Title: 2012 AFL Draft
Post by: torch on August 26, 2012, 03:51:04 PM
Welcome to the 2012 AFL Draft ...

If we finish 12th, what pick do we get?
Title: Re: 2012 AFL Draft
Post by: mightytiges on August 26, 2012, 11:57:34 PM
We won't finish 12th unless we lose to Port. Most likely we'll finish either 10th or 11th depending on who wins between the Blues and Saints.

Assuming Carlton beat St Kilda (so we finish 11th), I think we will end up with picks 10, 29, 32, 50, 68, ...

The Dees and Dogs sure picked a 'handy' year to use their first round compo picks  :whistle.

Cheers gerks  :cheers. I initially thought they only scrapped the early first round ones which were tanked for but I just rechecked and you're right (AFL will now use its discretion in handing out all PPs).

I'll edit the above list. It's better news for us anyway.

Correct Al, but I believe what there trying to say is the hope these clubs use there first round picks to nominate them forcing Melbourne and Essendumb to use there first round pick to pick them up ;)

I am confident that our recruiters will find some talent to add to the club. I wouldn't have said that in the past but our recent track record has been very promising.

For me, the biggest points of interest come this draft is - 1) What picks we have left which we haven't used for trades & 2) what type of players we choose.

I'm expecting a large amount of midfielders this draft.

Correct, if GWS or GC state they are prepared to use pick 1 or 2 on Viney, the Demons have to give up pick 3 for him. Same goes with Daniher and the Bummers first pick.

It's been pretty well documented that Melbourne and Essendon are expecting to part with their first picks in the draft for both.

How it works is that all clubs get a chance to bid (in reverse ladder order) at a meeting pre-draft.  If there are no bids then the Father-Son club can use whatever pick they like, otherwise they must use their next available pick after the winning bid if they want the player.  If they don't then the player goes to the lowest bid club/pick.

Been researching Dayle Garlett and would love to get him with Pick 9. This from last year:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2JT1OkosP8

Can play in a variety of positions and has speed to burn. Rory Atkins (mid) and Liam McBean (Ruck/Key) with our two 2nd round picks and I would be very happy.

And he's an indigenous boy who is keen to play with an interstate Club:

The question mark on Garlett is his attitude. Of course the likes of Buddy also had questions marks over their attitude prior to being drafted  :P so it's up to the Club to do its homework and sort out if it's just 17 year old immaturity which will right itself as he develops in a strong AFL club environment away from poor influences or he's another Connors.

As for those couple of phantom drafts from BF - I would be disappointed if we used pick 9 on a kid who is only 174cm tall. At that size you need elite speed and skills and a stocky body to make a long career at AFL level IMO.

you don't necessarily need to be stocky, particularly if you are quick (of mind and body) and agile.

I do agree though, using a first rounder on someone that size is a big risk.

considering the body types we have taken in the last two drafts, i would be surprised if we used our first pick on him.
Title: Re: 2012 AFL Draft
Post by: 10 FLAGS on September 09, 2012, 05:56:45 PM
I think we will pick Wines or Vlastuin. Both could be ok players in the AFL but both lack in speed and pace IMHO. Richmond needs to get some quicker players we seem to be getting one paced ie. Conca, Ellis etc. adding either Wines or Vlastuin will not help our situation in terms of speed over the ground.

Sorry Ruanaidh, in the last sentence I was talking about Kennedy who is only 174cm.

Garlett would be a kid we'd be interested in. He fills a need and while Dimma doesn't get say in draftees he would no doubt love us to find someone who can play like Rioli.

No worries mate, I thought you might have meant Kennedy. As for Garlett, I just can't see how we could not choose him if he last's to our spot. I've heard some say that he seems to be more Cyril than Cyril himself  :o

Garlett would be a kid we'd be interested in. He fills a need and while Dimma doesn't get say in draftees he would no doubt love us to find someone who can play like Rioli.
No worries mate, I thought you might have meant Kennedy. As for Garlett, I just can't see how we could not choose him if he last's to our spot. I've heard some say that he seems to be more Cyril than Cyril himself  :o
Garlett would be the perfect choice for us if he turned out to be another Rioli  :pray and would be an upgrade on a Nahas or Kingy.

I would want more than just an upgrade on Kingy, or just another small forward from our pick 9. Would only get him if he can develop into a genuine midfielder.
I do agree that we need more speed and class through the center.

Talk on BF is FJ likes Vlastuin.



Found out today that Kennedy isn't on our radar.

