The 2014 U18/Draft Thread

I do hope someone gives Josh Glenn a crack.

Surely gets drafted, along with Boekhorst & Saad, these are the state leaguers who look the goods.

I'd be keen to see Matt Panos and Adam Cockie get second chances.

Cockie was a spud at eagles... He had plenty of chances... Saad at least offers some pace.

[Ricochet]

I rate Cockie very highly. Has developed a fair bit since his time at the Eagles

Back-to-Back BnF at the Zebras this year. So can't be too much of a spud now.

I actually don't rate Mckenzie that far behind McCartin - Could be a bolter?

Surely hope not! Can still see either Essendon, Carlton getting him before pick 21. But nearly every PD i've seen has him going to us haha.

A guy his size just shouldn't move like he does - If his endurance was better he'd probably go top 10

Problem for Panos is he's 23 and has been delisted once, very few clubs give second chances like that, Nathan Gordon being one of the only instances I can recall.

There's every chance it could be like the Mitch Thorp story last year, but for Panos' sake I hope not.

But you think his 2.87s 20m Sprint would be a good enough start. Build his tank to do that multiple times, he will be a complete and utter beast.

Add to that, he's 197cm and 106kg. And he's only 18. Scary prospect.

He's proven he can kick serious bags of goals but whether he can translate that to AFL level will be interesting to observe. I still think he'll get games next season, especially if he goes to the Saints

Agreed! I think his only real problem is that he has a temper on the field and it effects his game. Once you get something like that sorted I can see him being a ballsy version of Tom Hawkins. Which would make him a perfect replacement for Nroo in a few years.
I'll defs be guttered if he is available and we skip him.

[Nige]

Didn't get much love in our phantom draft, but he's firming as a later pick and his brother already plays for the Pies - Ed Langdon

[Pkbaldy]

Ehhh he'll probably be picked. But probably around end of 3rd/early 4th round.
