Who DON'T you want your team to draft? 2023 Edition

[Lia]

M Edwards.

 

[Bic]

How do you know where he was rated by a lot of recruiters?

ITK

 

[VinnieB]

Archer Reid. Will be worse than Lemney. A sure bust.

 

[VinnieB]

West Coast offered their F1st for him, so 2 clubs rated him.

Also 100% of clubs select him at pick 12 so...

Did Dodrongo tell you this?
Surely your mum taught you not to believe people like this?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Koltyn Tholstrup or Daniel Curtin

Tholstrup game wont transition to AFL unless something drastic happens to his running game and Curtin just wont be anything more then that okayish 3rd tall. Id be surprised if either end up the best W.A player in this draft

The same thing was said about Stevie J.

Tholstrup has all the tools. Good pick by the Dees.

 

[VinnieB]

Archer Reid. Will be worse than Lemney. A sure bust.

Whew!!! Thank you West Coast

'We wanted him, so why not?': Inside the trades that shaped the first round of the AFL Draft

As soon as highly-touted West Australian Daniel Curtin started to slide, the phones started to ring, creating a domino effect on draft night. Jasper Chellappah takes a look inside the trades that shaped a wild first round of the 2023 AFL Draft.

www.espn.com.au

West Coast kept its future first on the table after Curtin was gone, with Caddy in their sights. It was a tempting prize for the Cats, but their list retool called for an immediate influx of talent which the Bombers could aid.

 

[RUNVS]

Collingwood didn't take Arie but it's still hard to see him drafted. Painfully ironic he's off to the Saints.

It is disappointing he was drafted.

 

[ChristianBoy]

Elite talent and deserves his chance. Possibly the steal of the draft.

It seems the Eagles, despite picking up Harley Reid, otherwise had an ordinary draft given they wanted both Curtain and Collard.
Looks like an act of desparation.

Hardly an elite talent.

Will be lucky to play 30 games at St Kilda (wouldn't play a dozen games at most other clubs) IMO. He isn't an unknown. There was obviously more than 1 reason why he slid to 62.
Probably getting absolutely maggoted right now.

Makes you wonder why they are so open to trade out what could be pick 1 next year..its supposed to be a strong midfielder draft this far out.

I would have thought putting 23 and their f2 up they could have snagged one of norths back ended 1sts at least to get in another quality player with reid?..

Pretty idiotic to make that determination so quickly.
Don't really care about missing Collard tbh, and Finn O'Sullivan/Jagga Smith > Dan Curtin.
Just got to be prepared to be patient.

Might have something to do with the WA talent next year - worst it's been in decades.

There was only WA prospect taken this year by both Freo and Eagles. Also Freo have 3 first round picks next year.

Elite by foot and exceptional reader of the play.

First kid to have a drink which obviously is a huge concern

Hopefully nearly getting not drafted is the kick up the bum he needs to become a better person.

You obviously havent encountered him personally then.

Have actually.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Have actually.

Were you blindfolded when you spent time with him? Because that would explain a lot.
