Will McEvoy be our prefered pick?

[Megamaguire]

Are we still after a long term ruck ????????????????


Ben McEvoy-199cm, 90kg-Murray Bushrangers. (Ruck, fwd) He has been on the radar for a while and has had good form this year. He was one of Country’s best performers during the champs playing in the ruck and up forward. He looks to have good endurance and moves around the ground well but he is not blessed with a lot of pace. His ruckwork is pretty good and he can read the play. His kicking skills are very good and he can take a good contested mark. He is the type of ruckman that can ruck for a good portion of the match. Where he goes in the draft will be interesting.
Pick 10 to 30 .

I realy like Cyril Rioli
still it all depends whos still there at 9

[Otiman]

Would take Palmer if he lasts that long.

McEvoy and Palmer are both unlikely to make it to #9. Looking at someone like Vespremi or Rance.

[Riewoldting]

Would love Masten but he won't last until 9

Probably go to West Coast (#3)

[vacuous space]

I hope we don't go down that road actually. The concern with McEvoy is that he's a bit of a tweener, not mobile enough to be a key forward, not a dominating physical presence in the ruck. One of the gun mids is likely to drop to our pick, especially if a couple of the teams go KPP.

!

yes...King is only good for 2 years...maybe 3.

Gardi is maybe 0...maybe 3.

VR is unknown

[stinger]

i'm just flowering relieved we kept our first round pick...not happy about losing the second...probably could have got schneider for our third rounder and given a miss on the dumpster.....


but...oh well......

...happy about king....charlie is just the bonus tipped into the deal....to make sure we took king.....

i would highly doubt we would go for rioli now we have recruited the small forward we needed in Schneider

I agree.....

we also already have Kosi...and Brooks who are of similar heights...and kosi is way better.

I would go for another with say our pick 42..or 58

Doubtful, Sydney wanted to recoup the 2nd rounder they traded for Mattner.

I think there's a good chance there'll be a good one available at 42 or 58. There's supposed to be decent ruck talent in this draft, and a couple of the teams that need a young ruckman got one at the trade table. Carlton will get Kreuzer. Collingwood got Wood. Adelaide picked up Moran. Melbourne got Meesen. Doesn't mean they won't take a ruckman, but it means they're less likely to IMO.

[rexy]

Kruezer will be our preffered pick, obviously wont be available but it is my beleif that most clubs basically rate the list of potentials from one to 100 and take the highest player available left on their list. Could not imagine we would use pick 9 on a kid we did not rate as best available but as best player for a position.

AFL description

Speedy Northern Territory defender Rioli could hardly come from more celebrated lineage, boasting both Richmond great Maurice Rioli and Essendon champion Michael Long as uncles.

this kids slicker than owl shyt

[claystreet]

Cyril impressed during the anaerobic testing on day one when he was third out of 63 entrants in a series of sprint tests,"
"It basically shows the player has the areobic capacity to continually sprint,

excuse me?

[milney044]

i say just go for the best available pick as we have already addressed our biggest holes.

[stinger]

or go for selwood......

[skeptic]

I'd rather Cyril... seems like the kind of player we need... some genuine blistering pace

[SaintBot]

i'd rather Blake in the ruxk than Rix... I just don't see what u get from playing Michael... a poor man's Trent Knobel

hey skeptic....off topic but next time you change your avartar please put a dud in it

originally it was GT - gone
then it was G-Train - gone

could i suggest bla...oh wait, we wouldnt want to lose our 9th best player would we now

[st_Trav_ofWA]

dont think westcoast will get masten they will prob take palmer first
and freo will take masten (providing no one beats them to it )

[mad saint guy]

Just take the best available midfielder. Don't care if he's a plodder or doesn't like getting his hands dirty. Just get a kid who will rack up possessions in the midfield and use the ball well.

[bigcarl]

go for the best available player, regardless of type. you can always find a spot in your team for a good footballer

[Unforgiven]

Best availiable mid

[S.A Saint]

what about ebert? what pick do you guys reckon he wil get taken at. Has got a solid build, and can play both in the midfiled and as a small to medium forward. what are your suggestions at getting him even though he said he would love to play at port, he did mentioned that if he got picked up by another club they it didnt really matter that much.

[Devilhead]

My 3 cents - we are screaming out for a full back - Rance for me

Most of the gun mids will probably be gone by pick 9 - Cotchin, Masten, Palmer.

Schneider can run through the midfield in bursts and Armitage and Geary (if promoted) will hopefully step up

We miss Penny badly and with Hudghton continually injured and 1 year older our backline needs shoring up

Rance sounds like the best back in the draft .... do it I says!!!
