...after trailing by 45 points.

Wasn't this meant to be played tomorrow?

... nevermind, this is the U17 game

Spoiler

 

[GrommoT]

For those interested the only coverage that will be publically available of the curtain raiser to the Grand Final the U18 Allstars Game will be a live stream on the AFL website starting at 9.50 AM. Pity Foxtel & Channel 7 aren't prepared to screen the game because speaking personally I'd sooner watch the kids than all the Pre-Game bullshit they generally air.

[GrommoT]

If we have two (hopefully) first round picks next year, maybe even three?, do we go to whoever finishes bottom: how about two first rounders for pick 1? we want our boy Izak ... throw in our second rounder too? please?

Or do we maybe try and get two of the other 3 SA boys likely to go high?

They saying Rankine no 1 pick now

 

[TrainRoo32]

Either Rozee, Rankine or Lukosius
Must find their way to AFC!
Preferably all 3 lol

 

[Danger in Texas]

Aiden Bonar, Zac Bailey, Jaidyn Stephenson, Oscar Allen all very impressive for mine in the U18 match just gone

 

[Danger in Texas]

You obviously saw what I did in Bonar at my first sighting of the lad here at Mars Stadium 6 weeks or so ago, built like a brick outhouse, can take a big grab, can kick goals from outside 50m and moves well for a big unit. Lot of upside if he passes the medical testing with his knee reco, looks and moves like he could be a top line Mid/Forward on my limited viewing. I'll watch the replay later as I had a physio session with this bloody neck and couldn't watch the live game.

Bonar was great today. Showed some pace, kicked a great running goal in the 3rd(?) quarter and has some great agility. Bit of refining needed, but you'd expect that with a player who's spent so much time out of the game. He looks extremely promising. Not good about the neck

BTW how did Noah Balta go and where did he play? He's the one player in this draft that really intrigues me, his best is amazing but has never been settled into one position by the coaches at his TAC team, just have a gut feel he could turn out to be a very, very special player and the best tall in this draft by some margin.

Balta showed some great flashes, played both back and forward. But was quite in and out of the game. Do reckon his upside is enormous, one of those high risk/high reward prospects.

I'll be the first to admit that I was wrong on Jack Graham last year - reckon he'll be a better player than I gave him credit for, really stood up today. It makes me want to draft Worpel with the 2nd we get from Melbourne more and more (reckon he'll be there)

 

[hey shorty]

Strength and composure

 

[Danger in Texas]

Won't be there that late, he has Finals footy writ large alll over him.

Worpel is and has always been high on my shopping list this year of the players likely to be available to us, only player I like more is Hunter Clark who I thought would be available now I think it's unlikely unless we use our Lever compensation pick. No more players like Milera that pick and choose when to put their head over the ball, having silky skills means nought if you haven't got the aggotts to go hard at every contest, ESPECIALLY and more so in Finals footy. Worpel whilst his kicking can be inconsistent at times it must be remembers when playing inside a hack kick forward is the only option sometimes....something that some supporters just don't get when comparing player's DE%. When Worpel has space he has a very penetrating 55m kick in his toolbox, great endurance and Dusty/Mrouch hardness.

It's okay to have some of those types that don't pressure defensively (Rich had B Ellis, Vlastuin who aren't the greatest pressure players). It's about having a good mix of players. I'm starting to get the feeling that only one of Milera/Atkins will be in the team in the future if we are to contend for a premiership, and I reckon Milera will eventually be the more damaging of the two. Worpel would, at the very least, bring defensive pressure and a hard-nosed edge to the side, and wouldn't look out of place considering he is already somewhat ready-made. If we can get Gibbs, I'd play him on the outside, and put Worpel possibly straight into the starting 22 as an inside mid

Just some blokes with some real ticker please. Hard at it, uncompromising, strong, nuggety footballers.

Where does he go Bicks ? What number? Would Fogarty be the better pick up if available?

 

[Mike Smyth]

We need big bodied player. Too may small types all over the ground.

 

[Bay62]

That's Worpel to a tee except the nuggety bit, he's big, strong and quite athletic. Think Thommo but with more pace and covers the ground better.

Where's he from and what are our chances of getting him?

Thanks

 

[hey shorty]

Geelong Falcons, probably goes early to mid 2nd round IMO, if he goes any later than the 2nd round he'd be an absolute draft steal IMO

Geelong Falcons.........

Did like him in the TAC GF though.

Geelong Falcons?

Pass.

 

[Mike Smyth]

As I said in another thread we need to find big bodies players. We have far too many short people who get pushed off the ball when the pressure increases. Looking at what is to come from the SANFL, Gall, Poho and Sin are all either lightly framed or smallish types. Was this a deliberate drafting strategy?

Himmelberg, Doedee and Davis must be given quality game time in 2018.

 

[hugecannon]

Poholke isn't small, but agree otherwise.

 

[Bayno82]

So atm our first pick is 17 but with Lever comp we are a chance at 6 or 10. Can any draft experts give me an idea who would be best selection at those spots? Fogarty seems to be anywhere from about pick 5 to 15 from what im reading. Would he be our target?

 

[marty36]

Terry Wallace named his final top 20 in this year's draft yesterday on Future Stars. Can't say I agree with some of his ratings, only reason IMO Cam Rayner Ddoesn't go number 1 will be the flight risk if drafted interstate, have my doubts Lochie O'Brien goes that high, good ball user but very outside, I personally don't see Naish as a 1st rounder, Jordan Houlahan could only possibly go that high based on potential, and whilst I like Lachie Fogarty a lot his size could count against and Richards who is certainly quick and a good user that looks a bit high in my view. No Charlie Constable in their has to be an oversight surely, no Noah Balta and Garner surprising too

Reckon Poholke could play a big part next year

Oh, wait. THAT'S full on flog mode.

At least you'll enjoy seeing Doedee playing in Lever's position for the next few years.

I like the look of him bicks, what draft range is he?
