Game Day 2018 AFL Draft - Live Chat

[Pussinbootz]

Could we pick up O’Reilly in the rookie draft (Apeness’s spot) and get Carter as a cat B rookie?

 

[yakka man]

What sort of player is Bewley?

High endurance, booming left foot kick. Midfielder.

Last 2 picks remind me of this scene from Justice League Unlimited:

 

[Nothing]

So is this all Bell's doing? Or do you still blame Ross?

 

[Taylor]

If Carter isn't drafted dont we just get him as a Cat B? And potentially look at O'Rielly at pick 5 in the rookie if hes there?

Yes

Schultz highlights

May as well pick up Gibbons in the rookie for 3/5 Williamstown players

 

[MadDocker]

I know its highlights but he seems to keep his feet well in a contest, deliver the ball well and tackle well. Something to work with here for sure.

Underwhelming on the two mature-age guys we picked up

What are the chances those dirty dog Eagles pick up Carter??

more likely to take stack maybe even Oreilly

 

[Stilgar]

Schultz highlights

Plays a lot like Switta.

 

[go_the_dockers]

I would love Stack as our rookie pick.

Getting him as a rookie lesson's the risk around him, as he is only on a 1 year deal.

 

[bfff]

Is "General Forward" a new classification for this year? I can't recall ever hearing it before.

why?

 

[yakka man]

We seem to want to take mature small forwards (Matera, Switta and Schulz), but don't want to draft and develop an 18 year old into the role

 

[G Mus]

why?

They have the feel of rookie picks

 

[Freoforever86]

Sounds like Bewley could be a half back option with his run and long kicking

 

[malpaso]

Last two picks tell me that Freo are going to have a red-hot crack next season. Adding some mature players that help us stay the course for 22 rounds.

We always go mature for small forwards
Ballas, The Wiz, converted Roger instead of drafting

Walters was young but basically redrafted as a mature forward after doing nothing for 2 years

Didn't mind the look of Shultz' highlights (short as they were) - sidesteps, kicks straight and then gets everyone excited ...a bit like like a muscle-bound version of Ballaz.

Edit: From Freo's website":

In 2017 as a 19-year-old, Schultz kicked 31 goals from 17 games and was named Williamstown's most promising player.

After overcoming an ankle injury, Schultz had a terrific back end to 2018 where his competitiveness, contested marking ability and goal sense stood out.

In the second half of the 2018 season, for general forwards in the VFL, Schultz ranked second for ranking points (94.8), first for disposals (16.9), second for contested possessions (8), first for loose ball gets (4.4), first for clearances (2.8), third for marks (5) and fifth for score involvements (6).

He's courageous, tough and has the ability to win his own ball.



...sounds like a player frankly.

As was Ballantyne.

I am fine with that as a concept.

 

[Marty Whitelaw]

The Williamstown guys seem like interesting picks, particularly with Pickett and Bolton still on the table. Although based on 15 minutes of internet research don’t mind the look of them.
