Seems like there's an unusually large amount of fringe talent being delisted this year. I assume a lot will be picked up outside of the draft. Might be looking at very few picks happening this year

Very curious about the impact of the free match after 40 being introduced this year, if you aren’t forcing a club to use valuable picks to match, will clubs even bother bidding after 40?

We might see the most players taken by their own teams before dipping out of the draft.

I think Essendon were tossing up between Hobbs and Johnson IIRC

Good thing they grabbed Hobbs.
Hobbs couldn’t hit a urinal if he was standing in it.
TBF his draft profile read a lot like Brodie. If you need a player who wins the ball at stoppage he's your man. If you need someone who can actually do something with it.... 🥴

He'd be a good pick up from what I saw for a club that needs a good inside midfielder. Unfortunately for Hobbs they're quite common and becoming less valuable with every rule change.
 
Hobbs and Lual delisted by the bombers.

Though Lual looked alright this year.
Wow quite a few busts through the teens of that 2021 draft!

In amongst the diamonds of NWM, Matty J, and Ras.

The 20s after Matty are deplorable, every pick is a bust or close to. Only Johnson, MacDonald, and Butler.

Pretty bad draft outside the top 11 that one.

Free match after 40 has been in for years

If a club wants a player then they make the bid, simple as that


Sometimes clubs will let em go, for example, Mac Andrews brother last year was passed on

Was it always straight up next pick or did you need to make up the points last year?
 
Mason Cox has stated that he wants to keep playing for another club.

It would be funny if Mason Cox of Texas only wants to continue his career in Victoria.

Riak. Which I can only ever say in the voice of Teal'c. The Swan suspended for the homophobic slur.
 
Reality is:
If Darcy gets injured, Jackson will ruck. We will play the same 3 tall forwards, one part time in the ruck.
If Jackson gets injured, a mid will come in. We will play the same 3 tall forwards, one part time in the ruck.

If both get injured, we need someone who is a ruck first and foremost.

The unknown is: What if Treacy/Voss/Amiss got injured. Would Jackson go back forward? Would we play shorter? Does Omac come in again? Do they want a ruck who can cover the forward role (I doubt it, as Jackson and Darcy are both in the team).

I think we need a ruckman - not too concerned about the ability to play forward.
I think they'd keep the 3 talls 2 rucks structure the same and omac would come in as first choice. If omac wasn't available maybe it's change the thinking about structure
