List Mgmt. 2022 Draft Thread

[weltschmerz]

Cal saying on Road to the Draft that Buss could reach us, and Darcy Jones' draft range looks to be 20-40. Buss and Jones would be great.

 

[True Dog]

Michalanney in particular would be a really good pick up, if the Crows passed on him then I'd be happy with him at 21.

I don't mind him as well however feel with Cleary & Raak in the wings and play a similar style, pick 21 might be a stretch? It will be interesting, one thing for sure we're going to find out how good our recruiters are because there's many options around our picks (first 2 picks anyway) and some will go on to be better that expected and other not so.... Lets hope we're on the positive end

Michelanney is very much a lockdown defender, Cleary at least seems to be more of a taller general defender.

Herald Sun reports that Dogs are keen on Davey Jr and Michalanney

And we have the pick before Essendon

 

[murphy's twin]

And we have the pick before Essendon

you suggesting that we trade pick 39 plus future second for their pick 22?

 

[murphy's twin]

If we have pick 21 and 22

Could mean that we grab both Jones and George for instance

 

[doggies ftw]

Surely 22 should be easily gettable if Daveys still there at 21, an extra pick at 21 is a huge bonus for Essendon - if they call our bluff Davey suits us anyway.

Weddle & one of the smalls at 21, 22 would be bloody awesome.

 

[weltschmerz]

I’m picking for the Dogs in the Reddit mock draft. You better believe that I’m making every bid that’s even slightly reasonable.

 

[Mojorisin]

Busslinger and George (with a bid on GWS' Academy player Harry Rowston).

Could be worse.

What is everyone's take on Rowson?
I struggle to place him, I'm not sure how his game translates to afl level.

Assuming we take a KPD or outside player with our first pick, I think Rowston would be the perfect inside player to take (or bid on) at 21 who could learn from the best contested beasts in the business in our midfield.

Pick 11: Philipou/Hollands/Busslinger
Pick 21: George/Hewett
Pick 22: Weddle/Jones

Nice!! Get it done

Sullivan's name coming up as a likely state league prospect. We're 100% rookie listing him.

I hope its only as a rookie

 

[_Cerberus_]

If the names we are linked to are true, then it shows we are targeting defenders and small forwards, two of our weaknesses. If we can nab one of each, and a good winger, we have done well and covered all three needs. Feel we would need to trade up pick 39 most likely to pull getting quality at all 3

If we don't trade up our pick 39 and don't take a small forward with our first two picks, I suspect we pick up Leary (19 year old small forward) who we have apparently interviewed.

Brandon Leary (Tasmania Devils) Age: 19

Position: Forward (177cm)

Despite tipping the scales at just 72kg, Brandon Leary is an incredibly consistent forward, who hit the scoreboard in his first 13 NAB League matches. A season-high six goals came against the NT Thunder while he also managed to nab three-goal hauls on four separate occasions. Leary’s goal sense has been praised – as he finished with just one goal less than top draft contender Aaron Cadman and three less than Harry Sheezel. Leary says he’s modelling his game on Magpie Jamie Elliott, and could prove a ready-made option for some AFL clubs.

There is also Cory Preston available who trained with us a pre-season ago - has played defence last year after playing forward previously. Might be a rookie option as a BP anyway

 

[0utsider]

Since we’re almost definitely going to get Sullivan who watches VFL and knows what we’d be getting? Would he have potential as a small forward at AFL level?

He's a pretty accurate kick at goal when he gets up there, and he has pace, but I think he'd be wasted there, and in our seniors in general. He's a ball-winning mid. I think he'd get a good go at it on some teams, and would be pleased for another team to rookie him.

I believe we're interested in him in the rookie draft

 

[weltschmerz]

Article about Van Es in the HS really makes him sound the goods. Ballarat boy, latecomer to high-level footy and playing as a defender so has heaps of development left in him, reckons his bodywork and strength are his best attributes.

 

[murphy's twin]

So we all agree that with our 3 picks, we need a best available Mid, a small forward and a Key defender?

Wingman and small defender are the biggest needs for mine

In terms of the name tall defenders in the draft, he seems like the rawest of them all but his combine results mean that he has a ton of potential.

I think we just need best available. Key defenders and silky outside-leaning types should get a bonus in their draft board placement, but then I would stay faithful to the board. Aside from key forwards, there isn't really a position that we're overstocked in.
