Draft Strategy

[bluey_21]

Personally wouldn't mind Dowler as he is a young tall, same goes for Meesen.

Some guy on PRE Rumour Page says that Dowler has been speaking with Miller a lot in the last month.

 

If he comes it will be as a forward IMO, and could well mean bye-bye to Schulz

Is Dowler still struggling with his hip after the car accident? I'd be surprised if Hawthorn let him go after just 2 years unless they thought he won't be the player we all thought he could be prior to the accident.

According to a poster on BF we are interested in a kid called something Sanfilipo.

First off he is a gun and richmond are looking to draft him with a late pick in this years draft, but that looks unlikely at the moment because with every game I watch him play he keeps getting better and better, and it looks as if he will go late 1st round or early second round. The kid is a ball magnet and he plays like he has the ball on a string, He is getting BOG after BOG in the aps this season, is there anything this kid can't do

Anyone got any mail on him?

Lids also gets a huge rap by another poster on page 2.

What's with the Northern Knights love this year? 

Seems it's superstar city there.

Looking like having 3 of the top 10 draft picks from one team if the hype is correct.    ???

yeah i agree ...

the last Northern Knights player we got ... he was All-Australian ... Adam Pattison ... and he can't kick ... but i still think ruck is his go and he is ok ...

there are other TAC Cup teams ... Calder Cannons are a champion team for years and we hardly looked at them ... though ...

when we have drafted Calder players it hasn't worked out ...

Rodan, Limbach, White, Hartigan ...

i know a bloke who does the stats for the Western Jets and he is a follow Tiger and he believes "Mitch Brenner" we should get !!!

[mightytiges]

There's a few Calder Cannons now with Coburg so we might be picking up a few as rookies down the track through our alignment. Calder -> Coburg -> Richmond  .

talk about pressure, Cotchin is already being talked up as Judd II on BF

So was Lids in his last year of junior footy. Just ridiculous to make such statements. Cotchin has been compared to Judd, Lids and Murphy so far. The kid hasn't even been drafted yet.

bump

A change in my draft.

1.   Matt Kreuzer
17.     Tom Bellchambers
18.   Andy Otten
34.     Brad Jones
50.     Aaron Joseph
66.     Sam Staveniuter

PSD: Charman, Dowler, Maric, Meesan. In order.

Rookies: Hall, Nye. Zomer / Gazzo.

Henderson and Collier are definitely two I reckon we should look at in the 2nd round

won't last until there. If they did great.

[bluey_21]

Collier could definitely last that long

Henderson is probably more wishful thinking, but the fact that he has had a long-term injury (broken leg IIRC) means he may drop 

Lachie would be exactly what we need as a big and athletic KPP

that would change my picks for sure. Have a go Bluey yourself.

I probably don't know as many young draftees as you but I will give our first 3 picks ago (assuming we get a PP).

1) Cotchin - Kreuzer or Cotchin is fine by me, but would prefer Cotchin as he is a tough ball extractor, plus there are some very good ruck prospects a bit later in the draft. Good size, tough, clean, natural inside midfielder, will allow Lids flourish on a wing

17) McEvoy - Probably wishful thinking. Has the talent to be top 10, but sure do wish he slips through as he would be perfect for us. Really mobile, versatile and athletic. Also an excellent tap ruckman

18) Henderson - 196cm and big-bodied but athletic KPP. Exactly what we need for a KPP post. More of a forward, but could be converted to a backman. Also has excellent kicking skills for a big man

I would be happy with that for sure.