From what I've heard too, we are very undecided on whether to take Vlastuin or Wines if we are set on an inside midfielder.

I really think we should be looking at a midfielder/ forward with great pace at Pick 9 (Garlett or Kennedy). Vlastuin will be a good soldier but we could pick up a quality midfielder/half-back with a later pick. I think Vlastuin at 9 smacks of another FJ safe-bet (Conca/Ellis) - less risk, possibly less reward. In our infamous close losses we lacked a mercurial player who could ignite the side when required. The 'good soldiers' can save matches, we need a match-winner.

Post by: Penelope on September 10, 2012, 08:59:37 AM
your right about the safe bet with our picks ruanaidh, but i dont have a problem with it.
We have had too many misses over the years with our early picks and as long as we get quality players ourselves, it doenst matter if we pass over player X who turns out to be a better player.

I also dont think that it is the x factor players that we missed in those close games, although you are right that in those situations some can win you game with a dynamic burst.
what we really lacked was composure, experience and an all out willingness to compete and push hard when it counted.

with the emphasis on competative type personalities, this in theory will give us the ability to shut down games as these players gain experience.

You are better off to have a team who play as a solid, disciplined team to close out the close matches rather than rely on one or two players' brilliance

Even the star-studded mid-field of the Saints under Gary Lyon lacked one thing - someone with express pace. And he acknowledged it.

fair enough too, but having express pace isnt the same as the X factor you talked about.

....if it was we would be all set with Matty white........

fast players do also tend to be buffalo girls, which is probably fair enough as if they are in and under all the time they don't get to utilise their pace, but should you use a first round pick on this type of player?

Garlett has both Al ;)....and I did mention both. Tell me Al & Gerks, if you could get a Rioli for pick 9 would you do it???

Post by: Penelope on September 10, 2012, 05:40:15 PM
to me there are two issues to decide on when drafting players.
how good a player they have potential to be, and what are the chances they will reach that potential.

The second part is the hardest to get right, and probably the part we have got wrong too often in the past, or worse not even taken it into consideration.

garlett does look a likely type, but being from WA you have the extra in the go home factor, something probably even harder to gauge in advance.

all these things need to be weighed up, because all the potential in the world is useless if they aint on your list in three years time.

Troy Menzel expected now to slide down the draft due to his knees and on the back of his older brother's knee injuries at Geelong.


----------------------------
A HISTORY of injuries could lead to draft prospect Troy Menzel plummeting down this year's order as clubs debate whether he is worth the risk.

The younger brother of Geelong's Daniel Menzel has been regarded as a top-five pick on talent but is no certainty to be taken in the top 30 after having LARS surgery as a 16-year-old and breaking down again on Sunday.

Menzel was injured playing for SANFL club Central Districts and has been booked in to have both knees scanned. Results could be known as soon as today.

One recruiter described Menzel as "an absolute ripper".

"Without the injuries, he'd be a top-five pick," he said.

"His goalkicking ability and his agility are first-class."

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/archives/old-sport-pages/menzels-injury-history-weighs-on-draft/story-fn4hg9de-1226476864505

I remember one T.Cotchin having heavy injury concerns before he was drafted by us. A modified training program and sufficient time to heal all wounds does wonders, but hey lets talk it up enough so other clubs start believing it and he might be there as an option for us.  :thumbsup

Hutchy's show TAC Cup Future Stars had Tom Lee going at pick 11 to Carlton although if Q.Lynch heads there I don't see the Blues taking a key forward with their first pick unless Membrey was still available.

For us I wouldn't mind if Nick Graham was around at pick 29. Most Phantom drafts don't have him going first round but he won the Morrish Medal and played well in the TAC Cup Grand Final today.

VIDEO: It may be the first week of Free Agency but it's also the AFL Combnie, our recruiters were down there yesterday

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/roarvisionarchive/tabid/11454/contentid/495304/default.aspx

* Our focus is on kids who have good character and are really competitive. Technical (skill) gliches can be worked on but we want kids with that competitiveness to get the best out of themselves.

* Through our networks we've watched the leagues in Vic, SA, WA, Qld and Tas. Still got the SANFL Grand Final to watch this weekend.

* We have in some cases up to 35 reports on each of the draftees. These reports are based on our scouts seeing these kids play live.

* We've followed the careers of these kids for 2-3 years (since U16s I'm presuming).

* We've still got to rank all these draftees in order as we do prior to the National draft.

