Pick 46 Essendon Shay Linke 190cm 79 kg Mid/ Forward Central District

Shay has had a very good season and showed he belongs at each level he has played.
At 18s level Linke has been a prolific inside midfielder who has real ability at winning clearances and building his possession tally.He is not super fast by any means but he works really hard and is a very good endurance runner already.
Linke has good height for a midfielder and is proficient in the air and shows some potential forward.
Ball use is acceptable without being spectacular. He will win a fair percentage of footy under pressure at the coal face at AFL level I reckon.
Shay has a tall athletic frame which will develop with some summers in the gym.
If everything went right Shay could play like David Mundy.if he had half the afl career he would be rapt. Shay also reminds me of Daniel Cross who was a fabulous honest foot soldier and the ultimate role model.
I will not share my other considerations as I have another choice soon.
 
Pick 47 - Hugh Jackson
Sep 19, 2018

Pick 47 Brisbane - Hugh Jackson
181cm/70kg
North Adelaide/South Australia

POSITION:
Balanced Midfielder

SNAPSHOT: “A natural accumulator of the football, Jackson wins possession both inside and outside the contest and consistently distributes to teammates in space.”

Hugh Jackson was the premier ball winner in the SANFL U18s competition this year, averaging 34 disposals across his first 11 games, before a quieter end to the year saw his season average drop a fraction below 30 per game. He collected a season-best 41 disposals in Round 6 against eventual premier Woodville-West Torrens, only to match it just three weeks later with another 41 possessions and 12 clearances, in a best on ground display. His early season form was rewarded with selection in South Australia’s Under 19s squad where he has featured in representative games against Western Australia and the Allies. A late season debut for North Adelaide in the SANFL Reserves and an invite to the National Draft Combine capped off a successful year for Jackson, whose body of work has propelled him into draft calculations.

STRENGTHS:
+ Ground balls
+ Clean hands
+ Stoppage craft
+ Accumulation
+ Consistency

IMPROVEMENTS:
– Left foot dominant
– Development in secondary role

Jackson has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to win possession through the midfield, with good stoppage craft and clean hands giving him an advantage inside the contest. Even when heavily contested, Jackson is able to keep his feet, cleanly win possession and then deliver to a teammate’s advantage, with his creativeness by hand often leading to impactful exits from stoppages. Without the football, Jackson can still have an influence around the contest. His defensive effort to prevent his opponents from exiting the stoppage adds another element to his midfield craft. Jackson is a capable tackler and he consistently smothers or deflects opposition attempts to win the ball away from the contest.

At times, Jackson has operated as a loose man at the back of the stoppage in a role that he has thrived in for North Adelaide’s Under 18s side. He reads the play well and positions himself perfectly to receive the football. His decision making with the ball on the outside is typically sound and he’s comfortable delivering to a teammate over 30-35 metres. Jackson adds penetration to his kick when he wheels around on his left foot with a real whipping action, though he doesn’t have the same consistency when searching for more distance. A real area of growth for Jackson will be to develop his kicking on his non-preferred right foot as it is currently not as effective of a disposal option for him.

Jackson has been a class above his opposition in the SANFL U18s competition and that was even more evident in the trial game for South Australia’s State U19s squad. In horrific, wet and windy conditions, Jackson appeared to be playing with a much drier ball than his fellow squad members as he cleanly won the ground ball and delivered to teammates accurately by hand. Consistently high in production, Jackson received more attention towards the back end of the year as opposition players and coaches sought to limit his influence.

The North Adelaide product met some further challenges as he stepped up to represent South Australia against Western Australia. Relegated to playing on the wing and across half forward, Jackson struggled to find the football and was not able to have the impact he would’ve liked in either of the first two games against the Sandgropers.

There is little doubt that Jackson plays his best football when he’s positioned in and around the contest. His production and consistency when playing through the midfield is a testament to his ball winning ability. Increased development in a secondary role across either flank or on the wing would bode well for Jackson as he looks to make the transition to AFL level.

DRAFT PROJECTION: 35+

SUMMARY:

Jackson’s finish to the season didn’t reach the same heights as his early performances, with a role change, increased level of competition and extra attention from opponents all factors in his dip in form. Still a ball magnet when given opportunities through the midfield, Jackson will draw interest from AFL clubs, likely in the latter rounds of the National Draft or as a Rookie selection.

Pick 48 - Taj Woewodin (Not Matched)
Pick 48 - Collingwood bid on (and select) Taj Woewodin (East Fremantle/Western Australia)

This might seem like a speculative pick or "making them earn it" with the Dees, but I was fully aware eDPS was not going to match, so this was 100% a selection I'd be comfortable with. Whilst in the real draft i'd expect the Dees to match this bid, he is the type of player with great upside. He's gone from a possible rookie to a main draft selection, and expect him to land somewhere in that third to perhaps early fourth round. I knew if I bid on him with the pick after this one, the Dees would match effectively not needing to give up anything really.

Woewodin just has those electrifying traits which showed at the Draft Combine, but he's got some nice kicking penetration and leadership capabilities as well, and is able to play in a variety of positions. It would be ironic if the Pies took Woewodin given we were his other dad's club, but I think he could fit in nicely and with his development he has shown already, there is plenty left to give.

Pick 49 Corey Warner 182 cm 74 kg Wing/ Utility East Fremantle

This bloke is simply too good not to be taken here. Corey has that rare blend of endurance, speed and power.
Corey has a powerful kick though I think he too often lacks precision. He is very good in the air for his size and has a strong leap.
I reckon Corey has to get better at accumulating possessions and winning a touch more of the footy but I love his running patterns and power in his movements.
Like Chad, Corey has an aggressive and competitive nature on the footy field and his team mates will love playing with him.
Sam Durham and Corey Warner would be two powerful young wingers for the Bombers for years to come.
I see a bit of Drew Banfield in the way Corey moves and plays.
I considered Ronald Fejo jnr who is a real favourite with this pick as well as Morgan Ferres and Youseph Dib.
At the end the choice was between Warner and Fejo. I just feel Corey’s not as special but is a strong aggressive footballer who suits the way Ben Rutten wants to play.

Pick 51 - Lachlan Rankin
Pick 51 - Lachlan Rankin (Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro)

I’ll write the full profile up later, but I took him in the BF PD podcast and I was planning on taking him here. Plus PMBangers threatened me if I didn’t.

The main reason is I feel like we need another red head on the team... but seriously great skills and athleticism, damaging around goals, just has high X-factor, high ceiling, someone who can really build and become something special. Teaming up with Daicos again adds to it, so very happy to welcome him in. Rankin fits a need of being able to hit targets.

pick 52 - Joshua Browne - East Frem - 185cm 77kg

inside/outside mid, i liked what i have seen from him over the course of 2 years, he is a Hawks supporter as well, good WA V SA series, from my notes he was in the top 3 in both games he played in the WA V SA series for WA, averages over 30 poss in the WAFL Colts, 11 goals in 14 games and has a good inside/outside game, can win the contested ball and feed it out as well as a good runner and link player and seems to have good endurance, as well as having room to improve physically with a good frame.
