Draft Watcher D_P_S Draft Watch 2017

[HedgeFund]

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.

AFL Victoria's approach to each 19 year old seems sporadic at best. Around May/June they reviewed the status of each 19 year old and categorised them as:

1. To move to VFL/AFL Development due to minimal/nil AFL interest;

2. To remain in TAC due to AFL interest;

3. To play VFL seniors, but able to return to TAC due to AFL interest if the senior VFL team doesn't make finals.

Hamish Brayshaw fits the final category, all other Dragons 19 year olds became category 1 in June, so they became Zebras only.

Young Guns nominations I understand came from the TAC clubs and VFL clubs themselves with some AFL clubs interest in nominations.

Wow - that's pretty.....not.....really....interesting.

To me at least, but I guess each to their own.

Hope his sling enjoyed the photo being put up.

Sorry....Cats recruiting staff only today.

Don't know where to put this but at the SANFL Prelim today and Lukosius is making his debut. First time I've seen him live and geez he looks a player, good pair of hands and not overwhelmed by the occasion at all

Darcy Parish voted as B.O.G universally on TAC Cup radio, in the Cats win over Dandy.....Should definitely get drafted now you'd reckon.

Half right, as usual....

Any other players from that first game that caught your eye Don?....Any players on the fringes who moved themselves up the pecking order?

No not really, the usual players played like their usual selves. Parish is a tough one to rate, his kicking has improved but I'm still unsure how well his style of game will hold up at AFL level. Clark is a top 10 prospect and anyone who doesn't needs to have a good rethink.

For this game Seb Williams keeps impressing me with his speed and agility. Andy Brayshaw is a deadset gun and the King Twins are showing why they are such highly regarded prospects for next year

Hi D_P_S

Noticed in your recent update that Patrick Naish has gone down abit - Any particular reason or others performing better

Also do you have any contact with recruiters and have a feel for the range they consider him as twomey & Bukky are the only 2 people who have him top 10

More a change in how I rate players, I'm leaning towards the more contested players. I've got no idea what recruiters think of players I only hear little things but nothing on Naish

Lukosius 3.2 to half time in the SA A grade finals......Pick 1 2018

It's between him and Max King at this stage. Lukosius is the perfect CHF

Geez, I hope we take stephenson at 4 if he's still there. Exactly what we need in our team.

Some minor changes to the rankings, have added a handful of players on the cusp of my top 60. My top 22 should remain about the same with minor tweaks. 23-43 could change a lot when I have gone over my yearly notes over the next month or so.

May I ask your thoughts on Stephenson's kicking in relation to the other "top 4" players (LDU, Cerra, Dow, raynor).

How bad is it IYO?
