2019 Draft thread

Cal Twomey has us taking Rivers with our first pick in his Phantom Draft.

I'd be very happy with that. Bianco's probably my preference though.

Rivers definitely my preference there.

At our second pick, one of Dylan Williams or Jeremy Sharp will be available if the draft pans out this way.

Gold Coast nail the draft if Brodie Kemp slides that far. And top it off with Gould.

So the lions have written off Tozer?

This is hard to take as we have watched this young lad full of potential for years

I admit I was a it jealous seeing those two fall to them. Rivers would be good but I just think the potential of Gould could be really high

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Gunna be a few upset high ranked Vic lads with 7 interstate teams in the top 10

Have heard that Hayden Young is not real keen to head West. But it may be where he ends up.

Dylan Williams will be a very good get at 29.
Almost felt like we'll get a Jamie Elliott through draft when reading his profile.

Flynn Perez, Elijah Taylor or Nick Bryan at our third pick.

Flynn Perez, Elijah Taylor or Nick Bryan at our third pick.

Elijah Taylor & Charlie Comben were the 2 that i was tossing up. I just have the feeling a ready to go depth player like Partington suits your list whilst your contending for top 4. If a Neale, Robinson or McCluggage go down then Partington would relieve the pain slightly.

We have a lot of second and third year kids on our list that will be ahead of Partington. Probably about 10 or so.

Bryan is one of two or three genuine number 1 rucks in this draft.

We need a young developing ruck, and have the time to put a couple of years of development into him.

 

[Comeback Lions]

How many more CatBs can we have considering we'll have Madden and Eagles as CatBs in 2020?

Always been able to have 3 cat B rookies. For a while because of Eagles/The recruit we had 4. Will most likely have 3 again in 2020: Madden, Fullarton and Eagles. So we can't pick other Queensland players as Cat B.

That is an interesting point. I wonder if we're angling to still keep Eagles outside the normal count, in which case we may have an extra Cat B slot than we think, e.g. a Cumberland shaped spot.

 

[Surly Boy]

We could have some interest in Georgiades from WA:

"Port Adelaide will consider calling his name as early as pick No.18, while Richmond (pick No.19), Brisbane (pick No.21) and Geelong (pick No.24) are also monitoring the mobile forward's availability."

Class of 2019: How a simple corkie led to three surgeries, nine months off

Mitch Georgiades has travelled a different, and rather painful, journey throughout the 2019 season compared to most of the other prospects in this year's NAB AFL Draft pool

Was that what we applied for our was it just to re rookie him as a cat b?

Coming in to the year, he was rated as the number one tall forward prospect.

Not sure I’d role the dice with our first pick though.

 

[Section 5]

Final draft order. With thanks to Lore of BF Draft Hub for below image.

All picks that can't be used have been removed from the draft order.
Some picks may still be traded during the draft itself, of course.

 

[dlanod]

Was that what we applied for our was it just to re rookie him as a cat b?

The articles were referring to the latter but I don't think the average media joe would know that we've had an extra Cat B rookie for the last few years. We only figured it out by a method of elimination.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Coming in to the year, he was rated as the number one tall forward prospect.

Not sure I’d role the dice with our first pick though.

Especially as we will be drafting principally for need you would think and another shortish KPF is not a need. The need thing is of course always subject to the "we rated x very highly and when he was still available at our pick ..." scenario.

 

[Lace Out]

Gunna be a few upset high ranked Vic lads with 7 interstate teams in the top 10

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Coming in to the year, he was rated as the number one tall forward prospect.

Not sure I’d role the dice with our first pick though.

Agreed, wouldn't mind a tall forward at 29, but at 21 I'd rather just get whoever slides out of Rivers, Day, Cooper Stephens, Gould and Rantall.

Especially as we will be drafting principally for need you would think and another shortish KPF is not a need. The need thing is of course always subject to the "we rated x very highly and when he was still available at our pick ..." scenario.

I thought our brains trust had been quoted as saying "draft for talent, trade for need". So why would we be drafting principally for need? Georgiades looked to have good talent before the injury and has shown a good work ethic to get his body back in shape, so if we draft him it'd be for that reason.

Pick 34 *maybe*.

The Vic clubs will be excited at this prospect though.
