Recruiting Trade/Draft Talk III - Zaharakis for a SIG BET?

[MightyDons4]

Fellas, we've conducted a phantom draft over on our board(feel free to go have a look) and i was selecting for your mob, i ended up with
1: Mcluggage
20: Bolton
29: Scharenberg
41: Ridley

just curious about thoughts/comments on that haul?

Looks fine, I would've taken Gallucci and Walker instead of Bolton and Ridley but that's just personal preference. You've nailed out needs IMO.

Looks good. Geez hard to pass on Powell Pepper ar 20. Good pick though as in the phantom there were a number of players id love to have go past 20. Our board should do a phantom!

2 years for Dea

Thanks Richmond lols.

To be fair to Richmond they had basically won more games than anyone leading up to the 18 months before delisting Dea, and just couldn't crack a game in a side that kept churning out wins with a good healthy list. Was the correct decision for Richmond at the time.

 

[eth-dog]

Actually went at 21, personally didn't see bolton being there at 20 but if he was gone SPP it would have been. Reckon he's a better fit over Bolton?

I'd have taken Powell-Pepper and back us to get a Bolton type at 29.

ant555 and DraftMe would you guys select Alex Villis with 29? Will this heart condition affect his draft ranking? Being a hbf (iirc), he is in a position we'll need to add to and was rated highly before it came out.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

So which top prospects are most likely to have tattoos within 3-5 years of being drafted? I'll go for Ainsworth full right arm sleeve, closely followed by SPS with a neck tatt. Book it.

Can't wait to see if your right!

Really unfortunate but unless he gets good news from another specialist I don't think he will get drafted at all. Just wish him all the best for whatever else he chooses to do.

 

[yaco55]

That phantom draft nailed our needs - It's always a guess if you pick the right player.

Unlikely now, his condition (although different) causes similar symptoms to what Josh Toy suffered from (i.e. it severely limits aerobic capacity,, reduced blood flow, etc.) so pushing himself hard like he'd have to as a professional athlete could cause even more severe problems (i.e. heart failure) down the road.

Feel really sorry for the guy, this has basically ended his AFL dream before it's begun.

If it is what they think it is and he tries to play at any real level there's a good chance it'd end his life, not just his career. It sounds harsh but from what I can find out it seems to be a condition that can only be managed by avoiding strenuous activities that elevate the heart rate. There's a bunch of meds you can take to stop other symptoms (if there are any) but there's nothing to prevent sudden cardiac death. It's the leading cause of death among professional athletes.

Not a top prospect but Korewha will get a face tattoo for sure.

And Geelong

 

[coastalpipeline]

yep agree it was Meyers, who i like, when not injured, but boy oh boy Dangerfield or Rioli would've been delicious.

anyway lets all move on to Mcgrath or McCluggage, simpkin, Florent, SPP or Battle.

Jeez Myers looks lean

Sweet how heavy is Carlisle?
Lol

 

[Eagle Bomber]

I still think Myers has a lot to offer. best footy ahead of him and could be a gun for a solid 4 or so more years

I think Myers is underrated. Granted, he's taken a while to really arrive, but I think his strength and super left hoof makes him extremely valuable. Hopefully, he'll stay fit, and if so, I expect some big years from him.

As DraftMe said , would need a few more opinions before you would look at him at all let alone at 29.
