List Mgmt. 2022 Trade, Draft, etc thread

Dory_77 – might be worth pinning this? Gets updated after every move.

Adams looked really solid at WAFL level from what highlights we saw. IMO Jefferson will depend on how much size and strength he can develop. Could be a slow burn perhaps.

Yeah I think 2 years minimum for Jefferson. Probably look for him in 2025.

 

[Tulip]

Adams looks like a JT classic. Understated, good skill set.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Saw this in the herald sun and you guys have a Father/son in next year’s draft.

Kynan Brown (Oakleigh Chargers) – A ball-winning midfielder who can also go forward and impact the scoreboard. He is a father-son prospect for Melbourne, as the son of Nathan Brown who played 146 games for the Demons from 1998-2007. Featured in the under-17 Futures game this year.

Cheers. He played a few games this season for oakleigh. Played some good ones to it seems. From what I hear projecting as a 2nd rounder or so. At this stage anyway.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Hopefully you guys get access to him

Riak Andrew
Club: Dandenong Stingrays/Berwick FC/St
Joseph's Regional College
Height: 192em
Weight: 70kg
DOB: 17/02/05 A tall forward or defender, Andrew was showing real potential before suffering a meniscus knee injury which put a line through his entire bottom- age season. Of Sudanese origin, he is the brother of Mac Andrew who was drafted to the Gold Coast
Suns with pick seven in the 2021 national draft. Andrew is a member of Melbourne's Next Generation Academy and looms as a big watch in
2023.

Hopefully he flies under the radar so we can use a low pick on him.

if Reports are true about this year’s draft good chance he flies under the radar.

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Hopefully he flies under the radar so we can use a low pick on him.

He'll need to fall outside the top 40 for us to be able to match him. Hopefully with the supposed strength in this years draft, that's what happens.

 

[Topkent]

What a fun game, let's hope he's so s**t no else wants him and we get him.

 

[Daemon]

What a fun game, let's hope he's so s**t no else wants him and we get him.

Let's hope he gets done for drink driving after he goes pick 39 to GCS so we can all crow how we dodged a bullet.

I was literally thinking well hopefully he does a knee early in the year - and then I realised how ridiculous that is.

The academy system is a load of rubbish.

Yeah it's an absolute rubbish system. AFL are terrible at this stuff. Here, have an academy. But you can't draft them if they are really good. Fn dumb..

The way they’ve set it up, it’s literally an advantage to have your academy kid perform poorly.

Goes against every intention of having AFL teams put resources into giving these kids a good go.

The sport deserves better than what the AFL dish up tbh. Scheduling all over the place, unfair draw every year, dodgy academy system, constant rule changes, baffling MRO decisions, list goes on. Pointless being involved to an academy if you can't access the talent..

 

[markm106]

I couldn’t find a 2023 draft and trading thread. So I will put it here. This was from an oppo talent scout
Kynan Brown - Sounds like he’ll be drafted but more likely late to rookie.
Noah Yze - Apparently great athlete but not looking a guarantee to be drafted next year. I guess there’s still time to develop. But apparently doesn’t have the footy smarts of his dad.
Kalani White - Very promising. Has apparently committed to the Dees despite Gold Coast being very keen.

 

[Cursedsword02]

Dunno why you don't have a 2023 draft thread yet, but oh well I'll put it here.

Keep an eye on the younger brother of JVR, Samuel. Just kicked 5.5 in the WAFL Colts against Subi today.

 

[danster168]

So with your newly calculated 50% hit rate figure we need to draft 4 key forwards this year (at a minimum) to ensure 2 "hit" and then we are back in our window?

So, was I really that far off after all? No. We're still desperate for key forwards.

Not really a pump your chest out moment champ. Aside from the obvious, carrying 8 KPFs on a list is stupid, even if we drafted another 3 KPF's we'd be in the same place we are now. Goodwin wouldnt play 18 year olds that aren't ready like he's doing with Jefferson

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

And then you get to looking over the draft itself and realising how light on for KPF talent it was.
