probably go for Scharenburg, KK or Bontempelli. I highly doubt we will go for Mccarthy. If the pies take Scharenburg at 6, I doubt we will let Bontempelli slip through (unless we take a punt on Sheed)

I hope we'll take Scharenburg. KK will be gone by 5 (either Saints at 3, or Suns at 5), so there is a huge chance the Lions will get Bontempelli.

As to who i think we will take, I have absolutely no idea. I really feel that Hine will pull something slightly from left field, and it won't be as obvious as Scharenburg, Aish, or Bontempelli.

The doggies could seriously use KK as well, they have tonnes of inside tough players and could really use some outside brilliance

Yep, there was an articale on afl.com today saying both the Doggies and Saints are interested in him.

 

[Smoky]

I'd take Tom Boyd

 

[Buena]

I have no idea what this is. The suit looks cumbersome, would be lucky to get 20 games out of this guy.
