Resource 2020 AFL Draft Combine Results

[Jen2310]

With his 2km time I can’t see him getting a gig round 1 as he doesn’t have the running capacity for the next level yet. Can kind of get away with it playing down back but he won’t play ahead of the likes of Crisp/Noble/Maynard. Best to develop his midfield game in the 2s for a year no rush

I wouldn't pay any attention to his time trial. Hasn't had any kind of pre-season in 2 years. With his injury. That can easily be fixed. Just needs an injury free pre-season and get more fitness in him.

I was talking to his old coach from the chargers and some recruiters and they weren't too concerned based on that. But with more fitness in the pre-season, maybe even some VFL games. He should def aim to press his luck for the midfield. Pendles not getting any younger.
But he will only barely be 18 by the time round 1 rolls around, so yeah, there is no rush.

That makes it all the more important to ease him into the AFL lifestyle, someone without 2 pre-seasons will be behind the 8ball compared to not only for fellow draftees but also the players who have been in the AFL system for awhile.

Not saying he can’t improve his fitness which he obviously will it’s just a tough ask to be ready for round 1.

Harry Sharp broke Jay Rantall's 2KM time trial today at the vic metro combine.

I like him as a footballer, so to see he has other talents that align with footy is good to see, the only query I have is why GWV dropped him prior to finals last yr? Idk?

Unsure. Wasnt' ready? when did he get into footy?

Yeah, fair point. And you're right. Lets not rush the kid. Plenty of time, and you want to make sure they are 100%

I guess I'm a little excited about his prospects. I jumped ahead.

Those 20m times must be taken with a grain of salt as they had a tailwind to assist those times.

The times more likely work out as 2.90 instead of 2.80 and so on.

Is it unusual they ran them outside? Was it a Covid thing?

Also, Harry Sharp is not a name that gets bandied around too much, Is he likely to be picked up. I realise he must have some interest in getting to the combine and all but you need more than a good tank. Where would he be likely to fall?

Yep a covid thing

He wasn’t apart of the original academy intake which he honestly should have been apart of, being a lighter wingman type it makes it very hard for him to get picked up early. Brayden Ham

would be a good example as someone who went with a very late pick and I’d still expect the same for Sharp. I would try and develop him as a hard running and tackling small forward.

The result that pricked my interest really is Liam Kolar. His 20m coupled with this 2km given his background not surprising. I have watched him since he played some games as a bottom ager colts at St Mary's and seen him develop through to the Knights. Hasn't played a lot of football at the level but he is one I feel could be a big surprise come draft time and go much earlier than first thought.

His teammate mate McMahon wasn’t too shabby either. Really the 3 big Knights boys had excellent showings

 

[Supersuns]

Will Phillips not test?

McMahon and Cox have always been there, Kolar as a bolter has done very well. How did Ewan McPherson go? I reckon the Knights were in for a good 2020 as they had a number of players who looked solid during the practice games and suffered a bit (like a lot of players) for not being able to get out and show their development. Watson, Bowne and Potter were 3 in particular.

eDPS when would you expect the heights and weights to be publicly available? A few I'm particularly looking forward to seeing

Well the players in my rankings update atleast will be public by the end of today

Hollands didn’t attend any of the combines so his height won’t be updated which is annoying

You mean to tell me you don't trust that he's actually 190cm

Well no, I’ll be sure to call out Twomey if he has him at 190cm in his next rankings update hah

 

[Apex36]

Pwoarrr McInnes 20m time

I still reckon the lack of discussion on him this year is ridiculous even without playing.

he’s a 192cm (from memory) bull who’s the perfect athlete.

193 now. Also had a tailwind, but regardless it’s a super quick time. Worth noting he was dead last in the 2km though.

 

[TradeDraft]

At the Moment that Shows he be a Burst Player until he works on his Endurance more

Do you have any idea of his previous times? Has he always been pretty poor or is this more because of no footy/injury?

No idea if he even has previous times tbh. I don’t think he’s actually done much in the way of a preseason for the past 2 years due to injury.

 

[Skiddies]

When you look at the photos side by side. And only 2cms between them, it’s hard to believe the guy at the top has 4 kgs on Reef.

 

[Ysaye]

At 3.17 seconds for 20m, iwhere does Zach Reid roughly sit speedwise in comparison with other the talls (200cm+) both this year and generally?
