Game Day 2019 AFL Draft

[sr36]

So we keep drafting, trading midfielders and a few defenders. When will we try fix the apparent achilles heel of ours in tall forwards?

Does anyone know how our marks inside 50 stats compared to opposition clubs.

 

[Unknown Identity]

We passed on our Rookie selection.

 

[Crazy Tails]

So does anyone think we will take a player in the Rookie Draft?

No. We officially passed.

Bit hard with NO High Picks

Crows just took Crocker.

 

[Moeydw]

Crocker to the Crows. Good luck!

When we identify players who we rate better than the ones we've taken.
I thought it's pretty simple really.

I can't complain with our draft haul last night.
Shifter rated Rantall at around pick 15 and many rated Bianco inside higher than where we took him.

Obviously the number taken is irrelevant now once you're in the system but hopefully we've nailed some players - and this is where Derek earns his money--you're not always going to have those early picks to nail players so it's imperative he finds and lands players in the 2nd/3rd/4th rounds etc of drafts if we are to continue to maintain competitive.

So reading the pies social media apparently we got 3 guns after pick 40.....lol. talk about setting unreal expectations.

Every year we set the positives of our new players. Give them the generous introduction.

plenty of time for the less generous to sink the boots in.

[Timmy from Thomastown]

If you can’t get Grundy to move to South Australia, take his brother instead

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Riley Grundy rookied At Port.

The rookie draft is becoming quite the farce with clubs delisting and then taking players back. Why do we have it?
Just scrap it and have one primary list, simple.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Sam Murray didn't get on a list.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Surprise surprise, Murray doesn't get picked up.

 

[shizzle]

No surprise Murray didn't get picked up, too busy smashing bongs

 

[rand corp]

So we got:

1. An elite runner
2. An elite user
3. An elite mark

 

[neilk]

So we got:

1. An elite runner
2. An elite user
3. An elite mark

He sounds like a great player.

Didn't look for xfactor small fwds who are crumbing types rather then play tall leading games like ours are, this is a position that regularly gets filled with success later in drafts.

KPF is harder to fill late so agree there.

Overall sounds like we have done well with picks but wouldn't of hurt to hit the xfactor smalls as well given iirc we still had a couple free list spots.

As clubs now can “trial” players and list them later, if Lynden Dunn comes up nicely and healthy to go, he’ll be added (or kept) on our list.

otherwise we are complete.

Nb: not that the club website will update the profiles or update the photos

 

[surfer1]

We didnt rookie Dunn

 

[HFF]

We didnt rookie Dunn

Hopefully we don't waste our time either in March.
As sad as it is, it's over- we don't have a need for him especially at 33 yrs old and back to back ACLs

Personally for the hand we had, I liked what we did in this draft. I think we went with best available and I think we need more younger running players.

It seems the Pies have tried something different to other clubs and filled their key position requirements with rookies who haven’t been in the system long so have significant potential. And why not? It’s rare for a new KPP recruit to have an immediate impact anyway. Unless you have a top 12 pick to secure one, best off going to way the club is.

It’s obviously a risky strategy, but I like the fact we are not following the other clubs and looking at it from a different angle. If it’s successful and we have a couple of kids come on, it will certainly change the draft in the future.

We have a few talls who have now had a year in the system. We only need 2 to come on. In the interim, Cox is still our best bet up forward with Mihocek.

Not yet. Plenty of opportunities to do so later. H needs to price his fitness before we commit,
