Game Day 2021 AFL Draft

[anotherletdown]

Is Corey Warner looking unlikely now with Sheldrick getting picked?

I'd say Dittmar looks very unlikely now. Think it knocks out another favourite of mine in Murley too. Warner still a possibility

 

[momentbymoment]

His kicking technique in space is fine. Seen him butcher a few but not often. It's more his dump kicks from stoppages that are sometimes a bit shallow. But you aren't picking him for his kicking. His natural football ability to be the one who wins it when it's in dispute is uncanny. This might seem like hyperbole, but there is Luke hodge in his stoppage ability. Like a midget hodge without the skills and overhead ability.

Damn Chopflop.
One more post like this and I will be fully onboard the Sheldrick train.

Is he our Kennedy replacement?

 

[Millky95]

What time does Day 2 start?

 

[ShireSwan]

Assuming that is inside info on Johnson? Have not heard that at all.

If it's on Bigfooty that makes it

 

[anotherletdown]

You’d assume Freo take Johnson with the first pick tomorrow unless they get the Kings Ramsom for it

They'll find it very hard not to take Motlop TBH. Johnson might slide a bit further

 

[RainMachine]

Sheldrick along with the inevitable Angus Anderson pick gives us a bit of flexibility to look at other needs tonight. Interesting to see what we can do. Hopefully snag a Bazzo

Not sure Motlop suits at all

What time does Day 2 start?

Same time

 

[SwansProudly]

7PM but hopefully without the 30 minutes preamble of waffle.

 

[Bandicoot]

Knightmare rated him 11 in his power rankings.

Fair enough

Sheldrick plus Anderson is plenty inside. For sure we will go outside x 2 or Outside plus KPD. Warner definitely outside.

 

[Bandicoot]

Talks about him here. Liking what he says too.

After listening to that, I'm no longer as disappointed as I was.
I certainly wasn't aware that Johnson had stated that he would go home after two years.

Funny joke. There will still be 30 mins of rubbish

Can see us going a difference mid next pick, then a bit of a Hail Mary at the 39

 

[ShireSwan]

Thanks a lot for the link and the time stamps. Loved how clean he was in the clearance, seems to know where to be and the speed to go at in those packs.

That thread contains the disgusting allegation he is(was) a Hawks supporter.
Should the club appoint an investigator?

 

[GoodesStuff]

hmmm

I had a look at Draft Central's top 40 power rankings. Of those players there seems to be about 18 (non aligned) players still available that were in their top 40.

2021 Rookie Me Central Power Rankings: November

Sonsie
Draper
Johnson
Goater
Butler
Knevett
Taylor
Roberts - inside mid
Motlop - small forward
Howes - wing
Williams - key forward
Conway - ruck
Clarke - small forward
Bazzo - defender
Macdonald - inside mid
Warner - mid
Murley - mid,small forward
Rankin - small forward

Then had a look at Foxfooty's top 50 power rankings. And there was another 11 non aligned players in addition to the ones already mentioned. Though there would also be players like Dittmar who did make either list who might also be in contention.

The Errol Gulden of this draft is still available. Trade up please Swans!

hmmm

If true perhaps they did us a favour.
Personally see a midfield bull as a greater need than a medium defender.

That may have been a blessing in disguise, then.

I'd have hoped we didn't just see him as a half back long term, write-ups suggested wing/outside potential as well. Another of these types would be great to add to a rotation of JMac, Lloyd, Blakey, Campbell etc off half back or on the wing (since we lost Dawson). Was keener on Chesser or Wilmot though (seemed to have more range), Brown wasn't particularly exciting. Anyway, I hope we'll just target an outside/winger (or hybrid like Warner) and a KPD with our two ND picks tonight.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Not according to several draft sites. They gave Anderson a pretty good wrap. His numbers are impressive and he rarely wastes the ball. He is also home town talent unlike the others who might get 'Dawson Disease'. So I would not miss out on Anderson under any circumstances.

On JAT-L29 using BigFooty.com mobile app

He is hardly "home town", Sawtell is closer to Brisbane than Sydney and he has no allegiance to the Swans, family are massive Richmond fans.

Won't shy away that only Chesser really appealed to me of the ones there, with Port taking my number 1 one on my list (of realistic options).

In terms of tonight I'm not fussed if we don't add a KPD actually with Paddy McCartin coming in as a free pick.

I'd like a speedy wingman as one pick and then best available or take a Hail Mary on the other one. We can afford to be bold at one of these picks. We sort of took the safe, brute inside mid last night.

 

[caesar88]

Enjoyed reading the West Coast boards melts, but they have got a gun player. Chesser will be a great pick up for them and a logical heir to Yeo.

It is some epic melting, but only goes to show the insular nature of Eagles fans. Chesser isn’t a mid from WA, so must be a dud pick.

PS: yes, I’m still happy as the proverbial Larry.
