2009 AFL Draft

[Judge Roughneck]

I am leaning towards John Butcher.

Reiwoldt vs. the Doggies
Hawkins vs. Collingwood

make it hard to go past him.

Reiwoldt needs a friend!

I know a lot of people here couldn't careless what he thinks but SEN asked Wallace about this upcoming draft and he said he did do some work looking at whose available with our recruiting staff while he was still with Richmond (just before the U18 champs). He said there were 8 to 10 clear standouts that were of equal quality to previous years but the draft is weaker from a depth point of view. Maybe a view into what our recruiting dept. are thinking.

Trengove was BOG for Sturt today in their 5 point Prelim win over Glenelg. He had around 25 touches and then to top it off took a game saving mark deep in defence in the final minutes to get Sturt in the GF next week.

You would think now after seeing Trengove today talk of the Dees going with Scully and Trengove is now on the money. In fact Trengove will probably go No.1 given he is starring in senior SANFL finals at just 18 years old. If one of them were to slip to us at pick 3 (say the Dees wanted a KPP at pick 2) then it would be Scully IMO.

Morton is a 3rd forward

need 1 more tall foward

With Sturt in the SANFL GF, Trengove won't be attending the draft camp this week.

Really wanted Trengove at the club, spewing the Dees will get him.

[Danog]

Temel, Mitchell and Carlisle all looked good on the weekend.

Yep we won't get him now. Trengove will become one of the best mids to come out of SA.

Kevin 'Shifter' Sheahan was on 3aw just now:

He was pumping up the smaller quicker guys. Clubs trying to find small forwards applying defensive pressure.
Christensen - Long and Rioli bloodlines.
Jetta


Russell and Rohan asked if Trengove and Scully would be 1 and 2. Shifter threw Butcher and Morabito into the mix still as well.

Butcher - best KPP. 197cm - 6' 6". Shifter said he kicked 1.9 for Maffra. At least he was dominating winning the ball.

Morabito - called him a Goodes type tall midfielder. Huge hands. Biggest mits of any of the kids at the draft camp.


He reckons 12-15 mature (20-something) state league guys will get picked up in the draft. They'll be tested at the state screenings.

136 officials from the 16 clubs up in Canberra at the draft camp.

They said the same thing about Aaron Fiora when he dominated the SANFL GF for Port Adelaide all those years ago.

NOTHING IS FOR CERTAIN!

Nigel Carmody on SEN talking about the draft

Richmond a quite keen on Dustin Martin. Strong body, ready to go, inside top 10, top 5 no doubt. Good kick not only accuracy but range also. Pick 4-5.

Fewster - not the greatest year for ruckman. Max Gorn who did his knee best of rucks, Dylan Jones and Gippsland power ruckman Nathan Vardy

Joel Roos (nephew of Paul) - rookie at best.

Josh Dyson - lively midfielder. Outside first two rounds

Lewis Jetta - lightning. 22 senior WAFL games for 14 goals. South of 2.08 in 20m sprint which is Danyle Pearce territory. Turns 21 in May. A caller said he's heard Jetta won't get past North at pick 5.

Butcher - Coming into season was vying for No.1 with Scully. Solid season. Fantastic mark but needs to work on his kicking for goal. Very windy day but kicked 1.8 for Maffra. Atheltic attributes are strong and takes a strong contested mark roaming around the 50 mark.

Griffiths - had a lot of injuries. Still should go in first round draft. Goods hands and leads up well. Just didn't have the fitness base this year.

Fitzpatrick - CFS this year. Typical gangly kick for a big guy. Pick 15-25.

Taylor Duryea - one of the best kicks in U18. Question mark on fitness level. Foot injury.

Dylan Lawson - Outside chance at best

Majak Daw - hasn't played a lot of footy having migrated from Sudan via Egypt. Impressive youtube highlights. Naitanui attributes. Maybe a punt post pick 50 or a rookie chance.

Majak's highlight video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZYr4YqzYK0

Ryan Bastinac - cusp of first round if not second round. Can win footy inside but also outside with good footskills. pick 15-25 but if someone likes him could go closer to top 10.

Sam Ezard - brother of this year's Magarey medalist. Rookie at best.

Daniel Talia - AA CHB U18. 193cm. Struggle to get outside top 10-12.

Will Johnson - Sandy Zebras. Rookie chance.

Stringrays could have 8 kids drafted with Scully and Bastinac leading the way.

Scully - hot tip to go No.1 to Melbourne. Top 2 (Scully and Trengove) won't be at the draft camp. All data from earlier in the season means Scully has it all.

Well if we go by your theory then lets trade all our picks on established players from other clubs!!

Well I am leaning this way as well, I was never keen on Butcher over Trengove but now I am more keen on Martin than Butcher as well. Butcher just seems to be lacking something, I would rather have Martin at the club, more skillfull.