* Due to free agency some clubs who lose high profile players will receive say a 1st round compo pick straight after their 1st round pick so this will push our later round picks down the order. So we've got to weigh all that up and we'll be discussing with Blair Hartley about the delisted free agents available.

ps. Maybe coincidence but the camera spent a lot of time on Broomhead (yes that's the kid's surname).

With Hartley saying we will use four drafts picks, who are we looking at?
As mentioned in the pick 9 thread, Brett Anderson from Inside Football reckons we're keen on Macrae but he may be already gone before our pick. Rumours around that Vlastuin is one of the kids we're keen on.

At picks 29 & 31 it's going to depend on who is still around. Nick Graham was still a possibility of being around pick 30 a couple of months back but now he'll be picked up much earlier. Due to his height or lack of it, Nathan Hrovat may slip down the order quite a bit based on previously drafts. There's also the chance of the likes of Jason Pongracic, Sam Colquhoun or a Matthew McDonough still being available.

At pick 50, it's anyone's guess. One of the BF phantom drafts had us picking up Central Districts' ruckman Jack Hannah with a late pick.

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/young-talent-time-a-2012-mock-draft.956131/
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/knightmares-2012-mock-draft.956129/

It's still far too early to know. We may still trade picks in or out plus the clubs who have lost free agents with receive compo picks which will stretch out the draft order.

Post by: the claw on October 14, 2012, 05:52:24 PM
how about this from an almost  purely mature perspective. mature player being 20 plus yrs old. not saying this will or should happen but shows what you can possibly  do.

9/ caddy 20 yo , prefer to take stringer or wines if available at this pick.  gcs.  -  connors delisted massive win
29/ nd pick here on a mid.  -  webberley delisted massive win
31 tom lee 21 yo kpd/kpf. if not lee a kpd like 18yo  alex  howson. claremont -  e/freo moore ret potential win
50/ nd pick on kid maybe ruckman  -  browne delisted potential win
68/ max duffy 20 yo  med forward e/freo - delisted macdonald. win.
 
fa chaplin 26yo  pa  -  mcguane to  delist. big win
fa knights 26yo  ad - white to delist big win
fa moloney 29yo melb. - newman to vets. big win and gain.

rookies from
kyle martin 22yo mid  vfl -  delisted heslin.  big win
michael sikora 23 yo ruck. vfl   -  retired miller.  potential win
kyle hartigan 23 yo kpd vfl  -  delisted wright big win.
james boyd 23 yo mid.  sanfl - delisted turner big win.
sam dwyer 24? mid  vfl. - delisted a maric. big win.

7 from list proper with 8 new faces to list proper
5 mature rookies replacing 5 rookies.

If Menzel did slide down to 31 cause of his injuries, who would you take. Lee or Menzel?
well we have 29 and 31 why not do both.  as it is lee has gone to stkilda.
for me the most talented player in the entire draft is stringer to get him we would have to use pick 9 and hes worth it. because jake is supposedly an injury risk i would stay away from menzel later in the draft.

just my opinion but i reckon we will take vlastuin. hes probably been the most consistent performer of all the recruits in this nd.
id be happy with anyone of stringer vlastuin garlett at 9. that may change  by the time the draft comes around.
still think a well rounded draft for us would be something like
9 stringer who doesnt want a bloke who can play thru the midfield better than pavlich but his size. who doesnt want a bloke who can play as a tall forward as well as pavlich you get the best of both worlds with this bloke.
29  sam lowrie inside/ outside mid with good skills and knocks up getting the ball.

31 dean towers a big bodied out side running machine who regularly  breaks lines.

50  nick rodda, alex howson both look to be excellent kpd prospects and despite what people think we sure as hell can do with another developing kpd who is actually a kpd.

68 max duffy a highly skilled forward whos a stevie j size.

84 jack hannath cameron symonds ruckmen  both early 20s and show a bit.

the selections themselves may be way off but the type of player addresses our needs and gives us a well rounded draft.

your guess is a good as mine. havent seen much of most players outside of wa.   a snippett here a clip there the odd game .


its hard to give an informed opinion when you see little of them.
ive had my eye on stringer for a few yrs now and same goes for vlastuin so ive seen a bit of them in various ways. i tend to push for those ive seen rather than those i havent.

what ive seen id say he would be a very worthy pick 9. seems to tick just about every box ie kicking agility pace finding the ball size. seems to have come with a rush the last couple of months.
what i like is he seems to be very elusive and because of this seems to have time to make good decisions.

thats about all i have.

