The 2016 U18/Draft Thread

watched a more recent highlight reel of Hugh McCluggage reminds me of dustin martin or deledio

Yeah Lids would be a good comparison.

In saying that im horrible with comparisons... haha

Dusty and Lids are completely different players though ???

From what I've seen he reminds me of Vossy

[Mat0369]

Try telling that to Chris Judd-3Votes!

3 votes is his middle name!

SPS might be the best player in the entire draft.

Based purely on name alone they are destined to suck. Some recent hyphens in AFL history

Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls
Nathan Lovett-Murray
Trent Dennis-Lane
Jay Kennedy-Harris
Dillon Viojo-Rainbow
George Horlin-Smith
Robert Forster-Knight
Will Hoskin-Elliot
Cam Ellis-Yolmen
Jarrod Kayler-Thompson

There are probably a few other duds I'm missing in the process. The best hyphen since David Rhys-Jones has been LRT. So you have David Rhys-Jones and LRT. I went through this last time around and it looks pretty bleak.

[fanTCfool]

Darcy Byrne-Jones is a missed hyphen, but by no means a superstar, yet.

Can see GC and GWS having big wins if the bids don't come.

1 - Ess - McGrath
2 - GWS - Ainsworth
3 - Bris - Luggage
4 - GC - Taranto
5 - GC - Bowes (Carl bid, GC move from 6th to 5th)
6 - Carl - SPS
7 - Freo - Florent
8 - GC - Brodie
9 (1469) - GWS - Perryman (SYD bid, GWS use 15 in the process)
10 (1395) - GWS - Setterfield (SYD bid, GWS use 39, 45 in the process)
11 - Syd - Logue
12 - GC - English
13 - NM - Scrimshaw
14 - GWS - Macreadie (ADE bid - GWS use junk picks)
15 - ADE - Simpkin
16 - PA - Marshall
17 - Bris - Scheer
18 - PA - Sproule (GWS can't match unless they go into deficit next year)
19 - WB - Venables

20 - SYD - Bolton

21 - Ess - Berry
22 - Bris - Hayward
23 - Bris - Powell-Pepper
24 - STK - Mutch (GWS don't match)
25 - Geel - Rotham
26 - Carl - Battle
27 - WB - Maibaum
28 - Rich - Scharenberg
29 - Coll - Daicos
30 - Ess - Clarke
31 - PA - Drew
32 - PA - Witherden
33 - NM - Gallucci

Total guesswork from this point onwards. Spuds like Graham and Kerr will get picked up. Would like to see Keitel get picked up, liked him in his draft year and is worthy. Ben Long too.

what do you think of Zac Fisher meow?

there's a bloke on BF that absolutely loves him. I've only seen one little highlights video and he looked alright. a lot of energy, kinda similar to Jack Steven. could probably do some work on his kicking. but yeah I've got no idea as I've only seen that one video

I'd compare him to Lachie Neale if I had to choose someone. He can play but his size is really going to work against him considering the role he plays, but Neale is a superstar so he's not without a chance of making it.

So Eagles aren't taking their first pick then?

sweet cheers, yeah he did look small in the video but like you said that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a bust

the guy on BF had him going to the Saints at 23, but he actually rated him the 2nd best in the draft, so I dunno if he's mates with Zac or whatever (or he might even be Zac) cos that's very different to everyone else

Surely Brissy bid on Bowes.


unless they have some sort of dodgey agreement, see no reason why they wouldnt want to bid, worse case they pick up a Queenslander who is more talented then ainsowrth (in my opinion) and likely case if they force GC to lose a top 5 pick.

The system can be soo corrupt, if brisbane dont pick im sure its part of some agreement from the hanley deal.

From what I have been seeing up here we will more than likely bid on Bowes.  It is in our interests as well as even if Suns do not bid we do have a Qlder as well.
Speculation with Ainsworth going at 2 not helping our cause especially when Ainsworth said he is happy to come to Brisbane.

If Bombers take Clugg, then GWS take McGrath, we bid on Bowes, and take Ainsworth.

If Bombers take McGrath, GWS will likely take Ainsworth and I reckon we'd just take Clugg and not bid on Bowes, just in case.
