2021 Draft Thread

[bullus_hit]

Schloithe no chance now. Bailey Rogers, 24, the premier player in the WAFL but I’m guessing he too will go undrafted.

Too late now but he has the pace & kicking smarts, maybe something to do with attitude? Not sure but that's effectively why Jye Bolton has been ignored every year, seems his Collingwood experience has sent a few shockwaves throughout the recruiting fraternity.

As for Hibberd, aside from a wretched run with injuries he's done everything asked of him, elite athlete too. Could do a hell of a lot worse in the rookie draft.

Hobbs a bust! I suppose you need some context, if it's a Luke Ball vs Chris Judd scenario then maybe you have a point.

Funny you should bring Schloithe into discussions, I have pushed his cause every year, honestly cannot work out why he hasn't been given a chance.

Hibberd is now a bona fide inside mid, worth a look and I wouldn't read anything into North's decision to cut him.

Meh.

 

[bullus_hit]

Meh.

It's all academic anyway given we don't have any rookie spots, but I like Mitch and he seems to have tidied up his disposal which has always been the knock.

 

[Aegean Tiger]

Seems like fun. So at the risk of throwing the cat amongst the pigeons, here is my list:

Boom
Horne
Daicos
Andrew
Callaghan
Rochelle Rochelle
Sonsie
Sinn
Chesser
Alleer

Bust
Darcy
Amiss
JVR
Gibcus
Roberts

Reckon this is a very strong draft

Hobbs a bust! I suppose you need some context, if it's a Luke Ball vs Chris Judd scenario then maybe you have a point.

Just on Hobbs , I cant see him being selected before pick #9 Richmond or West Coast at the earliest
Norf - No
Pies - Daicos
Doggies - Darcy
Gold Coast - Most likely Gibcus,Andrew , Callaghan available and Needs based
GWS - See GC
Hawks - No need for inside with average pace more Outside quality user
Crows - Similar to Crows IMO and would likely Rachele or even Johnson
Freo - Not with the WA talent available (Erasmus/Amiss/Johnson)

Im getting more and more convinced its either Richmond or Eagles for Hobbs

1. Daicos
2. Horne-Francis
3. Darcy
4. Gibcus
5. Andrew
6. Callaghan
7. Rachele
8. Erasmus

So left on the table are Ward & Hobbs, think you have to take Ward if it's between the two.

Bully.
I wouldnt pick him up even if we had 490 picks.
Massive soft kok

Thats not you and KK is it ?

That's me bottom left explaining to Leysy that rump isn't always what it seems.

Is that due to Love Island? Or do you have some inside intelligence?

 

[Harry]

Why isn't Alleer rated higher? He looks unstoppable in the air.

 

[King Kong]

Looking for love in all the wrong places.

I see you've been downloading pics from Turk's Facebook page again! That's his wife and sister.

Still very rough around the edges so some element of risk. You won't get a bigger boom/bust prospect.

Turk must be a real stunner himself

 

[Harry]

just from some early viewing of highlight clips there's alot of mid / half forward prospects.

Like the look of Sonsie as the quick, goal kicking mid / half forward and Taylor as the busy inside / outside transition mid.

We can't go wrong with Hobbs/Ward/Johnson as a pure mid with our first pick imo.

Good time to have a stockpile of good picks with our midfield needing replenishing.

afl.com reading PRE again, with an exposè on our Ronny Fojojr too

Are the Tigers in to him do we know.

If so Ithe Drugs or maggots will probably grab him.

Agree Brisbane. Not sure if he is strictly a recruit but have a sense that Mate’ Colina will also surprise, in a good way.

 

[eZyT]

Bust
Darcy

yeah I agree

 

[Sintiger]

I have zero knowledge of any of the juniors but can I just say that I enjoy reading this immensely and as an onlooker I appreciate the insights enormously so a big thankyou to all.

I have no names to put next to roles but my optimal list would include an inside mid, a KPD, a KPF and a couple of mids with good size, pace and foot skills. I also want us to continue the no DH policy.

Not sure there are any worthwhile KPF's but if it was Blair Hartley making the same requests I'd probably retort by advocating a swingman instead, that would mean grabbing van Rooyen at 17.

9. Johnson (tall mid)
17. van Rooyen (key position swingman)
30. McDonald (inside mid)
31. Howes (wingman)
32. Fejo Jnr (small forward)

Pretty good kicks across the board, not best of the best, you would have to use pick 17 to grab one of the elite guys like Sonsie & Taylor.
