Game Day 2023 AFL DRAFT

[1990crow]

George Stevens went pretty low

 

[Danger in Texas]

Officially more picks this year than last year

“Shallow draft”?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Delean to Freo.

 

[Crowbling]

Pick 60, Fremantle select Crowbling from Bigfooty

Kevin Sheehan: Lightning speed, strong, can play ruck, the midfield, back pocket, full forward, full back. Incredible kick of the footy and an incredible mark. Great person, great family, good looking, charismatic and intelligent.

‘Hard to escape’: Top WA prospect Daniel Curtin opens up on draft rumours

‘Hard to escape’: Draft prodigy opens up on No.1 pick rumours amid big AFL trade mystery

www.foxsports.com.au

Asked to compare himself to an AFL player, Curtin named interceptor markers Darcy Moore and Sam Taylor, while he models his midfield game after Patrick Cripps given the Blues skipper carries a similar frame.

“I love having the ball in hand and using it. I’m a versatile player. Pretty good with the ball in hand. A good user by foot who competes well,” he said.

“I’m a big competitor, missing a lot of last year I had a lot of want built up inside me to try and make it into the AFL. I’m just really keen to get out there.”

An approximate 10cm growth spurt between the ages of 16 and 17 saw Curtin move from the midfield to playing key position, and he’s still putting on size after only going to the gym in recent years.

Also from there, does this sound like just a KPD?

It included the left-footer racking up 23 disposals and five marks in that WAFL colts grand final, claiming WA’s MVP award after averaging 24 touches, nine contested possessions and five tackles while going at 82 per cent by foot in four carnival games and even playing six WAFL senior matches for Claremont.

 

[Danger Zone]

Delean at #60 is amazing value. Well done Freo

 

[Velvet George]

Also from there, does this sound like just a KPD?

If we play him as a KPD, what’s the chances you’ll spend pages arguing he was a KPD all along?

 

[50BC]

The historical rate of playing 100 games or more for draft picks 30 to 50 is 32%. So about 1 in 3 can be expected to make it.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Also from there, does this sound like just a KPD?

 

[Firewalker]

Hmmm Delean will blend in well with his ‘West Australian hair’. Hope he makes it, would’ve liked him, still feel he would’ve filled a glaring hole on the Crows list.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

2 SA boys in the AA u18 team. One is not age eligible and the other Will Patton hasn't got a Gurnsey yet.

You’re on fire tonight mate!..

 

[Bearded Clam]

Officially more picks this year than last year

“Shallow draft”?

Port: “were glad we got out of this draft.. dont rate it highly”..

also Port: use three late picks in said draft…

 

[Velvet George]

You’re on fire tonight mate!..

Having someone backflip and to continually support club decisions warrants some scrutiny especially when he’s so opinionated

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Will need to work big time on his defensive side at AFL level as a smaller forward and not the quickest. Footy smarts is his one wood.

Sounds a bit like James Rowe.

 

[BACCS]

Not if the coaches can help it, after all, utility is only valuable if a player is mediocre in their primary position.

Utility is critical in the modern game. Obviously want to be dominant in at least one position, but it can't be your only position.

 

[maxlilly]

Our rookies are still available

 

[Danger Zone]

Patton, Philactides, Sanchez, Callinan, De La Rue, Visentini, Rawlinson, Van Rooyen.

Some guys I like the look of are still available, definitely wishing we'd not promised Borlase that last spot.

 

[maxlilly]

I'm surprised Zane Z from WA was picked so late at #51

 

[Danger in Texas]

What is a Lawson Humphries

 

[maxlilly]

Seems strange that St Kilda have gone for so many outside players this draft when Ross likes a contested game

 

[kirky]

Serious question, Geelong have mainly had late picks other than Sullivan.

Where does that put their list?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Still very old but not quite as old.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What is a Lawson Humphries

Legal firm.

 

[Crow_68]

Last hope is that someone snaps up Borlase before our first rookie pick tomorrow….
