The 2016 U18/Draft Thread

[Pkbaldy]

Tim Taranto averaged 145 SC points in the TAC Cup.

What's the source of this information?

He avg 123 in DT, so could be close to this mark. Fair bit of difference in average though, i'd say he averaged about 130 SC. I can't be bothered doing the calculations on it.

You reckon wrong. He averaged 145 SC. It's a fact.

Settle down princess. Just suss because of the 22 point difference.

Where do people think Jarrod berry will go? op 10 unlikely? I think (Maybe not cos of the sad academy players) he could be around that #10 mark! Whoever nabs him will have a steal imo, like Stringer and more like Jake Lever!

Obviously he's not that KP type but, Berry is top class and adds to any midfield even early next year like a Parish!

Berry missing parts of the season hurt him a lot. Was touted easy top 10 at the start of the year. I reckon he'll go between 15-25 now. I'd love him at the Saints, adds great run off the back line or breaks through lines in the midfield.

There's some overrated spuds getting around this year. "The best forward in the draft" being one of them IMO.

I hope you're talking Key Forwards, because you'd be right. If Marshall was in last years draft he'd struggle to get a look in. But because of the lack of draftable key forwards, teams will still pay for these guys. As for the best forward in the draft, that's Ainsworth. And he will be a complete beast.

Was talking key forwards! Should have specified!
But I guess Sydney won't look at him then if he isn't that good! They clearly want someone though.

Think the Swans are set on Logue now that Ted is gone and Grundy won't be around forever.

I'd be more than satisfied if the crows call him out @13, of course that might become more like #113 after the Academy players, or at least #15-16 or lower. So say crows end up with #17 after the bids. SPP might be a great choice then for Adelaide 8)

Whoever ends up with SPP has a special player to work with, is all I can say. Not as gifted as his higher rated WA team-mate Patreski-Seaton but Powell-Pepper has his own uniquely gifted talents

Both are hyphens, both will be spuds.

Both are hyphens, both will be spuds.

Try telling that to Chris Judd-3Votes!

SPS might be the best player in the entire draft.

Could he potentially give the #1 ruck a cop out at some time in the future when Tippett is done? Having now lost Nankervis too.

I thought he was nearly 2 meters tall?

193 I believe

[Ringo]

Suspect the Lions will bid for Bowes at three forcing Suns to use academy pick and take Ainsworth at 4.
