2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

Wouldnt be GC as they don't have a pick before us, maybe GWS but they'd need to convince Tippett to want to play for them. Hollow threat by Adelaide I'd suggest, they'd have nothing to gain by letting Tippet enter the draft.

If he is keen to go to Sydney to play for the Swans then he can't carry on if GWS select him at 3. Melbourne would jump hoops to get him at 4 as well.
If he goes to the pre-season then it's either GWS or GC

I think you are right that it's a hollow threat but as good as the Swans are they don't have a lot of options to make the Crows happy.

There might be a chance for us to get involved.

Not sure about the hollow threat. The Adelaide clubs have been very unforgiving of 'turncoats' in the past. Port were very proactive, and at The Crows, I seem to recall players suspected of intentions at other clubs were not given games at the end of the season ( unlike us with Ward ) . True or not true?

Tippet wouldn't nominate for the national draft, he will nominate for the pre-season draft, still resulting in either GWS or GCS picking him up.

Hard to get your headaround isn't it.
Big diference between us and the NRL, some cases in the NRL, Coaches or players have nominated their new club a season prior.
Ward though at least still did put in an effort for us when he new he was leaving, unlike Judas.

The AFL website has just posted the hot 20 with highlights and predicted draft range if we could snag Josh simpson at pick 21 that would be a steal WOW.

Thank you for this information. I will investigate now.

Do GWS have room in their salary cap? With all of their front-loaded contracts I thought they were close to their limit, hence the contract issues with Giles.

As per Luke Ball, he would nominate a miinimum contract price first one would expect.

The majority of this hot 20 are little guys with not much meat on the bone.

You are probably right RE GWS.

Will be interesting to see it play out.

From reading various forums, there's a relatively recent interest in Plowman for one of our picks.

Why?*

There will be something written about him in the media if all of a sudden interest in him has peaked.

Seems like a logical consideration for us

A rebounding defender who can play or tall or smaller (3rd tall)?

Will be interesting to see if he is taken above us, or by us. GWS need key position defenders and may well stockpile him.

Because in an article about Lake leaving there was a quote from a former Bulldogs player(Kretiuk) who coaches a rival TAC side saying he'd be a good fit for us.

2 + 2 = 5.

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

could be complete crap, but have heard we've told Brodie Murdoch we will be taking him in the draft, Brodie is the Brother of Geelong Rookie Jordan, he's from a very small town down near here called Pt Mac, can play and is quite an athlete.

If GWS don't take him it makes sence to me. I'd be quite content adding Plowman to Talia (rated by many as the premier back in last years draft), Roughy and Roberts. Plowman + O'rourke or Mayes who both fill needs would be a solid 5/6 for us.

What kind of player is Brodie and what pick do you think we'd take him at?

Cheers!
