List Mgmt. 2022 AFL Draft & Rookie Draft

[true blue19]

Is Dane Whitnall eligible this year?

 

[Bletch]

Is Dane Whitnall eligible this year?

Yep. He was eligible last year too. Outside chance.

 

[Revenant1995]

Is the 2023 draft potentially better for talls? Taking these 2022 and 2023 drafts as a whole, I wouldn't be surprised if draft picks this year will focus on faster, hard at it, outside type players. If so, who would be some of the candidates around our picks (currently 11, 29, 62, 65, 83)?

Mids...
Ashcroft, likely #1 or 2, will go to Brisbane F/S
Wardlaw, has been rated 1 or 2 most of past 12 months, but recent hamstring injuries may see him slip, but unlikely to get to us
Sheezel, forward/mid. Would love him, but won't get to us.
Tsatas, this would be the guy we'd really want, classy outside mid. Again won't get to us
Jyhe Clark, prob top 10, and more an inside player, but if he did fall to us, we'd have to consider.
Mattaes Phillipou, tall, classy left-footer from SA. Port might snatch him before comes to us. But could fit the description of who you're looking for.
Cam Mackenzie, Saints NGA, but they won't be able to take him under new rules. They might just grab him at their pick though. Classy mid who can hit the scoreboard.
Mitch Szybkowski. Good chance to be available. But more the hard-working inside mid.
Oliver Hollands. Perhaps best of the outside running mids (after Tsatas), and would be right in our sights (if we're after that outside runner you're suggesting). Brother of Suns' Elijah. Elite runner, works hard both ways, good disposal.
Brayden George. Dynamic small forward, who can work through the middle. Prob not the wing option you're looking for, but an option we'll look at.

At around second pick...
Olli Hotton if he gets that far (son of Trent). Winger, runs all day. Might even be an option for first round if we go deep into finals
Bailey Humphrey goal-kicking, quick mid. Rising up rankings during later part of year, might even end up a first round option.
Anthony Munkara another dynamic forward, rather than mid. Essendon NGA, but unlikely to get to pick 40. They'll have to do with Al Davey Jr as a F/S.
Adam D'Aloia SA inside mid who can hit scoreboard.
Kobe Ryan Like D'Aloia, another SA player who has been rated highly by some, but has drifted in ratings. Balanced mid, quick.
Sam Gilbey WA defender, who could play outside mid, strong runner
Jacob Konstanty Small forward with a few smarts.
Darcy Edmends Bit of a smokey, but would suit what you're looking for - wingman, good on left or right.

Later picks - too hard to say, will be a bunch of options.

Doubt will use both picks on mids - expect we'll take at least one tall, as it takes longer to develop taller players. I'm thinking we'll use one of these picks on a versatile tall - a forward who can ruck, or a defender who can switch forward.

 

[bigdog43]

Elijah Hewett is the one I want. What's better than having one Hewett?

 

[Arr0w]

It's why I think we will go a KPP in the first round

Add to the 2nd round

Connor McDonald, brother of Logan, moves well on the outside and generally a good sound kick

 

[Bletch]

Elijah Hewett is the one I want. What's better than having one Hewett?

Ooh, not sure why I missed him! He is on my big list. Think he'll get picked up before us though, but you never know.

 

[Arr0w]

Still have real concerns with Hewett and Hollands in terms of ball use

 

[TENACIOUS]

So want us to draft Brayden George

 

[Michael Jezz]

No, still think there is some good talent through the whole draft, but I wouldn't release our future picks

This years crop could be most covid effected, missing 2 seasons as 16 and 17 yo. This group may really come on once drafted

 

[The Bighouse]

Will post some rankings soon, but will drop some names to watch until then

Jasper Scaife - 197 85. Agile, smart, booming long kick, strong hands. Can play both ends. Would be around 3rd/4th rounder

Booming long LEFT foot kick? We need more lefties..

 

[Arr0w]

Right

 

[BlueJet]

So want us to draft Brayden George

Likewise, we need more impact from our medium forwards and the potential is there for him to become a genuine matchwinner.

 

[Cringle]

Guess it’s time to set camp up back in this thread.

Like we have for the last 10 years.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Guess it’s time to set camp up back in this thread.

Like we have for the last 10 years.

With middling draft picks this time. Joy.

 

[Christou2Kouta]

Get me Brayden George to kick some goals.

 

[Coona Blues]

Get me Brayden George to kick some goals.

Nah, we’d just bomb it long

 

[Jatz]

With middling draft picks this time. Joy.

May as well give it a go, it’s not like all our top end picks gave us all that much joy over the years.

 

[bmaurizio]

Anyone of Hollands, George or Ginbey, would love Phillipou too but probably would go much earlier. Keep the fingers crossed Austin selects a good lad.
We also need a good tap Ruckman to develop.

What are we expecting De Koning to be?

If he’s not going to be the main ruckman, he’s not needed in the forward or back line.

Agree we have TDK is unsettled at the moment, I see him more as a tall utility? thence a surplus in a way, needs to be developed carefully, so much natural skill.
Frankly not sure whether we get some experienced mature bodied Tap Ruckman in the interim to share the load, reckon TDK needs at least another couple of years.

 

[mikeythemoocow]

I just want the player who hates losing the most, and if he has been rubbed out for striking that wouldn’t be viewed as a negative

 

[reubsblues]

Hope we look at Tyreece Leiu looks to have plenty of Afl attributes

 

[El Topo]

skill

speed

swagger

aggression

not necessarily in that order

 

[Sickblue]

With our first pick I’d love us to target someone in the Baker / Diacos mould: great at the ground ball, elite agility / step and good user. For those in the know is there anyone in the 8-10 range who fits the mould?
