Spoiler: Lore's 2020 Draft Order

 

[Souup]

Can’t kick.

Again, bullshit. You've clearly never seen him play.

 

[Ashley B]

Afl helping the Swans what a shock

They have more asterisk's than the scum.

How f***ing stupid is the AFL? Why would you change this rule after the trading period? Teams would've based their trading strategies around the knowledge that they can only take as many draft picks as list spots available.

They can still trade picks now up until a week before the draft.

Phillips is not ‘an elite ball user’. In fact, he’s the complete opposite, a butcher. Good hand baller but poor by foot. Can’t be drafting mids like that

He doesn’t have a lot of depth on his kicking and he has a little bit of an awkward technique, but he has no worries finding targets. He knows his limitations and very accomplished at hitting up targets, especially those 30-35m short passes.

"Good" doesn't even to begin to describe his handballing, probably the best junior I've seen by hands since Cunnington. His vision and ability to open up space for his team mates is nothing short of elite.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Makes sense considering they were still stuffing around with list spot numbers leading up to the end of the trade period. Not surprising that the AFL makes decisions on the fly...

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Again, bullshit. You've clearly never seen him play.

What's his kicking like Souup - is there anyone who you could compare to in the AFL now?

Is he good both sides? Does his kicking have depth - can he hit Larkey on the lead from 40?

Perhaps the highlight reel hasn't done him justice here.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

That really is a staggering statistic for an 18 year old in open company.

I tells ya before - DGB will be the best/most valuable player from this draft when we look back in 5 years time - if we end up with pick 5 and he falls to that we will be very happy.

Interesting player.

"When he's fit he's as good as Thilthorpe & Jones."

If Thilthorpe is as good as people are saying, that's a fair wrap from a bloke who would know.

If we don't go tall with either of our first round picks, then these two represent really good value later on.

One thing you want in a key forward is competitiveness and aggression, these two have it in spades.

Callow imo is still the 2nd best contested mark in this draft behind DBG.

If Thilthorpe is as good as people are saying, that's a fair wrap from a bloke who would know.

Prior to his knee injuries he was a sure thing to be a top 5 pick. By the time he gets fit it will have been 3 years since he played any consistent footy.

Huge risk with his knee injuries.

His kicking seems pretty effective. It's just not a classical style to look at.

Can't decide whether I'm more excited for the next Brad Ebert

Where are these from, GR?

 

[eDPS]

Callow imo is still the 2nd best contested mark in this draft behind DBG.

Don’t sleep on Kaine Baldwin who could make a case for being the number 1 contested marker in the draft.

Too true...how do you feel about him making it back after his knee injuries? PS been loving your updates this year.

Jackson Callow primed to be the biggest disappointment from this draft IMO. Bit of a tweener who is quite limited in his skillset as a 'key' forward.

 

[Shinboner1]

thilthorpe is 200cm+ at 102kgs. What a beast for an 18yr old. Must take at pick 2 if available.

Check out the goal at the 12 second mark.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Check out the goal at the 12 second mark.

This bloke is a stallion.

Would setup our forward line for the next 10 years.
