Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

[Jen2310]

If he could clean up his disposal he would be a genuine draft prospect. Hopefully he can get back next year but heard he made a mess of his knee.

Hopefully the club has seen enough and still drafts him, even a rookie. Has some afl attributes and at that size, they dont come around easy.

He at least can use the club for his rehab and focus on finishing school, and whatever happens, happens. But would be a real blow for him.

1/2 Time

U18's 4.4 28
U20's 4.6 30

U20's cleaner ball use

To my eye Ben Camporeale the best for the U18's Kobe Ryan for the U20's, Lucas Camporeale not too shabby either, Sid Draper better than last week but far from as dominant as usual.

3/4 time
U18's 11.4
U20's 6.8

Ben Camporeale head and shoulders above everyone else out there today.

SA going to be hard to beat at the Nationals if their mids are competitive with a forward line of the 3 tall towers Tallan Rosenzweig, Charlie Nicholls and Charlie West along with the 191cm big bodied 3rd tall type Tyler Welsh and no doubt speedy, clever small forward/mid Benny Barrett at their feet.

Full time
U18's 15.4
U20's 9.13

To my eye Ben Camporeale the best on, Charlie Nicholls the best forward. Draper much better today.
From a MSD view 194cm forward Beau Thomas impressive, strong overhead and if he'd brought his kicking boots could have easily kicked 5 or 6 goals, Kobe Ryan a typical in and under midfield game and for mine his kicking has certainly improved the last 2 years.

How had D'loia been? question marks over pace but I like what he does

 

[Thunderstruck]

Didn't catch the game but Ryan stiff not to be in the proper state side

Correct, certainly not quick and foot skills still questionable, good State League player his level I think personally.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

How was Ben Campo's 'damage' with disposal for those who watched? Love his ability to provide a link but still unsure about his impact via foot.

He's a ripper, not too much wrong with his contested stuff either so expect an early bid incoming and btw Lucas is not too shabby either

Yeah I've liked what I've seen of Ben so far. Lucas imo more 'talented' but far more inconsistent. Especially with his disposal by foot, he can look a million bucks and then look a hack the next chance he gets. Ben just seems to play within his means and makes good decisions without ever looking to be that game breaking type with ball in hand.

We'll be fighting North for the pick but Smilie for pick 1 just screams massive red flags for me. I'm really suss on his kicking at the top level and I feel he dominates because of his size but that gets mitigated a lot at AFL level where you need a lot more strings to your bow.

I feel like he'll be a good player but not sure he will translate to an AFL superstar.

I'd happily split pick 1 if we had it and some strong offers came, I reckon this is the draft to have a handful of top 20 picks rather than just one elite pick, especially if taking Smilie.

Reid’s and JHF size and power translated well to AFL.

Different, they were smaller than Smilie and so the gap was different to their peers, e.g. they had more strings to their bow at the level.

His last 2 weeks have been amazing. He looks every bit the next Tom Green.

I think his kicking will be fine, especially when he is in space. Generally makes good decisions.

Biggest red flags for me would be:
1. his lack of tackles and
2. for a big body inside mid he seems to play as that first receiver a lot rather than the first ball winner.

I’d be really interested to see his contested ball winning stats. I think they’d be less than some people expect.

What are your thoughts on Barrett? I really feel we need a genuine small forward who can put on defensive pressure while also being dangerous around goals. Rather than shoehorning small mids into this role.

Barrett would be a small forward at AFL level most likely but he plays a fair bit of on ball as well and at U18 level he's quite effective in there. He's also a Port NGA.
