Resource 2025 AFL Draft prospects and discussion.

That mean their cap is full?

No it would just be they rate their rookies above anything they could pick now.
They can then pick a few rookies and have a few train on and add them to the list at some point in the preseason.
They have Stephenson and two others training with them already.

Why didn’t we trade the last pick even if it was for chips next year.

Picks after 55 don’t have a points value anymore so essentially worthless. And it appears most clubs were done so no market to sell for a F4

 

[Bearded Clam]

Why not take a punt on Greeves,
Onley or BOB??

Nah.. we’ve still got Laird if we need him..

He’s a gun mid..

 

[Crow-eater]

2 list spots left - one for Ah Chee.

We may go one short on the main list and add an extra rookie.

We have to upgrade a rookie, so we’ll have a full primary list after we take Ah Chee.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Calm down, Greg Swan

 

[Crowbling]

No way am I watching this shit again next year.

 

[dplggr47]

Hawks with another SA kid, they don’t want Day to leave!

He's their next captain. Unlikely to leave anyway.

Oh he projects that way, big time. To the point it's not out of the question that Dan ends up being one of the premier ball winners in the competition in 3-4 years.

That month on the wing where Curtin started putting up 20+ regularly does give hints to where Dan ends up as a footballer, seeing that was a flash of what the finished product looks like. Especially noting that inside midfield and wing is an easy transition (and its a gap that's lowering with every passing year as the "see ball, get ball" extractors with limited utility beyond that is become more niche), with a very similar skillset succeeding at both positions. We are also in an era which is desperately trying to find as much damage with ball in hand as possible from the inside midifeld slots.

Looking into the numbers from that run, a month where a player averages of 7.75 ground ball gets is absurdly high for a second year player who did not play considerable minutes as an inside mid (seeing there are a lot of systemic benefits an inside mid gets in this space compared to other positions). So, yeah, no issues whatsoever with expecting Curtin to be able to make that jump.

Agree with this ... Looking at the way Dan was developing last year, it's easy to see that he has the size to be a bull inside, but also the skills to deliver the ball neatly by foot. The crowd did very well picking up this kid, an absolute gem.

Doesn’t Ah Chee count as our “third” draft change. So we can leave a list spot open with out upgrading a rookie

 

[BRL121]

Looking like Twomey might be out a bit with his 55 max getting taken in the main draft?

Only out by 5 and that includes Stringer.

 

[Danger Zone]

We have to upgrade a rookie, so we’ll have a full primary list after we take Ah Chee.

When we upgrade the rookie, that opens up a rookie spot there. If my numbers are right, we can take Ah Chee in the PSD, Welsh in the RD and still have one spot left for a rookie or SPP.

Unless they changed the rules, I don't believe the PSD counts towards the three changes.

Its just pathetic.. manufactured bullshit.. reality TV at its worst.

 

[crowutopia]

Surely we are on the phone to WCE or Carlton to trade up to one of their picks now, F2's are worthless in compromised drafts, so you can always get one back from someone.

46 and F2 for 28 or 29 and draft a mid

Might possibly get done, as WCE are looking at matching a bid on Williams

 

[dplggr47]

Off to the Port board..

Could've had the year off.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

So the 3 picks rule is just meaningless now?

 

[bettingonbetts]

Wow a lot of players not selected who o assumed would have been

Yeah it was a joke.

Correct weight.

 

[Sloaneforpm]

Totally, we should have taken the next Bont, Rowell, McLuggage Cripps, Daicos or Pendles at pick 50. What are they thinking?

Spot on.

 

[crowutopia]

No idea, though as much as I was being facetious, it is a prospect that on paper looks like someone who could be a serious contributor off the half back line.

I'm not sure if we should, I am sure Marsh would be damaging off half back with his kicking, however I would like to see Edwards and Ryan get a chance this year across HB.

 

[TBM]

Hawks with another SA kid, they don’t want Day to leave!

Three Central Districts lads too. Good on them.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Port really missing Chris Davies

 

[Bayno82]

So who has list spots to potentially stop us grabbing AhChee now?

 

[rabidcrow]

Its just pathetic.. manufactured bullshit.. reality TV at its worst.

What are you expecting from a draft show? Interviewing a smattering and talking them up with an expert panel. They could have left the player rankings up more often but otherwise that’s a draft
