2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

I can confirm that. My only concern is he doesn't find a heap of the ball and (in my mind) does his best work receiving rather than winning his own ball. One to keep an eye on over the next few weeks for sure, think there will be some interest late 3rd round onwards.

Thanks Griff#16 - thats the sort of info I was looking for. I can only go off the SANFL replays, which is limited.
I also noticed that he wasnt the quickest, but I thought that could be overcome by being a good user of the ball. We do need some good users who have an "outside" ability so to be able to win their own ball would be nice, but we cant have everything I guess, especially if you think he should only be a 3rd rounder.
So would you say he's a bit like Josh Hunt, looks like Tarzan, but plays like Jane?

Nice post mjp, thanks. Going to be very interesting to see where Garlett ends up.

I see Kennedy as a legit midfielder - T&T, would you agree?

Absolutely. Is a freak. If the dogs recruit Ben Kennedy i'll be the second (or possibly first) happiest bloke in Adelaide.


Is Bigger frames (but much shorter) than Toumpas.

Is the Tony McGuinness of the next decade.

Dayle isn't a head case. Should go pick 1 or 2 on talent

I would agree that he's the next best talent behind Whitfield. If his behavioural problems aren't that bad I'd be happy to get him, but I can't help be a little worried especially after what's happened with Libba.

Noticed on BF they're talking up O'Rourke.
Any thoughts?

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

O'Rourke sounds pretty good by what I've been reading. And the more I read about Stringer the more worried I'm becoming I also think it will be Mayes and Stringer come draft day.

Very good player but I think our picks are too early to have him right in the consideration.

Why are you worried?

I really liked him. The three standouts at the champs for me were Daniher, Gartlett and O'Rourke (I only saw the two rounds in Melbourne).

Just thinking about Hunter does anyone think we will take him. He seems to be a mid who
Kicks goals and we probably will get him in a round 2 or 3. What's his attitude like does anyone know?

Ledge, your probably best going to the thread about him, plenty of speculation there.

I guess they're talking up his leg a lot and some are saying it will be a very nervous club that selects him. Are players ever the same after breaking their leg? I guess it depends on the break, but the picive seen of stringers break didn't look good (where the break was). Maybe someone who has recently seen him play can shed some light to ease my mind a bit

I've seen quite a lot of him this year. He had a big limp earlier in the year, looks to be gone now. He had a nice explosion of pace as a 16 year old, not so much now. I've seen signs in his last two matches that he can get back to his best though, his running and skills have improved a fair bit. I'm still not convinced, but the signs a much, much better since the champs.

Depends how early - Voss wasn't hindered after a bad break in 98, although he barely trained and played in serious pain in 99 by all accounts. Given the dynasty of 2001-03, his recovery is probably the best that could hve been hoped for (still managed 279 games as a player too).

Voss did his young which is a point of difference between him and Nathan Brown. Stringer already playing ahead of schedule should provide some comfort to recruiters one would think.

The Dogs have Hunter rated as 3rd round pick and will let him go if others bid earlier.
