Game Day 2019 AFL Draft Day- RD1, RD2 + beyond

[ButterMill]

Well... Looking forward to scouring the internet to learn about this kid. I think I am looking forward to it...

 

[Turbocat]

A smokey!!

The Cats have sprung the first major surprise, drafting Francis Evans with their pick No.41. He was playing in the Victorian amateurs competition earlier this year and only played two games for the Calder Cannons. The Cats have backed what they've seen – they had some competition for him, with Essendon, North, Port and GWS also showing interest in him.


from the afl website ...... Id like soem vision on him

 

[Down at K Park]

Who the hell is francis evans?

 

[STPer18]

Haha there it is! The obligatory no profile, no image, no nothing on the AFL draft tracker. Good luck young fella.

 

[Gogeelong]

Sounds like a forward/midfielder. Kicked 5 goals from 29 possessions

Are you sure there was interest from these clubs

 

[Two Planks]

We got pick 11 for 27 yet Bigfooty is about to blow up with melts about a pick in the 40s.

Perspective

Tonight has been a massive win for our club.

 

[winty]

Four other clubs were interested in him as well, so he must have some talent....

 

[MacStradbroke]

I reckon this kid might just become a fan favourite. Just a hunch.

might get the wrong photo soon too

 

[Cataholic]

Um no he made a trade all the think tank would of made too.

You believe so?

I'm not so sure.

NOT much is known from a NAB League perspective about Evans, who came into the Cannons’ line-up for three games, booting five goals from 29 disposals and 12 marks after coming from local footy at the start of the year. He is clean at ground level and overhead, and is able to work hard to apply scoreboard pressure. He has to add to his smaller frame and build his endurance, but showed some great signs. He is a somewhat unknown quantity against his peers at NAB League level, but showed he is more than capable of matching them at his best. He is clever overhead for his size and could be that smaller forward who eventually pushes up for a midfield role once he develops his endurance base.
STRENGTHS: Clean hands, scoreboard impact, marking, kicking
IMPROVEMENTS: Strength, endurance

Surely we go mature at 63, or whoever slides.
No one will touch Brownless, leave him for round 2 of the rookie.

 

[winty]

All this bid matching is doing my head in.

 

[dazbroncos]

#43 - Tigers take Noah Cumberland

GO Catters

 

[Seeds]

You believe so?

I'm not so sure.

Who wouldnt swap pick 27 for pick 11? Absolutely no one.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Are you sure there was interest from these clubs

According to Cal there is. I took that from the AFL chat.

 

[BigCat1]

Ave 9 possies from 3 TAC cup games.

Geez Bianco must be bad

 

[Ratcat]

A Wells smokey he couldn't resist the left field selection.
Frank Evans yeah!

 

[cats_09]

Anyone know anything about him?

Yep

His name is Francis

 

[Grimoz]

All this bid matching is doing my head in.

Going to be painful at next years draft with all the academy bids.

 

[Cataholic]

Who wouldnt swap pick 27 for pick 11? Absolutely no one.

How many would've seen the opportunity?

 

[Two Planks]

Ave 9 possies from 3 TAC cup games.

Geez Bianco must be bad

He kicked 5 goals in 6 quarters. You can make stats to be positive or negative.

 

[dazbroncos]

Evans - kicked 5 goals in 6 quarters of footy before he got a heel issue and Wells took him.
