Mitch Szybkowski at 20 would be a bargain.

Mitch Szybkowski at 20 would be a bargain.

Yeah I was looking which of those mids would be a good inside bull mid

 

[Jen2310]

So our first pick is 16. And of course every club may have a different on draft boards.

But see who they go for. A midfielder? Hustwaite would be available around our pick


Unless you go for Keeler who is at 19 here

 

[Jen2310]

Lemmey at around one of our 3rd rounders where it currents sits... though who knows what those picks look like after the trade period

So with two of the main U18's comps having their seasons completely done and dusted, it's a good opportunity to come out with a fresh rankings. Thought I'd take it to top 50 given we're getting closer to the period where fans will know where abouts their clubs will be selecting. As always happy to answer questions, I have a list of about 50 more players I view as 'draftable' as well, so there's depth in the draft but I'm not 100% convinced on anyone from about 35 onwards which is partially exciting and frustrating.

In terms of tiers, I probably see it as the Top 5 in Tier 1, 6-12 Tier 2, 13-30 Tier 3, 31-46 Tier 4 and the rest from there are all on a similar level

Szybkowski, Keeler (Henry pick) and then Lemmey please.

 

[stormskye]

Hustwaite 194cm mid? Jesus they getting tall . If there was a way to package up two firsts to get Jefferson I’d be keen

 

[SchuPie]

Be v interesting to see what we do with our picks
Good variety of players; KPP, inside / outside mids, wingers, hbf-ers
Do we trade picks out, trade more in, trade up?

 

[Matt_352]

Who is more of an inside bull between Hustwaite and Szybkowski?

One of them + Keeler and Lemmey thanks.

If Henry goes then all 4 then.

Hustwaite, Szybkowski, Keeler, Lemmey.

Szybkowski. He is a great mix of inside outside power and would be a great fit for us.

Hustwaite reminds me of a player like Kyle Langford at Essendon.

Ok then we definitely need Szybkowski then

He would be a valuable asset in the club - cheap Fords all round.

I"d prefer Hotton to Hustwaite

Yu Ashwin named as an emergency for Vic Metro for tomorrow’s game against Vic Country in championship deciding game

I know they were supposed to be Cadman highlights but Szybkowski seemed the impressive one in that clip.

Not really highlights, just seemed be everything he did in the game. These are so much better than the usual highlight clips because those make every kid look like a superstar, its not really instructive. Szybkowski looked good in that game for sure.

I still have my doubts about Cadman and I really can't see him being picked ahead of the first 10 midfielders but happy to be wrong.

Nah I disagree.

He’ll definitely be picked early into the top 10. Has scope to become an absolutely athletic and contested marking beast. A great mix of Cameron and Curnow.

If he hasn’t we should definitely find a way to trade up to nab him.

Also I think it’s pretty obvious I love Szybkowski. I think he is seriously underrated on bigfooty.

Yep massive fan of Szybkowski

dont see the contested marking actually
really looks like someone who relies on getting separation and space - something fwds dont get at AFL level

I think you probably need to watch a bit more than those couple of little highlight clips. He is a great contested mark similar to how Curnow is.

I think he will fill our to be a monster at AFL level too. He just has that build I can see easily putting on muscle

Agree, this guy could flourish or be a bust. Kicks a lot of points so that’s a fit for us. Hard to see how goes top 10 pick TBH
