Game Day 2021 AFL Draft

[hairy biker]

OK bring it on, I'm set to go, even got my reaction gifs ready to roll;

 

[RUNVS]

I think that we will use our first pick on one of these:

Tyler Sonsie
Campbell Chesser
Zac Taylor
Jacob Van Rooyen
Neil Erasmus
Josh Goater
Darcy Wilmott
Tom Brown
Josh Sinn
Matt Johnson
Sam Butler
Blake Howes
Mitch Knevitt
Toby Conway
Arlo Draper
Josh Fahey
Mitch Owens

Big call I know.

I would be laughing my arse off if we end up picking a player not on that list.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Our hit-rate on WA draftees is huge*.

Get Erasmus. And Bazzo. And Sheldrick. And Warner.

* please just pretend Elijah never happened.

And also Tom Mitchell, Harry Marsh, Jordan Lockyer

Speaking of, random anecdote, but I met Lockyer at uni once and we literally had a 20 minute chat about footy. He mentioned he fell out of contact with nearly all of the Swans boys once his time at the club was over, and said it happens quite often. Said that the bonds the players make as teammates is a weird one as in nearly all cases it's sort of a co-dependent product of the environment they're in, and once they're all out of it they realise they don't have much in common and aren't types who would be mates or even guys they'd like in their normal walks of life.

He was just a really friendly bloke and an open book. Seemed pretty chuffed to have someone recognise him too.

I assumed clubs had to bid on rookies too and we can match with our next pick. At least at some point if they survived the ND, we could just select them as Cat B rookies. Trying to find any actual detail on the pass/end of draft, or rookie draft is good fun...

I think there's going to be limited clubs taking players after 70, even when it moves.

Either way I don't want us to use ~39 on Anderson on the off chance someone bids after our last pick. Unless we're hiding something, there'll be others that are probably better options.

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.

I don't want Brisbane to get Wilmot before us.

I do! They are welcome to take him

 

[Ticky009]

 

[Bandicoot]

Eagles grabbing Chesser.

I just can't see the Eagles passing up on Erasmus.

 

[Ticky009]

I just can't see the Eagles passing up on Erasmus.

Probably why they're after Richmond's pick.

 

[RUNVS]

Would rather save our picks for next year given it will likely be a more known draft and also because we have academy players coming through that we need points for.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Twomey will be lucky to get 6 right

I’d give our future 1st if Gibcus is available at the Saints

Current mood - Larry David.

 

[caesar88]

How annoying that we only get to find out who we'll be delisting in 6 years tonight and have to wait until tomorrow to find out who our future All Australians will be

 

[RUNVS]

This time in one hour exactly Gil will be waffling.

Cue us reaching for Bazzo. It'll be a nice off season basking in picking up a KPD, going against people's interpretations of Kinnear's media statements. Then when it turns out he's not the next Rance, Teddy Richards or Craig Bolton, I'll wash my hands of the whole thing.

I don't think Bazzo is that good, it is just there are so few KPD's in this draft he has been elevated a bit.

I’d still rather it than a medium defender lol

 

[robbieando]

Didn't Brown play for the Bushrangers? From Mooroopna

Correct.

I'd be happy with Bazzo tbh. Like him from the things I've seen and heard.

They all focus more on the positives though. They still say, after saying a bunch of good things, like Draft Central / Rookie Me, that he's rated as a late pick or rookie selection. I'd be very surprised if he gets bid on before 39, so I think our first 3 picks are safe. Based on available info, even if he is homegrown, he's either a match with 70, a rookie pick and no earlier. I'd consider matching with 39 but only if the club feel like he's worth it vs who else they could get. Again I don't think another club would risk it.

Sounds like most of my school friends
