or Nick Daicos. More Will Phillips at this level. Very good but a tad limited.

Pascu: Liked him. Obviously well built already, but has weapons with power, kicking penetration and especially liked his competitiveness.

Sheezel: If he is committed(i have no idea if he is, or not) he will be a top notch AFL player.

Rye Penny: Late draft smokey.

Cam Mackenzie: Didn't like.

Tsatas: Was expecting dynamism. Got a sneak up onya 30 posi game. No knock.

Jefferson: Prospect. More around 15-20 than 10 for me. No knock.

Gruzewski: had to be impressed withe 4 different styles of mark he took. Although that's about all he did. Interesting.

Lewis Hayes: Very impressed.


Binns: Impressive. Showed off an AFL game.

Jhye Clark: Felt he almost tried too hard early. Settled and played a tough AFL pro style of play.

Hollands. Very impressed. Reminded me of watching Hugh Mc at the same age without maybe the goal power.

Burgiel. No knocks. Quite impressed.

Brennan. Didn't like.

Harley Reid: Outstanding. Best player out there. In 2nd gear too.

Humphrey: The classic boom or bust. Outstanding yet question marky.

Cadman: Almost a sure thing AFL forward. Just a matter of good or excellent one.

Murdoch: Impressive i thought.

Hustwaite: Didn't like.


For us on today's game:

Would happily use Pick 10 on probable candidates:

Hollands: Great running partner for Walshy to share the burden with down the track.

Hayes: Quality KPD well worth the pick.

Humphrey: Think we're in good enough list shape to take the punt if other 2 are gone.


Also watched about a dozen yearly highlight vids of top endish prospects. Ones that caught my eye for comment relative to expectation:

Cowan: was the one that impressed me. Would use a 20's pick on him.

Elijah Hewett: was the one that didn't. Wouldn't use a pick before 20.

Thought Coby Burgiel look classy at times. Liked the look of him. Might be good option at 28 if available.

Murdoch in defence looked good, moved like a guy who would be a good defender at afl level.

Hollands looks like an elite runner with excellent skills. Seems to be very consistent and has an ok contested side to his game. Hard to see how you could go wrong with selecting him. Wonder if he could play half back as well as wing. Would be good to bring in an elite runner who had multiple positions and didn’t just compete for a wing spot.

Hustwaite looked a bit spaced out at times and not with it.

I might be wrong but impression of tsatas game was he had a lot of low impact possessions. Expected more.

Binns kicking was very good which was a surprise based on what l had read. Looked good. With these outside players always looking to see what there one on one contested play is like. One on one contests out in space is something they are confronted with a lot more at afl level. Will be Interested to know how binns fairs in this regard.

I really liked Hayes as well so good hearing others did. I was thinking could he last to our 2nd, seems I was wrong there.
It was only 1 game but the mids seemed a bit underwhelming.

 

[GT619]

Hayes ticked a lot of boxes for me. The others well I can see why arrow calls an even draft it could go either way

 

[macky99]

Hayes I think will be taken early by someone. Looks like his game will translate well and is only eligible by a couple of weeks so has huge upside

There seems to be some good mid fielders who will go early & with Cadman the stand out forward.
lt looks pretty even between 8-15 so anything is possible, Busslinger from WA is also rated highly as the best key position defender.

Hayes is a good chance at our pick.

 

[Santo the king]

Some seriously good writeups from game yesterday.

Big thanks from me for taking the time to share.

 

[Mondyboy]

There’s also Wardlaw and Ginbey who Twomey touted top 10.

Personally I think either Hayes or Busslinger will be available if we want them.

If Wardlaw can overcome hammy concerns, is clearly a top 6 player

Ginbey, not sold, is a beast, but want to see more finesse in his game. At this stage more a Maynard type, which would be a great pick up

He kicks straight too.

Does seem very even. Reid was probably the most exciting player out there imo but someone like Hayes is only 4 months older then Reid so his upside is huge. Someone like Hayes is more Reid’s age then he is Cadman, Jefferson’s, Busslinger etc.
I could be very wrong but there is just something about him I really love but my opinion is off very limited no live viewing.

 

[Arr0w]

The 2 most composed players yesterday were Hayes and Edmends. Both were one touch, seem to make great decisions and hit targets with ease

Edmends is criminally underrated

 

[bmaurizio]

Player demand , desirability, hype and s dynamic , it fluctuates , especially during October & November.
Come draft night there will be bolters too , whom may steal the show.

Austin over the past 2 years has had no list management pressure. He has tinkered around the edges on draft day.
Picking 10, 28 and 64 will not provide enough scope to fill our list holes before this group enters the veteran stage.
Austin needs to throw the marbles against the wall and trade to achieve 5 picks in the top 40 by using future picks, taking on a salary dump or trading a player.

If we walk out with Acres and 3 draftees, that is a fail for mine

What are our holes that need filling?

Lucky there's a draft next year....and the year after....and the year after....and trading to backfill gaps in the list profile.

Colour me surprised that you're already posturing to declare our offseason a failure.

That is not factual most of our top end players are 22-25, compare that to some of the better teams we are in a good place.
Our list overall is in good shape, just needs some finishing touches which is achievable in this draft & trade period.

Not really sure how we are even close to the veteran stage. We were the younger team in 17/22 of our matches and on average were like the 5th or 6th youngest team all year.

We differ in opinion on a few things, but I am in furious agreement with this.

(Haven’t had chance to watch yesterday’s game yet with family gathering, bonus 4th grandchild on way)

Watched it all last night. Both big tick

 

[Stamos]

Hadn't seen mention of Edmends.
So he's a wingman? What's his draft range?

Mentioned Edmends a while back. Yes a wingman, natural elite user on both feet, composed beyond his years, never panics

Mid 20s pick

Great summary TW. Take runners, runners, runners for mine. (Hard nut ones with good skills on both sides!) Seriously though, it sounds like there are plenty of options across most positions this year which bodes well for getting a decent kid at 10

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

Rate Ashcroft around pick 6, but that makes no difference

Yes, the draft is very even

I don't know if you've posted it before but interested in seeing your top 10 ArrOw.

"Veteran stage"

We may only have 1 player over 30 on our list next season.

Mid 20s pick

I'm a exponent upgrading our 2nd R pick, structure p28 + player to an early 2nd, it would be a better position for us.

 

[bmaurizio]

I'm hoping Issac Keeler may drop that far and around the mark.
