List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft

[Willo_23]

Just watched Gettable, CDT seems just an impressive off the field as he is on it. Really keen to see how he progresses across the course of the year

 

[_RT_]

For mine Prestia should retire to open up a spot for the MSD. Especially as his achilles doesn't seem to be healing

Seems fairly likely at this point. We seem to have enough senior mids as it is playing Kamdyn there

 

[Richmond Flats]

Draft midfielders (inside + out). We also need half backs. NWM and Sinclair have made a dog sh*t St Kilda team look pretty good this season.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Just read that CDT finished top 5 in the 20m sprint and the 2km trial for the Calder Cannons which is so impressive for a 200.3 cm player. Speed/endurance combo has recruiters doing backflips.

Played hbf in junior football and as a point guard in basketball . So sounds as though he’s had a later growth spurt, who knows there could be more to come.

It’ll be interesting to see how he competes against OHB and Colina on Sunday, very much undersized in ruck contests.

Will get beaten in taps and commit crimes against them around the field.

He had 5 assists (and 9 turnovers) in 107 min of nbl1 last year.

I think he chose football as he’s not making it at as a basketballer.

Like everyone I’ve been caught up in all the CDT hype, and don’t get me wrong I’m a massive fan, but at the end of the day you want to see a player that is competent in the air and in ruck contests.
It’s all well and good to be an amazing ground level player, but he’ll be playing in the AFL as a ruckman and perhaps kpf.

He sort of downplayed his baseball ability on gettable with Cal.

As long as he's not a soft **** and can neutralise the contests and take contested grabs he will be fine if he's not getting 40 hitouts. You want him to be more Rowan Marshall and less Tim English.

Both lose hitouts each week but Roma is competitive and a strong mark around the ground. English would look malnourished in AFLW.

If we don't draft him we want him to be Tim English lol

If he ends up at Richmond and serves his apprenticeship under Nank, no way he’s morphing into a Tim English

 

[Drunken Wookie]

He really is another quality midfielder you have on the ground, which is huge. Disposal is excellent and being that link up player that can also take a mark down the line, hard to ignore the benefits there.

Is he Michael Jordan now?

I read an article about him in the local rag where he basically says he decided footy as he was more likely to succeed at that. Which makes sense to me, I’d rather be an nba player for the money than footy but it’s a nice back up, but raises some queries about his basketball skill set given he’s 200cm athletic freak.

I’m also far from convinced about his footy iq and his hands. He double clutches so many marks and he ends up completing marks at hip height instead of at that the highest point.

He needs to prove he can be a KPF this year imo or be a pure mid.

Have to agree with the marking, he takes them but not cleanly. If he can start clunking them like a tdk or Jackson he’d go another level.

I’m never convinced kicking and marking ever substantially improves tbh. You can’t teach Lynch type hands.

That’s true, probably only difference with him is that he hasn’t had the same amount of junior development in an elite system. All those skills you nail as a junior through repetitive drills are missing.

Can understand that stuff for his lack of footy feel around the ground. But basketball you should be getting plenty of touches and developing your hands, hands through contact and judging flight from rebounds and finishing at rim etc..

I’ve never seen him play basketball, so this is a call based purely on his nbl1 stats, but lack of points, assists and rebounds suggests to me problems with hands and touch, which is obviously also the same problems I see with him at Coates league.

Correct.

A ruckmans best impact on winning is their physical dominance in ruck contents, being able to push forward and impact and kick goals or push back and intercept to chop out opposition attacks.

All three of those things are so much more important than than your ruckman getting some touches around the ground. If we pick a ruck based on possession counts it will be a bust of a pick.

So becomes another Samson Ryan then !!!

There’s only one Samson Ryan

Has anybody seen Samson and Todd in the same room ?

todd elton

 

[Danog]

LDU signed with Norf so no way they can get Band 1 compensation anymore. Time to deathride them even harder.

Norf last
Tiges 17th
Who cares after that

Seriously this just highlights how bad of decision maker LDU is.

the thing is if cdt was 10cm shorter we'd be looking at him as a midfielder and his output stacks up as one of the top mids in this draft. now add 10cm and give him the ability to also ruck. somehow he's now shit and not worth considering.

When is our reserves team named for Sunday
