List Mgmt. 2020 Draft

[George]

 

[Grav]

With what I believe to us having just on enough midfielders for the time being, am going to bring my selection for a later pick forward Jackson Callow. Would be a great partner with Winx, can play either end of the ground, not as tall as Carlisle but only 18 so would still be growing, then if by some chance we get Bing, either one could swap.
Here are a few bits that I’m basing my selection on.

Toughness
State League Grand Final, he stands up to former AFL player Mitch Thorp 13 years his senior.



Versatility
From the same seniors match.

“Callow made his way into the final 22 after being named on the extended bench as he seemed unhindered by the ankle injury he sustained which had the potential to rule him out for the season. Like he did for most of the year, he played a half at either end of the ground, tasked with the Mitch Thorp matchup early. He was not afraid to push Thorp back and put his solid frame to good use in the contest. He kept him goalless, but a turnover from a poor kick in the back half resulted in a Launceston goal. Moving to the other end of the ground he was a physical presence more than anything. House ensured he worked for his touches and made Callow worry about him more than his own game, often only engaging body rather than leading at the ball carrier. Even though he struggled to find space, he kicked a goal at a crucial time in the final quarter.”

Wonder if we’ll do any pick swaps leading up to the draft.

He looks like a good country footballer to me , very solid but doesn't seem to have much place and only 193 cm

In saying that, for a big bloke his testing comes across as ok though.

PRESEASON TESTING HIGHLIGHTS:
Standing Vertical Jump – 61cm
Running Vertical Jump (R/L) – 63cm/64cm
Speed (20m) – 3.08 seconds
Agility – 9.00 seconds
Endurance – 20.5

 

[Cadillac]

You say exhibition, I say u18 All Stars. He was playing against the best of the best and the very kids he will be coming into the AFL against.

A game where his team dominated and he, as the premier KPF of the class, failed to have an impact.

I'm sure he has talent and that he will be fine but if this is what the highlights of 'the next Buddy Franklin' look like then I think we all need to just pump the brakes on the perpetual hype train that rolls out every draft.

was going to be the next Franklin too...

It was literally an exhibition match. It was a team thrown together over a weekend where they played him at half back and on the wing and 70% game tto ensure every player on the field got the same amount of playing time at every position. There was no game plan or structure put together on the day. Just 22 a side showcasing their individual talents. I remember at the time Jamarra was deciding whether or not to play after they won the NAB grand final 6 days earlier and he was going in pretty sore.

Yeah, one journalist at the herald sun said Spencer white

could be the next Buddy. But I don’t remember buddy going 25 in the draft.

This is Spencer Whites highlights reel from his top age


And this is Jamarra’s from his bottom age averaging nearly 3 goals a game and 12 in 3 finals as a bottom ager

Lol at the pushy shovey thing with Mitch who played 2 AFL games for 9 disposals and a goal. Proving his "toughness"

 

[Mangus]

How about we give you back Kent and we pick Parker back up? I was shocked at the decision to delist him as well I think the change in list size played a major part. Out of Hind, Kent and Parker he was the one I hoped we kept.


What are peoples thoughts on Sam Berry and Zane Trew a mate of mine is adamant that Berry will be the steal of the draft and if we can't get him go for Zane. My issue is that he says they are both inside mids and with the recruiting of Crouch I would think it is better to go for a pacey mid.

Also what is the deal with Max Heath a few mates think he could be an option if he is around for our 2nd pick but all I could find stats wise was one game with 4 disposals and 7 hitouts so why the fuss?

Additionally do you think we will use more then one pick this draft after the new changes?

Have seen Berry play a bit he is a big unit very powerful and explosive and really good leap and mark and a penetrating kick is likely to be more ready to go than your usual U18. I agree with your mate will be a steal likely he would have dominated TAC Cup and APS if he had played this year.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Sam Berry

Sam Berry: Powerful, goalkicking mid a draft gem

Gippsland Power midfielder Sam Berry can lay heavy tackles and hit the scoreboard too. Could he be an early pick in this year's NAB AFL Draft?

[Tommy Wigs]

Any CHB types broadly around our range?

 

[borderbarry]

Any chance the games played by fathers will be reduced before the draft? 80 games would get us Brett Bowey's son, 70 Russell Jeffrey's son.

