Draft Review 2023 - Revisit the 2023 AFL Draft

[RedmanWasHere]

A bit early for this but the 2022 redo thread was created in the crop's first season.


Connor O'Sullivan's looking like the first player to break out in his second season where, in his first, his debut vs the Roos was his only game.


Watson, Windsor, H. Reid, Dear, Morris, Caddy, Freijah and Humphries have jumped out of the blocks early.

McKercher's settled in to AFL life.
Clohesy and Reville ditto.

All clubs are now accounted for in terms of at least one debutante across 2024-25.

With 86 names to discuss, dissect and pull apart (103 if including last year's MSD,) let the jostling begin.

Croft is going to be a gun. 200cm with elite athleticism and aggression, plus knows how to foot the ball.

Sanders is looking much better up forward. Freijah is an absolute steal. Lachlan Smith is developing nicely, can't expect too much from a 19-year-old ruck even if he does look 35.

I'm still shattered about Aiden O'Driscoll.

He's a real bummer hey.

I saw a screenshot of an article over the weekend on Aiden and how he's not written himself off.

I've seen an interview about how he's consulted with a neurosurgeon who thinks he can get back in the game. Unfortunately the neurosurgeon is Charlie Teo, whose god complex dwarfs even that of his fellow professionals and has had conditions placed on his medical registration because he genuinely backs himself to do the impossible. It's a testament to his ability that occasionally he can, but occasionally isn't consistently.

There is already revisit thread - why start a new one?

I checked and I didn't see a 2023 revisit thread.

Understandable. I missed it as the OP is complete weapon on ignore.

Must be the same with me then.

44 games and 76 goals.

Pretty good start to Logan Morris' career.

Still think that field kicking under pressure is his best attribute.

He's been the focal point this year out of necessity, might kick less goals next year with forward reinforcements coming in but reckon he can have equal or greater the impact playing higher up the ground.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Logan Morris seemingly keeping this draft crop's premierships to himself it seems.

O'Sullivan, Mannagh and Humphries not quite helping the Cats over the line yesterday.

Load up on Maccas young man.

You've earned it for the second premiership in a row.
