Does Ward ever kick the ball more than 40m because all the highlights show him chipping it 20-30m forward and sideways. Does this type of player translate well to AFL. For an early first rounder he seems a bit limited. Hobbs a little better in that regard. They remind me of Jack Viney, which is okay I guess, pretty safe but not going to break games open. Would prefer a higher ceiling player. Anyone watch any games he has played, am I wrong.
Hobbs can push forward and is a strong tackler. Will be a much better version of Jack Graham.
 
I want the next Dustin Martin at 7, the next Jack Reiwoldt at 15, the next Shane Edwards at 26, the next Bachar Houli at 27 and the next Alex Rance at 28… should be easy for a half decent football department 👍

Zac Taylor
Calder Cannons/Vic Metro
Balanced midfielder, 180cm, 74kg
Clubs who could suit:
Hawthorn, Richmond, Geelong, Melbourne

Taylor is composed under pressure, agile on his feet and has brilliant hands at stoppages. But what separates him from the other midfielders in the first-round mix is his kicking. Taylor rarely wastes the ball by foot and makes great decisions going inside-50 – and we all know clubs love the money kick. As he showed late in the NAB League, the ball is in his hands a lot, too, with Taylor finishing the season with disposal tallies of 32, 34 and 37, while also recording 22 disposals and five inside-50s for Vic Metro in July.

THE STAT: Highlighting his ability to find a teammate in the forward half, Taylor recorded nine score assists in his final four matches. His average of 1.6 for the year rated elite as a midfielder.

@15 plz Tigers
Really hope he is a tiger next year

If those 20 /30 meter kicks hit the target most of the time
Can't see it being a problem
 
100% …says a lot about the filth who were prepared to keep this sort of trash yet willingly gets rid of Treloar who was very much devoted to his wife and is a known family man
Actually feel sorry for treloar getting pushed out when they have an idiot like degoey taking huge money

Players like Stack make 60-70m when they get the ball and hits targets. Bolton much the same although a bit less precise. Short kicking sideways players do not play at Richmond. Lambert would be the closest but he is generally hitting the ball at speed moving forward. Ward has good hands for sure, but you'd like good kicking as well.
 
Do you think Amiss would be a good pick for the Tigers at 9?
Can't make a judgment there as I have never seen him play or even looked at any highlights. Some saying highly skilled but he struggles to kick over 40 metres is concerning imo. I have the Schache concerns so mid teens, or pass, as an uniformed guess. Playing vs kids in WA pristine conditions and staying within 40m of goal perhaps padding his ranking. But better informed might see an ability to develop him well.

Again, that's all from limited 'net info'!

You clearly haven't watched him.

Is very much a run and link player who at his peak should resemble elements of Dylan Shiel game.

Cats do it all the time.
Works in the months April to August.
Not so good in Sept.

No next Trent Cotchin?

Im sure he is more than capable of kicking further than 30 meters

The "experts" consider Amiss top 10. Will he be elite at AFL level? Who knows? But that's every draftee. What he does have is some great attributes that should immediately translate to AFL level, being an elite finisher for goals. It's not just drop punt set shots, there's vision of him kicking bananas from the boundary. He's also extremely consistent and productive, kicking multiple goals in just about every game, very good on the lead and easily gets separation. Think Matthew Lloyd type leading forward as a player type comparison.

Erasmus isn't a project player? Not sure where you read that.
He has captained a junior side, kicked 4 goals in the Colts 2020 GF. His last 4 WAFL Colts game he's had 27, 28, 29, 28 disposals with 7, 5, 2, 2 tackles so he's fairly well rounded and ready to go. Already 188/80 size and ability to go forward as well, he might even impact somewhat early with a bit more development in his AFL preseason.

I am high on Erasmus and reckon live pick seven looks a pretty good spot with access to - Andrew. Erasmus. Gibcus. Ward. Hobbs.

Assuming tigers keep the pick.

Callaghan sounds next level

Rachelle not sure about but seems to have a lot of potential

I'm almost more interested at what happens at 15. The tigers second pick. Johnson. Goater. Amiss. Sinn. Draper etc

My biggest concern if we don't trade up is that the first 8 players taken are Horne-Francis, Daicos, Darcy, Callaghan, Gibcus, Rachelle, Hobbs and Ward (not neccessarily in that order).

Would leave us to either take the risk on Andrew, or pick a player from that next tier (Erasmus, Johnson, Goater, Amiss).

1. (1.2) Nick Daicos (2, 1, 1, 2, 1)
2. (1.6) Jason Horne-Francis (1, 2, 2, 1, 2)
3. (3.0) Sam Darcy (3, 3, 3, 3, 3)
4. (4.0) Finn Callaghan (4, 4, 4, 4, 4)
5. (7.6) Josh Ward (5, 6, 7, 11, 9)
6. (8.0) Neil Erasmus (6, 10, 6, 7, 11)
7. (8.8) Ben Hobbs (18, 5, 5, 10, 6)
8. (11.6) Josh Gibcus (20, 7, 20, 6, 5)
9. (11.8) Josh Sinn (NA, 15, 15, 7, 10)
10. (12.5) Josh Goater (NA, 18, 8, 8, 17)
11 (13.0) Arlo Draper (12, 12, NA, 12, 16)
12. (13.8) Matthew Johnson (8, 13, 14, 19, 15)
13 (14.8) Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (16, 14, 12, 14, 18)
14. (15.2) Matthew Roberts (7, 17, 13, 20, 19)
15. (15.6) Josh Rachele (15, 9, 16, 18, 20)

and now the people who were in 3 top the top 20's

16. (8.3) Mac Andrew (10, 8, NA, NA, 7)
17 (11.6) Tyler Sonsie (NA, 16, NA, 5, 14)
18. (15.3) Campbell Chesser (NA, 20, NA, 13, 13)

now the people who were in 2 of the top 20's

19. (9.0) Josh Fahey (NA, NA, 10, 17, NA)
20. (14.0) Darcy Wilmot (NA, NA, NA, 16, 12)
21. (17.5) Mitch Knevitt (17, NA, 18, NA, NA)

Yes pick 15 for Tigers is like the cream and jam for the scones( pick7). They need to compliment each other. Funny we maybe a little disappointed with what happens with pick 7 however bounce back and grab a slider at 15. Let’s hope so
