List Mgmt. 2024 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

[Ticky009]

 

[caesar88]

Long term, I think he’s more suited to a running defence wing role, but he can play forward as well.

Behave caesar

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Who knows, he might end up as a third mobile tall forward.

Exactly, its way too early to tell

And I’ll admit, because he hasn’t been exposed to footy as much, it could take time and yes, he could very well fail.

Because the talent in the draft has become evidently more stronger, and more players have started to emerge as higher picks, a player like Joel has gone down rankings to the point of going unnoticed - so the chances of a cheap pick with a late, or even making it through as cat B rookie is a stronger possibility as the draft gets closer.

Do to his athleticism, his upside is big. His acceleration is elite. One of the knocks is his ability to hit a target. This is more based on not properly knowing what he's doing, rather than a flawed technique. This just naturally fixes itself with game time and confidence in his role. I don't think the Academy settled him in a position, which has probably been detrimental. He needs a period of time with one clearly defined role (in the VFL), and let him nail it.

That second sentence makes me want to puke! Can't hit a target please tell me he's not another Jarrod Brander (sorry mate I had to say it lol)

The acceleration thing? Go check his highlights. Other kids just can't do that. As for Brander, no one is going to spend #13 on Cochran. Brander was a way better player at this age. Cochran can hit a target, he just doesn't properly know what he's doing yet. He's played everywhere but never truly learned how to play a position.

More the hitting targets thing, I recon the last thing I want is a player who can't hit a target when turnovers lose games these days. It's probably why I've been consistent in this, not matching before the 4th round, even then not sure I would personally. Feel he's a rookie pick, be perfect if we could get him through to the Cat B rookie. Think I have him 60+ and that's very generous.

Why is there a West Coast supporter here trying to talk us into Cochran?

If you think he is so good, bid on him at 26 and he is all yours.

Please I hope not, we will actually be so silly and match the thing there!

Ruben actually does a lot of draft work, knows his stuff quite a bit, did us in the BF draft, really good bloke

For Cochran, long term his position seemes to be an intercepting third tall down back.

Not going to take your first or second option but able to cut out. Think kind of an AA type position

You better hope he can really kick then
