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.

Definitely need him - we still don't have a McKercher type midfielder. That is, a quick pure inside/outside midfielder, with smarts, polish and exceptional decision making ability. You could argue Will DAY fits that description but I see him as being more of a full time utility once our list becomes more accomplished.

Cam Mac is that player too, but just maybe a little less refined at this stage.

Wouldn't be disappointed to see them both in brown and gold.

Hold the phone though, the Wiz at Hawks training it bloody exciting. So many great early picks on offer. Perfect timing to have the number three if it had to happen.

The boys on Gettable just declared that we are into Zane Duursma

No they didnt they said he had a great last game and should be in the discussion at our pick

Roller coaster of emotion right there

Zane is in my top 3

I want Wiz or Durz in a polo. both I'd run down glenferrie Rd naked

 

[Sixpence]

I'm still keen on Curtin.

 

[The hands of stone]

Wiz trained at BH tonight apparently.

Part of the furniture already.

Would love to see him go 1-1 against sticks Ryan

I'm under the impression that if North do not get their compensation package (to access McKercher and Sanders via NGA despite the "Jamarra Rule"), they will not be passing on McKercher with all the work they have put into him and his career

Given north’s involvement with McKercher I almost feel we have to take him. Not just to help him escape their black hole of a club, but he must have so much upside if he’s still that god after being involved in their environment!

And If you did many of us would hide behind a Curtin.

Fair bit of chatter that clubs aren’t too enamored with Caddy’s attitude.

Reckon he slides into the teens.

Never been a fan of his game or his attitude.

Is he related to Josh Caddy? Josh is a flog on and off the field.

Could run under his legs.

I agree on his uncle. Hopefully he can change this narrative, as many kids are nothing like their family.

Important to consider that many draftees google themselves in interest and read this stuff. We shouldn't be casting judgement, without most of us knowing them at all.

According to Cal you've zeroed in on this fella as your pick.

FFS people, stop posting about what North will do, or what pick they might have.

Enough.

 

[FB19]

Reid. Watson. Duursma. In that order for pick 3. Happy days.

 

[Hawk the Talk]

According to Cal you've zeroed in on this fella as your pick.

His game against Vic Metro was pretty special. I’ll be stoked with either him or Watson.

Watson + Duursma.
Need both.

And archer reid. One tall, one medium and one small.

I would rather go O'Sullivan

Archer might be easier to get.

 

[The Chad and I]

According to Cal you've zeroed in on this fella as your pick.

He is the most graceful draft prospect I have seen in a long time.
He works hard and loves a tackle too.

Isn't he a defender? I'm trying to fix our forward line
