Wilmot was born on December 31st, 2003 - so no.

I would've thought he'd be the first to jump to mind given the incessant usage of the "X hours and he'd be in this year's draft!" stat!

I was more making the point that pretty much no one we drafted in the last few years would actually have any memory of us winning a flag.

Next year we may have draftees that have never seen Essendon win a final.

Essendon last won a final in 2004 from memory so functionally same answer as above for our premierships.

Scouting Notes: 2022 AFL Under 17 Futures

Team Houli and Team Murphy took the field in Saturday's AFL Grand Final curtain raiser, which featured the top Under 17 talent nationwide.

Good to see Richardson is already well versed in how the Lions senior tall defenders operate and dispose of the ball.


Next year is going to be a big draft for academy kids. Gold Coast likely to have two bid on in the first round, and another early in the second round. Both the Swans and Giants look to have a decent kid as well. There looks to be a lot of depth in next years draft. If I was a recruiter, I'd be telling my list manager to take the fewest possible selections in this draft, and look to load up in next year's draft if possible.

Hey, in the latest Dunkley related article, Cal says: "With the Lions predicted to again be in the premiership race next year and with potentially two first-round Academy bids shaping next season, that pick would be expected to be between 15-20."

Would that be these two?

We need to consult the Lohmanns and Wilmots as to what was on TV in their house on 04-Sep-2004.

The two Gold Coast boys.

The two Gold Coast boys.

Ah thanks. If they are linked to GC's academy though is that much use to us?

 

[mattsmob]

I think Cal was just suggesting that any future first could get pushed back a spot or two

Ahh got it. Thanks.

Has anyone that has been to previous draft night functions heard of anything happening this year?

 

[Saucery]

Interesting....

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Is it possible we will only be taking Ashcroft, Fletcher and Gunston in this draft?

Dunkley will 100% happen.

LEAGUE CLAMPS DOWN ON BIDDING COLLUSION​

THE AFL has added extra layers to block any potential bidding collusion between clubs in this year's Trade Period.

The League has previously pushed to stop clubs from doing any deals that could include unwritten favours such as not bidding on father-son or Academy prospects at the NAB AFL Draft, but has added extra steps to clamp down this year.

INDICATIVE DRAFT ORDER Every club's hand as it stands

Every trade that is executed between clubs sees list managers or club representatives join an online meeting, with a line of questioning relating to the trade to ensure it is not linked to any other trade or bidding agreements.

The direct and explicit questions for each party have been added to the process making a trade official, with each meeting recorded by the AFL.

There were two father-sons – Sam Darcy and Nick Daicos – who attracted bids inside the top-four picks last year, while Will Ashcroft could be the first father-son to be bid on at No.1 at November's draft after a dominant draft campaign. – Callum Twomey

Are you expecting we will have to draft him in the PSD? I was talking only about draft picks.

Gunston will be a trade as well if that's the case

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

OK, so maybe one other pick

Dunkley will 100% happen.

Now I’m worried, very worried. Nunez record has been very bad.

The ol' Kiss of Death Nunez reckons Dunks is 100%.

What could go wrong.

At least he didn't say 'take it to the bank'

Why are people still panicking? Ambrogio is killing it.

We’re going to get everything we want.

Will we get more than what we want?

I do remember a time when the majority of posters on here were happy to walk someone to the PSD. Go-home 5 perhaps. I can understand the emotion.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Is it possible we will only be taking Ashcroft, Fletcher and Gunston in this draft?

Yes it's possible

In our slight defence we were being offered cents on the dollar, eg picks in the 30s for docherty/yeo, for players who were with us for 2/3 years.

If you look past the spin the final Dunkley offer probably will be 21 and a future first - less than what he is worth perhaps, but they got 7 years out of him including 2 grand finals.
