Well, 2020* was hardly a year for draftee development especially for KPD so McAsey is a year behind development compared to Weitering and he did go pick 1 compared to pick 6 which is a massive difference.Unfortunately I'm afraid I'm not seeing too many similarities at all between Weitering and McAsey from their 1st season onwards in their AFL careers.
Only real blip in Weitering's career was when laughing boy Bolton tried to make him a forward.

Weitering actually received a Rising Star nomination in his first season after a 26 disposal 9 mark round 3 game and finished 3rd over all in the 2016 voting.

Lachie Whitfield at the same age perhaps?Player comparison in style - Seedsman ?
Give me Arlo, seems to have more outlier athletic traitsIf you had a pick in the teens and both Arlo and Hugh Jackson were available who would you pick?
Don't forget we bottomed out the year GWS got the first 10 picks as well, we should have had pick 4, ended up with pick 10 for Luke Brown I think (with Brad for Davis deal).why is it that the years we have a high draft pick, the top player or couple of players are f***ing Academy, then when they change the rule, they are father son (not even academy) so they are still going to be off limits.
In any normal year, with pick 3 say, a side could take one of Horne, Daicos or Darcy (Knightmare is absolutely huge on him and thinks he is likely the new no 1 player now)..but even if you had pick 2, there is every chance you miss out on all 3. just our f***ing luck

I thought the same thing in 2018 & 2019.Developing nicely IMO not that I'd want him to be in and under, he's the receiver you want the ball in the hand of delivering forward.
We'd have to fu** up big time not to get a good mid with our 1st pick in this draft.

past history suggests that we could mess this up again. Although whilst I have been critical of Ned and Jones I have seen areas where both these guys are developing. Jones is improving on the back lines and Ned although small looks like he is getting muscle into his arms. I wouldn't be throwing these two out just yet.
People writing off McAsey just need to go back and look at Weitering as to why you just need to give KPPs time.Just putting this out there, but if McAsey comes on like Weitering has, Thilthorpe continues to be a jet and we nail this very heavily stacked midfield draft, we are going to look like absolute geniuses...
Agreed.McAsey also had zero pre-season and struggled badly in the time trial.
Put him well behind the pack from the start of the season. Let's see how he goes next year
Correct, no development in 2020* and then major family scare end of 2020* and during COVID-19.McAsey also had zero pre-season and struggled badly in the time trial.

You've got it all wrong. It's homesickness and "poor fella" when they are Victorian.I wonder if Horne could develop the same "future home sickness" issues as Bailey Smith and Archie Perkins ahead of the draft....I mean, that totally isnt draft tampering is it now? He just isn't ready for that stage in his life right?![]()
It only takes a few poor performances in the championships and a few other to rise and who knows what will happen.We shouldn't have access to Horne unless we win the spoon. He would be perfect for North, dynamic and powerful to compliment Powell and Phillips. They would be insane to pass over him.
More realistically, Roberts/Hobbs/Chesser/Draper, would be happy with any of those with our first pick
Wingard did this......I wonder if Horne could develop the same "future home sickness" issues as Bailey Smith and Archie Perkins ahead of the draft....I mean, that totally isnt draft tampering is it now? He just isn't ready for that stage in his life right?![]()

It's draft tampering when they are from SA.
I think M Crouch is North territory’Draft & trade hypothetical
Assuming we finish 16th and NM 18th would the following trade have merit for both parties…?
ADL give up pick #3 AND Doedee
NM give up pick #1
I think this is the the type of offer which would at least make North sit up and think and if your visceral reaction is to wince at the thought of losing Doedee then that probably shows it’s close to the mark.
Got to give up quality to get quality.
