2023 Draft Thread.

Not being invited to the combine isn't a great sign, unless we want him hidden & plan to take him with a rookie pick.

I dont think thats how the club plays it.
Kinda like tanking.
My thoughts are we'd prefer the player to go hell for leather and gain experience against the best.

As far as developement goes thats certainly the better way of going about it.

Have been watching some tape of Harvey Johnston.

I'm very keen on him.

I've just had a look at this bloke. A lot to like. Bit of a rubber man, very clean hands, good kick, good runner, quick. I've added him to my wishlist. Could be there at our second pick according to rankings.

What have people seen of Will Brown?
Vic metro captain. BoG in vic u18s gf.

Captains of underage sides.Are they like the consolation prize?
Your good but quite not that good?

Bloody hell. Yeah, I'd forgotten about him. Agree with all of that, he is a cousin of Cam Bruce. Good blood lines.

Would love to know his 2km time trail. Reminds me of a poor mans Robbie Gray at times. I'd take that.

6:17 min - Harvey Johnston (Sandringham Dragons). Equal 10th at the Combine. Didn't feature in the 20m or agility top-10.

That ticks off my thoughts when I see him, doesn't look quick but covers a lot of ground. Bit like Kane Lambert was, that's probably a better comp than the poor mans Robbie Gray. I think he can be Kane Lambert.

Does that mean he's gotta wait five or six years before he gets drafted???

Charlie Edwards looks fantastic but unfortunately seems just out of our reach in terms of picks.

Ironically his quick hands remind me of his namesake shedda

There seems to be two Bailey Banfields in WA. One is 25 and plays for Freo the other is 18 and plays for Subi colts. Which one is from Drew Banfield?
Like the look of the younger one and hope he is not F/S ! Any of our WA members know?

 

[Scoop]

Can confirm we’re interested in Goad

Ran a 2.93 in the 20. I think that puts him ahead of Green and others for me.

The younger Bailey is Drew’s sprog and he is F/S for Weagles.

Goad is a tempter, but if we come out with two of Chedda, Simpson, Graham, Johnston, Stevens and Frejiah, plus Weckert who is tipped to go late or rookie, we'd be pretty happy.

Simpson and Graham, genuine mids and good value where we're picking. Warming to that combo.

Yes. Talls around our picks look average to me. Mids much better. Better chance of hitting the mark and of rapidly fixing a glaring need with 2 picks on mids in this particular draft.

A lot of half-back flankers ranked in the top 40. We don't need them, hopefully plenty of others do.

I reckon they are both gone by our pick. I like Simpson more of the two. Redford was on him early.

He had to get one right eventually.

 

[jokershoppe]

Most clubs especially tigers draft first 2 rounds ,best players even if they are all.back flankers.
A juniors draft playing position gets changed 50 % of the time at afl.level.
