what percentage of kids invited to the draft combine get drafted? is it all?

all 200 kids?(80 national combine 120 state combines) no, i think all of the players drafted come from the combine invites though or a very high percentage.

Did a quick cross check think 60 out of 80 (inc McAdam and Corbett) who were at main combine got in main draft. Most of those 20 who missed were rookies or like Stack picked up later

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Lucas Rocci wins the Morrish: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader...y/news-story/68a99fee87ff3bcaea536fde9a211eb5

Hasn't gotten much of a run in our draft watcher threads. Any thoughts?

What part did you think was Laughable ?

 

[eDPS]

What part did you think was Laughable ?

Noah Anderson getting only 2 votes from his 4 games kind of makes it a joke.

How a 44 disposal and 2 goal game doesn’t give you 3 votes I’ll never know, Rowell got the three votes in every game and despite playing well there was no way he was best on ground in rounds 1 and 2 with Anderson having more influence both in disposals and on the scoreboard

Very true, Anderson is no1 pick for me, Rowell is a good player but Anderson has more hurt factor and can play multiple positions.

Not sure if you watch the live stream but l thought it was fairly poor but l suppose better than nothing

Some streams are better than others, it can depend on the location and weather. Whenever the games have commentary the footage is much better which it should be for all the finals this year.

 

[QLD Lion 2019]

What part did you think was Laughable ?

Oea from Gold Coast finished 5th on 11 votes from 5 games as a small forward. Budarick wins the Academy Medal and finishes on 4 votes. Apted from Lions gets 2 votes after playing 2 games with 6 & 8 disposals respectively.

He has been forseen!
Hence, he must!

 

[thetiger17]

Rocci will be the smokey of the draft

 

[Pykie]

Nope.

Has a 2017 feel about it after the first 12 or so. Except it will be missing the mature agers who bolstered the 2017 draft.

Yeah the same 2017 with the likes of Higgins, Allen, Worpel, Daniels, McCartin, Myers, Guelfi all taken after that point all comfortably in their teams best 22?

 

[andleanback]

Rocci will be the smokey of the draft

To go how high? At this stage I’d say he’s a rookie at best

 

[Ishikawa]

Oscar Allen at 21(!), Sam Taylor (quite possibly the best very young KPD in the game), the underrated and often overlooked Charlie Ballard, Joel Garner, Zac Langdon, Will Powell...

You'd be more than happy with that bunch.

Some of the Allie players with Afl traits that could be late picks Dakin, Murray, Thorne ,Gore , Coleman and Ellem

 

[matsta1975]

Luke Jackson will go in top 12 with the possibility of going as high as 3 depending on who moves picks before draft

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Will any of the NAB League finals have commentary? Been a bit disappointed by the streams so far, particularly Calder today where I could barely make out numbers.

Blame the AFL for that, still a long way to go.

I must have forgot to turn up the volume on my puter again today?





Piss poor by whoever is in charge of the NAB League streams...

 

[TJ1996]

It's outrageous that the AFL pumps more money, time, and effort into the coverage of one state's junior league than the U18 Championships themselves and it's still incredibly subpar.

 

[Mr north man]

It's outrageous that the AFL pumps more money, time, and effort into the coverage of one state's junior league than the U18 Championships themselves and it's still incredibly subpar.

Time for the AFL to tender out all NAB league and Under 18 championship to a Foxtel with maybe 1 game a week on either a Chanel 7,9,10 or Foxtel with a highlight interview show thrown in.
I like to see the up and coming players coming thru
