Preview 2022 draft prospects

[sr36]

Be Either Nobel or Ginnivan

I mean new guys TD. Noble has to be upgraded. Ginnivan only will be if there is a benefit of doing so.

 

[sr36]

Isn’t Noble still on the rookie list?

Yes. I could have my numbers wrong. But I thought we were now down to 31 on the senior list - not including Noble - meaning we still need to add four more to the senior list after Noble to make the minimum? Could upgrade another rookie - but I don't see why they'd put Murley onto the rookie list and then upgrade a rookie who doesn't need upgrading - it'd be a strange pointless thing to do.

 

[Couch Coach]

Yep. Interesting stuff. Wasn't there interest in Poulter from Suns, could of got him a new home and gotten something in return

GCS would have been interested assuming Fiorini had left and therefore created a list spot.

Hopefully Poulter finds a spot on a list somewhere.

We generally like to retain the flexibility of being able to add someone outside the national draft so I imagine our delistings, rookie uprgrades and drafting decisions will reflect that once again.

Top 30 compilation

Been slack with this in 2022 but here goes, in case anyone is interested:

Anyone who believes Jefferson’s body type will make it doesn’t pay too much attention. He’ll be harder to turn into a KPF than McMahon was. Way too slight and not even big enough. If he was 200cm maybe there would be something to work with. At 195cm. No thanks.

Sounds like Jarrad Grant.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I suspect it did hurt.

Could slip all the way to #17 then, that’s a shame. Nasty injury.

I think you missed my dumb joke.

Not at all, quite enjoyed it, just couldn’t improve on it!

Jack Gunston was 191cm and 74kg when he was drafted... Not every player needs to be a 95kg 18 year old to be able to kick goals at AFL level.

But, everyone wants a contested marking beast, Jefferson isn't that. The issue isn't whether or not he might be able to kick goals in the future, it's if he's going to be the number one big strong KF that everyone wants. I have no problem taking him with our first pick but not as the hulking version of Hawkins that everyone expects

 

[Jen2310]

Unlikely Jefferson will fall to us anyway. Plenty of clubs above us will grab him. Dees is one I can imagine.

Yes I don't see him being there, hoping for Lemmey at 27

He is the one for me too.

Why does he have to be Tom Hawkins for people to want him as a player?

I'm pretty sure we'd all take Bayley Fritsch in our forward line and he averages under 10 disposals a game and is absolutely no Tom Hawkins.

Sure, having a big hulking forward is important, but so is having a natural forward who knows how to get goals on the board.

And taking Jefferson doesn't mean that he's the only forward we're allowed to have in the team for the next 10 years.

 

[Pendles!]

Hine will go best available as usual. Hopefully there is a decent slider.

Thats what he said in his road to the draft podcast interview.

Preach! There is some bizarre posting going on. Matt Jefferson isn't Tom Hawkins and that's the reason he shouldn't be highly rated I mean that makes no sense whatsoever. Harry Lemmey however is tall and has filled out, maybe familiarise yourself with the term limited upside.

Fritsch is the best kick for goal in the competition. Jefferson is a woeful one. That is why Fritsch can be such a damaging low-possession forward

 

[Dynamics]

I'm going to back him in if we pick him and consider him a dud if we don't.

Words to live by.

 

[Dynamics]

Elijah Hewett is a first class stud. If that kid is around at our pick 16. I don’t care if they don’t take any others.

Couldn't agree more. Just about my favourite player in this draft. If the Eagles are mad enough not to take him at 12 and he somehow gets to us I'd be over the moon.

Maybe he shouldn’t. Change it up dekka.

Levers & you best believe we will pull them.

 

[Wearmouth]

Got news for you, Jefferson will go in the first round and Keeler and Lemmey won't because one, he's a much better player and two, he has produced, have a look at the AA team. And playing the championship decider with a fracture in his leg didn't hurt either.

As simple as no. Not a chance to translate anything unless he puts on 25kg and grows 5cm.
