Provisional 2025 Draft order

Time for Petrucelle to be delisted and move on.

Best thing will be not having to worry about the spelling of Petrucelle

Mate, half the posters on this board can't spell Hewett correctly.
Perhaps we need to cut 90% of our list based on this board's inability to spell their names correctly.

Despite what the clowns at Rookie Me Central think, I think right now he doesn't last past 8. If he has another couple of similar games, he will plant himself firmly in the top 5.

I've never seen phantom drafts so far off reality.

Rookie Me Central on Sharp:

"He's going to go bald by 22, eww, can't have him top 10."
"He gives me the ick."

In reality, he's in every club's top 3.

I doubt clubs will take 1 dimensional mids that have no pace and accumulate to barely above average levels with top 3 picks.

There was a go on here a while back spelling Yeo, Y-O. So might need to find a replacement wingman, Matera is pretty hard to misspell.

 

[eaglespremiers]

I don't think there's a single poster that I would necessarily want cut from this board and haven't since the age of Alphabet or Ian Dargie. Often we are very much arguing nuances on here and I'm perfectly happy for another poster to hold a contrary view to myself. Often our differences are simply what we emphasize or notice, rather than us being completely at odds. As long as we always remember that we all on the same side.

I can't say that for the entire Bigfooty site though. There's a particular Richmond supporter on the trades board that presses my buttons significantly with his continual trolling and another, apparently unrelated, Richmond supporter on the SRP who is an absolute nutcase. But I hardly frequent the SRP board (as it is a massive echo chamber) so I'm happy to let sleeping dogs lie in that regard.

David Hart was in my draft but then he was removed due to the risk of added e.

Might have to upgrade Gaff to the wing, Hart to emergencies. Bones to the bench.

[Ruben Grubarb]

I doubt clubs will take 1 dimensional mids that have no pace and accumulate to barely above average levels with top 3 picks.

He (Sharp) has the ability to dominate games through contested possession at u18 level. He plays like Cripps. Transitioning to the next level for his type of player is hard - because if you don't end up elite, you're almost useless.

But he has what most of the others don't have - the potential to control games at AFL level. Those guys don't hang off trees. You typically can't get them outside the top 5.

Also, he's not meant to be an accumulator. He's a bull. Wins the clutch contests and often gives his team first use of the ball.

I think you and Rookie Me Central are delusional. Unless he has two poor games, he's going top 5, probably top 3.

If that's your understanding of Sharp, how much different is he to Smilie who went #7 last year & for quite a while was touted a top 2 or 3?

Not trying to be a smart arse on 7 being outside top 5, it was more about several clubs bypassed Smilie last year chasing more dynamic run and carry players than a centre bull.

Or is this a case of clubs picking to need rather than best available?.

Cripps is slow, 1 dimensional and not a good kick. Ditto Fyfe, Priddis & about 90% of all brownlow winners if that's your justification.

But he has what most of the others don't have - the potential to control games at AFL level. Those guys don't hang off trees. You typically can't get them outside the top 5.

No players outside Rucks and KPD have the opportunity to exert that much influence on games considering even the best clearance midfielders get stuff all clearances a game at maximum.

Cripps has gone at his peak(and Carlton still cant win a game of footy):
Centre bounces 4/30 13%
Stoppage clearances 6/90 (6%)

Also, he's not meant to be an accumulator. He's a bull. Wins the clutch contests and often gives his team first use of the ball.

IDK, last champs game he went at 37% contested rate. When he actually had to get his hands dirty in Game 1 he only got 20 disposals. Hardly dominant numbers in his "preferred position".

I think you and Rookie Me Central are delusional. Unless he has two poor games, he's going top 5, probably top 3.

?? They usually do a pretty good job. But for me he has done nothing in the SANFL league and while that's not the most important thing he hasn't really had the consistency across all grades this year to be the top 3 players in the country.

Sharp has a better first few steps and is more dynamic by hand in my mind. The rest of the champs and till the draft will determine rankings. Smillie was also a monster size vs his compemporaries, had a poor champs and didn't really develop a huge amount during the year.

Smillie probably had more high end draftable attributes but his first few steps weren't great and his production wasn't high enough imo which is why he slid. Smillie by my reckoning is probably a better kick however despite being 195cm Sharp is a better mark, has him covered over the first few steps, brings others into the game and is much better defensively.

In saying that Smillie was likely playing against better opposition so the real challenge for Sharp is to go on with it at the champs and then go back to the SANFL and play some quality matches at league level.

Even before getting to style of play, Smillie couldn't get his hands on the pill to the level of a real top end player.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I wouldn't give up pick 1 or 2 because that's our currency to get Gold Coast gifting us Ports first rounder.

The draft is shallow for Victorian clubs. For W.A it's a stronger one. If Rodriguez and Curtin can chuck a Sheezel and we can work our future 2nd to create 4 top 10 picks id ge doing that and fnding a way to get 4 top 10 picks

A draft of Sharp, Duursma, Rodriguez and Curtin may be the way to go

Do you know what confirmation bias is? It's when you have a view point and to confirm that view point you go and find an example that confirms it, while conveniently ignoring all examples that are counter to the view point.

1. Lalor - bull
2. FOS - balanced
3. Smith - balanced
4. Ashcroft - balanced
5. Langford - bull
6. Draper - balanced
7. Smillie - bull

You just bypassed 6 examples that don't back up your point, and cherry picked Smillie as if the others don't exist.

They ended up picking the biggest bull in the paddock at #1. the whole top 7 is bull or balanced. There's no outsiders there. Other player were deemed better at the time. I also had all of those 6 before Smillie.

 

[bzparkes]

Do people actually watch Sharp play, or just go off the fact he's an 'inside' player?

Last week he played forward, inside, linked up on the outside, etc.

He's not a one-dimensional clearance player whatsoever.

It's nothing to do with Brownlows. Cripps and Fyfe are among the best players there is over the last 15 years. Priddis wasn't so much a bull, more an possession monkey and extractor.

Rucks and KPD's control? Have you not watched Daicos play? Bont? Danger?

It's almost like you'rejust arguing for the sake of arguing.

Just draft Sharp
