Logically, who do you think we will end up picking at pick 15?

[tigs2011]

I want it to be Adams but think he's gone. I voted other (McKenzie or Dev Smith)

[RedanTiger]

After reading Quayle's l;ist in the Age I think we will take Tom Sheridan at 15.

And Jordan Murdoch at 26 as a medium Half Forward.

From twitter:

owenhlewis Owen Lewis: 
"Are the Tiges going to get anyone decent at 15?"

Brett Anderson from Inside Football: 
"Yep. Docherty and Ellis the two most likely right now."

owenhlewis Owen Lewis:
"don't know who I want more....probably docherty"

Brett Anderson from Inside Football: 
"Definitely Docherty.....gun!"

Heard Emma Quayle said the same thing. We will get Docherty if Lions overlook him. GWS haven't even interviewed him so doubt they take him.

Weren't they saying the same thing last year about Heppell? The Lions overlooked him and so did we

Yeah but Gerks they were picks 5&6 and he only slipped to 8. This year we're starting at 15

[gerkin greg]

when i wink you better listen tiga 

 

got it?

[The Cotch]

I honestly can't see Docherty being available at our pick. Unless Adams, Docherty, Sumner, are available, Kersten by the length of the Flemington straight for me. I wouldn't be disappointed with Kavanagh or Ellis either at 15.

At 26, Ellis, Markworth, Murdoch or Williams.

If we land that exacta we've already had a fine off-season.

[gerkin greg]

Funny how you knock McKenzie for having no endurance yet apparently Kersten ticks enough boxes for you to overlook his horrible tank

and he's an inbetweener too

shocking stuff The Cotch

Sorry Gerks, thought it was a nervous tick.

[The Cotch]

Kersten ticks all the boxes but his tank yes.

McKenzie on the other hand.....

Because my opinion differs to you, it's shocking? I've told you why I don't rate McKenzie.

Adams / Docherty / Sumner would be fantastic at pick 15 and I would be extremely pleased with any of the 3. My opinion differs to you on Kersten / McKenzie though, I don't rate Kersten but will admit I have not seen enough of him.

At 26 to get Markworth is robbery (I don't think he will be available), Todd Elton for mine at 26. My preference for the 2 picks are:

Pick 15 - Sam Docherty
Pick 26 - Todd Elton

I think there are plenty of good kids available between pick 15 - 26 so we should get 2 quality players here. Interesting for mine with what road we take with pick 55, but not fussed if we get the first 2 picks right.

[gerkin greg]

Sorry Gerks, thought it was a nervous tick.

Apology accepted. However, I reported your post to teach you a lesson. It really is for your own good.

Because my opinion differs to you, it's shocking? I've told you why I don't rate McKenzie.

Usually I let you have your say but not this time. You've told me nothing but LIES!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Elton will be gone at 25.

Also gerks, you say Kersten is an 'in-betweener'.

What would you call Fevola, Jack Darling? Same height.

What did you call Jack Riewoldt when he was first drafted?

So much is made about a few 3cm's.

Kersten is a footballer, give me that every day of the week.

By the way, this discussion is all academic, I'm still trying to figure out how Kersten will last to 15.

For what it's worth, I doubt Docherty, will be available at our pick. If he is, agree, we should draft him. If not, and assuming Sumner, Adams and co are also taken before us, well then we should draft on best available, and I have no doubt we will do that. The difference between taking an Ellis at 15, or taking someone similar at 26 is not much. The midfielders in this draft are all pretty similar from 15 to 40 unless there's a slider.

If we have Kersten at 15, we clearly have the 2nd best key forward in the draft staring us in the face. Let me tell you a little bit about Shane after having watched him quite a bit for the last two years.

First of all, he's the best mark in the draft, period. Even better than Patton. He reads the game so well. Already remind you of anyone? He tested top 10 in the clean hands test at the Comine, confirming his ability below his knee for a big guy. He suffered an elbow injury this season, so he missed the National Champs and a lot of the Colts season.

He came back and kicked 18 goals in the last 3 home and away matches. He then kicked 5 in the Grand Final and this is all coming from a very low fitness base. As an under age player in last years National Champs, he also kicked 15 goals. He just missed out being selected to GWS as a 17 year old.

So Kersten has a reason why he didn't test well at the Combine for endurance, he was injured all season.

Yes I do rate Kersten, and if he's available at our pick, I hope we pick him.

People say, 'we don't need another key forward', yeah, I bet you're the first people to complain if god forbid anything ever happened to Jack and Ty that we have no depth.

I've also heard, 'by drafting Kersten, what does that say to Griffiths?'.

Nothing.

Hopefully Griff makes it. Then Ty can play in the ruck. Wow, depth, scary thing isn't it?
