List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft

[Charlie Pannam]

His pace is what you would expect for a genuine gun inside mid IMO.

I also dont think he's as one positional as others suggest, could easily rest inside 50, give you a contest and tackle like a beast.

I think he may have played a SANFL game as a high hf this year.

I don’t mind the Matt Rowell comparisons, but not sure he’s that good.
Rowell tested very well (yo-yo and 2km) , and obviously an elite midfield/ clearance player, you see why he went so high. Be interesting to see how Sharp performs at the combine.
And his head to head battles with Greeves, Annable, Onley etc. at the Nationals.
If he ticks all those boxes, he’ll be hard to pass on.

Cal Twomey reporting Dougie Cochrane has been invited by the AFL to the National Indigenous Academy. He says signs are pointing to Port Adelaide accessing him as an NGA player.


F**K

Such garbage that you can sign a kid up that late lmao

 

[noobermensch]

Sam Swadling has had a strong start to his top age season and continued it with an excellent performance here. The one thing we wanted to see from Swadling this year was an improvement in his composure and decision making with the ball, and while he still had some rush of blood moments here the improvement over all is significant. The rest of the package has always been exciting with his size, agility and nose for the footy every bit as good as it's always been.

After the blowback they get from this draft with all the academy and f/s, I don’t think they’ll allow it. The afl love last minute decisions based on outrage.

Did you see that he had another proposal couldn't tell if it was his or club feedback that finalists start with pick 21. Bottom 10 get 2 first rounders each. Premier gets pick 28.

Jesus. With the number of club affiliated players these days the premier’s first pick would be around 40 lol

Would make it almost impossible to not drop back and have tough periods.

Groupie_ you will like this. This is how the Pies sell their club as a team for 2028.

Daicos, old ass Moore, other Daicos, Houston, a hobbit & 10 of these

Probably would hurt West Coast more than us. They have Reid who will either be gone or checked out in the final year of his deal plus guys like McGovern at fall off the cliff age. Pick 1 will be theirs again.

 

[noobermensch]

Another strong performance from Grlj who's rapidly risen to contend for a spot in the top 10 of draft lists. Its easy to see Grlj's dancing feet and bursts of pace and think what he might be capable of in a couple of years with more maturity in his game and body.

 

[Calcium Man]

Spot on, he's a gun at what he does, where that fits in the pecking is anyone's guess but he's definitely not just performing because he's bigger than kids his age.

These were his Champs stats as a bottom ager against a stacked draft pool.

vs Allies 25d, 5m, 7t & 9cl (BOG)
vs VC 17d, 3m, 3t & 8cl
vs WA 15d, 0m, 5t & 3cl
vs VM 14d, 4m, 7t, 6cl & 1 goal (only played 2.5 quarters of this before going off injured when they were down single digits, went on to lose by 52 lol)

Also had 19 & 4m against the SA under 20 team as a 16 year old.

His worst performance above was against WA who were the weakest oppo of that group. He had better stats than Sid Draper that day and was just a disaster of a day for the team.

Interesting to see where he goes, he's trying to fix the positional flexibility.

Athletically I think he's a lot better than he's given credit for, he just runs weird as he barely lifts his feet when getting from contest to contest around the ground.

Hi Mr Sharp, we all think your son is a top 5 pick too

Did you see that he had another proposal couldn't tell if it was his or club feedback that finalists start with pick 21. Bottom 10 get 2 first rounders each. Premier gets pick 28.

Twomey’s idea? Different from last weeks after finals bottom 4 get 11-14?

Just give bottom teams 4-6 extra list spots so they can turn over kids and state league players and find Campbells and Lamberts etc., drop salary cap floor and let them sell cap space for picks from top clubs and give them extra soft cap room so they get more development coaches.

More high picks are pointless, a top 5 pick and top 20 pick on their own don’t change a club unless they’re a 0.1% player.

