Mock SANFL Mini Draft
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2007 3:18 pmCmon folks have a crack!
1. West: Taylor Walker
Walker’s a tall forward which West have a shortage of. They brought in a few midfielders/defenders but lack forwards and Galea is gone.
2. South: Andy Otten
Midfielders Clarke, McGlone and Wright have all departed so expect South to snap up Otten, a 191cm midfielder who racks up big possession counts.
3. Norwood: Matthew Lobbe
Lobbe is a tall forward/ruckman and with 3 ruckmen already departed Lobbe could slot straight into the team. Still very slight so you would assume he’ll spend 2 years in the SANFL which is to Norwood’s advantage.
4. Port: Myke Cook
Cook’s a quick, skilled midfielder/forward who should fit in well with the Magpies.
5. Glenelg: Tony Armstrong
Glenelg are probably a tad light-on for defenders and Armstrong is a medium defender who is said to have great foot skills.
6. Sturt: Jarrhan Jacky
With Chambers are Perrie up forward, they’ll need a small crumbing forward and Jacky fits the bill.
7. Eagles: Mitchell Farmer
Farmer’s a solid player in all aspects and is a great leader. The Eagles, who will like his versatility, seem like the perfect SANFL club for him.
8. North: Brad Moran
Unsure whether he’ll play much SANFL next year but if so North will like his versatility and ability to play down back. Moran is one who could go anywhere in this draft, depends on whether clubs will risk doing "a Rodan" like Norwood did.
9. Central: Patrick Dangerfield
Dangerfield could go anywhere in the draft order but you would expect clubs to stay away considering he’s not in SA next year. Centrals don’t have much time for young AFL listed players and Dangerfield will only be available for a few reserves games in 2008 which will suit the Dogs perfectly.
10. West: Aaron Kite
The only guy left (at this stage) and West could do with a young utility like Kite who will need time to develop as he is extremely slight.
* Rookie draft to come which will probably enable a few clubs to have 2 draft selections.
* That was tough work, mainly because logic can completely go out the window as it did 2 years back when West went with rookie selection Bonaddio with the first pick.
* I'm assuming Motlop will go to North, if not, I will need to adjust.
