Goodvibes 3,596 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Wow I just made the previous comment without looking at the last few posts. See what I mean?
The Big Ticket 94 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Bit random, but Dustin Martin seems like a bit of [censored], any one else notice? I think his a bit of a megahead.(ego, not literally) Yeah, that noticed that too. Saw a few interviews on the TAC cup show, he seemed to very arrogant. Doesn't really matter though, he'll be a gun.
Tap..Tap..Tappy.. 2 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Can someone tell me what I am missing with Tapscott. Best kick in the draft allegedly but he looks like this years Rockliff for mine. Why would we take him at 11 instead of a tall or a true mid? Where does he fit as an AFL footballer? I am missing something I think.... In the All Australia U18...Described at draft camp as the new Leigh Matthews..Fairly decent wrap... If you haven't watched him play you are missing a lot.. Very very well built for his age..tough..strong..good overhead...very long kick...good goal sense.. We need players that have some balk...we can't have 20 skinny kids running around..he already has a made body..and can play straight away.. I would pick him up at 11 if he was still there...I think he will get snapped up by Port..

The role of attacking Half Forwards is becoming even more important to teams game plans, Chapman, SJ, LeCras and Porps all had stellar years. The latter two kicking 110 goals between them.
H_T 3,049 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Posted November 13, 2009 He definitely is a solid unit and has a mature body. Strong physique.
Its Miller time 6 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 1. Trengove 2. Scully 11. Black 18. Taylor 34.Gawn 50. Patrick PSD. Thorp Black and Watts should make a very moblie hard working strong marking pair and run the bigger defenders off there legs. Combine that with the natural Brilliance of Jurrah, Taylor and Patrick rotating forward and up the ground and you have a very mobile dangerous forwardline. Gawn being a big unit will give Scully and Trengove first use of the ball. Thorp's a longshot but little risk using a psd pick.
the fork 357 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 1. Scully 2. Trengove 11. Talia / Tapscott 18. Vardy / Melksham 34. TBA 50. Patrick PSD. Thorp Anyone who thinks that Tom isn't mature enough to hold the number one mantle should read about him in The Herald Sun this morning. Talia if available, then Tapscott Vardy would be great at 18, but if Melksham lasted this long I have a feeling we'll take him. 34 - unsure, will update... 50 - Think Liam Patrick may still be in the mix at 50 and would be worth a punt

Craig Drinker 179 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 1. Scully 2. Trenny 11. Talia 18. Tapscott 34. Daw 50. Grimey2 PSD 1. Joel McDonald Went with Talia ahead of Vardy and others because of his superior kicking and disposal. HOPE Tappy and Daw are still there at 18 and 34. Jack Grimes will be a Star, definetely worth the risk on young Dylan. If we take Thorp.. surely were not that daft? Or do we want a 'hit-man' D. Rhys-Jones type? If we have to spend the money somehow, then Joel for me. Maybe Liam Patrick as a back up for an already taken Daw / Grimey2? ..Or if anyone is silly enough to pick up Newts / Meese and frees up a rookie spot Looks good but I would swap positions with Magic Door and Grimes2. I wouldn't be unhappy if we took Black at 11.

He has good skills and appears clean but does not appear to have any great athletic traits, is already somewhat mature of body, appears to be a permanent flanker. I just dont see where he will fit in our plans and there is much more I would rather look at with 11. The only reason people state he will snapped up by Port is because is from SA.

Yep, I reckon this just about nails the best outcome...I would be rapt with these selections. If Thorpe is just a thug, or a [censored] forget him....we don't need any distractions. Give another kid a go.
DeeMfc 621 Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 #1 - Tom Scully #2 - Jack Trengove #11 - Aaron Black #18 - Callum Bartlett #34 - Max Gawn #50 - Levi Casboult Psd #1 - Joel Mcdonald (Edited from earlier prediction of Mitch Thorpe) Smokies - Andrew Strijk - Matthew Smith - Brad Palipuaminni

Sums up Leigh Mathews We all (or should) know what Mathews did when he layed Big call comparing Tapscott with one of the greats of the game I think at #11 Tapscott will be our best bet even with taller KPF still available The only KPF i would put ahead of Tapscott would be Butcher but i really doubt he will be still there at #11
Deeman 1,551 Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 We all (or should) know what Mathews did when he layed Pardon my ignorance but I never got close enough to watch him when he "layed". What was it like? FWIW here's my contribution: 1. Trengove 2. Scully 11. Talia 18. Ball 34. Gawn 50. Barlow PSD. Thorp Barlow is a talented VFL player with Werribee and he's my smokey.
Footynut 302 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 For my 2 cents I hve 2 scenarios V1 scully trengove Talia (assuming butch is gone) vardy Patrick grimes or dare or temmel or whowouldknow v2 scully trengove tapscott or Lucas griffths or Carlisle gawn whoeverisleft

Tapscott 18? Patrick at 50??? Sorry is this meant to be closest to the pin or my dream draft as they are very different...
Keyser Söze 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Do you really think butch will be there at 11? Tapscott 18? Patrick at 50??? Yes. Well & truly. The love affair with Liam Patrick on this forum is out of touch with reality.
Footynut 302 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Yes. Well & truly. The love affair with Liam Patrick on this forum is out of touch with reality. is that why hawthorn don't want him to play any games so he is not in show to any other clubs? You didn't answer butch and tapscott... Not having a go at you as if your drafts came to reality that would be beyond our wildest dreams. Only problem being that I think they may be exactly that...

Not having a go at you as if your drafts came to reality that would be beyond our wildest dreams. Only problem being that I think they may be exactly that... It wasn't my draft, I was just commenting on your assertion Patrick would be gone by pick 50. I don't believe this is true.
spurs-r-us 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 yes I do believe that Patrick will be available at 50, Tapscott at 18 and I see a chance of Butcher falling to 11. I do assure you, I am rather well educated on this year's draft
spurs-r-us 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Although admitedly the second one is closer to everything good (that realistically could) happening

I do assure you, I am rather well educated on this year's draft If you are right I will love you forever - and I mean that. Should say re- Buthcer & Tapscott
