The draft order for the mid-season rookie draft is the reverse ladder order after Round 11, with the number of picks dependent on the number of open list spots. (Spots opened up as LTIs/retirees are put on the inactive list.)

Pies passing on Callow when they are playing their best defender forward was strange.

Johnson is a forward too.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Be interesting to see how Hawthorn manage all of Lewis, Kozi, Jeka and now Callow. Reasonable chance all crack it but I struggle to see them getting near the Roughead/Franklin/Dunstall/Brereton-tier. Guess some of them could play in defence.

Just a shotgun blast of average forwards and maybe one makes it. I don't think it's gonna cause a logjam.

Ruckmen seem to have gotten a lot bigger in the last 10 years.

It's the growth hormones in the chicken.

Mitch Lewis might be in strife

Ruckmen seem to have gotten a lot bigger in the last 10 years.

Players of every position have grown

Key forwards of 2005 - 2015 - JJK, Riewoldt, Hall, Cloke, Schulz were 193 - 196cm size
Key forwards of 2020 - 2030 - Mckay, King x 2, Naughton, Hipwood, JUH are the 195 - 205cm size

Ha ha the young North ‘ 202cm beast ‘ might have wanted to take his teddy bear down off the shelf before his interview

Probably gets him laid, while you're at home on BigFooty.

Even he's taller than Tony Liberatore.

 

[Smythe]

Twomey openly said on the AFL Facebook page that it's Parker.

for those that listened

 

[Soapy V]

Jordan Boyd - Small Fwd from Bulldogs. Didn't see that happening. Does fills a role we need filling. Good Luck to the kid

Just watched highlights of Boyd and although bio says small forward he looks like a running defender. Nice size, seems to have good leg speed and a very good ball user

Yep, looks like a very good kick on the highlights package. Fingers crossed he establishes himself.

 

[TradeDraft]

Yeah the suns but we would of taken Ned before Ash. Pies could of had both Johnson and Callow in a perfect world

I thought the Crows where very Interested in Johnson

[Crow till I die]

I thought the Crows where very Interested in Johnson

maybe they were..but when their pick was after Collingwood, it was a moot point

 

[Dogga6]

I LOL'd at Collingwood's selections.

 

[Crow till I die]

I LOL'd at Collingwood's selections.

Why..Ash Johnson can play. I have seen him numerous times live this year and he has some x factor about him and knows where the goals are. Could be an astute pick up for them

Bwahahaha I remember hearing that at school in the 80’s for why Mediterranean men were developing breasts instead of chests.

 

[briztoon]

I said we needed a ruckman, and we drafted a ruckman.

 

[THE_GUN]

Blues didn't pick Maher or Gribble. Interesting and surprised

Really interesting that Carlton decided to pass on Maher and select Boyd then to pass altogether leaving Maher hanging
Must be some serious issue's with this kid to be passed up now on 3 drafts (rookie and MSD)

 

[weltschmerz]

I respect a man who doesn't hide his teddy.

 

[weltschmerz]

Also is he a clone? Reminds me a lot of Sam Berry

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Mitch Lewis might be in strife

Not yet, O'brein, Nash and Brooksby to go first.

That's my hope for Callow.

 

[dean33]

not a chance, they would play chol and ryan before considering a fresh ruck developer or a jackson thurlow type. club whisper is that we may have almost seen the last of cotchin unfortunately (outside issues), whether its that he goes on for the rest of the year but retires at the end of this year or finishes up next year, they need a mid replacement for him (they have a plethora of mid/fwd spreaders) someone who is frantic at the ball and a clearance specialist (freeman), or a solid kpd prospect (schlensog). are they backing themselves to get cerra, or will they cover that position just in case with a pick tonight. got a feeling the spot has been offered to freeman.

So we either have seen the last of Cotch or he might finish at the end of this year or might retire at the end of next year. So you’ve pretty much covered all bases there. Surprised you didn’t also throw in he might retire in 2 years as well.
