List Mgmt. 2021 Mid-Season Draft

[gouki88]

When is the mid season draft held?

2nd of June - between rounds 11 and 12 I think

 

[anshell]

What sort of players do you think we should pick up in the mid season draft?Personally I’d be looking for a key forward and a big bodied clearance beast in the middle of the ground.Those are the sort of players I think we need most of all,

 

[legendstatus]

So we have pick 2 right now, this draft is for mature age right?

Anyone who has gone undrafted previously or been delisted. So can be an overage playing tac not really what most would call mature ager. In the past, Elliott, Langdon and Phillips would have qualified when we took them.

Not just for mature agers, but there is some merit in nabbing them (like Pickett for the Tigers). However we went young with Noble (22 when drafted) and he's arguably been the best nab of that mid-season draft.

Given the mess that was recruiting in 2020 I'd not put it past us to try and get guys that we thought highly of in the national draft that didn't get picked up. Jacob Edwards is one of them. I'd also give Tyler Keitel a crack. Think he'd slot right into our forward line and let us move Moore back

Best available.

Best available.

Best available with new criteria that values pace as importantly as the modern game values it.

Pace would be nice but a lack of elite pace shouldn’t be a deal breaker.

No it shouldn't, but it's got to the stage where if you're a touch slow you don't just have to be good in other areas, you have to be elite in other areas.

Skills and IQ is what we need most.

Given the COVID issues last year with a lot of players not playing they reckon there will be plenty of talent available.

 

[Scribe26]

We have an incredibly-lucky opportunity with the mid-season draft here.

Absolutely agree we just go for best available talent. If that talent happens to be a 200cm forward/ruck, all the better.

Wouldn't say no to a young midfielder who projects into next year's top 20 either.

why are people thinking this is a golden opportunity? of the 2019 draft 4 are still playing, 4 highly rated over aged 19 year olds were taken an went on to do zero..

people are over rating the talent

Apples and oranges. There were so many unknowns in the last draft that some very decent players ended up falling through the cracks. There are several 19 year old players who look very much like they’d be drafted this year in the ND if there was no mid season draft available to them.

Anyone you like as a target?

It's been s**t. Footy media adds precisely nothing to the game. At times it's made me hate the experience of following the footy. It's out of control.

Media are just So-Called Experts giving there Opinion.

Just like we are doing now really

Are you talking about On the Couch.

I found it an interesting listen

Gary Lyon wants Darcy to stay forward for the remainder of the season and maybe his career.

Riewoldt not a fan of trading away mature talent like they did at St Kilda with Dal Santo, dug the boots in and said they didn't play finals for 10 years after that.

Brown sounded like he was 12 beers deep as per usual..

Just in general

Just on Moore glad we tried him forward but he is a BACKMAN ...just put him back..

Try cox/keane/kelly/tohill/Henry forward

There's been an expectation that there would be late developers who went undrafted because they missed their final year of footy. No idea how that's playing out. There's a young ruck forward getting press, but most of the press is still focused on the same type of mature agers from the last preseason draft.