 

[shlong]

When do we get back to training?
I still think we should go after pace and run rather than a chb.

 

[borderbarry]

I would not mind us recruiting from Tassy. Our one and only premiership was based on Tassy Players. Doc our captain, Verdun a brownlow, Ian Stewart two brownlows for us.

 

[BrutThough]

When do we get back to training?
I still think we should go after pace and run rather than a chb.

Start of December for the 1st-4th years (and presumably Crouch) and everyone else returns first week of January.

 

[borderbarry]

Not much of a break for the boys this year.
But I am grateful, wont be that long until footy again.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

He played 2 games this year and struggled so didn't get another chance.

He was already behind Butler, Lonie and Kent.

We've now brought Crouch in which will likely mean we can push Gresham forward more and we've also brought in Jack Higgins which pushes Parker further back.

It expect Lonie and Kent will now become depth players with Gresham, Butler, Higgins and Billings rotating though the small forward roles.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Knightmare's contradictory take on JU-H ...... just for Barrels

Rationale: You can't give him a run and jump at the football or he's taking the mark

Weaknesses: Prone to dropping marks

I mean is he good at taking marks? ........ or is he not good at taking marks?

 

[Mowman]

Who are the best KPD in the draft

 

[Baker_for_PM]

Any chance the games played by fathers will be reduced before the draft? 80 games would get us Brett Bowey's son, 70 Russell Jeffrey's son.

I'd be happy if all they did was reduced it by one game.

ST KILDA

Draft picks: 21, 64, 67, 74, 93

Father-Son/Academy prospects: N/A

St Kilda’s first pick falls at a good point which should allow the club to snare a handy footballer after a year like no other. Midfielders Tom Powell, Finlay Macrae and Jack Carroll might well be the trio in the mix for the vacant spot on the club’s list, with the latter having extra height that might give him some advantage. With St Kilda’s onballer brigade being a similar style, 17-year-old Carroll is a prime target given he stands at 187cm. He is a great player in traffic and showed his inside work this year after playing more of a role across half back in the past. He broke his wrist late in the season but showed enough to have clubs in the first round mix to consider drafting him next month. He also possesses good agility and looms as an inside midfielder in the future.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Who are the best KPD in the draft

Stolen from Knightmare.

My personal opinion is , if you want a key defender in 2021 or 2022 , you need to look at trades or DFA.

Denver Grainger-Barras
Best position: Key defence/general defence
Height, weight: 195cm, 78kg
Recruited from: Swan Districts
Projected draft range: 3-15
Preseason ranking: 17
Rationale: This year's premier key defender, Grainger-Barras is an effective shutdown key defender and has the scope to become one of the better interceptors in this pool over time given how well he reads the ball in flight. Grainger-Barras has risen up these rankings due to solid WAFL League performances and because he has grown 3cm since last year. While he is still lightly built, he is now looking more likely to be able to develop into a genuine key defender.
Strengths: Intercept marking, reading of the ball in flight, one-on-one defence, shuts down opposition forwards, clean ball user, athleticism.
Weaknesses: Endurance, production, size and strength.

Heath Chapman
Best position: Key defence/general defence
Height, weight: 193cm, 81kg
Recruited from: West Perth
Projected draft range: 5-25
Preseason ranking: N/A
Rationale: Rises on the back of strong WAFL Colts form. Averaging 25 disposals and eight marks per game over his past five matches, Chapman is suited to the modern game as the premier tall intercepting defender in the junior ranks who combines that well with his precise kick.
Strengths: Intercept marking, reading of the ball in flight, production, precise kick to target, mobility, leap, endurance.
Weaknesses: Unclear whether he will be tall enough to play key defence at AFL level, unclear capacity to limit output of direct opponent as he is mostly used allowed to play loose, yet to experience opportunity to play against strong opposition having been stuck play WAFL Colts to date.
---------------------

Then there was...

Oscar Clavarino
Clavarino as a key defender plays an accountable style of game, shutting down his direct opponent and demonstrating impressive strength in the one-on-one contests. At 194cm, 80kg, Clavarino was arguably one of the best shutdown key defenders in the TAC Cup in 2016 for and also played all four games for Vic Country during this year's AFL Under-18 Championships.
