gottalovett's detailed top 20
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 3:13 pm
1. (Carlton) - Bryce Gibbs-
Carlton can simply not afford to overlook another outstanding midfield prospect to complement murphy, simpson, carazzo etc, if they do not take Gibbs it will be for the big ruckman Matt Leuenburger.
2. (Essendon) - Lachlan Hansen -
With the pending retirement of fletcher and the development of kepler bradley with a big question mark over it hansen is all the go for choice, he reads the ball well, has good pace and great body positioning.
3. (Kangaroos) - Scott Gumbleton -
The kangaroos are short on stocks for key forwards and gumbleton is the best in the draft. He is decievingly strong, very couragous and a good kick for goal, a future champion in the mould of Wayne Carey.
4. (Brisbane) - Joel Selwood -
IMO would have gone number 1 if he hadn't of been injured this whole year with knee troubles, and after his impressive draft camp results i am sure that Brisbane would not mind taking a chance on this impressive in and under mid in the mould of Michael Voss. (Could be a chance to go to essendon at 2).
5. (Port Adelaide) - Mitchell Thorp -
The most versatile player in the draft as he showed in the championships, still pretty skinny and therefore may not play as many games as some other young prospects but still a player to watch in the future.
6. (Hawthorn) - Matthew leuenburger -
Hawthorn is in need of a quality ready made ruck with the departure of spida everitt and Leuenburger is the best ruck in the draft, his greatest strength is his athletisism as shown with great results in the 20 metre sprints and the agility run. Has been likened to Dean Cox.
7. (Geelong) - Albert Proud -
Had a great championships but since then has not lived up to his expectations. He is a great ball winner but can also capitalise on that by having good pace, just what Geelong needs.
8. (Collingwood) - James Sellar -
Collingwood IMO are out to fill the void that Tarrant left and also give Rocca some rest so that leads to a key forward and sellar is the best available with pick 8, has been sick and has failed to get back to the form he had before the championships but that wont affect his stocks that much.
9. (St Kilda) - Leroy Jetta -
Seeing as the Saint's midfield is surprisingly shallow and lacks pace jetta is a pretty clear choice if he is still available. Jetta's standout quality is that he is a gamebreaker with raw speed and the saints dont have many of his type.
10. (Collingwood) - David Armitage -
Armitage is IMO about the equivalent of Albert Proud and they both have very similar traits, he is quick, an inside ball winner and has a fantastic engine, Collingwood would be rapt to snare him with their second pick.
11. (Western Bulldogs) - Eric mckenzie -
Big key postion backman that the bulldogs are crying out for, is a great body on body player and usually gets the edge needed to spoil the ball because he reads the ball very well through the air.
12. (Melbourne) - Clayton Collard -
IMO clayton is better than his teamate Leroy Jetta but will not get picked before him just because jetta has a slight edge in pace and massive raps on him. Clayton has great skills, good vision and footwork that is of a ballet dancer. Great adition for the dees.
13. (Richmond) - Bachar Houli -
Small to medium sized midfielder/forward pocket that is very conposed, great skills by hand and foot and is great at evading tackles, showed he is commited to football by breaking his religious cremony to do well at the draft camp. He is absoloutely identical to Adem Yze.
14. (Adelaide) - Nathan Brown -
Fantastic results at the draft camp have risen his stocks a little bit and i think that adelaide will have no trouble selecting the AA full back who, is a fierce competitor and never gives up a chase.
15. (Sydney) - Daniel Connors -
There is a lot of speculation that sydney will choose Tom Hislop here, but Sydney already have enough hard tough in and under types, so I think they will go for an outside reciever that has loads of class and Connors is the best available.
16. (West Coast) - Jack Riewoldt -
With West Coast's forward line the only fault in their structure, they will be looking for a forward option with their first pick and riewoldt will be the best available, he has very "sticky" fingers as they say, and his work below his knees is very good for his height.
17. (Carlton) - Brock O'brien -
rebounding half back flank who can rack up the possesions, has a penetrating long kick, solid pace and provides great run off the backline, will fit in perfectly at carlton.
18. (Essendon) - Clinton Benjamin -
Super quick Indiginous player that can play either on the wing or half forward flank and is willing to carry the ball when he is in the midfield. Seeing as essendon lacks pace in the middle Benjamin is a certainty to get get picked up at pick 18 if still available.
19. (Carlton) - Kurt Tippett -
With Carlton in desperate need of a ruckman i feel they will use this pick to snare one of the best in the draft. Tippett has good hands has a fantastic leap and good moblity, although this pick could change if they select Leuenburger with pick 1.
20. (Essendon) - Nathan Djerrkurra -
Sheedy's main priority for pick 18 and 20 are pacy midfielders and Djerrkura is definitely a pacy midfielder who can break the lines with lightning speed but can also win his own footy and feed it out to teamates running past. (the other option here IMO, is Calib Mourish)
