The Serhat Temel Thread

Could he be Rookie. haventt heard of him since last year .is it worth a look at him

 
 

After pushing him-Serhat Temel like crazy last year- I was taught a very valuable lesson--Football dept's know more than us posters most times regarding players to recruit.. For any player whom had such an outstanding finals series in the TAC under 18'S and didn't even get a guernsey anywhere on a AFL list and other posters whom pushed like crazy for Majak Daw whom was on the interchange for Werribee 2nd's on several occasions qualifies them better than us posters whom think we know a little more than them at times.When we look at BP and his team and the unbelievable quality they have brought to our list is quite unbelievable.However, this site is about having some fun,most times. Jack Darling or Luke Mitchell for our draft 12 IMO.Please leave Serhat at the Bendigo Bombers who played one game this year.However, if someone else picked him up and he made it- I'd love to say I told you so.

What did I say last year about Serhat Temel and Majak Daw?

You'd do well to listen to me jcb.

I'm always right, 76% of the time.

And Mitchell is more likely to go at our second pick, around pick 30-40 imho.

But I'd still like to get him.

The more I look at who is available in the draft, I'd love to get a KPF at 12 like Lynch, Cook or Darling (more of a HFF), but there are so many good mids in there.

It could be like passing Dal Santo up for Tom Hawkins.

I really think we'll end up with a gun mid, winger or back flanker with pick 12.

There's just far too much quality.

LOL

He'd be lucky to be at Bendigo again next year after the way he carried on.

Please note I never listen -I read your posts.You cannot even get that right.Also note you have got your percentages incorrect-

you stated-I'm always right, 76% of the time,therefore you do admit you are wrong 24% of the time- well I disagree- you are right 0.76 % of the time therefore WRONG 99.24 % of the time.This is more accurate.


The Sehat Temel story last year was a real lesson for many (including myself) of the full extent of the superficiality and inaccuracy of the 'bigfooty phantom draft style' predictions made by those who watch 5 minute youtube clips of players.

Leading up to the draft last year, 95% of phantom drafts had Temel going in the first 2-3 rounds, yet probably only 1% had Gysberts, Menzel or Howard in the first round.

Immediately after the draft many were dumb-founded by the fact we picked up Gysberts instead of a KPP like Aaron Black or Ben Griffiths.

Yet those who attended the MFC draft event will tell you that our recruiters didn't rate 1 KPP in the top 20 of this draft, and didn't consider Talia a KPP at AFL level, rather more like a tall flanker. In addition, several clubs, including Geelong and Western Bulldogs, have since admitted they were keeping a close eye on Gysberts and would probably have picked him up had he been available.

The afl recruiters these days really know what they're talking about. They don't always get it right, but they do most of the time.

Irregardless, i love 'phantom drafts' and predicting the drafts, even though the extent of my knowledge is youtube clips and watching the udner 18 national championships. But when my predictions are wrong, i'm more than willing to admit the recruiters know best.

Was that always right, or 3/4 right all the time. LoL.

I'm all for taking a tall back + 2 tall forwards this draft, + a tallish Mid/flanker that kicks & runs the lines.

You have to draft best available, if that's a mid then that's a mid. Imagine the uproar around here if we drafted a Brad Miller type and let the next Joel Selwood go. If the player doesn't have the potential to be in our best 22 then it's simple - don't draft him. The argument ..We need a tall.. he's tall... let's draft him just doesn't stack up when a Joel Selwood is waiting in the same line

Well I feel you are completely right,100%-unlike me and some others.

works 60% of the time... everytime (sex-panther)

Ummm, like Richard Tambling & Franklin, or Tambling & Jordan Lewis?

Good post JCB. We would all do well to cool our jets. Most of the time it takes 6 months on here, and one huge stuff up to lose your ego. Though for some, even mods at times, they'll never be wrong.

I was going to say, I reckon there's quite a bit of Temel in Darling. Don't get me wrong, I rate him and I know he'll get drafted, but I wonder if he'll develop any more size-wise. Also, have you been paying attention much to drafting? It's an odd thing... last year our first active pick was at 11... this year it's at 12... still MASSIVELY important... and I haven't put any thought into it at all.

Awesome.

Terrible attitude - was told by Bendigo staff before one training session (after he had performed decently in the ressies the Sunday before) that he would be playing reserves again in that upcoming week... so what did he do?

He just left and went home before training had even started.

This was only one of a handful of occurrences.

He doesn't have the desire (nor the mobility) to play in the AFL.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
