Game Day 2021 AFL Draft

[RUNVS]

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.

and Buddy stole his number.

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.

I'd be very surprised if a club nominated him prior to our third pick. But if we are that keen on him, I wouldn't be too concerned with taking him with our 4th selection.

Player not found

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

You'd have to do better than that!

For a slide? Think it’s about right

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.

Seems good at age level, just not sure his body will fill out to be at AFL level, and if it does, will be in 3 years, right around the time he wants to go back to Perth anyways.

I think he'll be fine. He's competed well against bigger opponents like JVR, so he has some talent in the role. A lot of our best KPDs over the years have been undersized both in height and bulk. Anyway, there's others I'd pick at 18, and we all know how much I want a KPD drafted. Think we're just going to miss out.

Why did they bother saying this would start at 630 if it starts at 730? Purely for ads on Fox? Idiots.

Bazzo is from Mandurah.

Nobody wants to go back to Mandurah.

I hate McLachlan. I hate these stupid pointless drawn out processes.

Just get on with it.

 

[SwansProudly]

Clock running and you don't know who is #1

Just get on with it.

I l9ve how they fill the airtime.

Let's not use it looking at vision of the player and strength and weakness analysis. Or list fit.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

“It is a great honour for North Melbourne to have the first pick in the NAB draft”

No it’s not.

It’s a reflection that they’re hopeless.

Don’t you know they are flying as a club

 

[BarneyBent]

Why does it take so ****ing long to put JHF's name in?

 

[Dan87]

Daicos not in the same conversation as Horne Francis when all is said and done is my hot take

Greenwood and JHF, another pre season into Will Phillips they're cooking for round 1

JHF 11 clearances 3. 3 SANFL prelim is super impressive

 

[Membling]

$$$$$.

Though you mightn't watch it, the NFL draft is exceptional for its coverage.

 

[momentbymoment]

Oh dear.
Did someone die?

 

[ShireSwan]

Pffft. He looks like Ronke to me.

This is an incredibly amateurish broadcast/production.
