    2012 Draft - Who do you like?

    Since the season is over and we look forward to the draft of 2012 it is time to start to look at the young talent on offer. This draft is said to be a ripper so who do you like and what sort of player would be of benefit to the Dogs.

    For me and outside midfielder / forward type -

    Dayle Gartlett, 18yo 181cm, has had some personal issues but appears to be over them and is a real talent and making big moves in WA. Plays mid/fwd

    Jackson Macrae, midfielder 18, 188cm - one of the most exciting prospect outside of Viney. He would be a great pickup can go forward great outside run.

    Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

    Leaving Whitfield, Daniher and Viney out of it, I like the three SA boys.

    Toumpas
    Mayes
    Kennedy

    Then Gartlett and O'Rourke. No interest in Grundy or Shaw really. Wines is good but just more of what we already have.

    Toumpas, suffered a back injury or hip injury (something like that) is it likely to flare up? Agree he is a talent for sure, can play anywhere in the midfield and runs like the wind.

    Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

    I like all of those names. MacRae has really stepped up late from what I have read.

    I also like Tim Sumner from SA. Did a couple of things in the under 18 champs that were a bit special so hopefully he is there a bit later on.

    Will anyone nominate Hunter?

    Hunter is a bit of a wild card for mine..Will he be a player or wont he, he has got the potential to be a really good forward if he come togther.....Do you take a chance on him - ie put him in the Bank I dont know.

    We here are scathing in failed draft picks so what to do.

    Hunters had the dreaded OP having an effect on his form this year could be a bonus getting him lower in the draft, he did kick 6 a cple of weeks ago even with OP got in the bests the week after too
    Bring back the biff

    Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

    Cant wait for the videos, but on description only

    Dream draft would be Toumpas and Martin.

    Reality draft would be
    pick 5: Mayes. Genuyine quick, excellent kick, can also play forward
    pick 6: Orourke: inside/outside player, noted for ability to spread, work through traffic and hit targets under pressure.

    You would hope so cause that will open up a lot for us. But I would think that unwritten rule of other clubs dont chase a father son will kick in.

    Wish that happened with Cordy, had to use 1st round because of St Kilda.

    + 1 here .
    One for next year is the SA kid Scharenberg ( spelling) made a great debut for Glenelg by all accounts. Watched him in the championships and he is quality.
    Tom Boyd ( young key forward) and Billings

    He was real good on the weekend and had a good champs. I was hoping he might last to our 2nd round pick, but I doubt it. I would prefer others for our 1st round picks.

    I'd love Garlett if it wasn't for his behavioural problems. Toumpas would be great, but more then likely will be gone.

    So realistically I'd like Mayes and Plowman for our first couple picks. O'Rourke, Simpson and Kennedy I would also be happy with. Stringer is an interesting one, I would've seen him play 8 or 9 times this year but I'm just not convinced. I think how he tests will be important.

    I hope we can get Martin or Hogan in the mini draft though.
