Picks 31, 33 & 42. Any ideas?
« on: October 01, 2012, 08:24:40 PM »
I'm going the optimistic path that we get Tyson and won't have pick 9.  ;D

Who would you like in the second round?

For me,

Any two of Graham, Broomhead, Atkins, Simpson or Boston.

Would speak to GC about a trade of pick 29 or 31 for Boston and 44 with maybe Coleman-Broome thrown in as change. Provided GC can't fit these zone selections on their list they get a free upgrade and we get a player worth pick 30ish plus a lightning small forward and a bonus 3rd rounder.

If we end up with Tyson don't be surprised if our first pick is in the early 20's :shh :shh

FORMER Sydney Swans ruckman Daniel Currie looms a NAB AFL Draft smokey, with several Victorian clubs believed to be interested in the 200cm 23-year-old.

Currie spent five years in Sydney after being drafted as a 17-year-old from TAC Cup side Northern Knights at pick No.49 in 2006.

He was the only ruckman invited to the NAB AFL Draft State Combine in Adelaide on October 13.

Currie was coy on exactly who he had spoken to in the lead-up to November's draft, but at least three Victorian clubs are believed to have shown interest.

I wonder if one of the clubs interested is us given we need to find a ready-made back-up ruckman who can hold up at AFL level just in case either Maric or TV (who'll play forward mostly) go down. We know Gus isn't the answer and Browne has been delisted.

If the Swans couldn't turn him into a good ruckman, then no-one will.

not really

don't overrate the swans, you only hear of their successes but they have plenty of misses

check out their first round draft picks from the last 15 years, or trawl through all the recycled players they have recruited and check out how many didn't make it

also rucks take a longer to mature and sydney have never been able to develop their own (except Pyke) – they buy them: Ball, Everitt, Jolly, Mumford, Seaby

Stafford the only ruck of note they've developed that i can remember

I thought the grandfinal was friggen boring and the swans were lucky that the Hawks were playing like tired old women on the day.  They did what the Hawks did to Geebung when they snaffled one they shouldn't have and wouldn't have on any other day, like Carltank did to us back all those moons ago in 82.

They need to be big bodied 17 year olds ... someone needs to remind Richmond that we still need to blood cubs through, not just mature aged players!

Hawthorn are a far better side but they can go and get ****ed.

lee at 31  thru 50 would have been great have i mentioned im a fan.
seeing as dom tyson isnt coming id like us to have a crack at caddy with 9 failing that my preference is stringer or vlastuin.

at 29 i hope a kid called sam lowrie is available failing that josh simpson. both wa lads.

at 31 id be looking at dean towers  a big hard running mid with good skills.

at 50 i have rodda and howson both kpds and both wa boys

at 68 max duffy another wa boy classy med sized forward who should be able to go thru the midfield. like lee should have been drafted last yr or at least rookied.

as you can see its mainly wa boys i get to see so theres a big leaning toward them. if we went past 68 perhaps a young ruckman with the next pick.
all big bodies all good skills.
