Wow so Neade didn’t get picked up by Collingwood. Wonder where he goes next. I’d imagine North Adelaide would want him.

Some info coming out of the draft.

Band of brothers – Will Kelly (Jake), Tom Berry (Jarrod), Jarrod Cameron (Charlie) and Riley Grundy (Brodie) joined their big brothers on AFL lists. Although only one pair(Tom and Jarrod Berry) are on the same list. Unlike our team which had 3. Cornes, Burgoyne and Murray. And may have had 4 if Collingwood had not taken Shane Wakelin.
The most for one team is 4 with the Danihers - Terry, Anthony, Chris and Neale who all played for Essendon.

New Jack City – There are now 7 players called Jack on St Kilda's list. Jack Bytel joins fellow Jacks Billings, Lonie, Sinclair, Steven, Newnes and Steele. Richmond is trailing behind but have now drafted three Jacks in three years with Graham, Higgins and 2018 addition Ross.

Great Southern Land – 15 of the draftees came from South Australia, six of whom were in the top 30.

Laitham Vandermeer is the first ever Laitham in the AFL. A pacy half-back flanker, he was drafted by the Western Bulldogs with pick 37.

We also had two Butchers for a while!

We must have had another pick after what was originally 85, which would have been something like 103, at a stage when all the other sides bar the Dogs had already finished with their draft. So 85 must have come down to 73, and 103 came down to 76. We (and the Dogs) just stayed in the draft after everyone else had gone.

I see, so pre-draft it would have been another team that had pick 76, but with all the passes our late pick came down to selection 76.

Can't remember exactly which one it was, but for a short while there was a suggestion one of the teams may draft one of the higher draft pick's brother to make him feel more at home. It didn't come about.

What's the strength of next years crop at this stage ??

Is Taheney any good ??

Not as many guns early but reasonable depth.

Hard to tell this far out though

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

In next year's draft we will have the following picks: Round 1, Round 2, (no round 3), 4 round 4 (Bulldogs, Kangaroos, Crows & Power). Two possible F/S (Burgoyne/Mead). Unknown number of NGA.

 

[PJ Power]

Thought Suns aced it - as they bloody wellshould hsve with those picks

GWS too for the same reasons.

Cats did wellwith ordinary picks.

Rated us around 5th best.

Got a B plus for round 1. Always just that one pick off who I reckoned they were after ie. Caldell, Sturt. So not tooshabby but could have been an A with luck
Got an A for later rounds. Some astute picks late.
Rookie draft was a C minus though. Hewett - seriously? What does he bring? And Cox - hopefully not another Cam Hitchcock? Rather have Robbie Young tbh.
Cat B rookies - great result to nab those twofor nothing.
Overall a B minus, so pretty good but a fair way from great. Replaced a few "like for like's".but needed another development tall to complement everything else. Surely a rookie was around, or a Gaelic or Yank athletic behemoth?????

Now to see if the game plan changes

How do you get a B- from 1) B+ for your first 3 picks, 2) A for picks 73 and 76, and 3) C for two rookie picks.

Surely the five main picks are more heavily weighted when assessing our overall performance.

Sorry to interrupt
Kia Pudney. I thought he was a Port academy player
Looked pretty good to me.
Did Port not pick him up?

Goes to show the gold passes he got from Hinkley was sickening.

We've signed him and Martin Frederick as Category B rookies.

Stack might still get a go with Richmond...

GC were rumored to be interested in taking Rankines brother as a rookie.

It occurs to me that when we had Voss as mid coach we selected Voss types and now we have Schofield we have selected Schofield types

When Hinkley had full control we got HBF, what’s your point?

 

[mic59]

Well done to the club, I think we’ve had a fantastic 2018 draft.
I was impressed with Woodcock in the SANFL so hoping he can make it as a small forward.
Very happy to see Robbie Young get a chance at the Saints.

Some Port players who played for the Saints - David Granger, Milan Faletic, Rohan Smith, Shane Wakelin, Darryl Wakelin, Tony Brown, Barry Brooks, Allan Murray, Brent Guerra, Cain Ackland, Aaron Fiora, Tery Milera, Logan Austin.

 

[FishingRick04]

Lienert is in our best team I reckon.

Burton to Wing

Schofield will be our centre square mid. I saw him do at in the WAFL colts this year and even a couple of years underaged he can burst out of stoppages. Once the body catches up with the footballer that is where he play full time.

I’d be going for talls next year.

Agree. With what we have this year and father/sons & NGA the next 3 years then we would target the draft for a key forward + defender each year and a ruckman every 2 years to replace Ryder and maybe Ladhams.

I think I have read about 250 pages of draft stuff in the last 2 days. There are some backflips that Matthew Mitcham would be proud of.

We’ve been backflipping as a board for the entire pre-draft period: Rankine, Rozee, Smith, Caldwell, M King have all had a turn as most preferred option at pick 5

Its more than pick 5.

 

[philthy05]

Yeah we need a key forward prospect or 2 in the next 2 drafts to replace Dixon and westhoff

At the moment I’m seeing next to nothing available in next years draft. Hopefully some pop up as the year goes on

Westhoff is a wingman not a KPF