Also fix academy bidding. GC finish top 4 this year and getting 4 first round talents shouldn’t be allowed. Max out at 2 if you finish top 4, 3 top 8, and out of finals would depend on how many years you miss. You don’t want GC finishing 12th and get 4 first round talents if they made finals last year or something.

Basically there is still encouragement to develop academy talent but the shitter you are the more you’re incentivised to develop academy players.

I’ll watch this arvo, pretending to do work today.

That's terrible. His answer to making the draft less compromised is to make it more compromised.

Should just be a pure top 10. If you have an academy player picked by another club in the top 10, then tough luck.

I like his physical he is, quite aggressive around stoppage and tackling. This is before even mentioning his run and carry and agility/speed.

It's early, but he looks like a better prospect than FOS to me for all the people that cried about missing him. Faster and more physical.

just finished watching and had the exact same take away, looks like a better across the board version of FOS

There is definitely something in the water at Oakleigh with #5 those feet, I love the burst of speed through the middle.

I don’t think he’s a better prospect than FOS but the comparison is similar. Would be happy to take him for sure.

Another one was you can only match on one top 30 kid per club. This one I think needs to come in although do we want it before next year.

Last weeks suggestion for bottom 4 to have picks 11-14 was better than this week's one.

Feels like Cal given he's an AFL employee is preparing us for some sort of change.

 

[tigs2010]

Grlj is going top 5 probably top 2 or 3.

Hope he shows mummy's boy signs

 

[captain cotch 9]

Why? So WCE can pass on him and Norf can pick him up.....oh....oh wait a second.........SUCKERS!

 

[Barnzy]

Yeah, if he keeps this up I'm more worried about West Coast wanting him rather than him not being a Richmond target.

Hopefully Fred keeps putting up numbers. If it's close on performance for similar types they take him.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Blair likes to trade out of shit drafts and into good ones. A top 5 pick though is different though given the team you trade it to could fly up the ladder.

Who's just above us in the free kick count?
That'll help.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Sharp is an elite prospect. His kicking is fine. He has good speed for a kid his size. Patrick Cripps lacked pace in his draft year, look how that turned out.

Yeah look at how it turned out for Crippa.
"Pick 13 Carlton......Patrick Chripps".

 

[Barnzy]

I think there’s a decent possibility we trade our north pick into next year if we think we can get a good low pick again and if they think it’s a better draft …. People might not like that but it’s a possibility

That's the dumbest idea ever. You don't trade a locked in top 2-3 pick for a chance at a good future pick lmao.

We've already seen how future trading goes sideways for clubs. Predicting future results is very hard. The idea only makes sense if it was a later pick.

 

[RockJobster0312]

If his one wood of getting the hard ball is all he does but he does it really really well, then he doesn't need flexibility. Not commenting on whether we draft him or not as I have no idea, but the Libba comparison would be more than fine.

It’s a double edged sword. The Gold Ticket in the modern AFL are goal kicking midfielders; like Reid and Lalor.

From what I’ve seen of Sharp he has a great one wood, but not a ton of versatility (there’s a difference between being able to play multiple positions and being able to rest in a position in my view).

Yet someone like Duursma who has positional flexibility probably doesn’t have the bankable one wood skill. The elite talent have positional flexibility and a reliable one wood.

I haven’t been able to find anything relating to testing Sharp has done. He doesn’t look quick but he’s certainly not slow. And his endurance appears to be very good, every write up you read notes his two-way application at stoppages, willingness to tackle and one percenters .

Think the absolute elite are able to burst away from the stoppage. A few can power through (Dusty, Cripps). I’m not sure that Sharp has the ability to do either at AFL level.

Where Sharp can excel like the Rowell’s of the game is being just smarter and more composed in the stoppage and contested game.

I also think testing is an indication of possibilities. You can run x time over y meters when a light goes green, but can you read the ball/ game/ stoppage and go when you need to? Applied athleticism is more important than tested athleticism.

That’s all not to say I don’t rate Sharp. I haven’t done rankings yet, but can’t see him not being in the top 5, and possibly at 1. His one wood is just too good and the most bankable for the current draft crop as I see it.
