Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2025 - Picks 9, 10, 13, 37

[Red Black and Blue]

See there is a huge gap between those, which is why definitions need to be asked. This shows that ha

Im unhappy taking any of that top group, im stoked with any of the bottom group at 5 or 6

I'd use Dovaston as an example. I don't think a single person would expect him to be less than a 40 goal a year player in his prime. That alone is levels above those role players listed and he's not even in the main group.

Robey did test

3.12 - 20 m
6.45 - 2km

There have been a few guys like Cox who did alot of that and some would say he was a much better kick

T.Goad rucks that run sub 3 secs ect, would be plenty more that i cant think of right now

cox was never the size and shape cdt is.

 

[Keystone agony]

cox was never the size and shape cdt is.

Maybe less kilos but similar height and better 2km

T.Goad
Bailey Williams
I.Keeler
G.Strumpf
H.Jones
Noah Pegoraro
Charlie Nicholls

Some guys around the 200cm all run sub 3 secs in the last ~7 years

i hear ya. i dont think any of those guys have the mass of CDT. many didn't run the 2k as well as CDT either.

 

[Vindicater]

I said earlier in the thread I was all about the Sharp/Cumming combo.

Robey came in and wooed me with his size and traits but back to the Summings combo I go.

 

[84859300]

A fair few of

Blakiston
Mcmahon
Gerryn
A.May
T.Edwards
Cox

Will be gone in 12 months

H.Jones

24 months

I don't understand the McMahon hate?

You don't think he could be an option as a 3rd forward in a F50 group of 6?

No hate

The reality is most MSD dont get to a decent level or stay on list for very long

We are too tall list wise at the moment, a few talls will need to turn into non talls in 12 months. Then its whether theyre good enough or not past that

 

[Hazardinho]

Not even Dodoro would give up two top 5 picks for CDT. Not worth it. At best trade one of 5 or 6 and a 2nd rounder.
But id keep 5, 6 and F1.

Dodoro would never of gotten us pick 6 the way Rosa did, and probably would have traded our picks last year for Houston.

 

[Hazardinho]

I also think McMahon is getting delisted, and doesn’t have a long term future here. I think the club is just going to hit the draft and eventually recruit a third tall forward.

 

[Keystone agony]

Houston didnt want to come to us, so that wouldnt have occured

Dodoro is bashed for Shiel, but he was the one that didnt want to give what we ended up paying, XavierC came in

Dodoro held off paying so much for Dunkley with 2 top 10s asked. Dunkley later went for far less

So he cant win anymore, either pays too much or doesnt pay at all

All i know is he had guys like Goddard, Stringer, Smith, Shiel and Dunkley ect want to get to the club at fairly avg times

Honestly think Caddy may be our 3rd tall forward

Man why couldn’t we have overpaid for Dunkley and abandoned Shiel

 

[Hazardinho]

Honestly think Caddy may be our 3rd tall forward

I feel like Brad Scott still wants to go down the two ruck set up and hence why we’d be keen on CDT.
So maybe we see Caddy as a secondary tall?

Hindsight always fun

We may have, had the Shiel deal never occured

Doesnt really matter who the 3 talls are

Caddy and CDT then 1 of 2MP/May/H.Jones/Langford or a kid comes from no where in your example keeps us going for a while

As long as we have aerial ability, ground ability, enough pressure, able to hit scoreboard ect amongst the 7 fwds it aint matter who

 

[Hazardinho]

It would have just been Nick Cox and Hobbs, who we would have given up, whereas I think the picks we gave up for Shiel ended up being Butters and Serong .
Even the picks we gave up for stringer ended up being Balta and TDK

Certainly incorrect

Same boat here. And 2 of the Robey/Sharp/Cumming and I'm thrilled

 

[Call Me Cake]

the picks we gave up for Shiel ended up being Butters and Serong

bruh

It was Caldwell and Bergman (C grade player at best)

 

[ghostdog]

essentially using 2 top 10 picks in consecutive years on small forwards is silly.

Or we could spend the next ten years experimenting and being patient with more guys like Guelfi, Menzie, Davey, Gresham etc etc.

Backline is okay and we'll pick up a quality mid. A group of quality smalls makes us potent, and Sweid, Kako and Dov can also play through the middle and bring a burst of speed through. I'm thinking Cameron, Bailey and Lohman as an example.

bringing in one of Robey or Cumming gives another fwd option as well

 

[ghostdog]

it's just doesn't make sense to allocate resources that way. used a top 10 pick basically on a small forward last year, let's try to find. we are also taking sweid and probably HEA ends up on some part of the list. that's two more players who are small and can play forward. we took Kako and unwin last year along with day-wicks who is also small and can play forward. you can't just keep drafting smalls who play forward until you get the best one in the comp with as many holes as we have.

Equally it doesn't make sense to keep drafting wack smalls. Dov is high quality. He's a win.

 

[ghostdog]

Can you see how dynamic the mid / forward mix then becomes?
I reckon a Robey / Cumming + Dov addition would be super exciting, though I probably lean toward Robey.

Not opposed to any of the other top end players, just think Dov could be brilliant.

Already getting two smalls with the NGA.

Any more smalls and you'd think we were on a quest to return a ring.
