Preview 2022 draft prospects

Remove this Banner Ad

Harry Barnett debuting for West Adelaide in league this weekend. While Scully and Lemmey both still in the U18 team (big demotion for Lemmey in the last month. Went from League to reserves to U18)
But as someone pointed out to me, they are better off playing U18, given how poor their league side is who have had 25 straight losses. Would be tough to be a forward in that side, especially in a poor side.

Phillipou looks likely to be a special player like Duursma in next years class.

Surprised no love todate for Pheonix Foster, it will happen!

COLLINGWOOD

Draft picks:
13, 41, 45, 47

List state of play: Some key-position players – ideally at both ends of the field — would be handy. Collingwood is ranked 14th for goals conceded from key forwards this season. With Jordan Roughead retiring and several other tall backs struggling with injuries, the Pies could be on the hunt for a key defender. Mind you, if Mason Cox and Darcy Cameron are going to be sharing the ruck-forward load long-term, a key forward could be just as important, especially with Brody Mihocek turning 30 before next season.

Ideal draft prospects: There are several key-defensive options in this draft class, although not many at the top of the draft. WA’s Jedd Busslinger, a 197cm backman, is widely regarded as the best intercept defender of this year’s class and a possible top-10 pick. He averaged 22 disposals, seven marks and 5.5 intercepts for WA in the champs before being wrapped in cotton wool due to a shoulder injury. Whether he’s still available at the Pies’ pick, though, remains uncertain. If not, Eastern Ranges’ Lewis Hayes would be in the mix, as would Vic Country’s James Van Es and WA’s Hugh Davies — three players that have shown strong spoiling and intercepting traits during the champs. Tassie’s Tom McCallum and Oakleigh Chargers’ Josh Weddle have also impressed as key backs in the carnival. As for the forwards, athletic 198cm North Adelaide prospect Isaac Keeler is rocketing up after an exciting few months, to the point where he’s in late first-round contention, which is where the Pies are set to pick. The key forward, who can also play in the ruck, has averaged two goals per game for SA in the champs. He’s tied to the Crows through their Next Generation Academy, but Adelaide can’t match a rival bid inside the top 40 picks — and it’s hard to see Adelaide using its first pick on him at this stage.

Ive been saying Keeler since last year, it looks like the stars are aligning

What’s our picks at the moment again?

No doubt one of, if not both JDG & Grundy will be used to shake up a big post season draft/Trade period to get us back up there for 2023

Exciting season coming up ( I know 2022 not over yet )

Cadman kicked 3 goals early into the second. Strong hands, moves well, sharp on the lead, perfect for our selection. Unfortunately don't see him being there for us.
Hollands is a machine midfielder. Runs all day, absolutely everywhere.

Cadman will go early. Possibly the first key forward drafted. A shame given be bases his game off Jeremy Cameron
