Has Rome had a growth spurt?
Thought he was 172-175cm ish?

 

[Macca19]

Dyson Sharp will be the best ever SA draftee imo

181 on the stats: https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/do...-2023-AFL-National-Championships-U18-Boys.pdf

 

[VineValerian]

Dyson Sharp will be the best ever SA draftee imo

Can we F/S him by some devious underhanded plan?

 

[VineValerian]

Yes and also eligible as a F/S for the Saints.

Thought so.
Article wrongly said he was Shane's lad.
Fact checking done by the work experience kid

 

[240volt]

If we want to get a cheap ruckman I’d reckon we should draft Eastland from the WAFL.
IMO he’s the best ruck outside the AFL.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Is Chad Reschke from Sturt on anyone's radar?

He looked lively for Sturt today, big body forward for a 17 year old although only 188cm.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Draft picks: 37, 42, 73

List chasm: Another team that could be looking at a lockdown defender later in the draft, but perhaps more of a small to mid-sized backman. The Power have conceded the third-most goals to small forwards this season. They have ample rebounders off half-back – Dylan Williams, Kane Farrell

Ideal draft prospects: It’d be a terrific result if Luamon Lual was still available at Port’s first pick. A speedy and balanced prospect who provides explosive run off half-back yet is just as adept when defending one-on-one, Lual looms as an ideal mid-sized backman for AFL clubs. The Western Bulldogs are linked to Lual via their Next Generation Academy, but can only match a bid on him if it comes within the top 40 picks. Elsewhere, versatile 184cm Dandenong Stingrays prospect Harry DeMattia could be an option. While DeMattia has impressed as an explosive and agile midfielder-forward, he didn’t look out of place when he was moved into defence for Vic Country and kept Nick Watson quiet in the champs. If the Power wanted to look local, SA captain Will Patton – a composed 193cm left-footed defender who can play on both medium and taller opposition forwards – would be an outside chance, while Tasmania’s James Leake and Perth’s Oscar Hine-Baston have fans.

Thanks for the post!

Clearly the author doesn't understand we don't need a small/medium sized defender.
We got Burgoyne, Jones, Farrell, Bergman and Williams in or close to our 22.
All those defenders mentioned in the article are all below 186cm. We lack height down back.
Will Patton (193cm) is not the solution we already have McCallum & Pasini at that height who will most likely debut next season.
We need another project tall defender 195cm & above to develop like Kyle Marshall as McCallum will be taken by the Tasmanian team in 4 years.

He's been on mine for 18 months. Only reason I can think that he isn't talked up more is because he's a bit chunky and maybe a touch slow, but he's one of the best natural talents in this draft. I'd be dancing on the table if we got him late

His kicking for goal was a bit dodgy in the windy conditions, but he lead Pasini all over the ground. I thought he was one of those mid-20s stocky Hills dwellers from German heritage that have bobbed up at Sturt since I was a boy, but a guy up in the Precinct said he was only 17.

McCallum will stay here.
He'll get games next year in defence but eventually I see him as someone who could play a defensive role though the middle as well backing up Drew. Has a serious tank and pace.

Will Patton falls to our pick he's probably 195ish next year has no problems finding the ball and goes at 90% efficiency All Australian defender.

Review from SA vs Vic Country

"17 Will Patton (West Adelaide)
Tall Defender | 192cm | 79kg | 04/01/2005
Leading from the back for South Australia, Patton showed marked improvement in his defensive game with a shutdown role on Archer Reid – who has 10cm on him. The SA skipper split one-on-one tussles and peeled off for six marks, while also bumping up his numbers nicely to 20 disposals with a share of the kick-ins."

That's a good write up.

Just watching him play he looks athletic and it's just easy to see him stepping up to AFL level.

Why would McCallum stay? Can be in Tasmania's inaugural starting 22 where his father was a legend...
If anyone is backing up Drew it should be SPP if he doesn't need to tag.

Will Patton. Depends who we trade and if he is still 192cm by the draft.

McCallum likes it here. Why leave?
We are talking a couple of years down the track about backing up Drew not next week.

Will Patton is one of a few possibly really good pick ups that might slide to our first pick and that you could make a solid case for picking them up. It's perfectly normal to pick up 2-2.5 cms between the age of 17 to 20.

