Hey guys, scuse the intrusion. Thought you might like to have this resource on your board (mods might like to sticky):

 
10 young stars are polarising AFL club recruiters. These are their wide draft ranges:

Josh Sinn (Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro)

Stealing is a sin, but Sinn could be the steal of this year’s draft, should he slip to the latter stages of the first round. A genuine line-breaker with explosive leg speed and run and carry ability, Sinn is one of the most exciting first-round prospects. But after entering the year as a top-five contender, he endured a frustrating, injury-interrupted season, averaging just 17.6 disposals at NAB League level. One aspect recruiters believe Sinn needs to work on is his ability to play at different tempos in-game. But once fit at AFL level, the 186cm prospect could become one of the most eye-catching players in the game.

Draft Range: 10-20

Matthew Johnson (Subiaco/WA)

The tall midfielder (192cm) couldn’t have done much more across the final month of his 2021 campaign to boost his prospects. After averaging 25 disposals from his final three WAFL reserves games, Johnson was named WA’s best player in the AFL Grand Final curtain-raiser clash against SA. A few weeks later at the draft combine, he placed third nationally in the agility test, sixth in the standing vertical jump and seventh in the running vertical jump while also running the 20m sprint in under three seconds.

Draft Range: 8-20

Josh Goater (Calder Cannons/Vic Metro)


An athletic and powerful 190cm on-baller with explosiveness and clean hands, Goater looms as a fan favourite at AFL level, no matter which club picks him up. Goater is strong at the contest yet just as capable on the outside, highlighted by his strong finish to the NAB League season where he played – and impressed – as an intercept defender, averaging 30.5 disposals, 4.0 intercept marks and 8.5 intercept possessions from his final two games. With so much upside, Goater is a player that could be on the cusp of the top 10 – the Dockers and Eagles might look at him, considering his dad David was from WA and played WAFL footy for East Perth – or the end of the first round come draft night.

Draft Range: 8-20


Mitch Knevitt (Geelong Falcons/Vic Country)

There’s a lot of upside in Knevitt, which has seen him become an outside chance to be taken in this year’s first round. A tall inside midfielder at 194cm with a strong appetite to win contested ball, Knevitt won the Geelong Falcons’ best and fairest this year after averaging 24.3 touches from his nine NAB League games. His final three games were particularly eye-catching, averaging 30.3 disposals, 6.6 tackles, 6.3 marks and 6.0 inside 50s. Knevitt does need to improve his kicking efficiency, though.

Draft Range: 20-35


Tyler Sonsie (Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro)

The 181cm on-baller possesses talent that warrants a top-five selection, but his inconsistency due to injury and lack of continuity this year has seen him slide down many club draft boards. A midfielder with a high footy IQ, strength at the contest, flair and class on the outside, Sonsie can swing the momentum of a match promptly. Some clubs, though, appear hesitant to use an early pick on him.

Draft Range: 10-30

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen rolled gold prospects like Sinn and Sonsie slide like this before. I don’t understand what has them so on the nose.

Sinn has a Nathan Freeman smell, super explosive type who has suffered a serious high grade hamstring injury this yr.Missed 10 wks with it I heard, may be ok in future but just a small risk factor for a top 8 pick.
 
If this kid has a half decent tank he's one hell of an athlete...

If you’d told me we might draft either when their seasons finished mid year I’d have bitten your hand off.

Going to be fascinating to see who we pick, a wing type in Sinn/Wanganeen Milera, a tall explosive mid in Goater/Johnson or a fwd/mid in Sonsie/Draper. You could argue we need all those types with Amon, Duursma, Butters & Rozee primed for midfield time along with Motlop/Gray likely to be in their final year.

Bella, Flockhart, Polson, Visenti and Voss sounds like interesting late picks options.

Voss looks like a good option for us late in the draft, GWS not going to take him as a NGA pick and would fit well into our backline as a young tall defender. Collingwood also has chosen not to take Dib as a NGA player, and might be a player we look to take as a young small forward late in the draft
 
Think I read CDs comments as we get an inside player ie. Dumont as a DFA we pick up an outside player ie. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera at 12?

We don't pick up Dumont we grab an inside mid at 12?

I seriously think if Charlie dean gets through to a late pick we should nab him
He’s still young but wouldn’t really call him a project player as he’s already played on some big names in the vfl. Would rather grab him as he could possibly come in if need be then an 18 year old that might take years
