Rachele seems to be very highly rated..he close to your top 3?

There's probably a dozen not too far behind those 3, Tyler Sonsie would be next especially if he puts on a bit more height.
From my very limited knowledge ( I really only closely follow the SA kids and even then mainly the ones who get to SANFL level or are involved in School footy either for or against Rossies), Should we finish bottom 4 or 5 next year, I think we are still a really good chance to snare Horne. Like you say there appear to be a number of highly rated Vic kids that will help us as they may all be of a similar level to Horne once exposed footy comes into play next year which could make trading up or Horne slipping a possibility.

I think if we could somehow get Horne with who we have taken this year and then grab a couple of good kids in the 2nd round and 1 or 2 of our NGA kids if they come on like we all hope, we should have that elite mid + real depth across the board in midfield, up front and down back to build our next premiership side with (fingers crossed).

Geeze... the carcass of the 2020 draft hasn't even gone cold yet and we're onto 2021 :grin:

They've been drafted, the numbers don't matter now.

Although anything to do with the AFL being described as a carcass is apt.

100% agree - these are the 3 at this stage who would suit our needs the best from what I have seen of them.

Assuming we finish somewhere in the bottom 6 which seems unavoidable, the other 3 I think would be in contention for us would be:

4) Tyler Sonsie
Midfielder
181cm/73kg
Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro

5) Arlo Draper
Midfielder
185cm/71kg
South Adelaide/South Australia

6) Jacob van Rooyen
Key forward
194cm/88kg
Claremont/Western Australia


It’s a mouth watering Top 10 or so though next year (Daicos, Roberts and Rachele all in amongst it too), so it’s gonna be hard to miss a gun really.


Side note: it’s amazing to think that 3 South Adelaide lads might all go top 10 next year, including Horne as the current favourite to go Pick 1. That’s on the back of the Panthers being pillaged in this year’s draft, with all of Cook (us), Spicer (Roos), McCreery (Pies), Highmore (Saints) being taken. Says a lot for the Panthers development program.

Given the basketcase that has been over the years, whoever has turned it around deserves huge credit.

I think there is Horne next year and possibly Will Verrall the year after that will be very high draft picks.

So when the dust settled on the 2020 AFL National draft despite no football played in Victoria due to that State's poor handling of the Covid-19 pandemic/quarantine Victoria still produced 62.5% of 1st round picks 15/24.

And all up 51% of the total players drafted in the 2020 AFL National draft. 30/59.

Mutineer how good are our NGA players? Are we likely to be screwed and they make it to the first round
No 1st rounders unless someone jumps out of the ground IMO. Dudley and O'Louglin plenty of talent but very small by current AFL standards so doubtful they would be in consideration at the pointy end..

Tall athletic indigenous Ruck/Forward Isaac Keeler from Port Augusta shapes like he might be a chance to go high in 2022 if he keeps developing with his current rate of improvement.
