Prediction Welcome to AFC - ? - Pick 12, 2017 Draft...

[WaynesWorld19]

Careful Wayne remember Tim English.

Hey i said English not in first round .....at least i was closer than those that guaranteed he'd be top 10

 

[WaynesWorld19]

 

[Sanders]

Lets put it this way .....if AFL Medicos have cleared Stephenson to play, i accept that 100% ......if they're wrong & there is an issue, the AFL will be sued by:
a) The Stephenson family
b) The drafting club

The AFL is risk adverse .....Stephenson is fine

This is dumb, as usual. It’s not AFL’s job to clear him, in fact it’s **** all to do with them

 

[pjcrows]

My pick from months ago was Bonar and sticking with it.

Doesn't matter a miss is a miss.

Its their job to make sure that nobody has even a remote chance of dying in an AFL match.

 

[RePete]

What time do they take the first pick? Also, when is the rookie draft?

7.10pm best guess .....official draft starts 7pm

It really ****ing isn’t

That’s the job of Stephenson’s doctor, it’s a personal health condition

He’ll have agreed to Medicals with club staff to give an opinion to clubs interested. But they aren’t offering any legal indemnity to anyone, least of all the player

 

[Sanders]

I predict we take a player at each of our picks. Some of the usual draft watchers will say they knew who it would be all along, despite never having mentioned them

And Marty will melt

I didn't melt last year but in hindsight the decision was wrong looking at what we should have done

The recruiting staff get paid big bucks and have a cushy job they need to get it right

Nah, I’m just suggesting we need more mongrel... and using David Mackay as the great example of the frustrating lack of mongrel we have!

Goes 100x harder than Jenkins.

Gut feel tells me Pies will take Stephenson at 6

Wonder what this means for Fog

Both could be developed fwd with scope to move to the midfield. IMO, Stephenson a better fit for pies as a likely winger/part time inside mid, with Degoey et al as big bodies inside.

Please let Dfog or Bonar get to us, we haven't had the chance to draft a high end, 90kg + mid in donkey's years

Via AFL Draft Central:

#37 James WORPEL
Inside Midfielder (Geelong Falcons/Vic Country)
24/01/1999 | 185.1cm | 85.5kg

Scouting notes: Cracks in hard winning the ball in the contest and is one of the best clearance players in the 2017 draft pool. Question marks are on his kicking, where at times he will just bomb it out of the packs but he did show in the National Under 18 Championships that he was able to stop and find a target without rushing. Tackles well but has areas to address to be a top 30 selection.

Strengths: Inside game, tackling, leadership, scoreboard impact
Improvements: Kicking, agility

Combine test results: 20m Sprint (secs) – 3.08 | Agility (secs) – 8.89 | Yo-Yo Test (level) –20.8

EDIT - he wasn't in the top 10 in any of the combine tests

Don't be worrying about any of that with Worpel. I've seen plenty of him, he's is a pure footballer in the Matt Crouch mould except bigger and quicker and a more penetrating kick, guarantee he will not take a backward step. Comes from a little town Lethbridge half way between Ballarat and Geelong, a really country lad...has 11 other siblings in his family so doubt he'd be in a rush to head home.

Think they'll take him if North pick Fogarty at 4. Otherwise they'll go with DF.

 

[GrommoT]

Here's hoping we jag a few good ones tonight.....

 

[Wymo]

Come on Crows. Get it right

 

[androidtommy]

pies didnt take fogarty, still a chance!

 

[GrommoT]

Carlton to troll us

 

[dplggr47]

GWS will take Bonar and Fogarty will be available for Crows. There will be pandemonium if Crows pass on him.
