List Mgmt. 2020 Draft Thread

Bucks seemed to allude to the fact that our backline is pretty set, at least for 2021. But that doesn't take into account Howe possibly only having 2-3 years left and Roughead only a year or so.

Seems like we'll be backing in Keane to take over from Roughead and Murphy is in the wings. Kelly too if we want.

Kelly and Murphy of course can play forward so my theory is that we just draft another tall defender or two hence my suggestion for Chapman and/or Nik Cox.

So your a talent to the backline and role players up fwd kind of guy?
 
Pundits reckon that the draft won't get in to the 6os. So there will be a fair bit of passing that raises the value of that pick. But it's all a bit moot if talking about points. If we have to use that pick for points, it's likely to be before the passing has begun.
That pick will have been used in a reef bid well before anyone starts passing.

I wonder what happened to him then?
Not sure. Looking at the draft board, his Dad has a bit of a frosty relationship with the club. They delisted his brother after his first contract (rookie I believe, so 1 year) expired. Maybe it was the Edwards family who decided that the ND was a better option than the crows. Who knows?
 
Explosive, fast, great kick and mark, not too small and has a decent rack on him. The only question is his endurance but he still goes in the midfield and gets a lot of possesions, he's a freak

I've been reading the reaction from some Crows supporters elsewhere online - from what I gather it seems that Edwards had been um-ing and ah-ing all year about whether he was going to nominate the Crows (likely due to this frosty relationship you mention) so the Crows decided to beat him to the punch.

They've got decent picks. They may think they'll fill their quota with blokes they rate higher.

They delisted his brother a couple years ago.

But they have two NGA products and there was talk they couldn't take all three. I wonder maybe that factored into heir decision, they rated the two NGA above him.

Hopefully he still gets drafted and shows them why they shouldn't have passed.

Possibly. But usually a club will make room for a relatively well rated FS. It’s not like the Crows list is full of stars.

There might be something in that. Tyson Edwards and Andrew McLeod had a bitter falling out many years back.

Sounds a bit far-fetched. It playing out through the son would be unbelievably petty on the behalf of all concerned.

Possibly, but they are a very petty and divided club still recovering from the "camp", so I wouldnt rule out the possibility that Edwards doesnt want his son in that culture. Only this year McLeod complained that he didnt feel welcome at the club.

Did McLeod really say that. Imagine your best ever player not feeling welcome at the club. Was there a Careyesque stuff up?

It’s more likely the family is a little bitter over the older brother being recruited and then cut after only a year. Word has it they feel he was harshly treated.
 
2020 list was in total 47 players. Breakdown was 38 senior list , 5 x Rookies and 4 by Category B rookies.
We currently have with retirements , delisting and traded players 10 players off that list leaving us with a current list size of 37 players in total. ( Beams included as retirement)

our senior list is currently 31 players but Miocheck and Madgen must be upgraded this year so that’s 33 so called confirmed. I think Keynes resigning for 2 years means he must also upgrade to the senior list so that’s no 34 players.

I’d say they will at max sign or draft onto the senior list Reef plus 2 or 3 players depending what they do with picks 14-16 and next years first being traded into this year.
That would leave our senior list with 37 or 38 players.
I think with Greenwood that they may delist him and re rookie him on a 1 year deal.
Also they may do the same with Wills.

if they make no changes to Greenwood / Wills from the senior list we will have 37-38 senior list after drafting.

rookie list will be Noble, Appleby,

category B rookies will be 2: Tolhill and Wilson.

so total list size would be 41-42 players.

this would allow for between 2-3 players available to pick up in the preseason or delisted player market .
I believe if the pies use this it will be for ready made player. Potentially Parker from the saints , maybe Lonie if we offer him a 2 year contract and someone from SANFL or WAFL .

We don't have to go in with a full list and it may potentially be more viable this year especially to hold back on one or more list spots and keep an eye on state league players (including undrafted kids from the this year's draft class) to see who might be worth picking up later on where there will be "pre-season" and possibly "mid season" opportunities to add players.

Agree. With kids missing their last year of footy, there may be some ripping players available in the midseason draft. Bontempelli and Pendles may have gone undrafted in their draft years if they missed their final year of u18.

Imagine if we cut Josh Daicos after 1 year..

This, I hope we go in with 1 or maybe 2 less. Bottom teams like Norf & Crows should go in with 2 maybe up to 4 less.
