wouldnt be surprised if they start him in the first 2 or 3 rounds. Cause we've got a bit of a more solid list this year he probs won't be like lukosius and get a chance to play every week
Anderson has the body to step in right away. There is going to be some surprises come round 1 for our best 22 I reckon
Does Nick Holman need to be elevated or can he stay as a rookie. If he stays as a rookie and Martin leaves we have 5 senior and three rookie picks , is that correct ??
I believe that's correct. We should still be able to pre-sign 3-4 academy/Darwin kids or add delisted players to the rookie list depending on Holman/Marin situation. Maybe just waiting for some kids to finish exams? I was surprised that Rosas, Conroy and Budarick started preseason already. No school exams for them?
I’ve spoken to a couple of people who work in club land and its been pretty agreed upon that Rowell and Anderson are the clear 1 and 2 in the draft so that’s surprising that someone else doesn’t agree with that
The only player comes to mind is Green. Some so called draft experts have him number 1 or 2 and argue that there are clear 3 best in this draft - Rowell, Green, Anderson.
Green is definitely around there but he doesn’t have the game changing ability of Anderson or the complete game of Rowell. Still a very good footballer
No he didn't.
There’s obviously a few different opinions out there. I’ve heard others say if they had just the first pick they’d go Anderson as his potential ceiling is highest, and he is the most damaging midfielder when stationed up forward.
Who is your best 22?
I haven’t worked it out yet, but Corbett & Anderson should be in it.
The obvious response is - if you want to include players, you've got to exclude others.
Nice problem to have. More competition for spots should mean we finally start getting more acceptable performances, more consistently, out of a number of players who have a habit of only showing up every other week.
I expect Corbett & Lukosius to both be better than Day & Wright next year, although I think 1 of them will also be best 22 as the back-up ruck. I expect Anderson to be better than MacPherson, Lemmens, Miles, Brodie, B Ellis, Hanley & maybe Powell & Holman. Nothing against those guys & some of them could also be best 22. I just expect Corbett, Lukosius & Anderson to all be good & some of the others to slip back or maybe not recover from injuries. I'll wait until after the draft to pick my best 22.
I thought Holman was off the rookie list? I'm not sure but he definetly deserves to go up
You reckon Anderson will be better than macpherson, Brodie and Brandon Ellis round 1.
Not round 1. Over the season. They've all got potential. It is just my guess over the course of 2020.
Yeah fair enough.
Agree...no point picking a 22 until we know who we have to pick from. Still could be a smokie to appear between now and last selection. I would say however that Wright will be under the microscope if he doesn't show a lot more than he did last year so he'd be on my 'doubtful' list already and maybe Lemmens as another. Great position to be in though with so many players in a good position to push out some of the established guys from last year - and like it or not, some will have to go back to NEAFL to show their strengths.
