Spoiler: Lore's 2021 Draft Order

 

[giantroo]

Collingwood-bound father-son prospect Nick Daicos says he is "disappointed" he wasn't asked for an interview by the GWS Giants ahead of Wednesday's AFL Draft.

Despite being touted as one of the top prospects in this year's draft crop, Daicos won't be bid on with the opening pick, with North Melbourne all but certain to select South Australia's Jason Horne-Francis.

Daicos said he'd had a Zoom meeting with the Kangaroos but was left confused with the radio silence from the GWS Giants camp.

What's this based on with Motlop? Haven't seen any knock on his character.

Probably every other Motlop we have recruited. I don't like to judge people based on what others have done... but I do have some irrational apprehension when it comes to a future Motlop.

Fair to say he's not a regular Motlop.

This Motlop bashing sounds a lot like when we laughed at Richmond for "reaching" for Dan Rioli in 2015.

He's been a key cog in their team since and stood up in finals. Been a fair player if you ask me and no reason why Motlop can't do the same.

Sadly, it comes with the territory, the name sometimes carries either weight or baggage that the player doesn't deserve.

He has had some really good finals performances but last year he played 18 games, kicked 12 goals, 3 goal assists, this year 18 games, 9 goals and 4 goal assists, doesn't get much of the ball. People wanted to delist Turner when he was getting better numbers as a small forward.

One those numbers, no thanks.

It is weird not to talk to a player, but I can understand a club not talking to a father-son player, it is effectively a waste of time.

 

[Wels Eicke]

Incorrect same comp as of last year

Jokes on me then.

Macpherson flattening is back on.

 

[Shinboner1]

Someone in the draft thread said we're heavy into dudley.
Watch this space I guess.
He seems very much a luff stats pick; shown some good signs at juniors level and has really fallen off draft boards.
I guess we might take a tall at 20 or trade back and don't expect any of the conventional smalls to be available at our picks after.

Hehe, that was Rioli's last two years. I don't have any info on the new Motlop.

 

[Reginald0]

just need to keep ramping the skills up

the kicking out of the backline has been just horrifically unreliable for a few years now
Hall Turner LMac JZ, let alone the big blokes
All prone to appalling errors under pressure, or not to be honest

would love to see quality kicks come in,
Maybe a Brown as sounds like Fahey won’t happen

 

[Horace]

He's no Cyril, I know that. But a lot on here were critical of the Tigers picking him at pick 15 but 6 years later, I think the Tigers win.

He did kick 4 in that prelim against GWS to start the dynasty in '17. If we take Motlop and he does that in 2023, oh boy!

I think his father's demeanour and effort at times, might be why a few of us are a bit turned off. If it was Shannon's son then I'd have no concerns.

Probably unfair on the young bloke and all reports say he is a good kid.

 

[tales129]

Remember when everyone was convinced we’d take Hollands?

Motlop feels a bit like a red herring to get someone to reach before us so someone can slide

2 outlets have us taking him. Starting to get Tommy Powell vibes where he was a being linked to North about this time last year in phantoms.

There's been a couple of GWS links as well before us.

They talk to recruiters and get some inside info. So it’s not where they rate them but where they believe they’ll go.

Lovely kick.

Edit. Thought you meant Thompson. I don’t remember Spud being that great of a kick.

Spud was a great long kick coming out of the backline, wouldn't say he was great general field kick.
