List Mgmt. 2021 draft pool.

Morning of draft and my final prediction and a very small inside mail:

7(9): Josh Gibcus DEF- 196cm 87kg GWV Rebals

(Bid on Josh Fahey)
15(17): Tyler Sonsie MID/FWD- 181cm 79kg Eastern Rangers

26: Sam Butler MID- 184cm 76kg GWV Rebals

27: Jack Williams FWD/RUCK- 196cm 94kg East Fremantle

28: Jake Soligo MID- 180cm 80kg Eastern Rangers

Personally I’d be very excited with this haul, two KP in Gibcus and Williams. Gibcus is one of the best athletic intercept key defender in the last few drafts and is a huge addition to a club that will be to afford him the best development in one of the best backlines in the AFL. He may only play 4-5 games next year but this kid will be the pillar of the clubs defence over the next decade. Williams a brute of a lad and has fantastic hands on the lead and will be nice replacement of CCJ.

Sonsie and Soligo are good mates and both offer speed, skill and exceptional skill on either side of their body. Both are very capable of going forward and providing a goal or two and Soligo in particular is a tenacious tackler. Sonsie at his best is a top 5 pick and consistency can be an issue he will be a huge talent for the tigers as he develops.

Butler is a courageous mid that can find his own footy in the clinches and also use it very smartly. Strong around contests and will be a Smokey to play a lot of senior footy in his first season.

Bit of talk about Sonsie with our second pick - if he gets through to us, I'm tipping he'd be looked back as a steal. He has all the ingredients to be a top-liner and was touted as being taken at number 1 before the season started. The only real reason is not up there in top 5 discussion is only due to lack of game time (injury and covid)

Check his highlights video out. Whilst I know it’s only that. It’s as good as most. Very exciting. All class

Reckon you can safely rule out Butler getting to our second rounders, if we wanted him we’d have to use 15(17) to get him or trade up to get another teens pick.

Tyler Sonsie is definitely not an unknown by any means. He has plenty of runs on the board and won the Vic metro mvp at under 16 level. Had an absolute blinder in his first VFL game and then had some injury issues which slowed his 2021 progress. If he was able to stay injury free this year he would have been a certainty to go at hawthorns pick 5.
If he slides to our 15 then tigers will be getting a steal.

I would agree. But that pick was more of a wish then anything. If he was available at 26 Tigers are falling over themselves to grab him.

Will be surprised if there’s any live trading within top 10, even though we are interested (with Adelaide) If we moved up we’d be interested in Rachele or Ward

This draft is tiered
Tier a Daicos and the SA kid
Tier b Darcy Callaghan
Tier c - 5-7 players

Bolter - Chessar (WCST)
Andrew - GCS

From that gleaned we are keen on Rachele

What's the inside mail part?
 
What happened to Draper? Seems to be the forgotten man/boy. Wasn’t even in foxfooties last top 50 ‘power rankings’ (even their list of players that were unlucky miss the top 50). Strange.

Hope we take Butler (after our first)
Amazing speed/ endurance combo and wins his own ball through the midfield and 2 way midfielder
Lamberts eventual replacement

We acquired pick 15 by trading out a first round pick last year.

I don't agree with trading out a first round pick 2 years running.

It doesn't say that, would trade it down for a pick in the late teens if we get adequate compo.
Would make sense if we were after Sonsie who is expected to still be available in the late teens.

Hopefully we use it on a slider instead of trading down.
