Jason Bateman said it was Port.

Never trust a money launderer...

Joyce is an interesting one, he divides opinion. Some really rate him, others can see his limitations, he's been described by some State 18's selectors as a small Priddis. Elite handball and in and under but has very little penetration with his kicking.

You mean like Lachie Neale. Bit of a like for like replacement maybe!

Sorry no way can you compare Joyce's kicking with Lachie's.

 

[Bastyy]

I think our main focuses in this draft should be mid/half forwards and small forwards as well as mature agers, ideally something like

Pick 14: Ian Hill/Liam Stocker/Jordan Clark
Pick 31: Sydney Stack/Edward McHenry/Luke English
Pick 43: Tom Joyce/Luke Foley/Marlion Pickett
Pick 65: Jye Bolton/VFL Mature Ager/Luke Moore
Pick 81: One of Carter and Medhat if we can fit them on the senior list

As for the rookie draft, a good tall defender would be nice, as well as the left over one of Carter and Medhat

Agree with the bolded but Joyce does not have pace, that along with his size is the big knock on him.

Can you expand on this, I’ve not seen a lot of Joyce, obviously seen a lot of Neale.

IMO Lachie has much more depth with his kicking. We've seen him kick goals from outside 50m before, I just haven't seen that in Joyce, and certainly not in any state games he's played in. He's a tough in and under and had a really solid carnival as a bottom-ager last year.

Hmm, probably don't need O'reilly now but have the picks to get him, do we pass on the father/son?

(obvs not actual f/s but basically)

I’m going to still look at O’reilly... no pressure, let him develop in the 2’s with Dixon, maybe allow Cox to permanently move back

If Geelong relent and accept picks 20 & 22 for Kelly then WC will have nothing until really late.

 

[StingBitten]

So what draft picks do we have remaining? Do we have rookie picks?

Any number of guys that need to be delisted?

I suck at the off season.

 

[Freoforever86]

Hill Stoker or Valente for me at 14. More like 17 after Quaynor Thomas & Blakey go.

I feel like Clark will be gone by our pick

 

[Lachy96]

Where does marlion pickett go in the draft? Had slightly better stats than kelly from last year and won their b and f, would love if we got him into our mids.

west coast probably pick him up with one of the picks they didn't use on Tim Kelly

Surely we would be into matthew parker too kicked 39 goals we need that mid sized forward with pace.

 

[youthcoach]

do freo fans like the idea of taking all the WA talent first. what do you think freo could do with the draft picks

 

[Cobbler]

There’s only a couple I’d look at from WAFL. Parker and Michael Bennell.

14 and 31 we need small forwards.

Hill and a slider like Butters would be brilliant.

picks 14, 31, 43, 65 and I think (77 or 81)

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Who’s the best inside mid we can get at pick 14?

I’d imagine requisites / prioritisation -

- Inside mid
- great work ethic
- WA boy

do you know about where they are from vic metro/country etc

Jackson Hately

POS: Midfielder
Ht 190cm, Wt 81kg, DOB 21/10/00
From Central District/South Australia
September ranking: 10

The big-bodied midfielder had a consistent season for Central District and in the under-18s for South Australia, and has pushed himself into first-round calculations because of it. Hately averaged 24 disposals a game in Central's reserves, and 23 disposals for the SA side that won the division one title, and also featured in some strong performances for the senior side.



This guy. SA kid (Neale) for an SA kid.

Hope he slides!

Liam Stocker


POS: Midfielder
Ht 183cm, Wt 83kg, DOB 23/1/00
From Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
September ranking: 20

The Sandringham Dragon's stocks rose as the year went on, as he returned from a broken jaw to play some very strong footy towards the end of the season. The hard-working, strong-bodied and ball-finding midfielder won the Morrish Medal as the best player in the TAC Cup for his efforts. He kicks the ball well on both feet, is tough and mature and has the mindset to be playing AFL footy next year. Missed the Combine with a shoulder injury that he played with late in the season.


Will be available

I'm afraid he is too good to fall to freo. other club will see his size and talent first. but looks good if he does. what do you think of using the first pick on hill, he may not last til 2nd round. my preference is WA first, country either VIC or SA next, metro for sake of retention

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Well it will be mids all the way you'd think. MAYBE O'Reilly at 43 if we plan on playing him back.

I'm assuming its Hill at 14 since he fills a need. Joyce/English/Stack at 31 and 43.
