Pies' Picks 2014 Draft


  • Pick 5: Jordan De Goey
    Oakleigh Chargers
    Age 18 187cm 82kg
    Defender/midfielder
    A competitive and versatile medium defender/midfielder. Strong overhead and in one-on-one contests. Good decision-maker by hand and foot. Provided a spark up forward by booting three goals in the Oakleigh Chargers' Grand Final win, playing mainly forward. Makes the most of his opportunities.
    List Manager Derek Hine: "He plays 360 degrees, makes really good decisions and plays forward, back and midfield. He can play forward in his own right. His exposure to the elite pathway system has also been light so (there’s) plenty of scope."

  • Pick 9: Darcy Moore
    Oakleigh Chargers
    Age 18 199cm 93kg
    Forward/defender
    Tall forward or defender with excellent closing speed and natural leap. Strong overhead mark.The son of Collingwood great and two-time Brownlow medallist Peter Moore. Moore boasts excellent closing speed, a natural leap, strong marking ability over his head and smarts around goal.
    List Manager Derek Hine: "It's early days but it's not surprising the way he has attacked the system. He has been terrific in the way he has approached earning the respect of the playing group. He is healthy but we have to work out whether he goes forward or back."

  • Pick 30: Brayden Maynard
    Sandringham
    Age 18 186cm 88kg
    Defender
    Left footer with powerful kick, excellent evasive skills and rarely beaten one on one. With his father Peter a member of Glenelg's Hall of Fame in South Australia, Maynard comes with good footy pedigree. He's a tough player who builds his game around the contested side. Probably best suited to a half-back role.
    List Manager Derek Hine: "He has played mainly off half-back but in his last couple of games this year were in the midfield. He's an elite kick and although he doesn't test high for endurance he doesn't play that way, running to the right spots. I would be surprised if he didn't play some footy next year. He is the grandson of former Fitzroy footballer and coach Graham Campbell."

  • Pick 48: Matthew Goodyear
    Calder
    Age 18 185cm 77kg
    Midfielder
    Extremely athletic medium midfielder with elite speed and endurance. Prolific ball winner at the Cannons and had a taste of the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships playing in three matches, averaging 13 disposals in limited game time. His drive and rebound from half-back as well as through the midfield often breaks the game open.
    List Manager Derek Hine: "He has been able to come in and play at the highest level when the game is at its hottest. He has some work to do on his kicking but his speed/endurance combination and his ability to move laterally is impressive."
