Draft Expert Davo-27's 2021 u18 Draft Thread

[RedmanWasHere]

Its strange how the NAB League kicks off with 1 game tomorrow, Calder Cannons v Western Jets, but im glad it is back, i wonder if they will show the games on youtube or the app in 2021?

just found this, so i guess it answers that question - " All matches will be streamed live through the NAB League App with thanks to Telstra. The App can be downloaded through the App Store. "

Why does it have to be through the app?

I'd want to watch any game on YouTube.

Not via any app.

Further to this, why does the AFL HAVE to make things difficult?

Whinge done.

Back to fantasising over talent at hand.

I'm just hoping they upload footage to youtube for the boys since they haven't been for the girls

What’s with NAB League app this year, no games being streamed?

The app does not even seem to be providing live scores this season, let alone streaming games.

They streamed today's game. Eventually lol

#11 - Archer (Northern) busy small defender
#2 - Long (Northern) also looking the goods, strong bone structure
#35 - Conway (Western) playing well

#10 - Blake Scott (GWV - Western NGA) also looking good

Think Blake Scott might be Bulldogs NGA. Can you elaborate more on what type of player he is?

didnt see all of that game, but he played forward as a small forward and i liked how he played.

Good luck getting a true sense for his game with the stream quality anyway, getting to live games will be a must in Victoria this year if they keep dishing out these poor streams. I think he and others could have looked more impressive with a better quality stream of the game and not so jittery

 

[Davo-27]

#3 Ward (Northern) had some good speed, but didnt stand out as much as the others for me

#6 Connor MacDonald (Dand) looked like an interesting defender, good height on leap and strong/brave intercept marking

i think Will Bravo also had some clean/skillful moments, there seemed to be a few others in the Dand v Gippsland game that did well, but i was busy and only caught 3/4's of the game while i was doing something else.

In the Gippsland backline maybe, be surprised if he entered the Rays defensive 50

you might be right, the only game i saw properly was the northern knights v western jets, i watched dandenong v gippsland, murray v bendigo and gwv v geelong while i was doing other things so i only got to see bits and pieces, im just throwing out names of kids i like the look of at this point, but i'll stand behind my northern knights/western jets kids i mentioned, Trudgeon and North were very impressive players, Ward is quick, Archer is a competitive player, loved his goal saving tackle and general energy on field, there were a few mid/sml sized players for Western, the best imo being Conway.

the other games i saw bits and pieces and liked some guys like MacDonald and Blake Scott, murray and bendigo no-one really stood out to me, but i probably wasnt paying attention as i could have.

 

[weltschmerz]

Any key backs looking promising so far? Dominic Akuei had a good write-up

i liked the african tall defender for Murray, even though Murray got beaten easily, not sure what his name was, i liked his aggression, competitiveness and ability to use the footy, Dominic Akuei for northern didnt catch my eye though as im trying to look for exceptional players (top 40 out of 13 teams and approx 500 players that get drafted from the NAB League), but he was ok in general and can jump.

Jackson Archer is North F/S I believe

Surely there's a stream for today's game?