Yep for every pick used in the National and Pre-Season drafts we need a spot free on our senior list. At the moment we have 4 spots free. So if we were to use 4 National draft picks and then wanted to use a PSD pick we would either need to delist someone else or move Newy as a veteran listed player outside the senior list (at the moment he's a vet inside the senior list). Moving Newy outside the senior list though would mean one less rookie listed player.

BREAKING NEWS

Adelaide FC have resided to the fact that they will not partake in this years National Draft for salary cap breaches involving Kurt Tippett's secret third party deal.

It means that from Adelaide's first selection onwards, that teams will jump up one position in the draft with Adelaide's picks affectively being scraped.

It means that Collingwood will now enjoy 3 consecutive selections in the first round with picks 18, 19 & 20.

The first round will conclude at pick 23 before the start of the second round will see St Kilda with picks 24 & 25.

http://www.facebook.com/theafloffseason

If this is confirmed then our 2nd round picks will each move up one spot to 31, 33 and 42.

We have 2 'normal' rookies (Darrou, Verrier) as Gideon Simon is a international rookie who isn't included as one of the "4" rookies.

So it looks like we'll use the final free agency period after the National draft to recruit two more out of contract players to take our senior list to 40 players. That will then allow us to pick up two more rookies in the rookie draft.

Is it a money issue?

Personally I would prefer us to draft another two 18 years olds ... but we might as well use our 5th pick on Toy and our 6th on Petterd and give them a year contract, seems a bit pointless the final free agent. Would Toy qualify for that? He is only a second year player?

So why don't we just draft a Toy with a 5th pick instead of going to a free agent period (draft??)

We cannot take Toy in the Nat Draft because he hasn't nominated - simple really

So how can toy go to a club?

If two clubs want him.as a delisted free agent does he choose?

So, during the next free agency period would we have any concerns that another team may pay more and give him a longer contract and therefore take him before us? Do we need to delist another player to obtain him or are we just passing with our last ND pick and using it on him instead? Are we even interested?

He can go wherever he wants to go as a free agent.

I think it was covered off elsewhere, with 4 picks in the ND it will take Senior list to 38 players. We only have the 2 Rookies listed right now, and the list can go up to 44 (With any combination of 38 and 6 rookies, 39 and 5 rookies, 40 and 4 rookies).

Hope this helps.

i doubt we have concerns that someone else will offer him more. we will most probably offer what we think he is worth and if we are trumped so be it. they would have other options in mind.

the advantage of going free agency over drafting is we can offer a one year contract rather than the compulsory two for draftees

It's also possible since he is training with us, we told him not to nominate on the premise we will sign him as free agent. Takes the risk of letting him slide out of the equation.

So the draft order will remain as is with us having picks 9, 32, 34, 43, 88 and 100.

Emma Quayle saying 10 clubs out of the 18 have said "no" to drafting Dayle Garlett. She didn't have him in her top 25 list in the Age because of his off-field issues she's been told about which she said she wouldn't elaborate on. Given we have publicly said "good character" is an important criteria now with our recruiting, I'm guessing we are one of those 10 clubs that have said no.

Other people mentioned that wayne to Emma Quayle on twitter but she replied she didn't believe that was the case. There's a pic doing the rounds with him enjoying a ciggie. He of course was kicked out of the AIS so that wouldn't have gone down well with AFL recruiters in an era where they all pretty much rate character as important as was mentioned in the papers today. Many clubs seems reluctant now to recruit kids where time is going to be wasted being a nanny for them for little reward while being a distraction for the rest of the playing group.

Kevin Sheehan, the AFL national talent manager, said this year's draft was blessed with one of the deepest pools of talent for several years.

"Its depth is fantastic," Sheehan said.

"We've tested 220 players from all over the country and 150 to 180 of them you could entertain as good enough to be drafted or rookie listed, so some good young footballers are going to miss out at that bottom end.

"We are rapt with what we've got up front with the top 30 or 40 kids who are certain to be drafted.

"Some years it falls away after the top 20 and it gets a bit thin but we are quite bullish on the depth in this draft.

"There's some terrific talent out there.

Nothing really to do with us, but more just something for those doing the phantom draft and looking at late picks. My workmate who plays for Sandringham reckons Cockie to Saints, Cook to Collingwood, and is pretty sure Sikora will get picked up somewhere. Seems to be pretty sure of this because he was going to go play for Frankston for a more cemented spot in the firsts but decided to stay due to some being drafted and leaving spots.
