Player Watch 2021 AFL National Draft - NOT FOR TRADE DISCUSSION

[Strapping Young Lad]

Let’s stick with a basic rule for this thread, that it’s for draft watch and discussion only.

It’s not for trade hypotheticals, who you think needs to be delisted or traded, how many games you think we will win, some other team will win, how many picks you want in the 1st round or discussion of current HFC players.

It’s about youngsters who are eligible for the draft in 2021.


Key dates to look out for:

• NAB AFL Draft Combine: TBC
• NAB AFL Draft: Wednesday November 24 - Thursday November 25
• NAB AFL Pre-season and Rookie Drafts: Friday November 26

Callaghan it is.

I still am not willing to underestimate North’s ability to North on draft night...

I have posted this before, but there's a belief amongst some AFL scouts that North will take Callaghan.

It is a lotery
Rowell or Anderson ????

I'm all in on Callaghan. As (potentially) good as a position the spoon would put us in, I just don't want to see Clarko go out like that.

Scared of Horne leaving?

 

[matey]

Culture ...... we get who we get!

 

[Burtman]

Scared of Horne leaving?

I’d imagine more that he provides a point of difference to their midfield group. Hornes very similar to their other mids

 

[KingCantona]

The HawtHorne dream is dead, now onto the GOAT.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Scared of Horne leaving?

Maybe, but I'd suggest Burtman is correct in that they may need someone who plays that outside/wing role.

Does that mean they have given up on Josh Kelly?

Let's get mac Andrew could be our nick cox for the 1st couple years.

I wouldn't think so.

Yeh I don't care if we miss Horne or callaghan. The two blokes with serious top line upside are Andrew and Goater. Happy to swing for the fences with our early pick

Disagree, Callaghan has arguably the best upside in this draft, his ability in traffic is matched by no one and no one is close. His height, speed and agility to go with his versatility and kicking he's my favourite.

I'm not disagreeing , but curious how many live games you have seen of him to make that call.

Someone please tell me the likely top 5 are evenly matched so I can barrack with abandon for the rest of the season.

I haven't went to a live game but know people who do (cause i don't live in Vic) but i've watched alot of his games both this year and when he played HB, he's special.

Not really worried about whether we get Horne or Callaghan.
They're both going to become top players.

Barrack away. From what I have read there is a definite tier 1 i.e. daicos, Darcy and Horne and a tier 2 where callaghan seems to be at the top of the list, but there are a heap of good prospects in that 4-10 range. We will end up with a good player. Players like Andrew, Sinn, Roberts, Erasmus, Goater, sonsie, ward all have good wraps and interesting qualities.

Ben Hobbs hasn't missed a beat since coming back from injury , another 34 and 1.2 on top of his impressive trial game.

Sounds top 5 to me.
