Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Jeffcrowe]

There’s going to be some pretty good U19 football to watch in vic next year

 

[StonesThrow]

So Callow, Baldwin, Kolar and Maher none of them picked. Going to be a juicy supplementary draft first pick once Gibbs goes

Why is it so juicy if no clubs were willing to draft them in either drafts? Doesn't this tell you something?

 

[StonesThrow]

Where has FAITH gone?

 

[betterthanu]

Not a lot of content from the club so far other than canned highlights. Considering most are SA based i would have thought we would see some interviews by now.

 

[GROTTO]

Where has FAITH gone?

 

[longdonkey]

Think I might be getting nervous if I was Murphy, Stengle or to a lesser extent McAdam. Bringing in another 2 small forwards when McHenry and Jones are possibly going to play there too would lead me to believe a few might be surplus to requirements.

 

[Vader]

So what happens with Gibbs now. Does he stay on the list all year. Does he play for SA or AC in SANFL?

He goes on the inactive list after the final List Lodgement, and then plays for South Adelaide in the SANFL.

 

[Vader]

South Adelaide

he will be delisted before mid season draft

We can't delist a player mid-season. Players are contracted to 31st October each year.

We can, however, place him on the inactive list and select a replacement.

 

[Crow till I die]

Where has FAITH gone?

And Brett?...ahh my bad, he'd be over on the GC board acquainting himself with his new supporter base now that Hollands is there

 

[Danger in Texas]

Wonder if we already have someone in mind to list as soon as Gibbs is finalised?

We very well could, IMO

Kolar wouldn't surprise me, I'd probably prefer Maher or Lake though

 

[SuperBashBros]

So do we get first pick in the supplementary mid year draft or does it go by ladder placement?

Some really good options for us to look at with Gibbs spot. Pretty smart by us really. Put some of his payout money outside the cap and then free up a spot for mid season draft.

 

[MRB37]

Why is it so juicy if no clubs were willing to draft them in either drafts? Doesn't this tell you something?

With shortened lists clubs seemed more interested in keeping the talent (or not having to delist and pay out) they had rather than bringing fresh blood in on the rookie list.

 

[Vader]

Think I might be getting nervous if I was Murphy, Stengle or to a lesser extent McAdam. Bringing in another 2 small forwards when McHenry and Jones are possibly going to play there too would lead me to believe a few might be surplus to requirements.

Sadly, the reality is that not every player makes it. We will select the best of them, and those who don't make it will subsequently fall by the wayside. At least we now have depth in those positions, allowing us to pick the best player available on form & ability - where previously players were selected by default, because we had no alternatives. Now there is competition for positions, so they should be striving to make themselves better, in order to win/hold a coveted spot in the 22 ahead of the others.

I wouldn't be worried if I was McAdam. Pretty much cemented his spot in the side last year playing an important, versatile role in our forward line

The other two I agree with, though

 

[Bearded Clam]

Surely people could see this coming from Kane? He would have been loving this! He was pushing for McDonald so he could have ammunition up his sleeve but when the draft panned out as it did with so many SA lads, he would have have been looking for ways to dig the boots in. I doubt he slept much last night just thinking up the ways to stick the boots in.

The only reason Kane wouldve wanted Adelaide to pick McDonald is so he could spread rumours every year for the next decade about Logan wanting to return to WA...

 

[Redline]

I am happy overall with what we have done although I would of like a live pick today. Having said that I still think our list Management is a problem, even without the pandemic I think we attacked the wrong draft for top end talent.

I was also hoping we might have got Collingwood 2021 pick.

Probably by ladder placement at the time, rather than end-of-2020 ladder, but the AFL's media release wasn't exactly clear on the matter.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB JACKSON

EDIT

Our pick was the ONLY pick in the entire preseason draft

A draft just for us!

That's pretty cool

 

[Mego Red]

Clubs were only allowed to draft 1x 17yo that year, and there weren't 18 clubs back then either. KMac may be derided for not being Pavlich, but he was still the 2nd or 3rd best of the 17yo kids drafted that year.

Any player not selected last night has been rejected 70+ times (59 selections, plus 11+ passes).

I think one of the strangest Crows stories is around McGregor and Pavlich.

Every single club passed on Pavlich as a 17 year old, including Port who took Adam Morgan

. At least McGregor actually amounted to something. Not sure why it's always us that cop the "you didn't draft Pavlich" stick.

 

[norway blue]

Luke Parks looks decent from Glenelg.. handy pick up for Carlton, plenty of upside.

We hope so Stan. He certainly can mark and play taller.

Adelaide was the only club to even contemplate selecting Pavlich. He simply wasn't on the radar for any other club. Adelaide made a conscious decision to overlook him, and for that mistake we've forever been tarred.

It's a shame really, because it's cast a shadow over the whole of KMac's career. Most of the 17yo selections that year were complete failures - KMac had a very successful career, in stark contrast to the rest of this small group.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Port really want that SANFL flag with Goldsack on the rookie list

 

[Mego Red]

'Wanted' is not the word I would have used observing him, he gave off the distinct impression that he was 'scheduled' to attend.

Hopefully we can turn whatever pick Melbourne/Carlton/St. Kilda give us for him into a decent replacement via trade next year

What a weird opinion.

Poor bastard is a bit introverted and suddenly everyone seems compelled to say stuff like this publicly.

My favourite player at Glenelg, reads the ball beautifully and intercepts well. I think he could be a hidden gem for you guys.

It is not a Supplementary Draft. It is a signing period - you can sign anyone who has been through the draft process and currently is unsigned by an AFL club. So folks train with you and you sign whoever you think is worth the list spot.

"The AFL also confirmed the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period (SSP) will return from January 6 and run until March 9 on the eve of the 2021 season "
