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.

Fawcett and Leake going to the same club.

Geelong seriously picked a 26 yr old at pick 36. Gotta keep that average age up!

He's a gun. Poppy MKII

 

[Scrads]

My prediction is we'll take a complete unknown that no one has mentioned yet

 

[Philhawk]

Not gonna lie, I would love another Schoenmaker to hear about how he's training the house down every pre-season

 

[spudmaster]

Wonder if we can get a late picks next year for out picks in the 50s this year?

Sometimes it's all about the lulz and memes in this game

Nothing is going to top drafting Mitchell Lewis in the year we traded Jordan Lewis and Sam Mitchell away.

My money is on Calsher

Professionalism has improved out of sight over the past few years. It means players come in ready to play AFL far more than they used to, but with less improvement left in the tank.

Apply that to fonti just picked (fair few like him) I just don’t see any difference in level of improvement, if anything they have far more

Absolutely!!

An industrious player no doubt but not in Poppy‘s league.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

An industrious player no doubt but not in Poppy‘S league.

We'll see. I like the pick

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The question marks on Schoenmakers character have pushed him out this far. Will he even get drafted?

your wish may come true, I would have preferred murphy, reid,

Sure, but have you seen how much he's bulked up this pre-season?

nothing will ever be as good as Mitchell Lewis the year we let go of Mitchell and Lewis

 

[HeHateMe]

Could we trade 46 for a future pick?

 

[GinniAndTonic]

My money is on Calsher

0% chance we trade the pick out for something next year if that was the case.

Players who have "slid" from the average rankings:

• Archie Roberts (22)
• Arie Shoenmaker (32)
• Zane Zakostelsky (33)
• George Stevens (34)
• Jack Delean (38)

Lorenz was well down the guessed order - but tbh, beyond 25 - it's open season really...

Wonder if we pick up one of these boys or a mystery pick!

 

[Rich]

Gotta be Lorenz

 

[Philhawk]

Schoey. Cmon Sleepy, do it for me

I'm confused what you're saying here.

I mean draftees are more physically prepared for AFL as the U18 systems get more professional, which means they come out year 1 and complete more pre-season and impact more but they have less improvement in the tank at AFL level. You'd never see a player come in and get 0 disposals for their first 3 games like, say, Kade Simpson.
