Must be watching different player, the footage I’ve seen his disposal by foot and both feet look pretty good to me

Footage/highlights is different to a whole game

Every touch he got this game

Watch his other games

Had a great back half of his under-age year, but has been disappointing this year

Busslinger has better disposal for his height

 

[Magical_EddieBetts]

Busslinger has better disposal for his height

So I watch his highlights/footage too and I thought his disposal was average

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

If we're looking for footskills and outside run you don't go for an inside mid that have elite hands and tidy disposal by foot. You go for the wingers who build their game on distributing by foot.

Only inside mids I'd be grabbing at 10 is Clark or Philippou because both can impact forward of centre too. Both aren't likely to reach us.

Hollands or Hotton for me, both fill a need.

If we decide to go a mid at pick 10...
I don't see an issue going an inside mid, if we think they are best available...

Always go best available...

 

[Arr0w]

Hewett isn't best available at pick 11

They might not see a centre bounce at AFL level for 4 years with our current group. Would be a complete waste. Look at Sam Flanders at Gold Coast absolutely dominating 2's playing as a full time inside mid and then has little to no impact playing anywhere else when he's selected in the AFL team as theres too many mids ahead of him.

If the best there at our pick are inside mids, simple enough to trade back for multiple picks and look for the outside run and footskills we need a few picks down.

 

[DangerousD]

We have to trade for Acres (unless Freo take a future), Owies must be upgraded. We must “lose” another main list player to take three picks, let alone four. (Might be done by shifting someone to the rookie list)

The lack of news on Fog is interesting and I’m assuming we will trade Setters, even if we trade our second, I see us using a future to get back in to the draft. Time will tell.

I've had that thought for best available for so long, but an inside mid is something I'd pass on with what we already have on our list.

It's taken some time but there are now areas we just don't need to focus on as I think we have a very solid list and having Cripps, Kennedy, Walsh, Docherty, Cerra so on and so forth who can all play on the inside, that's the area I don't see need for for the next few years at least.

Outside run or a fwd/mid for me this year

 

[HereComesJuddy]

From my understanding, we won't be trading any future picks this year unless on draft night someone we really want falls and we trade a future for that current pick.

 

[ray8182]

Maybe it’s just me, but he reminded a little of Petracca/De Goey ... that burst out of the pack and pace/power

That’s exactly what l saw in Hewett. I also thought of Degoey as well, maybe a slightly smaller version.

I think he would really add something to our one paced midfield. Much better mover than Kennedy, Cripps and G Hewett. Could imagine him playing at half forward as well.

After the success if the Korcheck experiment, hoping for another American Cat B.

Have narrowed it down to the following -

NAB League final on the AFL website now

 

[Blue By Blood]

Is it too much to ask for a miracle and Cadman slides to us.. from my limited viewing he's exactly what we need but looks exceedingly unlikely to make it outside the top 6 picks.

I do like Busslinger too but also likely to be gone by the time our pick rolls around.

I can't remember a draft where the first round has been so even and it's a struggle to decide who to go with. The old saying trade for needs and draft for talent- I stand by that. This year though unless there's a slider like the two mentioned above (or maybe even Clark), I think maybe you kill two birds with one stone and grab the needs based who happens to be best available as you could throw a blanket over about 10 guys with our pick. Maybe Phillipou as a guy who can play half forward with stints on-ball. I still think that's a weak area on our list.

I'd be a bit hesitant to draft a lightly framed outside type though. I think after bringing in Acres we need another year to assess our wings and the growth of LOB and Cottrell.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Hotton looks like hes got some real 'It' factor

Love Cadman but how do we need him? We have two Coleman medallists who play in his position.

If there isn't a slider, Hotton is who I want

Id be absolutely over the moon with Hollands and Hotton at 15-17 if we slid back for a 2nd bite.

Think Hotton would be gone by then, think Hollands would be around that mark

 

[Blue By Blood]

Because he would be very capable of playing as the third tall, which I still think is a weak area in our forward line. Or at the very least, allow Charlie to roam a bit higher. Love JSOS but he's not the answer long-term as our third tall. Also because I think he'll be the best player from the draft! McKay, Curnow, Cadman. Not a bad trio of talls. Though it's a moot point because it won't happen.

It’s only a weakness because Jack has had to ruck. I want to see us focus on outside run and ball use whether it’s through draft or trade. I have no knowledge at all, just know that’s a weakness and I love hearing from Coona Blues Arr0w and the like to see who they are.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Haven't seen any of these kids play live only from videos and draft experts...
Probably different to everyone else's picks... However... Liking the look of and should be around our picks

Pick 10
Henry Hustwaite - Balanced inside outside midfielder the size of Cripps... Who can play back...
Bailey Humphrey - Could be elite... If we are confident we could fix his kicking... Reminds me of Dangerfield as a mid/forward and has the Dangerfield shank kicking...

Phillipou - Really like this kid but highly likely gone by our pick...
Keeleer - Really like the look of him as a forward/ruck.. But likely to much of a stretch at pick 10 and likely gone by pick 28...

Pick 28
George - Possible slider due to his acl... Hard at it goal kicking forward...
Jefferson - KPF, who can kick a bag... Needs time and patients, pretty raw...
Szybkowski - Possible slider, balanced inside outside midfielder, good speed, foot skills and great by hand...
Dowling - Balanced inside outside midfielder, good speed, foot skills and loves a goal...
Fletcher - Winger outside midfielder, good speed, foot skills and Brisbane F/S likely to be matched and go earlier...

Pick 62 & 64 & Rookie
Ethan Phillips - 23yo Mature KPD, ready to go VFL player...
Schlensog - 22yo Mature KPD, ready to go WAFL player...
Scully - Project forward/ ruck, highly likely gone but could slide...
VFL - Cahil, Leiu & Ramshaw,

Pick 82
Owies - Have to upgrade, lucky 2x year contract extension
