Game Day 2022 AFL Draft thread.....

[dazbroncos]

We usually do a GD Draft thread to keep the stuff out if the Drafting and trading thread.

WE will close that one for now and reopen after the draft.

Ive copied the last 25 posts over to keep the chat going.

All Draft talk in here now please.

GO Catters

My hand is up….

I think he ended up getting the first 12 right.

 

[year of the cat]

Bloody rapt. Watched Jhye last year tear it up and assumed we’d be no chance of landing him. To win the flag PLUS get him is ridiculous.

 

[CatRiot]

Interesting, but obvious selection...

Lot of competition for inside-mid spots with next gen - Simpson, Parfitt, Willis, Clark, Bruhn, Holmes, Kroeger, Bowes, Knevitt...

Probably Kroeger, Simpson, Willis, Knevitt won't make it, with injuries and maybe not good enough I think.

If we don't get a key defender, we need to get the best outside mid... maybe Jacob Ryan as an outside mid or defender.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

F**CKKKK YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

Jack The Godfather time to celebrate!!!!

You better believe it.

The 12 hats are safe Jack The Godfather

Poor thing. He's gonna wake up a very, very happy man though!

Very happy indeed.

Knevitt is criminally underrated around here. Time will tell.

The afl trying to make more product by splitting the draft ... has made a yawn feat of the first round ... not till late did it really get interesting. One can only hope tonight is more riveting.


If they really want to copy the draft over seas.... then you have to really copy it.


Would the draft day movie really work without the ability for the costner character to trade players?

 

[Two Planks]

If all goes to plan and we have a selection at 52, Clohesy Cat B and Riccardi rookie, how many other picks if any will we have in the rookie draft.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Very smart by Sydney

Gws should have passed on rowston
I think caruso wanted to pass and got overruled.

2 other cat a rookie picks we would have (in addition to osca and dempsey)

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I’m really hoping for a key defender tomorrow night. Ethan Phillips please

I want him too but i reckon he goes before then.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I think the opposite.

 

[Two Planks]

I think the opposite.

You've been right this month already, hope you're due to be wrong.

 

[BORIS332]

I think he ended up getting the first 12 right.

Might be his best ever result:

Sheesh! You've just put a line thru Wellsy's 2021 draft after a year to the day... bar Conway who is probably another 3 seasons away.
Big Big call... Must admit I Don't see... Yet.

Some players we have been linked to tonight:

Joe Richards – 22yrs – MID – 175cm

Cam Owen – 18yrs – RUC – 203cm

Phoenix Foster – 18yrs – RUC/FWD – 197cm

Jovan Petric – 18yrs – FWD – 196cm

Mitch Szybkowski – 18yrs – MID – 186cm

Billy Dowling – 18yrs – MID – 187cm

Archie Lovelock – 17yrs – MID – 178cm

Frank Szekely – 23yrs – UTIL – 177cm

Will Verrall – 18yrs – RUC/FWD – 199cm

 

[Two Planks]

So we have 3 more players to add.

My thoughts would be 2 developing talls and 1 rookie selection saved for the mid season draft.

Hoping Van Es is available at our pick.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Convenient.

AFL controlled event. Not surprised tbh.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

You've been right this month already, hope you're due to be wrong.

I hope I'm wrong too obviously but I just think he's slow with no tricks.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

I hope I'm wrong too obviously but I just think he's slow with no tricks.

You've just described Charlie Constable and Cooper Stephens pretty much lol.
FWIW i think Knevitt has much more to offer than Cooper ever did.
Congrats on your Clark pick. Hope he lives up to all the hype.

Both Constable and Stephens know how to find the ball.

Bit like Selwood and Atkins then.

Leg speed would have to be the most overrated trait in our game.

Both of those compensate their lack of speed in other areas.

In 15 VFL games Knevitt averaged 15.5 dpg.

I'm not writing him off but I see nothing at the moment that screams AFL player.

Let's hope he puts on some more size and gains a little more confidence.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I'm hoping for Lemmey or Foster tonight.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Yep... In the VFL
