2018 Draft Watch

Re: 2018 Draft Watch

Wish Hill was a local boy, would be a massive flight risk but the kid can play. Would love to somehow get Rozee, Hill and West in this draft I'm dreaming I know.

The other one would be Stack perched in the forward pocket.

Hill, Stack, Lynch is playing - only need to find another Harbrow to go with our Libba, West, Hunter, Boyd and Wallis and we're stacked the team with the ghosts of Bulldogs past.

Could also add Cordy, R Smith and McLean in there.

I keep reading this...why do people think Stack is a forward?

Sorry my mistake, I guess I saw the goals he has been kicking.

I wouldn't mind having Jarryd Harbrow back.

What goals?

Good player but is a contested ball winning mid.

Just realised I am thinking of Hill.

Re: 2018 Draft Watch

Even with the discounts, I just don't like buying something this year and having to pay for it next year not knowing the exact circumstances

I get that but why wouldn't we pay the same way other clubs have - collecting late picks from clubs happy to move up the order that are in our favour points wise?

I tend to think this is a viable option. Like BT, I'd prefer to get it all sorted out this year but for whatever reason if we don't have the currency to acquire the father son or NGA players we want then I wouldn't pass on them.

Re: 2018 Draft Watch

I don't mind Hately but right now it's production vs ceiling.
The Rozee, Curtis Taylor types are riskier but offer a higher reward. I love the way Rozee moves and I have been very impressed with Taylor based on what I've seen.

If O'Halloran can learn to find a little more of the ball as the season wears on I wouldn't complain if he shapes up as being in the frame for our pick too, his kicking to leading forwards was sublime and it's a significant area of weakness for us.

At this stage, I wouldn't be comfortable using our pick 5/6 on a player like Taylor and he will likely be gone by whenever it is we have an opportunity for another live pick.

Having a look at players who may or may not be draftable but likely to be available in the back half, does anyone want to throw up some names? I havent seen any TAC footy yet but as the year closes out I usually do and will be keeping an eye out for:/

Toby Bedford - spent a lot of time as an agile small forward in the champs, interested to see him spend some time further up field where I think he can be effective. Suits our list needs.

Ayton-Delaney - could potentially play a few roles between the wing, forward or back and seems a neat user although decision making may be a bit iffy.

James Blanck - haven't seen much of him but seems a hard working, dour defender who with some development could turn into a role player with the right AFL side.

This and free agency compo gets the job done owing to the large amount of points needed. So yes.

Re: 2018 Draft Watch

Kyle Dunkley is a player worth looking at this year if he doesn't go to the Swans as a father son selection. He's almost a clone of Josh

Re: 2018 Draft Watch

Looks to be like we might get pick 3 in the end
