List Mgmt. Mid Season Draft 2021 Player Watch

[Waynesworld]

What’s Lindsay Thomas doing nowadays?..

I was thinking if only we had a Taylor Garner type in our side

What are the knocks on Callow? Why was he not drafted?

Agility and little undersized (height wise) for a key forward. He doesn't test well for speed either.

He makes up for it with elite contested marking and excellent forward craft.

I'd prefer we'd have taken him in the rookie draft over Menadue.

Height wise, he’s taller than Carey - if he builds the body strength and is a good contested mark, I don’t reckon that 193.6cm is an issue.

Agree with you that given the needs of our list, rookie listing him would have made sense.

Need a more athletic KPF than larkey that can fly for marks.

Some ruck options for the mid season.

Max HEATH

Clubs: Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Position: Ruck

Size: 203cm/94kg

S The Victorian looms as one of the better ruck prospects despite being one of the little known prospects ahead of the draft. Heath had some eye-catching moments over the pre-season, with 2020 set to be a big year for the tall. But unfortunately clubs weren’t able to see as much as they had hoped of the competitive beast. He is willing to tackle hard to win the ball back and is able to be a marking target close to goal. His endurance is a work in progress but he is the perfect player who can develop in an elite program.

HENRY WALSH

Clubs: Geelong Falcons/Vic Country

Position: Ruck

Size: 203cm/87kg

Bio: Walsh is one of the best ruck prospects in the country and could find a home late in the draft. He is the brother of Carlton’s No.1 draft pick Sam, with the tall having completely different traits to the midfielder. He is a good player at ground level and wins a number of clearances with his follow-up work. He was expected to have a huge role at state and NAB League level, but hasn’t been able to show how much he has developed in 12 months.


KPP

LIAM KOLAR



Clubs: Northern Knights/Vic Metro

Position: Utility

Size: 195cm/81kg

Bio: Clubs certainly have plenty of interest in the 18-year-old who has turned all of his attention from soccer to AFL. The ceiling for Kolar is high and he could well end up as a top-30 selection come draft night. He has tested strongly in the endurance and speed categories in recent seasons, showing he can play as a key tall at either end or even end up on a wing. He averaged 5.5 marks in the NAB League last season

JACKSON CALLOW

Clubs: North Launceston/Tasmania/Allies

Position: Key Forward

Size: 194cm/100kg

Bio: Just as the career of one Tasmanian appears to be coming to an end, another door opens. If the Tigers want a key forward this late in the draft, Callow might be the most obvious name. The strong bodied tall clunked plenty of contested marks each game and is a strong kick for goal. While he has some work to do athletically, there’s plenty to like about his game.

Would like all 4 of those blokes

Out of those 4, Callow seems like the one we need most.

We know the versatility has been spoken about a lot, so Kolar could be the one instead.

 

[Shermanator]

We’re really light on for a Goldy replacement if doesn’t come on.

Even though Larkey is getting spanked atm, I would lean towards taking Walsh and get him in the system and learning the craft off Goldy and big Tom ASAP.

We will probably finish bottom two, so in the ND Horne or Sinn comes straight in and our second pick which we should package up with an experienced player to move down the order and use that on the best KPF available.

Saying that I wouldn’t be disappointed if Callow ended up walking into Arden St either.

Agree, Larkey is not mobile

He was two seasons ago tho.

I wonder if something is up with him.

 

[Snake_Baker]

How many of these post draft types actually go on to make it?

5-10%?

 

[tales129]

I’d be pushing for Walsh - let him play second fiddle forward and chop goldy out in the ruck, will give us better balance going forward

 

[Harris 10]

Probably right, but last year was very unique and I'd be surprised if a number of players that missed last years draft go on to have good AFL careers.

Another ruck to keep an eye on is Kalin Lane. I recall eDPS rated him behind Neale and Heath, but Neale got drafted:

It’s a tough one, Neale has been played forward to help develop his marking and just making him a more well rounded footballer. I think he needs a few years to develop his forward craft and I think he would be a very good project player for a club but hard to tell his range. Lane has had a very good month and has developed in his own right, like how he competes at ground level and his contested marking has improved as the year has gone on. On upside and versatility you take Neale but if you want a more reliable ruck option it’s hard to go past Lane who is right up in calculations to be the best ruck in this draft.

Yes mostly because they also have the capacity to play forward aswell. Kalin Lane isn’t too far behind those two for me.

Any thoughts on Lane Waussie ?

Jacob Edwards also from Sandringham is another ruck to look out for, less developed than the others but arguably more athletic and exciting compared to Heath and Lane

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

A key forward and a pacey small forward.

From 2020.

He has come a long way since that game

I also note his birthday is 22/11/2002. He would have been one of the youngest in last years pool.

Turns 19 in November, so is eligible for the mid season draft.. Eddie Ford is the youngest player on our list born in June 2002.

Even if he was drafted in this years mid season, he's still be the youngest player on the list by about 5 months and only about 3-4 months older than some 2021 draftees.

Probably the exact type of player the u/19's was designed for.

Probably similar % to Larkey at pick 73

His testing.. because on the field he is a very very good player.

Bulked up too much and lost all the mobility probably.

left footer too.....likey!!!

 

[Sphynx]

Callow is a 19 year old Josh Walker.

He's exactly the big body we should be trying to develop as a bit of a stop gap before we go to the draft (from 2022 onwards probably) for our KPP spots.

He doesn't look that big to me tho. He still looks like he should be able to move well.
