2020 AFL Draft

The lack of u18 games you’d favour that kids may very well slip that we rated 6-9mths ago
I think would be the case with players that are not in the top 10 but the 10 top kids would still be the same as they were 12 months ago

What will be interesting is alot of kids actually develop further and bolt up the rankings in their last year such as Oliver

The beauty of picking that kid would be gold and it could be as late as in the 3rd round

I would be happy to trade our 2020+2021 1st rounder for Tom Green and just take 2 kids with late picks

Not so sure we should trade out of the 2021 draft.
Turk wont the 2021 draft be a cracker, with missed players from the 2020 draft ?
Assuming there is football played in 2021?

No chance. We aren't that desperate. NEVER ever do we give away 2 first rounders.

Tom Green is a very very good player and we wont be missing much as we would already have tom with 3 years under his belt by that time

Good to see they are getting rid of the NGA's from next year.

Also time to get rid of the northern state academies

As someone who watches no junior footy, is it OK if I base my judgements on name alone?

I can't have a Reef, Denver or Logan running around in Tiger colours.

I can barely cope with last-name-as-first-name options like Bailey, Finlay and Tanner.

By process of elimination, I'm hoping we snag young Jack Carroll.

He just screams "sensible".

Carroll is good football family stock from the Riverina area in NSW. Wonder if he is related.

I agree, great method

I recall reading a couple of years ago that John Butcher at Port Adelaide was the only John on an AFL list. What happened to John as a name ?

Any John’s available in 2020 ? Even a Jon or a Juan would be ok

AFL just released their invitations to the Draft Combine. Wrapt to see that the family member (by marriage) is on the list. Wishing him all the best.