End of July Top 30 Draft Ranking 2023

AFL Draft Power Rankings: July 2023

central.rookieme.com

South Australian Draftees

• Jack Delean (small forward) ranked #29
• Will Patton (defender) not in the top 30
• Ashton Moir (forward) not in the top 30

A lot to play out with our own list, few players are possibly going to be traded which in term brings in draft picks

Possibility of being traded:

• Tom Clurey: more opportunity, trade for late 2nd round pick according to Cal Twomey
• Mitch Georgiadis (been silent for a few weeks now but have some links to Hawthorn)
• Riley Bonner - more opportunity
• Sam Hayes - more opportunity (could become a package deal with Bonner?)

 

[Schulzenfest]

Less than zero chance we get a pick in the 20's for Clurey. I'd guess more like a pick in the 50's.

 

[Andre]

Less than zero chance we get a pick in the 20's for Clurey. I'd guess more like a pick in the 50's.

If we were offered a pick in the 20's for Clurey, I'd be angry on behalf of the other club. 50's is right. He's worth a late 3rd, or at best swapping a late 3rd + Clurey for an early 3rd round pick.

Port has done ok at getting players in (though usually overpaying), but for players out in Ken's tenure it's one of, or combination of:
1. Talk them down so their value is trash
2. Don't play them, so their value is diminished
3. Don't trade them when they have value, instead waiting until they are too old
4. Don't trade them at all, despite good offers
See 1 - Wingard, 2 - Hayes, 3 - Lobbe and 4 - Hartlett.

If our list managers get a B for trades/free agents in, they and Hinkley deserve a D for value from players going out.

I expect we will trade back into the draft; if Georgiades wishes to leave, it is not automatic he wants to go home to WA.
A swap for Grundy + could appeal to both Clubs.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Clurey is a salary cap dump. Realistically we should be paying the other club to take on his contract.

 

[TazD]

Reckon Norf would be in the market for Clurey. Logue gone for the year and McKay leaving will have them stretched thin down back.

 

[philthy05]

Clurey is a salary cap dump. Realistically we should be paying the other club to take on his contract.

Lol he would be on low money. It’s not a salary dump. He would be leaving to get more opportunities

We won’t get a good pick, because he’s not playing here and he’s at the end of his career.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

“From zero to a hundred.’’ That’s how giant South Adelaide teenager Taylor Goad described his meteoric rise from part-time school footballer to one of South Australia’s most exciting 2023 AFL draft prospects. “It was only late last year when I was sitting in an agriculture class at (Westminster) school alongside my mate Tom Wheaton (a South and SA under-18s midfielder) and he said, ‘why don’t you come out to South?’
Tom called Mark Clayton (South talent manager and under-18s coach), who then messaged me and things went from there. “It’s unbelievable how quickly things have progressed.’’Goad was invited to Panthers training, impressed immediately with his athleticism and after beating out his ruck competition in pre-season games, he lined up as first ruck in the SANFL under-18s season opener against Norwood.

A few weeks later he was invited to join SA’s under-18 program and was so impressive he was selected for the Croweaters’ opening game against the Allies, playing second fiddle to Redlegs’ over-ager Alex van Wyk.By round three of the carnival, Goad had propelled himself to lead ruckman and he shone with the responsibility, being named SA’s fourth-best player in its only win of the championships against Vic Country.Significantly, he performed well against highly-touted ruckmen Mitch Edwards (Western Australia), Ethan Read (Allies) and Will Green (Vic Metro).
“I learnt so much during the carnival and by the end of it felt that my game had come a long way,’’ Goad, who was tutored by SA under-18s ruck coach, Port Adelaide star Scott Lycett

described the Year 12 student as “one of the most athletic big guys I’ve ever seen’’. “He’s super quick, unbelievably quick. We do one-on-ones with our key backs and he gets metres on them really quickly,’’ Brogan said.“He’s super agile, has good skills and can jump out of the stadium. Obviously he’s a bit raw but his upside is massive.“He’s super competitive, which is always a good trait, loves contact and will definitely go to the next level.“I think he’s going to be really, really good and something that the AFL might not have seen for a while.’’

Like Goad think he got better as the 18s carnival went on. Like Livingstone a lot. Like Vigo, Dantes little brother. We need 2 more Rucks in development for mine. This isn't a bad draft for them.

Draft Goad and Vigo and we are moving in the right direction.
