Guess our Pick 27

[zippadeee]

We have heaps of HBFs or guys who can play there. Our scoring is our major issue: our greatest need is a fast, hard-running, mobile marking forward tall like a Gunston or Crows' Lynch. JR8 is forced to try and play this role but just doesn't have the leg-speed and it moves him too far away from goal. This is especially a problem now with no TV. Griff is needed to lead up too and present in marking contests, plus do ruck back-up. I hope Cal Moore can come on in this role but no certainty.

So maybe Battle or Kerr, or one of the other JRs if they are versatile enough to play F and B, but it all depends on whose still there.

Cal Moore :rofl
He isnt VFL quality

 

[leon]

Early days yet. Given he is playing VFL for his 2nd year, you must be wrong.

 

[spook]

i'll guess (and hope) Begley.

 

[The Mole]

Fingers crossed Berry

 

[Blind Turn]

Berry every day of the week

Agree on the need, but big pass on Battle for leysy.

Actually think he'll struggle to get drafted on Friday.

Happy to defer to the opinion of anyone who really follows the draftees closer than myself. But I'm certain we need forwards and was only interested in Battle as he is supposed to be one of the most reliable kicks. Although Markov may be able to play forward eventually, lacks a strong enough body perhaps just yet. Cal Moore same probably and a questionable kick. Can't find the stat I want right now, but we are one of the least effective clubs for scoring from F50 entries.

Not sure how we will even replace TV's 25-30 goals. Rioli and Lloyd improving but still need far more offensive power to make any serious inroads over 2017. Lennon - who knows? Not any surprise - the biggest challenge in the game is to score goals.

Like Begley's offensive game; maybe a forward pick-up who could even step up for 2017 with his strong physique; then grab a KPF with first rounder next year. If available.

A VFL gun. Like Lambert.

Hopefully a 200 gamer

Not sure about that.

Re the 25 goals reckon Lennon will have more impact than TV did over the last couple of years.

I won't bother asking what rational grounds you are basing that on. I'll just call you a super optimist.

But hope you're right. Landing a regular place in the AFL team would be a good start.

 

[easy_tiger]

I reckon its going to be a chaos draft.

I'll go a big roughie to fall to 30.

Will Brodie.

 

[Hanny]

Pat Kerr - with vickery and lids going out the door.

if we land Brodie I will end my Pick 6 criticism right there and then!!!

 

[FitenFitenWin]

Going completely by what you guys that know what you're talking about reckon:
Drew
Himmelberg
Kirby

 

[Eat the rich]

Himmelberg. Underrated.
Parfitt for our next.

 

[turk-d-tiger]

How good would it be if one of Venables,SPP or Witherden were still available at #27

 

[craig]

Drew
Himmelberg
Kirby

Will likely have to spend a pick on Kirby to get him, word is he wont be available after today.

Id like to see the Tigers take a chance on someone like Tyler Keitel as a rookie 194/195cm KPD/KPF swingman as cover, has been doing well in WA, he could be nicknamed Harvey or Mr White or the Wolf ;D.
