Top 3 for 2008 National Draft

[Amazing#59]

Matthew Broadbent i feel will go top 3

 

[Salaryman]

Vic Crows a top bloke but a terrible judge of junior footballers

 

[Team Mo']

hip!........hip!

Hohray!!!!

Zieb's should go close enough in the 08 SUPER draft

 

[Tigeronprowl]

Dash Barolli....Mark my words, if this kid remains injury free will go top 3 in this years draft. Centreman with huge talent and balance. Hird like. Also tough. Plays with Murray Bushrangers, go and watch him as you will not be disappointed. You heard it here first.

C'mon, you know that it's the other way around!

I saw Natanui play at the U-18 championshisps in 2007.
Plays like a 7 foot rover.
He'll go #1.
A no-brainer.

 

[deadlyroos]

rich an nicko will go top two

I agree thug, but have you seen Rich play? Naita extracts the ball really well, especially for a ruckman, but Rich is not bad either. And I haven't seen Hurley and Hartlett that others here have seen, so it might not be so easy to pick, but I am biased and with you.

I haven't seen Rich play, but if he compares favourably to Natanui, I trust that he must be some sort of player.

Anyway, I fully expect Nata to line up somewhere Round 1, 2009.
I already have a nickname : 'BuddyWho?'

 

[cozdawg#09]

what possie does hartlett play?

Predominantly midfield but is very effective up forward on his 'rests.' CAN take a hanger... see below:

And that was on the way down..

Funny how it took 78 posts for a mention of Watts.

Yeah because Watts is bottom age (born March 1991) and was still playing U16's last year... Naitanui is around 11 months older then Watts.

 

[The Cotch]

I cant be bothered.....but how many for Hill?

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Yeah because Watts is bottom age (born March 1991) and was still playing U16's last year... Naitanui is around 11 months older then Watts.

Plus he was relatively new to the game at U16s level, which means that he wasn't the prospect that he now is.

this kid was a stand out in school footy,someone like norths coach could make him a great footballer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,needs to throw out the orange boots for a start

Nice work Bloods Boy From The Bush. You can claim him as yours.

238 for Stephen Hill (your post just then).

Tom Hill got quite a few mentions just for being a promising 16 year old last year though.

Yeah because Watts is bottom age (born March 1991) and was still playing U16's last year... Naitanui is around 11 months older then Watts.

Also because Watts missed the U16's carnival through injury and that he didn't play any TAC games before the 18's carnival (due to school footy and AIS commitments).

 

[squizzy70]

If Freo has the chance to get Rich and passes for Hill I hope someone will be held accountable.
An inside midfielder ready to go or a kid 2 to 3 years away when players like Pavlich are on the down wood slide.
Who would you want ?
A Sam Mitchell type mid fielder or another Roger Haden ?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Interesting reading in retrospect.

If you told some of the people in this thread that Rich would slide to 7 they would have laughed in your face.

Let alone the Dash Barolli fans calling him a certain top 3 selection... did he even get rookied?

I'm not trying to be a smartass in hindsight, its just a very interesting thread to see how much changes in the recruitment scene in a year.

 

[Neville Bartos]

I liked the Matt DeBoer talk too.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Good to see TBD step up in DTM's absence with the random thread necromancy. Was suffering withdrawal.

Very good.

Also, the ones calling for Dash as Top 3 were quite obviously his friends.

 

[Athomas]

Looks like we won't be seeing much effort from Carlton this year

It's funny cause we passed him with pick 6 anyway.

 

[Athomas]

I think he's only been playing the game for a few years, from what I have heard at the club, so his improvement rate is still going to be reasonably high. But I reckon the Eagles and Dockers will want people to start questioning whether's he's worth it and some other Vic kid will be taken 1 and he'll slide.

Psychic.
