I just don't see it. The Allies team isn't as good as last year. The SA team nowhere near as good, Vic Metro not as good either. WA team is better but it's not over flowing with huge talent.

Myself and another poster have commented on this. Is it fair to compare? Not really but then again I wasn’t overly taken by what I saw but I ain’t no recruiter.
The 2018 crop was a rather gifted crew, they had a little bit of everything and certainly a heap of top end talls.
I think we may look back at the 2018 draft for years to come and Port certainly feel like they nailed their draft picks.

I don't think it's necessarily that 2018 was better, but there were far more notable talls in that draft. This year, I can't think of any KPPs likely to be drafted in the first round besides McAsey, and maybe Gould. They're the ones who tend to generate the most hype and discussion. Looks like the top end has a lot more outside speed and clever goalsneaks, and a lot less contested beasts and key position players. Basically more of Rankine's type, less of Lukosius' type if we're going to compare to 2018. With these types of players, it's also a lot harder to pick your standouts. I'd argue that the very top end is not as strong as 2018, but this year will bat waaaaayy deeper. In my opinion, Pick 25 this year will be just as valuable as Pick 15 last year, while Pick 5 this year is maybe worth last's year Pick 10

There's something in this draft for everyone....Around 30 lads I'd be comfortable with my club selecting.
the games were better last year, thats why i was calling it a super draft even when people were down playing it, the big difference has been Vic Country this year, they have been 10 times better than last season(i thought they were the best team and choked against the 2nd best team WA in the final round), so theres more talent from Vic overall, but a drop in talent from SA, VM and the Allies areas and a small bump in WA talent this year
the top 10 or so players last year were special and the talent overall i thought was deeper, there was 66 taken last year plus 3 in the mid season draft and a few unlucky, this year i think will be a few less picked from the group, and not the 15 or so rookies playing good footy in the AFL first year with another 15 on the verge of making their debuts, it was very strong last year and this year seems strong but definitely a small drop in overall talent imo.

Maybe that's why I like it more than last year's.
Last year's had that little MA burst after about pick 40.

So how far could Kemp fall given the news he's done his ACL?
Going of recent drafts not much

Not much, Like end of the first round to the Tiges?
I can dream can't I? I suppose with live trading any club can try and jump up to grab him, so it will be interesting to see where he lands given he won't be able to test or play Nab League Finals.
Personally think he is no chance to get past one of GWS first round picks so unless you finish below them or Bombers you will need to trade up to get him I reckon hahaNot much, Like end of the first round to the Tiges?

I couldn't see him falling past Gold Coasts second pick (tied to the Lions finishing position).
Do you believe GWS would select Kemp ahead of Gould or Luke Jackson?
GWS could turn Kemp into whatever they want him to be, GWS have such a strong young list and having another player they could move around like a Tomlinson I think would be a good move.
