Analysis 2023 Draft Watch

[bradfisher14]

Probably not the line of sight you're looking for, and it's only one man's opinion, but there are 3 rated
players who i wouldn't take in the first 2 rounds:

Darcy Wilson
Archie Stevens
George Stevens

Any particular reasons for each?

Charlie Edwards, bring him to me

What have you got against Mr Stevens?

 

[TerryWallet]

Any particular reasons for each?

Well, quite a few things go into reasoning/gut feels. But to keep it succinct:

Wilson - Timidness, outsideness only at AFL level.
A. Roberts - Lack of ceiling, few things i've heard give me doubts about mental durability when it gets a lot tougher.
G.Stevens - Will be a gun footballer, wouldn't invest heavily on it being at AFL level.

I meant Archie Roberts in first post, not Archie Stevens lol

Charlie Edwards, bring him to me

Is he the Miles Bergman bolter from 2019 cohort?

Just going through the gears

Started as a HB, then midfield in the 2nd half of the season. Composed, uses it well and has real burst for a player of his height

Could be a Will Day type

 

[Garters]

He's a Colt?
And his name is Kolt(yn)?
That's a big yes from me.
Best name I've heard in a while.

Koltyn Thursdrup.

I mean, camon...it sounds like gallopping thunder!

Riley Beveridge was musing at the fact Koltyn T spent 3 days at the combine with his sunnies on. The fact much of it was iindoors was not lost on him!

Does anyone think we should be taking a project ruckman at one of our picks Will Green
or Mitch Edwards

 

[Juice030103]

If we trade up for 8 (becomes 10 after academy’s most likely) I suspect it’s for caddy or Wilson

Nope, got enough unproven tall timber floating around. Bringing in an established ruckman at some point if needed. Absolutely.

The Schoe!

Charlie Edwards, bring him to me

Talk of a potential bolter, late season form as an midfielder seems to be very impressive…

At 190cm he’s looks a powerful quick & skillful inside/outside type…

Have a feeling he’ll have a few clubs after him, hopefully not before our first pick if we keep what we have…

 

[bmaurizio]

Collard , DeMattia either or both would two very good addition, Edwards could be another option. Some quality youngsters to look forward to.
Go Blues

 

[reubsblues]

Explosie pace with good skills is what our list needs who fits the bill in our range ?

 

[GT619]

Charlie Edwards, bring him to me

Will be in our range

It is an excellent year for rucks Read, Edwards, Green, Goad should be certainties and a handful of other possibles around the traps.

Suggestion is that Mirkov’s operation has been successful, it remains to be seen how much that affects his output. While we currently have two developing rucks and a genuine forward/ruck prospect in Lemmey, there is surely no chance of expending draft capital on a project ruck.

I hope not!
