Mega Thread Trade/Draft SuperMegaUltraThread - 2015 trade period edition

[INSANE]

I reckon we'll take Cunningham with our first, bid for Himmelberg 2nd and take Marcus Adams with our last pick.

Cunningham averaged 20 touches and 5 clearances for Oakleigh. In a shallow draft with a heap of players with question marks on them, his explosive speed, balance, lateral movement through traffic and good size elevates him above others in my dreamy eyes.

Himmelberg looks like C McCarthy, just has to work on set shots (like the entire AFL just about).

And Marcus Adams will be our new Quinten Lynch/Troy Wilson muscle man. Looks talented too.

Rookie Brenden Abbott? Has had issues with home sickness at Collingwood but might be different if he's at home.

I would be interested in him as a rookie.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Ah Chee looks like a dreadful first round pick. Will never make AFL grade - far too small and just doesn't have the pace. He takes a hanger off a huge run up (that will never be given at AFL) and people start wetting their pants.

Pat he is one of the quickest available in this draft, he has no tank though so is restricted to a forward pocket role.

Define Elite ?

He's more on the Verge of being an A grade midfielder, which IMO is a very good player but isnt in the top 30- 25 players in that position. Gaff i would say is close to elite. I dont think anywingmen came close to him last season and hence (dont qoute me) being the first pure wingmen to make the AA wing in a few years.

Cool. So let's make the same mistake that Sydney made with Jetta.

Mate thats not set in stone. I made this while i was procrastinating from studying. Tho i think Duggans should be amid.

Yeah flip with Jetta with Duggan and it looks pretty good to me. I don't think anyone on the interchange will be there in 2020 nor perhaps Jetta. Would like to see McInnes in the mix as well.
Nice work avishka5

I dont think Mcinnis would stick around too long. Suprised he didnt want out (really though lions will go after him for redden) but i admire his loyalty. I cant see him getting games unless injuries. Probably will leave for more opportunity. We could use him to lure cripps back home.

i have no idea how he played for Collingwood but yes!!would rather have him on the list than Tunbridge.

 

[Falco]

Abbott's an interesting one, probably a more natural footballer than Tunbridge IMO. He would be a interesting prospect. Does anyone know much about him?

I know I wanted him in his draft year.

 

[new breed]

Abbott was a slightly troubled junior showing real talent and got drafted to Collingwood even after having ankle surgery and missing half the season in his draft year .

Brendan Abbott at Collingwood was showing good signs in the VFL after having a shoulder recontruction .Sounds like more discipline issues brought on his downfall . Also the nephew of Brendan Abbott alias " The Postcard Bandit " who was notorious for robbing banks and escaping from prison ( Fremantle ) numerious times and sending police postcards from his current location .

I think he would be a good rookie but is risky .

 

[mattyc75]

I think I remember hearing that abbott kicked 6 goals in a game in the vfl this year.

With those kinds of connections Carlton should probably take him to help deal with their financial woes.

He's still only 20, 21 next year. He kicked 6 goals in a VFL game. He's got talent, seems like the issue is application and mentality.

Was he delisted by Collingwood?

 

[Chris_6678]

Was he delisted by Collingwood?

Yep because he kept going back home without notifying the club.

 

[bodazoka]

Was the issue in his draft year his height? was he an in betweener forward?

 

[2006_Eagles]

Yep because he kept going back home without notifying the club.

lol

 

[Godfather32]

Should we debate this

I'm sure it will be a rational discussion on both sides and is very unlikely to get out of hand, what's the worst that could happen?

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I suspect waterman will be given a chance due to his link to the club and the fact that he was more than promising before glandular fever. If he overcomes earlier into the season (best case in the preseason) he could be pushing for a debut later in the year IMO.

Alec would be pushing for senior selection next year imo if he wasn't ill. If he can recover well, we'll have a very promising midfield prospect on our hands. Don't know anything about glandular fever, but hopefully he can better soon...

Couldn't agree more. Him and Hardisty I like, and it's not just because I don't want the tiggers to get their hands on them eh Monocle

swannies I don't disagree with the premies that Abbott would be worth a rookie spot , adds a lot more upside than Tunbridge , Colledge or Lucas...... however I will gladly take him at Tiger Land....... as for your mob , Crowley...FFS.........spits on ground as he types this. Does your Club have no shame

Any more info on Cunningham? Where' he expected to range in the draft?

Whilst I dont disagree with the premies that Abbott would be a better addition to our squad than Colledge, Tunbridge or Lucas , I will gladly take Abbott back at Tiger Land .

Now as for your mob.... Crowley ...FFS ..... "spits on ground as he types this' ....does your Club have no shame.

I dont know about glandular fever either. All i know is thats its a kissing disease and it takes ages to get better from it.
