2021 Draft Thread

well that would make me happy b/c I am a big fan of Matt J.

But I don't think we tend to play these types of games... unfortunately.

We dont normally,

But having a top 10 pick wedged between freos 2 picks might prompt some gamesmanship i reckon?

 

[AstuteTiger]

Where abouts is he expected to go? Rookie? Maybe he's our replacement for Biggie?

Here is some more info on him.

Tyreece Leiu

With Gibcus coming into contention at pick 7, does anyone share my concern at potentially using pick 7 on a key defender?

Top 10 picks should be used for gun midfielders or key forwards. History shows there are plenty of solid key defenders to be found in later rounds of the draft.

Dockers keen to take a swing at Amiss, but are keeping an open mind

With plenty of local talent on offer, will Fremantle look outside WA this NAB AFL Draft?

Absolutely agree - no way I use pick 7 on a KPD. Where did we get Rance, Grimes, Astbury, Broad - not in the top 10...

I couldn't careless how long you have been doing it ,that doesn't make your assessments on player's right .
And you are a keyboard warrior ,you don't watch live matches.

My biggest issue is when you write off player's without having a full understanding of them ,but anyway hi ho hi ho.

only one "keyboard warrior" in this exchange and it's not BH.

No I would be just as happy with Gibcus as with a midfielder.

I'd be ok with Draper, perfect choice for a late twenties pick, big upside if he can develop a defensive mindset, could be a weapon on many fronts.

Like this kid lot to work with.

 

[daniel30]

Tyreece Leiu’s was mentioned linking us to him.

 

[daniel30]

Is his kicking a issue through ?.

 

[daniel30]

Nah, no way that happens. we trade up & then grab him with a third rounder, that would be the thinking.

How do you rate him ?.

The more i look into it and think about it #9 - Josh Gibcus welcome to RFC

There are quality mids available later in this draft to fill our boots with

Gibcus & Goater double please

I'd be so disappointed with Goater. So many better midfield options available.

 

[Leysy Days]

At 15 (17) reckon the Goats an excellent pick if there and can show up a few taken higher.

 

[nikolasmia]

Gibcus at 9 means we don't need to reach for a tall later on,

His athletic profile is elite, and his height, speed and leap means he could be a very versatile player.

Hope we get two genuine goal kicking midfielders that are inside/outside, the tougher and bigger they are the better

Not sold on idea of wasting first round picks on a backman when we desperately need a clearance machine

I laughed at cal toowmey being the first member of his entire generation to use 'literally' correctly;

'Josh gibcus's leap is, literally, off the charts'

After he hit the roof at the VL testing, which was being conducted in an underground carpark.

We can address that 15 and our 3 picks in twenties it's midfielder draft.

I'll be feeling pretty if we call Gibcus's name out.

and he sure won't be there at 15

Gibcus and The Sonz would be probably my ideal, realistic, first round pairing

our 2 first rounders cant be judged in isolation I dont reckon. its a pair.

 

[Redford]

Very exciting. Just a bummer it’s spread out over 2 long nights. Bit like a kid being told he can open half his presents on Christmas Day and the other half on Boxing Day.
