2006 Potential Draftees thread

3 standouts from Jackos list

Leuenberger but he may go early
McKenzie if we are looking for a KPD
and my tip...just like the races
Clinton Benjamin...Plough wont be able to resist adding to speed fleet

[Jackstar]

Thought you would like those "'Ramps ""

[PuntRdRoar]

3 winks Jacko...Am I supposed to know something or have you picked up a couple of aussie birds with the traditional Kookla strategy which gets em all in  and u wanna send one my way ...i got nothing better to do just at the moment .

[Jackstar]

I will send them your way if you want. They have 2 arms and 2 legs and are breathing , thats a start  Along as the dont barrack for Collingwood!

[Jackstar]

By the way, Benjamin can run 10.5 sec for 100 metres

[PuntRdRoar]

At the moment Id have my money on RFC taking CB at 8. I cant see us not taking him at 8. If hes grown in height from 187-188cm  then that will make almost an impossibility for Plough not taking him.

[Jackstar]

I reckon your right

[PuntRdRoar]

Try these /
Jack Riewoldt
Matthew Leuenberger
Leroy Jetta
Albert Proud
Bachar Houli
Clinton Benjamin
Eric MacKenzie
Thomas Hislop

As I said I sorta favor Benjamin as the first priority 2) Matthew Leuenberger and 3) Eric McKenzie

Im not such a big fan of Riewoldt, I could be wrong, Admittedly I havent seen him alot, but something irks me with Riewoldt... I hope we miss Riewoldt

Jetta I liked at the carnival, speed, gets the footy, but we have a problem, its similar to Tambo ... Tambo needs to be in a good side to show exactly how he can devastate a side, therefore I prefer the Benjamin types who are 6'2- 6'3 who will go onto a wing or in midfield and then take a turn from the goalsquare as a leading FF type.

Bachar Houli, Many rate him, people suggest hes got a dodgy back or something, from what I saw, Id prefer we miss Bachar as well. I cant see him playing key position seemed to lack the speed that Wallace would want.

Albert Proud, Alot of people rate him, I think he'll be ok but Im not a big fan.

Tom Hislop- I like coz hes a tough inside mid, and we need to do something in this regard coz we get smashed in the middle, Hislop would be my 4th pick out of Jackos group.

Of course all the above also requires that there are no surprise and someone like Thorp doesnt slip down ... which I doubt.

[Jackstar]

Bachar Houli either suffers from Shin Plints or stress fractures

[bluey_21]

Benjamin, u serious ramps. He is a pure athlete who is very raw in terms of footballin ability. Could become a good player but is a masive risk, definite change he could slip through to 2nd rd

If we can't get Gumby, Hansen or Thorp I reckon go for Collard - smooth and elusive Dal Santo type midfielder foward. Excellent athletic ability, sublime skills and sharp footy brain

[PuntRdRoar]

For what Wallace wants Benjamin fits the profile thats basically all im saying.

[bluey_21]

For what Wallace wants Benjamin fits the profile thats basically all im saying.

He sure does fit Wallaces profile but geez don't think he is worth a top ten pick. Collard > Benjamin IMHO

Cheers Jack  (got James Sellar down twice).

The draft camp results will affect the final order but no surprises seeing Benjamin at our pick 8 with Plough as coach lol. Hopefully the youngsters' heights and weights will be updated and released publicly. If Benjamin is still growing then what a bonus that would be. I hope we don't go for Jetta - too small.
