2014 draft watch

Re: 2014 draft watch

I don't rate him that highly but I agree he has some eye catching traits. I would only consider him at one of the last picks.

Besides, trying to cheer him on at games would be a little awkward.

I mean "Go Viojo-Rainbow" doesn't really roll off the tongue does it!

Curious to know what his nickname is.

Whichever team he lands at I think his unique name will help him become a bit of a favourite.

Hope he has more to offer than Zephaniah Skinner!

This from the Hun for one of the players I'm hoping we land. It's interesting that Sam Landsberger mentions that the Bulldogs would be hoping he slides though to pick 26.

Vickers-Willis

There aslo a slight chance that his team mate Brayden Maynard could still be available around our selections.

I see Michael Ford is their coach. I hope they have his attack on the ball.

Ed Vickers-Willis sounds like the "good citizen" type we seem to target, but the whispers I'd expect one of either him or McDonald to be a selection for us

Second Oscar McDonald article on afl.com in less than a week. His PR team is working overtime.

Re: 2014 draft watch

From those AFL.com articles above we are linked to:

Oscar McDonald
North Melbourne (pick 25) and the Western Bulldogs (26 and 27) are in the mix for the big and strong defender, while several clubs later in the second round are also keen.

Ed Vickers-Willis
Essendon and Carlton could take a look in the late teens, but he might get through to North Melbourne's pick No.25. Bulldogs ready to swoop if available at No.26 and No.27. Hawthorn, back at No.31, is interested too.

Daniel Mckenzie
Has been interviewed by every club, so has strong interest. Likely to fit in between pick No.20 and No.30, with North Melbourne, the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood a chance.

Connor Menadue
Essendon and Carlton are in the mix with their top-20 picks, and the Bulldogs might consider too.

Re: 2014 draft watch

Has there ever been more hyphens in a draft ?
Quite incredible

[Bulldog Revolution]

Re: 2014 draft watch

I'd love to get both McKenzie and Menadue and 1 of Vickers-Willis or McDonald - whoever is still available at 39

All good players who would add something to our list. I'd add Lukas Webb as being in consideration for one of our early selections and if he slides down the order a bit maybe Brayden Maynard.
Both of these guys have been working with Tom Couch (Son of Paul) and have improved their fitness substantially this year.
There is an article on Fox where Webb's 3km running has improved by 30 seconds from the start of the year to the combine and his beep test improved from 13 - 3 to 14 - 8. Smart kids to get a good trainer this year to help improve their draft chances.

My original thoughts were to try and balance our selections with a mixture of KPP and midfielders but really we just need to upgrage on some of the younger guys who have departed.

I'm leaning towards Vickers-Willis, Webb or McKenzie for the early picks but I think there will be a lot of suitable players for us.

Re: 2014 draft watch

I reckon Lukas Webb would absolutely kill it off a back flank, really competitive one on one and sublime foot skills.

He could become a good player to switch into the midfield as well. We need to players with his sort of skill level.
