Game Day 2019 AFL Draft

[SSwans2011]

"The Bombers have traded up for Harrison Jones, a developing key forward who will they will still be hoping to pair alongside Joe Daniher for many years to come."

Not sure we'd be interested in bringing Jones across next year in a package deal tbh

 

[tombomb]

There were guys on here who wanted us to take Gould at 5 ..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

there are a bunch of posters on here who think there is no chance under any circumstances that Daniher will come to us next year. I am not sure whether to believe them or logic.

 

[Bandicoot]

Would love any of Rivers, Rantall or RalphSmith.

Will Gould has been on the radar of AFL scouts for several years, after showing promise at the Under-16 National Championships. An immediate highlight of Gould’s game are his foot skills over both short and long distances, having been trusted with the kick-in duties with Glenelg and South Australia. He has a thumping right foot kick which commonly travels 50 metres with relative ease and suitable penetration. A physically imposing defender, Gould’s ability to read the flight of the ball, intercept then generate rebound from defence, matched with a potency in the air ensures he can match-up on small, medium or tall opponents. A former state sprinter, ‘Gouldy’ has a commanding presence about him and while not quick, regularly looks to break lines with his explosive power.

Although his defensive versatility is regarded as one of Gould’s greatest strengths as a backman, his height of 191cm is considered on the small side for a key defender. And for this reason, many draft pundits have pencilled him in as a general defender rather one who will be able to handle the modern-day forward giants in the mould of Tom Lynch or Tom Hawkins. Although he has the strength, this five-10cm height discrepancy could be cause for concern. Furthermore, Gould has been deployed throughout the midfield in limited patches. With his frame, explosiveness, ability to win the contested football and polished skill set, Gould has the tools to transition into a top-tier onballer. However he would also need to build up his endurance (19.4 on the yo-yo test at the National Draft Combine), as well as his athleticism which includes speed (3.218 seconds) and agility (9.004) to more effectively impact in a midfield transition. But athleticism is not his strength, instead Gould is a composed player with an elite kick and vision and leads from the front in defence. A traditional footballer, Gould just knows what to do, when and stands up when his moment comes.

Rantall to us most likely

 

[mikey_san]

Smith would have been good for us...looks quality.

 

[tombomb]

i do like how the fox commentators act kind of shocked how every player who gets selected, dropped to the selection where they were taken.

'well ... we were waiting for that, werent we?!'
