Mega Thread 2021 Draft

[Lore]

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

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I haven’t seen him since but as a junior Dean was absolutely 194-195 so I’m not sure why you think it’s bull? Had long arms as well from memory.

I haven’t watched him since to know how he is tracking but I do like the idea of targeting key defenders with late picks / rookie picks.

The amount of key defenders that have been unearthed that way is pretty remarkable

He's listed as 195cm on Williamstown's player profiles. Won the fothergill medal. VFL team of the year. The wrap from his coach is massive. I know they can talk players up, but it's a big wrap.

VFL coach Justin Plapp praised Dean’s contribution throughout the 2021 season, highlighting him as one of the most impressive footballers in the Seagulls side.

"When you talk about someone who is striving to be the best he can and reach his goals, you talk about sacrifice, you talk about hard work and diligence around every part of his football," Plapp said. "I couldn't find a kid who has worked so hard in all those areas more than Charlie. For where he's going as a young man, I couldn't be more excited for him and more respectful of what he's put into his football.

"Everything about what your teammate needs from you as a player, he absolutely pushes that to the limit. He was able to be resilient, competitive when he needed to be and his desperate acts at times in games was a real highlight."

There was a midfielder who dominated for Subiaco in the wafl granny and throughout the season. About 24 years old. Not sure if anyone is keen but I'd assume he's a chance

Greg Clark? I think he's been on the cusp of drafted since his draft year.

Greg? Surely not. Nobody under the age of 25 is named Greg.

No wonder he hasn't been drafted. Needs to jazz his name up.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

This sa side is dreadful

 

[philthy05]

There’s so many players missing from the Sa side.

Though right now these Sa v wa matches have entirely re-affirmed my statements regarding roberts

he’s been the biggest Sa name by far in these games, and he’s a big ready made man mountain compared to most out there and he’s well underperformed.

the wa mids led by a bunch of players who will be 40-rookie draft prospects or possibly even undrafted have smashed the Sa midfield. Sa has even preferred to go others over roberts in the midfield, even though roberts is meant to be a genuine centre midfielder.

as I say thst roberts fires out a nice handpass.

he’s got good hands in close, but in a year where dunstan was barely wanted midfielders need more.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Roberts is great ball in hand but can't win a hard ball to save himself.

J burgoyne with a ripper.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Nice goal by Burgoyne but he is starting to worry me. He is so slight and so laconic. He needs stop jogging around and show some intensity. He's a project player.

It's short for Gregryan.

Hopefully under instructions

Catchy tune...

As is the theme with names nowadays, it is spelt wrong. It should be LGreygg. The L is silent.

 

[Chizza12]

Kade Dittmar was impressive, really powerful explosive inside mid. Has a Port Adelaide connection with his dad Mark having played for the Maggie's.

Got a bit of the Clive Waterhouse mullet going there too!

...and a dream to follow his forebears:

" Dittmar said his dream was to emulate his father, grandfather and uncles by playing at Port. "

AFL dream step closer

Margaret River prodigy Kade Dittmar will travel to Perth next year to pursue his dream of being picked in the AFL draft by playing for the East Perth colts.

Unfortunately Mark only played 6 games lol

 

[Port 2004]

Unfortunately Mark only played 6 games lol

Was quite a good player though. Not sure why he never went on with it.

According to this, all the previous Dittmars only played 112 games combined for Port.

I like Dittmar but I’d be surprised if we drafted him. He’s a bit agricultural like SPP and that type of player is on the nose at the moment.

Yea remember thinking he was going to be really good , I think he may have played for South after but memory is not a sure thing these days lol

 

[Portmagpies36]

Think he wore 29? He was around when there was a lot of really good tough midfielders Stephen Williams Timmy Ginever David Brown and a guy called Nathan Buckley.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I would loooove grabbing Dittmar. I feel his draft stocks have risen to put him out of reach after our Burgoyne match anyway though. His tenacity is terrific and I feel he's underrated in game sense and skill.

My way too uninformed and completely biased list of players I'd like at Pick 16:

Sonsie
Goater
Draper
Johnson
Sinn
Rachele

 

[It Just Is]

Watching WA vs SA is like the first intra club game of a preseason. All effort but plenty of fumbles, poor skills and no game plan. Quite hard to watch really.

A bit of Jonas about his game. Defends well, can kick too.
