We’re won’t draft a mature aged player
Barass, in all your wisdom you are telling us that even with pick 1 and an open list spot we will not be giving someone a crack at the mid season draft?!!?!?!
Surely the club would be foolish not to, its like getting free spins at the pokies then just walking away from the machine
If you went through every draft there has always been a gun mature age (over 19) player in each draft, surely one will bob up for us.
Maybe someone they think will be high on the draft list come November. Tipping a lot of teams will do this.Yay, another 18-19 year old who will need a few years to have an impact.

Don't think there's usually many overlooked kids picked up in the first 40 or so picks, if at all.Maybe someone they think will be high on the draft list come November. Tipping a lot of teams will do this.
So we're treating it like a free shot at the best top aged draftees.We’re won’t draft a mature aged player
Yeah but some do improve after missing the draft. Probably one of the reasons they drafted Finbar, if he had of played another year of U/18s he may rise up the draft list.Don't think there's usually many overlooked kids picked up in the first 40 or so picks, if at all.
It highlights the problems of not having club under 19's.Yeah but some do improve after missing the draft. Probably one of the reasons they drafted Finbar, if he had of played another year of U/18s he may rise up the draft list.
Used to love the U/19s, as a teenager we left home at 7 30am walk about 6 ks watch all the games and get home at about 7 30pm. As i got older 7 30pm became very late.It highlights the problems of not having club under 19's.
I know the Premier league still have their youth academys and that is a great system.
From what I've heard/seen, his kicking is really not great, but maybe not as dogshit as Josh. Also yet to prove himself as an accumulator (i.e. Josh got 36 disposals on the weekend, and it doesn't look like Kyle is capable of that kind of output yet). Either way, I doubt Kyle makes it past both Carlton and Sydney because he definitely has huge potential - would have been one of those 2nd round mature agers if he lasted until the main draft this year I thinkKyle Dunkley playing for Bulldogs VFL this weekend.
Sydney keen asked the AFL if they still had father son rights.
Could be either Blues or Swans depending who has earlier pick.
Whats his kicking like? Does he kick like a Dunkley?
Same. Teenager into twenties.Used to love the U/19s, as a teenager we left home at 7 30am walk about 6 ks watch all the games and get home at about 7 30pm. As i got older 7 30pm became very late.

So he can’t kick and does not get much of it yet ... why are clubs interested ? ...From what I've heard/seen, his kicking is really not great, but maybe not as dogshit as Josh.

Yep, but it is a matter of who gets to them first.
I will be interested how many players are retired in a couple of weeks time to help their own club out fill their spot with someone much younger. Surely Jordan Lewis is a prime pick to be a candidate. With Roughead dropped he might be worth putting boots up too. Be nice if Levi did for us but I understand he will want to go on as long as he can. Sandilands, McVeigh and Scott Selwood are some others. I reckon by the time draft comes around almost every club will get involved.
Do we not get first crack as we are on the bottom?
