ITK's Who are taking with 7 & 8 and our two other picks?

Post: # 1706161Post damienc »

No rumours. No nothing.

I know being an ITK around these parts carries many burdens, can I say this: don't be frightened by the white noise.

How about sharing some intell on who we are looking at grabbing please?????

I would be happy with any two of the following: Brayshaw, Bonar, Higgins, Balta, Stephenson.

But the club must have some leanings....some talent in mind to fill the slots so feel free to unburden yourself.

You, and all of us (apart from one or two malcontents) will be better for the info, believe me.

Besides it is an extremely dull time of year ( no footy) and this will cheer us up no end.

Over to you.

Well... it's pbly dependent on what happens with the first 6 picks

And no ITK in their right mind would reveal our strategy this far out from the draft

An ITK wouldn't last long if they blabbed on a forum.
Anybody can read this stuff

Who could an ITK answer this question unless they know what the first 6 picks are going to be?

Surely our strategy is simply best available when we get our picks?

If that isnt our strategy than heaven help us.

The Trout and Co would be compiling a desired list for every single one of our draft picks.

On draft day, its as simple as crossing off those players names if a club picks them before us.

I would like to see the AFL do what the NFL does on draft day in regards to being able to upgrade to a higher pick with another club's pick and swaps of picks for example. That would spice up the draft.

This is 1 example of NFL and what can happen on draft day:

See this is the type of post that makes we wonder if your really daft or are just being antagonistic.

In the context of the sentence, you didn't grasp that strategy refers to what order they rate the talent?

We all know that Uniake, Dow and Rayner won't be there.
NMelb will almost certainly take Cerra.

So the only question is whether Collingwood go for a tall or take Coffield or Brayshaw....and the same for Freo whether they take Naughton or Brayshaw.

We have a 50/50 chance for Brayshaw falling to us.
About an 80% chance of Fogarty and Stephenson.
100% Higgins/ O'Brien etc

The slight hope is that NM will believe the Bonar hype and grab him on a wing and a prayer.

And Pies will take a tall, and Cerra miraculously falls to us.
Cerra and Brayshaw in a heartbeat in that case.


Nee!

I am NITK (not in the know) but I suspect it'll be out of this group of players, depending on how the cards fall.

Coffield
O'Brien
Brayshaw
Higgins
Cerra
Clark
Bonar


The highlight reels can be misleading, and really don't offer a great deal of insight into how they play.

My guess is that the club will focus on guys who can kick well (well, I'm hoping). By all reports, Stephenson butchers it, so I'd be surprised if we went with him.

Too true, cwrcyn, about the 2-minute highlight clips. I've always thought it would be interesting to show a "blooper" or clangers clip just to balance things up. I'm pretty sure our two will come from the seven you nominated, which would not be a bad thing. I'm hoping we get two of Cerra, Coffield, Brayshaw and Higgins.

"No, you didn't."

"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."

Clint Jones' highlight reel has music from The Three Stooges.
Can anyone beat that?

Should be best available every time and not get too cute with strategy and theories.
We took Mc Cartin over Petracca because we saw the Boyd contract & didn't want to pay multi million dollar contracts for a full forward.
2 seasons later elite mid fielders are demanding that sort of money.
I still believe Petracca was the best player in that draft.

I didn't know The Three Stooges had music.

You'd be going really bad if you have the Benny Hill music playing I would reckon!
