2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

What would we have now that would interest GWS? Pick 21?
GWS now already have picks 1,2 (possibly pick 3 from Dee's if the go for Hogan) and pick ) pick 12 and 20.
So 4 confirmed picks in the top 20, and another one for MD2.

Are they really wanting 6 first round picks? Would they even use them all?

Very good question. I think they only have 5 or 6 vacant spots open at the moment (not entirely sure?), so Anderson may not be needed. He may have to go through the draft after all.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

No they don't need to give up anything. They have the option of keeping them or trading them but they only have the rights to 2 of them (most likely Anderson and Jake Neade). GC also has the rights to two QLD players and can do likewise.



I think he's worth that and I hope we get him.

Thanks for clarifying that Bulldogsman.

The GWS and Gold Coast concessions were far more substantial than I realised. They seem never-ending and to be at no cost to the expansion teams.

It's hard to watch expansion clubs win premierships and get incredible concessions, while we go through another rebuild with no help at all from anybody (including our own players. Thanks Ward, Harbrow and Lake.)

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

So are we interested in Lachlan Plowman, Lachie Whitfield, Oliver Wines, Jimmy Toumpas, Ben Kennedy and Jake Stringer.

Pick 5 for Toumpas
Pick 6 for Whitfield
pick 21 for Wines
pick 41 for Stringer

Do you think Stringer will still be around at pick 41?

Just thought he might be considered a risk with the report of having a broken leg which put him out for 12 months

Sorry, but I don't think any of that will happen hotdog. I think Whitfield and Toumpas will be gone at picks 1 & 2. Wines top 10 or just outside. Stringer will go 1st round, I think maybe outside the top 10.

Would you hazard a guess as to who we should select at 5 and 6?

Plowman, Garlett, O'Rourke and Macrae probably in that order for me.

Thanks Bulldogsman.

Garlett seems to be back in favour with draft-watchers after some earlier concerns about commitment and behaviour.

I don't think his commitment is a problem, I can't be sure on that though. There's some concerns on his behaviour, but mjp mentioned it's not that bad and Garlett's been pretty honest about it in the media. Given his talent, I think he's worth the small risk involved.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

With Lake gone I think we'll take Plowman/O'Rourke on talent and Mayes will fall to Port which they'll love. We'll get some good players but I don't see our midfield speed getting fixed with the early picks which I had hoped for in Martin. Still should be solid but GC and GWS will own the flag for 10 years the way they've been set up. Their salary caps are the only things that may save everyone else long term. Grrrrrrrrr

Commitment issues arose from missing AIS sessions by sleeping in I think. All seems to be behind him now anyway - it seems it was a wake up call and he listened and responded the right way.

Plowman's rebound work has been talked up by more than a few talent-watchers.

If we have two bigger guys playing with Plowman playing a more rebound role with Wood & JJ, we may actually be developing a defensive unit capable of rebounding the ball beyond a strategy of "get it to Murphy".
