2010 Draft/Trade Resource & Discussion

[COBHC]

That's a bit harsh on Veszpremi, wasn't really given a chance in 2010 to impress.

[Primmy]

Hope he travels well, and that all things work out for him. He is a nice kid. Can play a bit too. We just had too many goodn's to fit him in.

Welcome to Itzy; agree with Wardy, we could do well with this one. I do suppose he WANTS to come here?

[JudesaGun]

We've barely had any!!

Anyway, I think it takes a good club to realise such a pick is not going to fit in early and still be able to get something for him.

Someone posted our history with first rounders earlier in this thread. Willoughby, O'Keefe and Veszpremi all stand out now as wasted first round picks.

[JudesaGun]

I think he'll move up to the wing and even push forward in an O'Keefe style role. Up front, we'd look like:

Everitt White Jetta
McGlynn Bradshaw Bolton

He could also swing back to let Shaw, Malceski and even Mattner push up the ground, so we'd have:

Smith Grundy Mattner/ Kennelly
Everitt LRT Bolton

Who will he replace in the 22 to play HB or wing? I just can't get excited about this trade and very disappointed to see Vesz go. Another first round pick failing to pay off for the club... far and away our weakest area re recruiting.

But we swapped a pick 11 for another pick 11 so we havnt wasted the pick yet. If Everitt bcomes a good player then it hasnt been a waste at all

Really??? He had ample game time in the Reserves to push for senior selection and from the games I saw he didn't seem to push harder enough. Having said that I wish him well in the next stage of of his career.

[JudesaGun]

Exactly. You can't put him in the same category as guys who haven't made it at all. And how many other clubs have had 1st rounders that haven't made it, yet got nothing for them? I just think Vesz might always have struggled to find a spot when you have similar players like McGlynn, Jetta and even Rohan.

I thought, he could have come into the side against Richmond instead, Roos went with Henry Playfair. Roos should have given Veszpremi and Johnston a game then to see what they can do.

Veszpremi has talent and I'm not sure why the hate is for him. However, I am rapt with Andrejs Everitt though, hopefully he'll end up a gun for us.

@ UglyDuckling

+1

[Dan]

Our backmen are LRT, B2, Shaw, Mattner, Eski, Reg, Kenelley and Smithy.
McGlynn, Jetta, ROK, McVeigh, Rohan can all play wing. So where does Everitt go?

Where would you play Gary Rohan?

[Dan]

And shouldnt TDL be up front too instead of Bolton?

[Nich]

B2 won't stick around. I can sense retirement in the next year personally. Year after at the most. And if Andrejs gets his @@@@ together then Mattner will start feeling some heat as well don't worry.

There is always an injury floating about as well. He'll get game time.

[JudesaGun]

Sorry meant TDL.

Rohan would be a rotating mid and also pushing up forward to rotate with Jetta/ McGlynn.

Past are the days where you nominate one guy for each position on the ground, particularly the utilities. Short answer is, he's in our best 22 above guys like Moore, Bevan etc.
