Review 2019 AFL National Draft

[eDPS]

Very suspect timing after I drop him from my top 30 for the first time this year

 

[giantroo]

Can rule him out coming to North unless we're planning to trade into the first round again.

Heard something or guessing?

It's a strange situation... a couple of journos are starting to buzz about him but it's not like he's added to his arsenal since he was touted as a mid-late second rounder.

Of course, same could be said about people like Brayshaw and Taranto over recent years, they both shot in late.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Ask Curtis Taylor how his invitation to draft night went.

 

[Groin guru]

Damn draft period.

"I'd settle for player x"

player X moves out of contention

"NO!!! I really wanted player X!!!"

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Doubt he'll be there at our pick, but I'd love it if he was. Rivers is a smooth mover. the way he kicks the ball actually reminds me of Jess Sinclair. Almost text book perfect.

I'd argue he is one of the classiest players in the draft

Just my opinion.

Currently listening to the Road to the Draft episode that came out today and Cal just said Kosi's draft range was 35+. Doesn't get much right without his whispers.

Pickett has started being talked up out of the blue to <20 and Gould talked down to >20 (based on his combine results). If Pickett goes before Gould I will eat my hat.

Afternoon all.
I’m drafting for North in the Blues mock draft this year.
Nobody knows their clubs needs better than the rank and file so i thought I’d drop in here to gauge what you guys see as priorities for North this year.
I’m guessing a small forward but keen to hear your thoughts.
Consecutive picks are nice and I’ll be doing my best for North here.
Cheers in advance

 

[The acurate one]

Just to interrupt the concerns about us missing out on player X at 26 who was available at 8, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess we were aware 26 was a later pick than 8 at the time of the trade.

Agree I feel the current crop would get that, not sold on those that have left understanding that

1. Genuine two way running mids
2. Small Forward
3. Key Defender
4. Developing Ruck
Distributing Half Back.

Ideally what we don’t want is half forwards or mids that can’t find the football.

Confirmed in the article above


Sam Flanders – North Melbourne: “It’s all from Dad’s side. Dad’s dad down and it’s just been passed on and had no real choice.

That explains a few things giantroo......

 

[Ether]

Gould hasn’t been invited to the draft so start eating haha

Think I might wait til draft night. Invitation <> selection. We drafted Curtis Taylor at 46 last year after he was invited.

Hi Roos,
I have just had my final pick of Bulldogs mock draft.
Selected - Rantall, Pickett, Ralphsmith, and Comben.
What do you think?

A couple of ole timers would be happy with the first two names regardless if they can play.

I’d be over the moon with that draft. The first two are pretty much exactly what we need, followed by a bit of x-factor in Ralphsmith and a developing ruck/forward in Comben.

I was happy how it turned out. Was looking for a key defender our rebounding defender with 3rd pick but couldn’t knock back Ralphsmith who slid further than I thought. I was looking at Hilder but he went a few picks earlier.

Current players taken

Dylan Willaims
Sam De Koning
Hugo Ralphsmith
Ned Cahill

with the last pick I’m debating between a rebound defender or ruckman. What’s everyone’s preference? I’m pretty open to suggestions of other types of players with the last pick

We wont be using 5 picks at the draft under any circumstance so pass would be appropriate.

Gould talked down to >20 (based on his combine results)

Twomey seemed pretty confident on draft desk that Gould will slide. He suggested Cats #24 as a likely spot.
