While you're here, take a few minutes out of your Draft Day(s) to cast a vote on the 2022 Game Previews poll.

Win Prizes - Season 2022 Game Previews

Welcome back everyone. So I finally found my To Do list from a while ago, and written in red between "Mow the back yard" and "Get your act together" is "Wrap up the Game Preview thread" which I must have overlooked. Boy is there egg on my face! We ended up having ten game previews this season...

Are both of these kids Indigenous boys or how did they qualify for our NGA?

Draper Ethiopian heritage from his mother. Williams from Kununurra I think

 

[Wobbly Punt]

Both the Davies/Draper and Warner/Williams pick situations are giving me the Ballas/Walters flashbacks.

I wanted both those NGA guys and then would have been happy with Davies and Warner as rooks. The fact we did it the other way around but got the same result is excellent.

He is, yes

So no Scaife?

Thanks, nice to see us listing another local indigenous talent, fingers crossed he can follow in the footsteps of other great later round picks from freo of WA indigenous players.
Draper with Ethiopian heritage - there can’t be too many players from an Ethiopian background in the AFL I imagine previously.

 

[Wobbly Punt]

That Nick Madden kid at GWS is going to be fun to watch until he kills one of our guys. What a unit.

It might just be Draper and Jiath

Weags & GWS picking up players they delisted (Winder & Davis)

 

[serial_thrilla]

West Coast rookied Winder with their first pick. Leaves plenty on the board for us.

[Joose]

[s_wd6]

so many rucks

 

[Tonga Bob]

A Frangastani!!!

 

[Polo342]

Jeez Sam Gilbey gonna go undrafted?

 

[Wobbly Punt]

Cal saying Reidy was a chance for the last mid season draft and would have been a chance for the mid season draft this year with continued form.

Now we get to have the emergency ruck if needed and he can develop and ruck for Peel. Solid strategic pick.

Hamish Free from Souths going to Arden St.
