Talk on the national game

Geelong 2018

Postby Wedgie » Sat Nov 25, 2017 11:39 am

Summary of the draft from afl.com:

Selections before academy and father/son bidding: 22, 24, 35, 58, 71, 86
Selections after bidding: 22, 24, 36, 57
Who they picked: Lachlan Fogarty, Tim Kelly, Charlie Constable, Gryan Miers

Verdict:

After being touted as a possible top-15 pick, Fogarty slipped through to the Cats and they would have been delighted to nab him with pick 22. He's likely to start as a small forward, where his tackling pressure skills will be put to good use and with question marks over the fitness of Lincoln McCarthy and Cory Gregson he could get an opportunity at some stage next season. Fogarty has clean hands and uses the ball well.

Kelly is regarded as one of the best players in the WAFL competition and will press for senior selection straight away.

Constable was another player who dropped down the order, but his ability to find the football and use it in traffic is just as good as any of his peers.

Miers is a livewire forward who starred in the TAC Cup Grand Final, booting seven goals. Geelong is still well and truly in its premiership window, after getting Gary Ablett back to the club, and everything it did at the draft suggested it was one of the bigger winners on the night.

A good haul I think. Getting Crameri for squat could be good as well. If Crameri doesn't work out at least (unlike the Clark trade) it doesn't cost us anything. I've heard good things about Kelly in particular from WA mates.

I’m surprised Dangerfield allowed anyone else to be in the photo.

It was only supposed to be Ablett and Dangerfield but Selwood ducked in.

I think it’s time for Hawkins to have a reality check. Maybe give Crameri a chance.

Exactly. He should be one of the games’ stars - he’s not.
