List Mgmt. 2026 AFL Draft

[tigs2010]

Felt like today (when you take out club tied players) was stacked with small fwds, outside runners, rucks and KPFs.

Can sometimes be game style but think important to finish our inside midfield off this year with exception of adding Armstrong.

Did you mean exception or expectation?

Exception. Finish the midfield except we would add Armstrong next year

Outside GC I can’t see teams giving up F1s unless it’s for players. But it’ll be Collingwood, Hawks etc… trading future picks.

Malady's movement and clean marking was difficult for his opponents to handle, seeming to pop up in space whenever team Boak broke forward and capitalizing to the tune of 5 goals. Malady didn't have the most consistent season for Gippsland, but a strong performance in the first Champs game for Vic Country and this excellent outing stamp him as one to watch in 2026.

some zippy clean users delivering it to him from the midfield, just what we need

Noah turned in a dynamic and exciting performance and was named best on ground for his victorious Team Boak. He was especially impactful early, playing on a wing and using the space to take territory with elite pace and regularly hitting up targets inside 50 with pinpoint disposal. He was a little quieter later in the game, not quite as productive after a move on ball, but showed more than enough to have draft watchers excited for what we might see next year.

Last year we traded Brisbane picks 32, 42, 43, 45 for their pick 20. It always seemed way overs.

Brisbane picks 2025: 18, 37, 40, 46, 49, 61, 72

Would've been handy to get one of their throwaway later picks this year back for Kellaway

We won't need a pick for Kellaway...

Would luv to get Barker this year and Williams next year.

Statistically one of the best performances from the Futures game came from Marlon Neocleous who was typically hard working and involved in a number of forward moves for Team Boak. His radar was a bit off with his kicking, particularly on forward 50 entries, either under or over kicking his target a number of times. Still, he kept popping up in the right spots and was rewarded with three goals including a goal of the day contender from the pocket.

Neocleous sounds like a plague in a Zombie Apocalypse.

His radar was a bit off -

I think the burning focus is improving the chemistry in our midfield that looks as pedestrian as all get out . Dashers is what we need
Sharp
Griij
Are the must haves
I am nervous about an SA boy as first pic but I suppose worst case is u improve your investment if they leave , so let’s do it

Love your use of the word dasher

Sharp is not a dasher though ... he doesn't break lines with foot speed or foot skills tbh ...

Only way I see us taking Sharp is if we trade Hopper for a dasher ...

Then again could the appointment of Jack Magden indicate that we are taking both Cumming and Sharp who he coached at the Adelaide Academy?

 

[hammer180]

What do you think the chances of us trading our 2027 first for essendons 2026 first, with bewick likely going top 3 in the 2027 draft?
Would love to draft another 3 players or so and tanner in next yrs draft.
Maybe hopper for Collingwoods 2026 first?

Weirdly he reminds me of Zorko

It didn't quite come together for Dougie in the Futures game. He didn't get any midfield time, played exclusively forward in the first half. On a number of occasions he created space on the lead but the hit up kick was short or over his head. When things aren't going your way you have to find ways to impact and he did do that with three direct goal assists and a major of his own. In the second half he was moved to play key defender, a role he hasn't played all year, and he struggled to have an impact. The future couldn't be brighter for Dougie but this is a game he'll move on from quickly.

this is the player we need. based on this small sample i'd put a line through grlj and get this guy next year. runs straight lines instead of doing 360 pirouettes and going sideways and nails forward entries.

I don't agree though he does look clean

Hope so

Tanner started slowly but got better as the game went on, ending up as the equal game high possession winner. He went up a gear with a shift into the midfield in the second half which saw him take over at stoppage, regularly winning the footy and feeding it out to his runners. He's a super hard worker with an ability to get from contest to contest and find space on the spread, as well as the composure, agility and low center of gravity to find pockets of space in traffic.
