2021 Draft and Trade thread

[Viceregal]

It depends on highly likely of Us dropping off Collingwood only just made the 8 last year sure no one saw Collingwood dropping off as much as they have this season but looking at what Port Adelaide did in getting 3 highly rated players in I’d be willing to pay up when we’re guaranteed a highly rated Father/son next year

Has Ashcroft said he was going the father son route with us or is that something we are hoping for / assuming?

 

[briztoon]

Looking at the draft could we target another first round pick this year considering that our first next year will be swallowed up on any Will Ashcroft bid someone like the Bulldogs with them having a likely top 5 pick with Darcy

You think Darcy will be bid on the top 5?

 

[bungalow_bill]

With Ashcroft a potential pick 1 we need to keep the 2022 first to make up the required points. Can always trade it then if it's not needed

Yeah I see Darcy as the best tall in this years draft Cal Twomey also mentioned him as likely top 5 pick in he’s last road to the draft podcast

I'd expect it until I hear otherwise. It's still incredibly unusual for a father/son to decline the opportunity.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I have already pencilled Will Ashcroft in for a minimum of three Ashcroft medals.

After being taken at pick 4 by Gold Coast!

It’s been a bit more common recently (Blakey, Dunkley to an extent) but at least he has lived in Qld recently and we should be able to sell team success.

Blakey was an Academy player for the Swans and was a life long supporter

Cal Twomey believes he’s a definite pick for Us next year has apparently supported the Lions most of he’s life he could do a Marc Murphy but seems unlikely with the club to sell him a bright future

I haven't watched a lot of Will Ashcroft play in the Underage levels tbh but given he is most likely going to be picked by us next year as a 1st rounder you would think (injury/form permitted), what position/s does he generally play on the field (I think I heard he is a midfielder but not sure) and who would he most likely replace in the Best 22 of our team right now, in the long-term future for us (Zorko, Robinson, Lyons, McCarthy, etc)?

Will plays inside midfielder with he’s contested ball winning and electric pace from stoppages I feel a midfield of McCluggage Bailey and Ashcroft will be fantastic for our long term future as for who he replaces that’s up to how Fagan sees our lineup in a couple of years

McCluggage Bailey Ashcroft Rayner Robertson

Ashcroft sounds like a long term replacement for Zorko but hopefully the two can play together for a year or two

I don't count Blakey because he essentially had a choice between prelisting options, so potentially twice this century when there's multiple father/sons taken most years easily qualifies as "incredibly unusual" in my book.

Not so sure consistent contested ball winning would be a strength of his yet, he's looked capable against smaller midfielders but not necessarily great against similar sized or bigger guys

I’ve lost the thread of the conversation. Does Bailey Scott have any relevance to it?

Outside midfield with the speed and class. Should compliment inside ball winners.

McCluggage Bailey Ashcroft Rayner Robertson

I believe Bailey is more like Zorko’s replacement.

Ashcroft wears #17.

Don’t forget the 3 Premierships.

Who do you think Ashcroft plays like in the AFL?

Boo, come on be brave and have a crack. Do a KM, “He plays like a combo of Judd, Ablett and Voss” next minute goes pick 37.

Cheers on the videos, wish Giant Roo was still able to make his videos.
