Unofficial Preview 2020 Draft Discussion

Certainly looks to be him.

Title says U16 400m in 2020 but that could just mean the video wasn't uploaded until a year or 2 later. Be nice to have another endurance beast on our list.

 

[MJA33]

In 2020 played 10 x U18 games for Norwood (4 'times in bests') and 6 x Reserves games (also 4 'times in bests'). Kicked a 5-goal haul in one of his U18 games.

Unfortunately we didn't capture stats for Reserves (and U16) games this year in the SANFL comps because of budget cuts.

The highlights above are from the 5 goal game!

Seems like he has a bit of [PLAYERCARD]Dylan Moore[/PLAYERCARD] about him

Only 177cm. We really love our Norwood dwarves don't we

More power and speed. Better suited to an inside role than Moore.

I would be very grateful if someone could confirm this as well! Cheers guys!

So, if my maths are right we still have 1 rookie spot left for MSD or prior?

Nah, the extra rookie spot would have to be for a cat B rookie.

I'm not exactly sure how the long term injury list works but I guess there's a chance we put Sicily on that if we want to make a SPS or MSD selection.

But no more regular (senior or rookie) list spots open.

 

[Roby]

So did I, is that ok?

It wasn't rhetorical. I asked first.

 

[Roby]

2 out of 3 kids drafted don't make it but no point making any calls the day after the draft is there ?

What is the point of this board if it is not discuss including speculation?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Luke Parks was the SA player we’d shown a bit of interest in that played similar to a recently retired Hawk(Stratton). Ex-Swans academy.


Carlton took him in the rookie draft.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Sounds like you aren't overly impressed with taking Mitchell as early as 29 Davo-27 ?

 

[KermitJagger]

Interesting that neither Henry Walsh or Max Heath got picked up in the Rookie Draft. It seems as though clubs are taking the opportunity to push the speculative rucks into either the VFL or an over-age year at NAB league level to see whether they've got something to work with.

Can't blame them, pretty shrewd move.

 

[Roby]

Along those lines, I would like to give myself a “Luke Darcy”

I predicted that if we did not take Perkins,Holland’s,Cox,Bruhn, we would take DGB.

Are you here just to criticise other posters?

 

[TylerDurden]

Henry went to Pies.

 

[Roby]

12.

Only kidding.

On a serious note 12.

12 divided by 2 would be about right.

So I photoshopped that Poppy picture for nuthin

 

[Roby]

What I like from this draft haul is that we actually drafted players with elite attributes.

DGB with his marking and ability to play on all types of forwards.

Downie with his speed and kicking (and thighs).

Brockman and Mitchell with their speed, agility and creativity.

I feel like the last 5 years of drafting we have tended to go for players who are perhaps jack of all trades yet masters of none.

Players like Morrison who is a competent footballer but without any standout traits as a player. I am not having a crack at Harry but you get my point, what are his weapons as a player?

For me to make it in the AFL these days you need to have that one point of difference to build your game around (a bit like being drafted in the NBA). Otherwise you are probably just a really good VFL / SANFL / WAFL player.

Morrison will do better now with the longer quarters.

 

[Roby]

So how many of these picks are best 22 next year?

A lot of the enthusiasm washes off if we dont see them on the G until 2022.

DGB will play. Brockman is good chance.

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

Morrison will do better now with the longer quarters.

Morrison is who he is, just an okay footballer, won’t improve anymore.

 

[TazHawk15]

Go read the post again.

Everyone else got the joke it was so obvious that no one could not possibly get it, except you it seems.

Stop being a drama queen.

Assuming you dont mean Henry here

 

[lyger]

More power and speed. Better suited to an inside role than Moore.

Saunders sounds like a very rounded player and a solid prospect.
Can play inside and outside, accumulate and set up play, has pace and endurance, and kick a goal.
I wonder why he hasn’t rated any mention? (That I know of anyway).

 

[KermitJagger]

Henry went to Pies.

Good get, Henry Walsh. Got the wrong brother of an AFL player and mixed the names.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Morrison will do better now with the longer quarters.

I agree with that, he is more an endurance athlete than a power one.

And to be fair Harry was far from our worst this year, I was just using him to illustrate a point (maybe unfairly on my part).

I am still happy though that we drafted players with identifiable weapons/strengths though instead of in between / utility type of players (of which we currently have a plethora)

 

[jameses]

Morrison is who he is, just an okay footballer, won’t improve anymore.

He just turned 22, he is still so young and has scope for improvement. Won’t be a superstar but not sure why you are so insistent that he won’t improve.

Did another joke go over the old Bonce?

Whoosh.
