you've got Jayden Laverde twice, Essendon have an end of first round compo instead of a first rounder and GC have a pick immediately following Geelong's FWIW

Fix that up now

What sort of player is Liam Duggan ?

What sort of player is Liam Duggan ?

From Knightmare:

#7 Richmond – Liam Duggan (VIC – Def/Mid)
Height: 183cm, Weight: 76kg, DOB: 11/12/1996
Recruited from: Western Jets
Style:
Player comparison: Luke McDonald
Range: 3-15
Profile: Duggan is a classy player who can play both off a back flank or through the midfield to a high standard. He’s showing this year that he can win his own ball and is also a very lively tackler through the midfield. He has some real pace but his real point of difference is his footskills. With ball in hand Duggan is all class using it well on his left foot, doing damage with his precision kicking and vision to see the best targets up the field ultimately more often than not making the right decision. He hits targets both over short and long distances so you want the ball in his hands. He also has an above average burst of speed and some linebreaking ability. Duggan has excellent ability down back to read the ball in the air and take the intercept mark. As a December birthday and with his strong continued development there is lots of improvement left

You just know that Carlton will take a midfielder though!

Good effort though. The draft runs pretty deep.

I think Carlton passing a KPP if one of the Big 5 is there then that is Completely Stupid by them but Knowing what they have done in the Past. Them Taking a Mid is a Very Strong Chance

The same team that took Kane Lucas when a few KPP were on the table.

I'd actually be going for a KPP forward specialist for Essendon at our pick, CHF or full forward. Don't really want a ruck forward.

Is Kennedy better than Pendlebury?

Have to take the best player with your first pick. We probably won't pass if Durdin is there and we have a top five pick. Yet we shouldn't sneeze at Petracca or Brayshaw with Judd on the way out. Group think has Goddard or Durdin as a Henderson-type prospect.

We want to add outside class to our midfield. Won't reach for a KPP if he isn't competitive like Henderson. Like Ahern's reports. Our midfield lacks a pacy running mid.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Our midfield lacks a pacy running mid.

Sure...but your KPP's are Casboult and that is it. Henderson could be a gun CHB!

 

[Dav1d]

would be happy with Durdin, now a second round please?

was going to do a mock draft, but don't have much to add as far as player write ups

big 5?, who would be the 5th mate? good draft though, if only mccartin would slip to us

Durdin, Keitel, Goddard, Wright, McCartin?

thats my guess

The Big 5 is Moore,McCartin,Wright,Goddard and Durdin.

I know that Moore will go to Collingwood as Father Son but these guys have been the talk for 2-3 Years

 

[HBF]

Not sure i'd have Goddard in the top 10 after his champs.
Marchbank might be the big mover as well come draft day.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Really think Paul Ahern will be a big mover, elite kick and can hit the scoreboard.

Yep, I think Goddard is a bit of a stretch at the really pointy end of the draft. If McCartin, Wright and Durdin are gone I think Carlton might well go mid for their first pick - Weller, Ahern, Pickett all have their attractions (assuming Petracca and Brayshaw gone, although i think Carlton would possibly look for elite pace anyway if they went mid with their first pick).

Tend to agree.

His game against WA down at Simmonds Stadium was the best I have seen him play. Got touches everywhere, did the 1%ers and also capable of the sublime. Sublime talent.

What is his pace like?

Pretty good.

 

[Bailey01]

Any chance on Goddard sliding to the crows pick?

 

[Masto]

Eagles need some height in the midfield. I think we'd be more inclined to take Laverde or De Goey in that situation.

I say at the moment it’s not very Likely
