Analysis 2021 draft thread

[mattsmob]

Ah well. In the 40s, I don't mind a high risk upside player...

We'll see. Commentary saying that his development in the 2nd half of the season was quite good...

Is he high upside though?

 

[briztoon]

Ahhh….who?

 

[SizeMatters]

All of Canberra? yeah mate... funny.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

The club picked player X and they should have picked player Y. And now my toys are out of my cot on the floor.

On a more serious note, welcome Jimmy T.

Toumpas?

Look if we rated Howes at 16 as per earlier comments and we didn't try get the pick from Adelaide... that's not a good outcome.

Only thing I would say is Mick Ablett certainly didn’t talk him up as a future Brownlow medallist like he did the 21 picks that preceded him.

Definitely lost the draft…

 

[pulpdriver]

Feels like whoever gets Draper and Zac Taylor are gonna get bargains though I guess you don't slide this far without having some question marks.

 

[trikster]

one thing is for sure, Conole has backed himself and his team in with our picks 2 and 3 .... can't wait to see how it turns out in a few years time

 

[Hollow Knight]

Dogs just took someone who doesn’t even have a rating. Shows that the armchair pundits don’t really have a clue at this point of the draft.

It goes both ways, lets just wait a couple years and both parties could be wrong.

Which draft picks are we giving up, given we'll likely need enough to match two father-son picks next year?

Lions Land James Tunstill With Final Pick

Western Australian James Tunstill is as dedicated as they come.

It may be boring but I'm genuinely looking forward to just knowing who we will be drafting next year.

 

[KissKiss]

Interesting profile. Seems like a decently rounded mid who just needs some gym and endurance work.

Still a surprise to go a mid there after the talk of not needing inside mids

Check out WAFL Colts Grand Final ........ not hard to see why someone would take a punt here.

Yeah but I don't think the Dogs care about picks at this level. They just need a placeholder for two years until they pick up their next top 3 F&S or NGA.

 

[BuntonRules]

so weird seeing brad scott in a suit working for city hall and not coaching

On the gravy train.

There is only so many times you can go out of the box and win ! Why not zac Taylor as an example or Draper

 

[Cubs2Lions]

It may be boring but I'm genuinely looking forward to just knowing who we will be drafting next year.

Most likely we'll be probably drafting Will Ashcroft (midfielder) & Jaspa Fletcher (wing) as father/son & academy selections early on, then maybe just drafting a KPP (preferably KPD) later on with our picks/selections of next year's draft for us.

This is my issue, if we're happy to draft another mid then why put need over talent last night?

[mattsmob]

Also Fox comparing Draper to Lyons is laughable.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I think history shows that sliders at this point are just as much of a raffle as the bolters in terms of forging an AFL career.

 

[blueiris]

Waiting to see how Conole rated this draft he did say we were looking at depth in all 3 areas which we’ve done
