I've always found things like mock drafts as a great way to appreciate the smaller things that can make a player valuable. Every first round draftee is basically just a regular "this kid is fast, jumps high and kicks the ball far". The later picks you really have to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and see what separates them from hundreds of other 17/18 year olds hoping to be draftedI've enjoyed myself. Know a lot more draftees than I did beforehand too. This is my first year following footy but I'm a bit obsessive about learning when I discover a new thing I like.
Went in with a semi plan. Thought there was half a chance Finn would get bid on just before the first pick. If that was the case it would have been a difficult decision to take him then have the next live pick at 30 iirc. When selection 12 came up all the previous picks had taken who i considered clear linear talent. With Hawthorn losing Cyril, Roughy retiring, Breust getting older and Poppy on his last legs there is a clear need for forward talent to come through the doors.Hawthorn
Pick 12 - Elijah Taylor
Pick 19 - Finn Maginness
Pick 51 - Flynn Perez
Pick 55 - Tyrone Thorne
_M_16_Who's up next?
Silvagni, although the G is silent so I see your point totally never understood silent letters myself just makes theCmon M16, just draft a Silvani and be done with it ā
I've removed the passed picks which is why the numbers have got weird. Was getting really cluttered and not exactly clear who was coming upApologies if I got my pick number wrong. Pick before mine was 65, yet the first page says its pick 63.
Missed all my targets with the second round pick, which is why I accepted a slight downgrade in the first round. And failed to land a small pressure forward with some class as intended. Probably a B- or C from me. But added some class from the backline and a solid winger. So addresses two of the three needs.
Bit hard on yourself buddy, some upside there, had you taking "Janet" at that pick.Apologies if I got my pick number wrong. Pick before mine was 65, yet the first page says its pick 63.

You're not out of touch "Janet" is Jai Jackson or J. Jackson, I like to give them names, you followed up ShooterYeah I guess so haha. We are all our harshest critics as they say. I don't mind my choices at all. It is a weak draft depth wise after all, so its slim pickings for all of us after pick 30. That's why I went players with more natural football ability more than athleticism late, as there is more chance of them coming through. Felt I reached for Shute at 30, but then again he wouldn't be there at my next pick in the 60's
Pardon me for being out of touch, but which player is "Janet"?
Thanks Virgin Dog for tagging me in this. First time doing it, was interesting.
We decided not to subject further kids to career suicide.Where are we up to? Melbourne have only had 2 picks.
