List Mgmt. 2022 Draft Thread

[LittleG]

I’d take Buss over Hollands any day.

Hollands could help us win next years flag. Buss will be at least another year later. It depends on where you see the list & coaching.

I see all in for 2023.

For me, we've got Jones and Keath for this premiership tilt, I really want to have a replacement or two developing for when they retire. Could only have a year or two, and I'd rather not leave drafting a young KPD until a time when we have nobody else for them to develop under.

Hollands is very vanilla. Doesn't seem to have much about him that's elite and I don't know how high his ceiling is.

Busslinger isn’t a KPD. He is a general defender, who is tall. He may become a KPD but I don’t back out system to develop him as such.
Better off targeting an actual KPD, like Hayes, Weddle, or Van Es.

Hollands is a vanilla wing, which is better than any wing we currently have…. Which is an indictment on our list.

Buss reminds me of Naughton in juniors, and haven't we all been wanting a Naughton in defense?

Surely there's another vanilla wing at 21.

Not as good as Hollands. Maybe D Jones or Ed Allan is there but I think they will go earlier.

Pick 21 looks like Clarke or Weddle territory.

Next year, sure. Pick 21 there will be choices…. That is looking like a deep deep class. Mostly due to covid restrictions stuffing up development until that class.

I don’t see the contested marking being at Naughton level.

Hollands and Clarke would be a very disappointing first two picks for me. Our KPD deficiencies need addressing immediately, so that when Jones and/or Keath fall apart in a year or two, we have someone developing. Weddle is a talent but I'm not sure he's a KPD either.

Next year's draft is where I want us to stock up on mids. Libba and Treloar will both be another year closer to retirement. This year I think it'd be a bit foolish to go an inside mid, but with two firsts in a strong draft next year, might be the time.

I get such Naughton vibes from Buss, all the way down to most people being pissed if we select him (as I was with Naughty)

Maybe we've got big plans to go after [PLAYERCARD]Ben McKay[/PLAYERCARD] as a free agent next year. Hope so, that'd make our 2024 and beyond way less desperate. For now I'm concerned we'll be going into 2024 with a 33-year-old Jones, a battler Gardner, and a brand new draftee.

I think we have the players for a flag run in 2023. What's lacking is positioning and gameplay.

Norf will pay him $600k more than he should get. No way he leaves them.

There's a mock draft going on atm on youtube if anyone is bored enough to watch.

I certainly am.

Hewett to us is interesting.

 

[Dav1d]

I actually just started watching some pommyinoz videos, I enjoyed what I’ve watched

 

[Ash1337]

I certainly am.

Hewett to us is interesting.

Hewett make sense as a Dunkley replacement in a few years.

 

[LittleG]

I would rather Buss, Hayes, Hollands, Weddle, Clarke, Konstanty, Tsatas, Mackenzie, Ginbey, Cowan, Clark, Fletcher, Allan, Jones.

He'd be a best available if that's the direction we went in. Don't love the Cowan pick along with him though.

He would be the same deal as Hewett besides Duyrea has not long left.

Both flight risks I reckon.

 

[Ash1337]

Yeah but dogs have had good retention with players from other states. Last 1 to trade back home was Hamling I think.

 

[Dav1d]

Honestly I’d just take Hayes at 11 if that’s what was left or Phillips at 39
Pommy has still selected three exciting players for us though

I'm fine with no KPD in the draft if they can get 1 as a rookie. Go for Talent then rookie a kpd like Brand. Cowan can be turned into a intercept defender as well.

Heck, I’d be happy with Cowan even at our first

I think a small/medium defender is more of a need then a key defender at this point. We have an aging duryea or nothing. Cowan or weddle are my picks

 

[Ash1337]

Really if dogs don't go for a kpd in the draft I hope Ryan Eyres is still there to rookie.

Hollands has elite endurance. Not very sexy but probably most important for a winger.
Also a much better kick than anyone we've been playing on the wing.
