Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids.
Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish.

Trade speculation belongs here.
That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades.

Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk belongs here.

For anyone interested, Mark McKenzie will be on Gettable with Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge from 5:30pm (AEST).

Hope his segment is sponsored by Nodoz

As per BAU, he'll be playing the straightest bat you've seen.

How soon before 'talent order' gets rolled out I wonder. I'm thinking first 20 seconds.

Have also heard we're into a Finnbar Maley? Basketballer who played for the Bullants this year. Maybe a MSD chance next year if he doesn't get picked up.

Used to coach him in volleyball when he was in year 7 and 8. Was a crazy athlete then and was BOG for Eltham in the NFNL GF this year (think he kicked 4). Has so much natural talent just a matter of how hard he wants to work. Great kid regardless

I reckon this is just the shinbeggers throwing one last bit of doubt to WC. As much as they deny it they still want pick 1 for Reid.

Yep. I can see this coming.

Would be the smartest list decision they have made in the last 10 years.

Big Game Zane, come on down!

A pirate with a basketball background.

Sign. Me. Up.

Not uncommon, the famous Monkey D. Luffy was a successful pro basketballer before he turned pirate. His physical abilities often stretched the opposition.

Cal still has us taking Wiz.

Still reckon some twists and turns coming tomorrow arvo.

Do people really think West Coast would trade a F1 for Curtin? If Curtin was such a guarantee there's no way he'd potentially slide to pick 10. West Coast will finish last next year.

More likely CMAC3 will be available.

I wish they'd bring in player trading on draft night,

Is that a ‘Curtain’ covering the Wizard.

 

[Mr Lizard]

Is that a ‘Curtain’ covering the Wizard.

...or is it all just a big game?

who even knows what we're getting. fun times.

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Gotta say, I’m still torn between the Wiz and Curts.

But I’d REALLY love NM to make it easy for us, and leave us one of Colby or Zane.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Spoke to someone from North last night. They won’t be bidding on Walter.
We’ll take Wiz. Says his testing for deceleration is off the charts, never before seen. Can go from top speed to slowing down to sidestep an opponent in an instant.

Doesn’t expect anyone to be doing any trades in the first 6 picks. Curtin will slide, it’s just how far before the eagles get back in.

He was very complimentary of McCabe too. Said he was at the game where Will had 30, and was running rings around those who should’ve been much more quick and agile.

Anything on Mitch Edward’s? Heard Norf are keen to keep him on a short leash?

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I've got friends who are lovely people and support North.

It's a club that is nearly 100 years old.

I hate these sorts of comments, we dont need another Fotzroy.

They have their issues but come on man.

I was like you until this year. Fold them and give their license to Port Melbourne - they have more history, more pride and likely more supporters.

Straight bat McKenzie

 

[tl92]

Straight bat McKenzie

he suggested it was unlikely we would trade pick 4, you’d have to read that as us taking Watson. It’s a no brainer to trade down if we want Curtin with bulldogs so firm on Sanders.
