List Mgmt. 2023 Draft Thread - Part I

[George]

That’s put him back in his, ahem, barrel.

The name describes the person

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind young Hastie, however we recruited McLennan and McConnell, both half back options.

Hastie probably 10 times more likely to become an AFL player than our NGA or Irish Rookie.

It’s pretty clear what Ross wanted, run run and more run. Very excited to see how we go with these runners.

 

[hangdog]

Who?

The commentator that says "special"

 

[saintmike65]

Fair points. Hugo is definitely towards the top end for 20m sprints, I think l remember Shifter saying he tested that way last year.
Also just behind Wilson in the TT so likely top 10 for this draft as well.

Hastie was quite impressive in match sim on Monday, very quick and chooses good options..not physically ready at this stage but one to watch!

Tell that Taghue Kennelly and Zach Tuoey!

The Saints took Hastie at the pick Simpson would easily have been available.

They may have gone Simpson if still available but clearly had Garcia in their sights given they traded a pick in for him.

Simpson & Garcia would have been going for the same role anyway. I wanted Simpson but Garcia looks a competitive beast so happy with the pick.

Hugo is very driven and working very closely with Lenny…another one to watch!
Had a quick chat to Jake Batchelor, he’s up and about with who’s at his disposal for Sandy!

Random enough, but a lot of our picks have a lot of the 'Dalrympal' flavour to them. Garcia, Hastie in particular.

We'll see how good Toce was I guess in a couple of years. Simpson looked like a Jack Steven clone and like he'd be pretty much ready to go in a couple of years. Garcia has the tools to be special but less certainty. Hastie has a similar high ceiling if he comes on but slower burn.

Alphas don't dispute the existence of alphas.

Pipe down, omega.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Sure , add Darragh Joyce and Santana O'Hailpin.
Then add up all the ones who never got a game. Those 4 come to a pretty low percentage.

Yes its possible.
Yes its worth taking a punt with an Irish Rookie.

No you can't just grab one and assume you'll have a player in a few years.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Pipe down, omega.

Beta's will be on top if they can sneakily eliminate the Alpha.
They have to do it sneakily or they have no chance.

 

[gringo2011]

Hey they don’t call me Warwick Kappa for nothing.

You misheard. It was Warwick Zappa.

Stynes and Wight were handy too…if you get a good one it’s gold.
Clark fro Collingwood was a gun but got homesick.
O’halpin, Tommy Walsh and Joyce are all big guys, the ones that have made it have been smaller running types (except for Stynes).

 

[saintmike65]

I reckon Hastie would have done well in the 20m sprint too if he wasn't disqualified.

Don't think Garcia tested. Anyone know?

Wilson looks an unbelievable athlete

Pretty sure Garcia was injured at the time of the draft combine

My point was :
If you take a player in the draft there is a good chance they will work out.

If you take an Irish rookie there is still a chance, but its less a chance.

If you draft 3 players, an NGA , an Irish Rookie , and a lateish draft pick, there is no guarantee you'll end up with an AFL player.
So we have 3 HBF. If by some stroke of luck we end up with too many good HBF's , we will have to trade one.

Girl you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin
He hung around till you found
That he didn't know nuthin'

 

[Ads734]

Dalyrimpal had a flavour to his drafting I’ll try explain.

He loved like high upside, perhaps lower (exposed performance players)

Ie Bailey Dale , Baily Williams, Ed Richards, Bont, Chad Warner.

Ie Hastie, Garcia Collard.

The way I look at it is guys who maybe didn’t dominate the top top level but showed they could dominate at some level and improved through the year.

Now whether it was Toice or Daleympals I fluency I don’t think it matters too much. Good sign either way

I’m glad this thread was bumped because I was much funnier last year.
