    I think the media covers players performances generally pretty well and the way the coaches rate them at underage level. Must have missed all the phantom drafts being completely wrong tonight

    I guess Conole doesn’t know either Lohmann played on the wing and across half back at 16s level for Vic Country, however he has been used with great effect across half forward this season in a strong Greater Western Victoria Rebels team...

    Must have kicked a ton of goals at junior level Because he’s somewhere near his potential which isn’t good enough for AFL level

    Sounds like adding some outside run and flair and happy to take a risk to get it

    But we picked ESmith so he could throw his body around and burst from packs like Dangerfield without having consistently shown he could do this at a lower level. Similar to what we’ve done with Lohmann

    There are several around the mark who had far more consistent season even at stage league and state representative games who I would’ve been happy with

    The defence seems to be that he can offer more in a different position to what we’ve seen him play. That isn’t offering a lot of guidance on where he’ll end up and has backfired before compared to someone who has at least performed well in their position even if they have a lower ceiling I...

    I mean safe like Dev Robertson not risky like ESmith (or Starcevich)

    Not to mention what we gave up to get pick 20. You’d think we’d want a fairly safe bet

    You don’t think the whole standard of the league was impacted it only impacted Lohmann?

    How many did his opponents or the better performed players in the league?

    Should we not have a more obvious form line for a first round pick in what I believe was a very crucial draft It seems most on here are happy for us to have taken a decent sized risk at this pick. I’m not. I think there’s a real risk the last 4 years echo what happened around 10 years ago where...

    That’s not very reassuring

    I'm saying you shouldn't put blind faith in recruiters If he was as good as they say don't you think he would've kicked more than a goal a game in a junior league?

    Not much less than when we selected ESmith

    And ESmith might be good if he turns out like Dangerfield

    Analysis 2021 draft thread

    That’s still an issue and a huge risk. I don’t think we’re in a position to do this given we’ve added bugger all talent in the last 3 drafts. Picking someone who hasn’t even performed a role well at under 18 level and expecting him to develop there instead of drafting someone who did play that...

    Can anyone justify the need to spend an early pick on a small forward?

    This would be why I don’t have faith in our recruiters. Not many wins recently 2013 draft - solid draft helped us through a tough patch Aish -fail Gardiner - pass McStay - pass Taylor - pass Cutler- pass NRobbo- pass 2015 draft - shocking Schache - fail Hipwood - free hit Keays - fail...
