Live Event 2021 AFL National Draft discussion thread

Sonsie looks like a no brainer.

He has slid from top 5 calculations over the past 12 months due to what seems like nothing but a lack of footy. He plays one senior game at BH and has 24 and kicks 2??

 

[RX Hawk]

Don't see the point in trading up for Johnson when Sonsie will likely be available - I expect we'd have to lose a fairly significant pick to get the deal done, e.g. 23 + 26 or a future second. That's not worth it IMO.

Absolutely. Not worth - take Sonsie and move on.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Sure. Question is though, not whether we try, its whether anyone else will give one up...

I couldn't find a list of actual live picks but perhaps Richmond may not intend on using all their second round picks as an example?

 

[CobberRodgers]

For anyone with long memories to last year - will the coverage be more condensed and picks will actually start at 6:30 tonight?

It may drag on a bit tonight, especially as teams get talking to each other and take their full allotment of time whilst trying to pick swap etc. There could be a few of them tonight.

 

[CobberRodgers]

Absolutely. Not worth - take Sonsie and move on.

The question marks on Sonsie are not football related I reckon.

Extremely talented. Let’s hope we can get the best out of him.

exactly, like I said better, price is too high now, needed to have done that before draft night. For example Richmond's pick in teens, 2 20s + 30 for first. The draft being so even, other clubs can see now there is talent there in 20s right up to pick 30 to rival teens, no one willing to do deal.

 

[hawkmang]

From memory it went really quick and was much better than the first night.

Last year there was no second night

We are abit thin in sml fwds only breust and chad if he is not in the middle. Brock and Sean are still ways to go. Should consider Draper/butler as they are the best hybrids in this draft. These guys would be perfect playing 70% fwd 30%mid

Dont forget moore!

 

[Rob R]

Had a look on their website, are we really the only club that doesn’t have a single player managed by them?

Can’t recall what they’ve done to make a bad name for themselves off the top of my head but did find that interesting.

Screwed Freo around, leaked conversations and their players seem to have personal reasons to shift states part way through contracts-normally just after a front loaded period.

He slipped because he had two games where he was absolutely gassed. There was talk of a niggling injury that he then sat out a couple of games for and never hit his stride. There's a bit to worry about with his tank, but nothing that makes him anything less than a steal past pick 20.

And they can rotate with Sonsie taking the other side of the 30/70 split. Absolutely ecstatic we are in this position.

Would be stoked if we can get Sonsie at 23 and Butler at 26

Same. Sonsie + Butler or Sonsie + Bozzo

 

[RX Hawk]

Same. Sonsie + Butler or Sonsie + Bozzo

Prefer Sonise + Bozzo.

 

[TDS7]

Sonsie + Goater is still theoretically possible

Freo: Johnson
North: Motlop/Draper
Cats: Knevitt
Cats: Conway (apparently very high on him)
Hawks: GOAT

All this and I got tickets to Timeland.
Am I in Heaven?

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Im not so sure there will. With all the sliders, clubs are not going to give up their picks in the 20s. For example, I have seen future firsts in play for moves up a few spots in the 20s, the asking rate for these picks is insane.

I think its wishful thinking from the media and I doubt there will be any significant trades.

And if not, Taylor and Butler are still in play too.

I just want 2 more midfielders.

 

[Soaring Hawk]

Prefer Sonise + Bozzo.

Sonsie + Draper/Howes/Bazzo and I’d be thrilled.

Hopefully Banks with a later pick.

Last year there was no second night

Draft night 2020 was the longest week of the year.

 

[Since 2001]

if Richmond liked someone and 23 and said here is 28 and 29 do we say yes or ask for a future second instead?

 

[Dewnior]

I think it would be madness to trade away one of our seconds...we have two very good players staring us in the face tonight.

Madness.

If Johnson and Sonsie are both still on the board at our 1st pick the calls will come in and I'd be extremely tempted to trade into the 1st round next year but not if it involves more than a swap of one of our seconds for a future first.

 

[RX Hawk]

What time will be our pick (roughly)

 

[Dewnior]

I’m with you here.

If a club wants to offer us a F1 and a pick in the 30s tonight (if we are confident he will still be there) for our first two picks tonight then I’d jump at it.

Ward, MacDonald (and a project pick late) and then 2 cracks in the first next year.

F$#k that, it's one of our seconds for a future first or GTFO

7pm according to the Kayo guide. 30 mins of talking heads on AFL.com from 6.30pm
