Analysis 2023 Draft Watch

[Bletch]

Reckon we had our sights on Hastie. Wilson next up.

 

[Coona Blues]

Arr0w Edwards little indiscretion has certainly played a part here.

With clubs undoubtedly coming hard for TDK in a couple of years, surely we don’t leave him in the board if he gets that far.

Otherwise Simpson, Sanchez and Zakostelsky, would be happy with any of them. The “Smokey” here would be Billy Wilson from links. Carroll enters discussion if no one else slides to our rookie pick.

Think we would be looking at Billy Wilson as a rookie pick, not our next pick

If he gets to us as a rookie, it would be a huge win.

Don’t mind him at all. A bit of H.Young with his dash and that hair. Just needs to solidify his kicking. Will get a solid grounding in the twos.

Geelong trying to top up for a final tilt with Hawkins and co.

 

[marcmurphy3]

That's painful. Cooper the pick after.

Ok…judging by the reactions here…welcome to Carlton the next scapegoat (aka Billy Wilson) no pressure son!

 

[macky99]

Why? How? Wilson over Simpson?

It was a clear choice though, they didn’t even take up the full 5 mins

Agree not overly excited in the choice.

 

[Coops93]

Kicking looks fine in the video.
Decent size kid, looks a decent, intelligent footballer.
Let's see what we can turn him into. Go Blues

Tbf they're not going to show shanked kicks in a highlights video

 

[BigBreakfast]

Handbaggers take a mature age. Mmmmm

 

[The Dochs in]

Could have got a free future third from Freo based on the trade up they did with the tigs

 

[Soapy V]

I don’t think I’ve seen a tougher draft to rank players. I’m really struggling

Wilson looks nice. No issue with selection but many had him late or rookie

Simpson to me looks a top 20 pick

My only question is why we didn’t try for more picks?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I liked the idea of Simpson too, but the truth is I don't know enough about either to judge the decision.

Where the scribes had them ranked is kind of pointless too as you can throw a blanket over these state rep players.

We wanted pace and we got pace. Our rebounding defender stocks are in good shape.

Have some faith.

 

[Coops93]

And Collingwood take Jiath. Brilliant

 

[Wickzki]

Will say that both of our selections scream players we were locked in on very early and although others were discussed (some talk we were high on Jiath and Simpson):


And the Pies pick Jiath.

****ing hell.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Party time in Drugmana tonight!

Don’t mind him at all. A bit of H.Young with his dash and that hair. Just needs to solidify his kicking. Will get a solid grounding in the twos.

If kids are terrible by foot entering a draft you aint changing that now.

You cannot be drafting kids that early that are ball butchers in todays game and look at Dow who we took inside the top 10. He also has the same question marks disposal wise.

VFL player at best.

 

[agro]

I wouldn’t have minded Shaun Mannagh - not sure why Geelong have picked him - they’re chocka block with small forwards - they probably think he can play midfield minutes

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Reckon we had our sights on Hastie. Wilson next up.

I think Wilson defends better than Hastie though.

Trusted with kick ins….

The spot up to top of the goal square showed good vision, IQ and execution!!

We need both F50 connection and line breaking runners with skill.

 

[RPCB]

That selection has brought out the Recruitment gurus

All of those “this isn’t a very good draft beyond the top 10” posts over the past several months have gone out the window just because we didn’t draft a certain player who was still available at Pick 34.

 

[GT619]

I'm still shocked murphy is still there

 

[Navara79]

Tbf they're not going to show shanked kicks in a highlights video

True. In the Simpson highlights video showed has no confidence to kick on his left foot. Will get found out at AFL level

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Rookiemecentral have kicking as one of Wilson's strengths.

Billy Wilson Draft Profile

Dandenong Stingrays vice-captain Billy Wilson is a reliable distributor from the back half with speed and sharp kicking.

[bradfisher14]

If this is the guy that Austin was locked in on you've simply got to back his judgement. Even though it looks like a reach at face value.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

He's got an old looking head on his shoulders for an 18 year old.
