List Mgmt. 2021 Draft Prospects

[The Inbetweener]

Can't we just take Raak as a Cat B now he has dropped through the draft?

Stagg won the SANFL's U18 b&f so not exactly a few huge games he was pretty consistent with them.

Yes we can re Raak.

 

[ossie_21]

I guess the ideal scenario is that Dean slides to our rookie pick and we also add Raak as a cat-B rookie?

 

[ossie_21]

Drafting for needs for effectively the end of the draft is entirely stupid. Statistically speaking these kids making any long-term impact at AFL level is remote. Drafting for position just makes that remote chance even more remote.

I get your point, but most people say at the top end you take best available.

KPD is a gaping deficiency in our list. If we don’t try to trade for it and we don’t have much to develop with, at what point do we address it? Or just go with what we’ve got and hope for the best?

Keath is already going to be 30 next season and when injuries hit we suffered, it can’t surely hurt to have KPD/ruck projects in the pipeline instead of carrying (no offence to) vanilla players like Hayes, Cavarra, Butler etc

 

[Northernsoul74]

There’s nothing to suggest we are interested in Dean whereas Stagg and Mitch Cox have been linked.

 

[Ash1337]

Pretty sure after upgrades it's 2 rookie spots & 1 cat b.

 

[willofwest]

Theoretically we could pick up both the Schlong and Dean. But we won't.

What do you know Dergert that we don’t?

 

[Smiley Boy]

What happens if Keath does his knee round one?

 

[Doggy]

What happens if Keath does his knee round one?

Season over

 

[Smiley Boy]

Season over

Just makes no sense why we wouldn't take the punt on Charlie Dean...

 

[Doggy]

Just makes no sense why we wouldn't take the punt on Charlie Dean...

He won't be around at pick 17 either

We got cut apart in the GF down back, and having reliable KPD with our list I would of thought of been a priority.

 

[weltschmerz]

I figure we’re really backing in Schache.

 

[Cudi]

Isn't Cleary pretty much the same player as Raak?

Means we are unlikely to pick Raak up now??

 

[Mofra]

What happens if Keath does his knee round one?

Sam Darcy wins the rising star award

 

[Mofra]

Just makes no sense why we wouldn't take the punt on Charlie Dean...

I'm holding fire until after the rookie draft. We have at least one live pick

 

[Doggy]

Thought we had 2

 

[Ash1337]

Jones is #1. plays like Brad Hill the commentators say.

 

[dergert]

I thought we had a couple.

I can't keep up.

 

[DognBones]

It appears from the outside that pick 61 would have been sufficient for Jones or perhaps even a rookie spot. Our recruiters must have had wind that other clubs were interested and might have beaten us to the punch. Hopefully, we haven't paid overs but we should have faith in Power and Co to know what they're doing.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Must be a dogs policy to draft 1 general defender every year.

We're still in love with Dale Morris, been trying to fill that whole in our lives since he left

 

[CaptainMurphy]

The rookie upgrades are done tonight, should be done by now - anyone know who we upgraded?

'I'm really, really determined to prove you wrong': Cody Raak turning AFL Draft disappointment into opportunity

Through six lockdowns and draft heartbreak Cody Raak has persevered, determined to prove one AFL club in particular wrong come November.

I hope we didn't leave this kid undrafted again

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

Jones is #1. plays like Brad Hill the commentators say.

I think the only time he stopped moving was when he was on the bench

 

[Oliver G]

For those interested here are the underage career summaries for our draftees...

Sam Darcy


Arthur Jones


Luke Cleary

 

[The Inbetweener]

it was great in the Dalrymple years not having to worry at all about who we drafted given his track record. Nick Austin also had a pretty good eye. Dom Milesi’s drafting at the Pies wasn’t overly inspiring, but need to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

On the surface Jones and Cleary look like good picks. But like everyone else, it’s quite concerning our key defensive issues haven’t been addressed.
