Draft Watcher D_P_S Draft Watch 2017

How do you rate Stephenson's inside game and ball winning ability? He seemed to play quite outside in the Champs but his numbers have been really strong, especially over the past month or so.

Been a mixed bag for Worpel, his last month hasn't been great but their are reasons for that that have recently come to light for me so my rating of him now would be a tad harsh. I still feel he goes in the top 30 especially with players that play like him in the AFL finals playing well.

I don't think there is much development left in him especially body wise but by all reports he is a good leader and he may be able to develop other parts of his game in an AFL system.

Personally can't see the wraps on him..medium stats and poor disposal. Yes he loves a contest but hasn't had the impact he should've.

He loves a contest, he was played on the outside mostly because that's the best use of his pure speed but he has a desire to win the ball and I've seen him beat some stinger midfielders this year on pure desire for the ball.

He has shown in the last month that he has no issues winning the ball all over the ground, only issue is his disposals aren't at a great quality compared to the other top prospects but they don't have his pure speed and ability to dominate when resting forward

Does anyone know anything about Alex Paech & Thomas Schmusch?
Which is the better KPD and why?
Seen a clip of Schmusch and am I right in saying his kicking is questionable?

If Stephenson develops the bulk and power, could he become a Nat Fyfe type player? Fyfe isn't a good field kick either.

He is a lot quicker than Fyfe I'd compare him more to a Dangerfield, it's hard to find a comparison I'm sure Stephenson will be a player on his own that future draftees will get compared to, he is unique

Both are rookie chances, both have had up and down seasons.
I've honestly not dug deep into them since the Championships with both falling of my radar

Playing in a trade game and want a KPD but most of the KPDs i know have been taken.
Think all of them that are on your list have been taken.
Are they my best options?

Here are the teams for the Young Guns game on Saturday, Noah Answerth the noteworthy name who missed after a nasty injury at the start of the year. I've had him in my top 40 or so all year

Curious as to the purpose of this match & how it is picked? 3 Sandringham boys picked, are they not playing in finals this week.

Would assume they are players coming back from injury that aren't 100% to play in a final

What kind of player is Answerth?

 

[eDPS]

What kind of player is Answerth?

Zac Jones type. Very tough, good speed with a good mix of attack and defence, mostly played HB but he did get a little bit of time in the middle and looked pretty good. He is a type of player every team would love he is tough, courageous, disciplined and loves to take the game on while also working hard to nullify his opponent. could be a little more polished at times but he is the type of player you watch and just love, someone who will do anything for the team and his teammates.

My review of his game in Round 1, he copped his bad injury in round 2

"Answerth would have to be one of the toughest players in the TAC and is courageous and never shies away from a contest hitting them at full pace. Answerth was all about attack whether that was attacking the ball, the contest or going for a run and running through anyone that stood in his way. Answerth is quick to shut down dangerous smalls, while providing rebound run himself. Used mostly down back, he did spend time in the middle where he looked just as good. Answerth is quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch."

Did Tristan Xerri play Vic Metro, I thought players who played in the U/18 Champs ineligible? Hard to see the purpose of the game?

Yeah he did, quiet a few of those players where in Metro and Country training squads aswell. Would seem its not a factor in being eligible

One is a Zebra (nearly 21 years old), one is a 19 year old we aren't allowed to play in TAC any more, the other didn't make our squad of 27 for the preliminary final.

Intrigued to see where they play Ari

Why would the 19yr old not be able to play TAC and then be invited to play this match?

Isn't the prerequisite to stay playing TAC as a 19 yr old interest from AFL clubs.

Therefore must have interest to be playing this match.

Doesn't make sense.

Any idea where and when the game is being played?
