2016 trading and drafting (merged thread)

[Auntie.Gerald]

Will definitely has that stretch factor on the mark

ie 4cm longer arms making him more like a 190cm tall fella

33 goals from 9 games in the SANFL under 18s not bad

It will be great to see Heeney and Hewett more into the mids more and the emerging HFF outside players start to make a move on our Snr team.....2017 might be a little ambitious ?

I think Emma Quayle had him as her 8th best player. Here's her draft writeup. Says he's a bargain at pick 16.

16 ADELAIDE

WILL HAYWARD

(185cm, 77kg. North Adelaide)

Bouncy, energetic half-forward who can kick a lot of goals.

The rationale: He's a bargain at this point for Adelaide, who could do with adding to their midfield but might see Hayward playing a part down the track in there for them anyway.

The surprises are starting to roll in now.

She normally knows her stuff. I wonder if Rose is starting to become worried about his potential to make it into the team?

Sorry but why???

We have Rose, Reid, Buddy, do we need another forward??

We need speed, and at this stage we are not recruiting a single player with pace

Because you go for the best talent. He's got talent but is a little inconsistent

[S.S. Bleeder]

Damn. Begleys gone. He would have been perfect for our next pick.

[Auntie.Gerald]

Given Mills played HBF in his first year of snr footy and he had never ever played that posse before..........it is not unrealistic for either of our top two picks to maybe play some game time off our HBF more so Florent who reminds me of a Malceski style of player with more inside ability

Florent has pace. We do need pace but foot skills, esp long accurate kicking, is our priority, followed by pace.

Florent and Hayward are both very quick and elusive. Florent already plays midfield and Hayward could easily be a wingman. Hayward reminds me a lot of Rohan. The fact is that we are strong in all areas of the field.

I expect we will take a defender with our next pick. Look for Morrish, Ryan, Morrison, Williams and Williamson. Perhaps Jack Henry. We may also go tall, depending on who's there, like Maibaum, Himmelberg or Garthwaite

I'd love to get Maibaum. He'd be a good replacement for Reg. Our backline would. Be set for the next several years.

"Will Hayward is the medium forward who has played tall in the SANFL U18s. His marking is outstanding and is good in the one-one-one contests for his size. He kicked nine goals in a SANFL U18s final where he truly dominated. Is clean below his knees, but may need some work on his set shot routine and technique at the next level."

Not exactly a huge wrap??

[Levii3]

Josh Battle, Brennan Cox and Luke Ryan still available.
