Resource 2025 AFL Draft prospects and discussion.

[Fud#3]

Would think the train ons would be there today but none spoke about. Hope it’s mids!!

I'm sure someone has stats, but my gut would be that KPDs would have the highest hit rate as spp or even rookies.

Do many mids make it?

 

[BunjiMac]

So the new Murphy?

Murphy did alot wrong but he did have a booming left boot (at one stage).

Sounds much more like the new McHendry

Pretty disappointed

Tom McGuane cannot possibly be another Lachlan Murphy

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Did I ever say it wasn’t?

It was implied from you previous post imo, your initial was that of 2017 is an outlier then so was 2024, which is ludicrous.

What I said is that you can win with 1, most are won with 2, but we seem fixated on 3. Even playing Burgess to maintain the structure.

Most teams in the league play 3, and I believe most teams see that as I deal setup. The most that play 2-2 model do so because they don’t have a 3rd tall that’s good enough.

Brisbane were forced into it this year, after 3 last year. And it’s just about guaranteed they’ll do 3 again next year.

If you want us to emulate some of the recent premiership teams, can you tell us which of McAndrew, Murray and Maley we should plays as our second ruck?

If we’d won it with 3 key forwards, it’d be an outlier in the same way Richmond’s was.

No that’s rubbish, winning with 3 talls is completely normal , this is very easy to check.

In 2017 richmond had 1 tall forward and 1 ruck, only 2018 Richmond ever got close with that setup.

If we had won with 4 talls in 2017, it would have been outlier but still not as big as Richmond

 

[Thylacinus]

Interesting news regarding McGuane. Is Blake Drury in the mix?

 

[fossilllCrow]

So McGuane is slender but has he showed promise? Let’s have a look at his stats

 

[fossilllCrow]

why didn’t we take Greaves if we’re willing to take on McGuane whos obviously not ready to go.

You’re mixing up genuine ticks with key forwards. Not sure why, I’m clearly referring to key forwards and have consistently done so. And you inferring incorrectly isn’t my fault, I’m bored with you now, you don’t seem to understand the difference between a ruckman and KPF. What’s the point of discussing with people who refuse to understand such a fundamental difference. Take it as a win if you want, you probably need it.

 

[1970crow]

None available would have made any difference whatsoever.

 

[BunjiMac]

If we are offering someone a last chance why not go for someone with a potentially really high ceiling?

This seems like a very long odds pick.
Murphy and Parnell spring to mind.

I’d rather go in a player short and pick someone mid season

 

[LoBu]

I like it, McGuane clearly dropped off over the year but he had shown something over time, good footy IQ is high on my book, a prolific left footer mid, why not if we see something?

 

[1990crow]

Watched some highlights. He looks like a back pocket. Which I guess don't have an obvious candidate coming through.

 

[CDC60]

I wish him well but Patrick Parnell Mark II springs to mind. Would have preferred Greeves or BOB

[CDC60]

1) Collingwood father-son who didn't get drafted

2) Mature ager who previously played a few games for Sydney and may have also had association with the Suns.

One down, one to go

Isn't that Bond?

Bond.

Bond.

Might be pigeon holing him back there.

Well apparently this guy has football IQ. Murphy did not at all

 

[mickfaxis]

One down, one to go

Yep ... the person I spoke to this morning knew McGuane was the man.

The other guy they didn't know the name of but mentioned Sydney Swans, so a few of us have 'Asked Jeeves' and have deduced it could be either Arnold or Foot. Could be neither, and maybe another ex-Swan.

 

[Mutineer]

Taj Murray or Zac Harding for you if given the choice?

Too late Zac harding is trying out for Fremantle.

 

[huludicidal]

Zac Foot turns 25 in December and had a huge season for Southport, including 3 quality performances in finals. It would make a lot of sense for him to be the “midfield run” train-on prospect referred to by Reid - in fact, it makes far too much sense when combined with the mickfaxis info for it to not be the case.

I don’t mind it - has a bit of a Tim Kelly

when the Cats picked him up feel to it. He’s got a lot of tricks and a lot of swagger and is ready to go.

As a general principle, we could do worse than trying to replicate the Cats model of picking mature age talent that is ready to go. Tom Stewart. Tim Kelly
