DRAFT PROJECTION: Late-Rookie

That's what AFL draft central had him at - hence why barely any of us had heard of him...and we gave up a Future 1st in a stronger draft for him.

Don't care what anyone says, this is not a good move, and I can see a Lang, Thurlow, Smedts, scenario happening here. Other clubs might have been interested, but he's an athlete and a development player - not a footballer. That's why he should have gone later

Refer you to #7261....a heap of clubs interested....he was never going much further so we nabbed him...

If you actually look at Holmes he projects VERY VERY well, he just doesn't have the consistent showing that some of the other players have. I think he has the tools to make a lot of recruiters look bad. Its 100% potential but that is the 2020 draft.

 

[BennyGan]

probably a good sign that people dont like the holmes pick lol. I swear the kids that everyone likes always suck for us.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

So we should choose players by lotto then? Sack wells Unless he knows how to cheat at lotto.

Or just structure your draft have so you can make selections on exposed footy.

One of these drafts is better than the other through a simple law of averages. Why are we trading out of the good one?

Why do you post this so much? I think the message has been sent.

So we are 6 picks away for our next selection yeah?

 

[Gee Class Loco]

For a start next years draft is laden with talent. Most "experts" think that there is a full round of talent difference between this year and next year. Secondly there is no guarantee that we may fall away if we get a bad run of injury. Thirdly, is a speculative kid worth trading out a first round pick in an apparently great draft for? Not me that's the overnight expert.

Every year is laden with talent... but if I ask the average BigFooty.com poster name 10 blokes they can’t wait to see... I’d see a lot of blank faces I bet. As for speculative picks... everything after Pick 10 is for me.

carroll, trew, ford, baldwyn still there
wow

 

[gaz love x]

Little known Victorian Max Holmes is poised to be one of the shocks of the top 25 after gaining interest from multiple AFL clubs.

Foxfooty.com.au understands Richmond (Pick 17), Melbourne (Pick 18 and 19), St Kilda (Pick 21) and Hawthorn (Pick 24) are among the clubs eyeing-off the dashing midfielder at the pointy end of the draft, despite the Melbourne Grammar product being virtually unseen on the football field.

Ok this answers my question from a couple of posts ago, seems like he might not have made it to pick 30-odd. Fair enough.

 

[calder_daddy]

That’s if we use it, if not it doesnt really matter

I hope we do
I don’t want a recycled Carlton player

It's only posted once, and just marked as a sticky note to stay at the top of each page - no excuse for people to not read it and say they didn't know there was a warning should they step out of line & be infracted

 

[Shadow89]

carroll, trew, ford, baldwyn still there
wow

And Wells will pick none of them lmao

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Clearly with the new rules around interchange rotations clubs are looking for high endurance players and holmes is certainly that..i think we didnt want to risk melbourne taking him as they were linked at 21.

 

[CatRiot]

Crows will go Poulter with their next.

 

[BennyGan]

I wonder if we honestly thought someone else was going to take this kid before our next pick. I'm not one to get upset about selecting x or y player because the truth is the draft is a lottery but trading up to get a player we didn't need to trade up for is always frustrating.

saints and dees reportedly wanted him

 

[Grimoz]

carroll, trew, ford, baldwyn still there
wow

Would take any of them but want Ford the most, Baldwin i would hesitate on the most but i reckon we might take the chance

 

[Shadow89]

Refer you to #7261....a heap of clubs interested....he was never going much further so we nabbed him...

Do you reckon he was worth our Future 1st though?

 

[Kyuss]

Will this finish at midnight?

 

[David the Cat]

Ford still there...Winder still there...Berry still there..Baldwin still there....

What a guru I am....

 

[foxdog50]

We can trade back into 2021 r1 if we want with all those 2021 r2 picks..

Id rather use all 2nd round picks at the draft... as they say the depth is ment to be stronger

 

[CatToTheFuture]

probably a good sign that people dont like the holmes pick lol. I swear the kids that everyone likes always suck for us.

Hope that's correct. I think he could be good. 189cm wingman, champion hurdler, certainly the attributes are there

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Ford still there...Winder still there...Berry still there..Baldwin still there....

What a guru I am....

I think there's a few keeping you company

Thanks for letting me know, appreciated.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

The guy we picked doesn't scream instant gratification to me. Seems like an attempt to pick the future athlete, just hope he can kick a football.

He definitely can just has some physical development to do.

 

[Grimoz]

Do you reckon he was worth our Future 1st though?

Question is though are any late 1st rounders guaranteed to be a success, i would have to say absolutely not, so Wells took a shot at something that has just as much chance of failing as any other pick.
