List Mgmt. 2022 AFL Draft & Rookie Draft

Delist.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Depending on the decade, that could be half the league... Saints haven't been recruiting poorly lately, just in the same boat as us in terms of what they want to do with the list.

Apparently they declined.

IMO our haul could have easily been Hewett, Clarke, Keeler and Lemmey while throwing less valuable future picks on the table for what seems to be a strong draft next year.

Massive red flag surely

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Really happy with our draft, addresses our poor running and ball movement issues. I wanted a dynamic/hybrid forward like Sheezle or Phillipou, but with hindsight, Kemp, Cunners, Kennedy and Ed could all fill this role.
Lachie Cowan is the exciting one, not sure what position he plays, but Tassie captain, Morrish Medalist, All- Australian and still only 17.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Hey guys, first time visiting your board (I believe).

It pains me to say it, but I thought you guys had a really good draft this year. Top 3 up there with West Coast and St Kilda.

There are a couple on here that are going to take umbrage with you [emoji23]

Okay, firstly, I wouldn't have picked any of those kids at those picks

What we have done, is added endurance and ball movement players, in Hollands, Cowan and Binns, all of who, win their own footy, which is very important

My concern, we really haven't addressed and or prioritised pure speed and footskills

Lemmey, COULD be the best tall of this draft, can play anywhere down the spine

I don't get the Bins selection to be honest. I would taken Hotton with that pick sure.

Seem to be putting a lot of hope in Martin, Cuningham, Honey and Philp having uninterrupted years/careers. Fingers crossed it pays off.

“we really haven't addressed and or prioritised pure speed and footskills” - not much we can do about speed, but over to training now for improved kicking

BTW adding Boyd, Acres, Kemp & Philp should add speed to the team

Look I get this, but what I don't get is a focused and professional football club having a similar approach when they have all the information on hand. This feels like we went too far to indulge Voss when he refused to really engage in implementing multiple alternatives offered to him by his assistant and development coaches.

What about those who can run quick while keeping their feet? Hollands, for all that he can do, is not that player enough compared to what was in that 10-25 range.

Lemmey is part of that answer, but I see him as more of a swingman. De Koning is another solve here, with the hope being that Mirkov kicks on. I wasn't expecting a ruck solve via the draft unless someone fell in our lap, and the Pittonet contract situation already sealed the deal a bit unless we went and snatched one of GWS' younger ruck options.

That's the plan, but they've got to manage more than 10 games between them. Durdin will lift, but Motlop needs a lot of fitness work.

Fingers are also crossed for Martin. People crying about defensive injury potential, but that forward half mix is like a hospital ward.

I think we've got third tall solves up forward now, especially with Cowan coming in: Kemp is going forward with certainty.

It's sad that we have so many people getting paid to leave the entire process of making crunch decisions to the elation or humiliation of a finals series.

While some of it comes from the mindset of the competitor and that can't always be imbued or fully identified prior, there's plenty that can be done and should be done, particularly if players are regularly failing at a task their peers aren't in the regular season.




I was locked and loaded to do a far more sarcastic and acerbic version of this list, but you missed one:

4. Pace setting for every training session, get the man a megaphone and just watch the PBs roll in

But that's a pissweak set of reasons, the real one is if his ankle is right he's still got enough about him, particularly if he can safely split time between the middle and the forward line, which will leave him fresh to unleash the speed aspect of his speed/endurance mix.

How do you know he refused to engage with recruiters were you a fly on the wall
and all your comments on our picks were negative nelly stuff how about we wait until we’ve seen how the lads go Jimmie

 

[Lace_Out]

Overall pretty happy with our selections.

Everyone of them can play and adds something we need. [emoji106]

Have to say…there is a fair bit of Sydney about our draft last night. No nonsense, meat and veg players. Safe but probably not misplaced at this stage of our list building particularly given the queries still on Philip, Kemp, Cuningham etc

All has been said about the players so my only qualm is the last time we went so hard to address our needs at the draft we went all in on talls and ended up with Watson, McCarthy and Mitchell in the one draft. I hope we’re not blinkered like that again.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Why should we have taken Hotton over Binns?

From the YouTube highlights, Mabo Vibe or the in-depth expert facts list managers have in front of them?

with the amount of AA players (including AA squad players) on our list we have the elite players covered, now we need the meat and veg players to fill out the side and improve the 15-22 players picked each week.

it would be kind of funny if binns gets a decent knock 'must be garbage night, opposition player* just took out bins'

So, what’s the story here, did we win the draft???

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Kind of reminds me a bit of the Weitering/McKay/Curnow draft. We need a spine? Let’s take 3 talls and hope a couple hit (all did obviously).

We need two way runners? Grab three of them and hope a couple come off.

 

[reubsblues]

I hope we take another tassie boy Seth Campbell in today's rookie draft

 

[katmanblue]

Surely that's just sensible risk management? Some safer options to guarantee a decent return plus something a bit more speculative that could turn into an outsized gain. One might almost call it a balanced portfolio.

Can any of our pick-ups be regarded as finishers?

Binns to an extent, Lemmey is a beautiful kick

 

[Jeremias]

We have one spot left and we’re taking Ed.

National level junior cricketer too.

Could be anything this kid....

 

[reubsblues]

We have one spot left and we’re taking Ed.

Dumb move will end up retiring half way through the yr because of soft tissue injuries

 

[Sin City]

My take on this year’s draft:

Like the Hollands pick, I agree with the Andrew Brayshaw

comparisons. He’ll will himself to become a quality player. I rated Hewett higher and think WC got away with some more ****ery like they did with Darling but we still got a good player who will show up week after week for years for us.

Cowan and Binns. Good players, good runners. Was it overkill? Perhaps a little. I don’t buy into BigFooty favourites, did not rate Phillipou or Allan as high as others this year but Hotton has performed, is from the best system and has the attributes. Would Hotton and one of these guys have been a better mix? Maybe. On Cowan though, worth noting that Docherty turns 30 next year, Saad and Williams both turn 29 so if he works out he’ll be ready to step in right as they’re stepping out.

Apart from a few nice small forwards and a few solid tall defenders this was a very average draft after the top 15 which I’ve mentioned a few times previously and this was confirmed by clubs trading out from about this point. We’ve got a solid all round list so I love that we went with Lemmey at our last pick. Nothing to lose, heaps to gain if he can get back to last year’s form.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

That's right, Cowan a 17yo, when he's 22, those names you mentioned will be in need of a good pasture....

Hard to believe Doc's almost 30, what a journey.

Binns and Hollands are elite runners, just a question of where/how they fit into a 22 - and at whose expense!

You'd expect our VFL side to be prominent next year.

Two wingers out of LOB, Acres, Hollands, Binns, Cotters.

Acres a cert for one spot, the other?

This.. and I like the Cowan/ Doch/ Saad/ Williams observation. Hopefully getting the right people to understudies to the right people (also, to lesser degree, Lemmey/ McKay/ Curnow) means our development program becomes more Geelong like for the potential of sustained success...
