THE DRAFT: TAC CUP FUTURE STARS ROLLING DRAFT



Recommended Posts

Terry Wallace produced edition 1 of his weekly "rolling draft" for 2013 on today's TAC Cup Future Stars:-

1. GWS TOM BOYD (Eastern Ranges)

2. Melbourne JOSH KELLY (Sandringham Dragons)

3. St. Kilda JAMES AISH (South Australia)

4. Brisbane JACK BILLINGS (Oakleigh Chargers)

5. W Bulldogs MATT SCHARENBERG (South Australia)

6. North Melbourne LUKE MCDONALD (Oakleigh Chargers F/S)

7. Gold Coast JONATHON MARSH (Western Australia)

8. Port Adelaide MATT CROUCH (N Ballarat Rebels)

9. Adelaide DARCY GARDINER (Geelong Falcons)

10. West Coast DAYLE GARLETT (Western Australia)

There will be plenty of changes over the next six months before the draft is held at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in late November. Of course, the MFC could get a priority pick if Redleg's blueprint works.

Does Wallace know something that we don't know about the Priority pick?

Dunstan and Sheed both missing? Goddamn.

Also, I would think the Giants won't take Boyd, unsuited to needs. Aish is #1 OVR it seems, then Sheed/Boyd/Dunstan should be that next bracket. Would think Boyd will go to either the Lions or the Dogs as St Kilda will try to go for mids after drafting Tom Lee last year as a long-term replacement for Riewoldt.

Just watched the tape. Certainly worth a look notwithstanding his size. I wouldn't be disappointed if we picked him up!

I also suspect one of the clubs out West are doing a hush job similar to the Jack Darling and Dean Cox episodes with Blake Acres. By all accounts ahead of Dom Sheeds and Jack Billing but won't play the under 18 champs because of a shoulder. Should be looked at IMO

More than anything I want a bloody star. Is that too much? A bloke who we'll be talking about in 20 years but not in the same manner as I talk about Cale.

I noted today in the AGE the comparison between the recruiting of St Kilda compared to Geelong. Makes interesting reading and proves that Geelong are the masters of identifying talent. St KIlda have retained 5 out of 24 recruits since the 2008 season at a 20% retention rate, on the other hand Geelong is at 80 % and there are mainly in the 20 to 40 draft pick range. It makes a mockery of the value of top 10 picks and some of the heat our recruiters share should be sent to the Saints. Note that over the 4 years (08-11) there were NO trades for recycled players by Geelong. Recommend looking at the table and the names and the time frame in which they develop

I don't believe it was Geelongs drafting skills but more their development of young players (their culture).

No conspiracy here with ACRES did his AC joint in colts game for West Perth, will be right to play with their senior side when championships finish and he wont be hiding it's not in him. No way they will be able to hide this kid under the radar, will go 2nd round IMO

...and if we get a priority pick? do we take Boyd or Dunstan? why are Kelly and Billings so far back?

Wallace is a [censored], as if Dayle Garlett is going to go top 10, not a chance...

Actually, not even a remote chance.

He was the best player in last years draft and didn't get drafted at all.

The chances of him going top ten after all that has gone on - slim to none.

Whoever gets him might get a freak - but the risk is there and sides don't risk first round.

Well, unless they are MFC, they take Lucas Cook or Gysberts instead.

Here's a par on Dominic Sheed who sounds a bit like an Ollie Wines type (I haven't seen him yet so I stand corrected).

AIS-AFL Academy member Dom Sheed followed his best-on-ground effort in round one with another irrepressible performance.

Sheed is strong, hunts the ball, doesn't fumble and has a booming left-foot kick, all ingredients of a top-end draft pick come November.

He picked up a game-high 34 disposals and dominated the stoppages, the WA captain continuing his strong lead-in to next week's division one meeting with the highly-fancied Vic Metro side.

Smith sets gold standard for WA

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
