Draft talk for 2009

Ex-Lion keen to cure listless condition | Herald Sun

Scott Harding keen to cure listless condition......

[sharp9]

Don't have time to watch many non swans games...but Jesse Smith is Class, Class, Class....when he got ion the park. Clearly rates himself, too and not backward in coming forward. Interesting, very interesting.

[top40]

Interested in any strays?

To date 44 senior players have been delisted from their 2009 Team list. Is there a player worth considering?

That's interesting. GOK apparently dominated at VFL level, Doggies fans were screaming for him to get a go, but Eade apparently took a disliking to him. Well, Eade took a disliking to Kirk as well. I reckon he could be worth a shot with a later pick.

Bingo. And Frosty. And Cook.

As for Hooper, no. It would be a travesty considering Nic Davis was dropped froom the Swans.

But Daniel Harris? Scott Harding? Not so very shabby. If GOK is young enough and wants to get to Sydney and is not too FIGJAM, then pehaps its worth a look.

Eade also dumped the cross dresser Heuskes and Stafford our only big ruckman at the time and took on that idiot who smoked and also had a major case of the FIGJAMS (who got dumped from another two teams - I think it made 4 in all).

And also perhaps Matty Laidlaw could get another gig.

[Bas]

I'm guessing we will draft mid fielders with our first two picks. However, I would rather see the next best player available picked.

We haven't drafted a KPP backman for a while.

[eggbeater]

Would love us to snag Cunnington somehow, ferocious at the ball, and good in the clinches can also sneak up forward for a few goals.

Really really hope North pass him up!

And also Talia at 14 would be excellent!

[707]

I reckon midfielder at pick 6 and a number of mouth watering types will be avaiulable. Then a tall, good chance Talia will still be there at pick 14, only dangers are Tankers with their third pick at 11 or Poor Powa with their second at pick 9. Here's what Burgan says

Daniel Talia (Calder Cannons, VIC)
Height: 194cm, Weight: 89kg, DOB: 02/10/91
Recruited from: Assumption College
Talia will be one of the most sought after key defender/forwards in this year's draft. He could sneak into the top 10 or at worst push into the early stage of the second round.
Draft range: 8-25

We've still got up to seven picks in the drafts (assuming two Vets listings) plus another if Kennelly doesn't return.

Use five up to pick 55 on youngsters in the main draft, the junk time picks which will probably be around the late 60s/early 70s we could use for a recycled. I've heard good things about Guy O'Keefe so was surprised to see him delited by the dogs.

Bradshaw in the PSD of course.

Who was that?

[laughingnome]

Who was that?

Pretty sure he's referring to Ricky Mott.

707 can you post a link to this please? Would be interested to have a read of all the possible draftees and what Burgan has to say.

Cheers,

That's the one.

Two claims of fame at the Swans. Missing the winning goal in the first game at Homebush (hard to blame him for the loss) but my favourite was when he knocked out Frosty accidently with a stray kick at the SCG on a Saturday night. Can't remember who it was against but the Swans got flogged and at least Frosty was saved the humiliation.

That was a ripper as well Bas but i think it was at the Telstra Dome.

Mott put alot of weight on those kicks and on himself during the off-season.

[Auntie.Gerald]

why cant we use Tags money on Luke Ball ?

there must be enough if we want him back.......who is after Luke Ball ?
