Re: My Top 50 - 2012 Draft A lot of players get overrated by the boys up north in an attempt to get them drafted. After a good Under 18 carnival Braedon was average in his limited NTFL games last year then went back to the Under 18s to qualify for finals and was no standout there either...

No other 18 year old in Australia would be making the impact that Waylen is currently making in the NTFL. Would probably kick 100 goals if he plays the whole season.

Watched the game live and thought WA were very ordinary for a Div 1 team.

Would of thought Barlow may have been a better option than Harris.

Once a player is over 20 you can probably stop calling him a kid.

Would you be happy if your club gave them 3 year contracts? Williams only deserved 2 years as well.

Did a couple of good things on the weekend but not great in a beaten team. Dont think he has the ability to make it at AFL level but has a good leap if you want a 185 ruckman. No where near the ability of Jurrah

Re: Lovett to The Lions Your kidding arent you Polkinghorne Platful untouchables?

Watched him in the prelim final and he got caught holding the ball about 5 times. Doesnt get the ball enough for a first rounder in my opinion.

I wish Michael all the best but he was All Australian at Under 16 level on an AIS scholarship and was also down training with Collingwood pre draft. He is also a great size and has the athleticism that most clubs want yet no club was willing to give him an opportunity even on their rookie...

Has signed. Athletic player who needs to improve his skills and decision making to be AFL standard. Hasnt noticeably improved in these areas the past couple of years

Sitting down with the family this week to decide whether to play SANFL, VFL or for Northern Territory Thunder in QAFL

Have you watched him play many games?

Gugliotta is a good athlete but in my opinion isnt anything special as a player. I havent noticed any marked improvement since he was about 15-16 when he was probably selected for AIS.

Probably hardly knows who Gugliotta is?

If no club picks him up hopefully he will be playing for the new Northern Territory in the QAFL next season.

Has a lot of natural talent. As good as I have seen for a while from the NT. Relton Roberts another aboriginal player goes well too.

Northern Territory are allowed to play a number of over age players in the National 16s and 18s. They would have had at least 6 over age players in both teams including Motlop. Seen him play heaps of times and there is no way I would draft him but I have been told Hawthorn have been to Darwin...

He is about half the size as Daniel at the moment. Most of the highlights were as a 17 year old playing as an over age player in Under 16s.

NT can play over aged players in the under 18 championships

Got nothing to lose as a rookie pick. I was told months ago by someone close to the family that he was going to be drafted by Adelaide.

Wont have the work ethic to make it in the AFL. Is older than most in the draft turning 20 early next year.

You would be wasting picks. Rookie list at best and I wouldnt do that.

Straight swap with St Kilda for Xavier Clarke

Curtly Hampton wont be drafted for a few years yet can still play under 16s next year.

Shannon if he picks up would be okay but they would be wasting there time with the other Rioli's around that age group or a bit older. They are struggling to play league football in Darwin. Would only be attracting interest because of their name.

Played well for St Marys A grade in the last NTFL season and looked on track to be a draft chance I have only watched him play one game since but he appears to have lost form and fitness dont know what the problem is.

May only turned 16 in January so is still eligible for Under 16 champs. Sharples on the other hand is an over age player.

All except Gugliotta

For most people being good enough to get drafted is the result of a number of years of hard work. Yes you need very good skills preferably on both sides of the body but their are a number of players currently playing AFL who still struggle in this area. People who get drafted usually have...
