Draft Expert Davo-27's 2021 u18 Draft Thread

[Davo-27]

Are Levi and Aiden Fyfe brothers?

probably? i have not looked into it, i really like how Levi plays, really aggressive and clever, his disposal is a little loose, but if he fixes that he could go reasonably high potentially.

Who should we be grabbing as a Lobb replacement?

 

[Giant Strides]

Rory Lobb

Doesn’t Fremantle have Benning in their Academy

 

[Davo-27]

Who should we be grabbing as a Lobb replacement?

i only know the younger players, i dont watch state leagues much, the best option this year is Toby Conway, next year theres a few good rucks, Broadbent and Condon from WA, Howe from Vic Country and Isaac Keeler from SA who has a similar play style to Paddy Ryder.

 

[theGav56]

Doesn’t Fremantle have Benning in their Academy

Yes we do, but he looks a couple of years away, and I don't really see him rucking at the higher level.

 

[briztoon]

Yes we do, but he looks a couple of years away, and I don't really see him rucking at the higher level.

Every potential KPF in this years draft is probably a couple of years away, some more so than others.

Amiss isn’t going to come in to the league and play like Ben Brown from the get go.

 

[Davo-27]

Benning looks more likely to be a KPF or 3rd tall forward type that leads onto the wings and pinch hits in the ruck, i think he is ok and can develop into a good player with his good athletic traits, but doesnt seem to get into the play enough to be a star or anything imo.

Agree. Looks athletic but slow.

 

[Smythe]

Agree. Looks athletic but slow.

yeah, fast twitch athlete with currently no tank for the game. Alot of traits similar to Mac Andrew but a long ways back from that level. Will be a few years AT LEAST from being able to play the ruck/fwd role at top level, but if he can get it all together, get a tank, put weight on e.t.c he could be anything in that role…but yeah…years away from it, but big upside to watch and keep an eye on.

 

[Davo-27]

a guess as to what might happen?

1. Coll - Nick Daicos (bid)
2. NM - Jason Horne-Francis
3. WB - Sam Darcy (bid)
4. GWS - Mac Andrew
5. GC - Finn Callaghan
6. Adel - Hobbs/Ward/Erasmus (maybe keen on Rachele)
7. Haw - Hobbs/Ward/Erasmus

Their socks with their ties.

I’m messing around, this trade week is doing my head in. I want it over with so we can move onto the draft. I’ve posted this thought twice to get bites and only you two have picked it up

I’m ashamed to say, nobody on the Richmond site has picked it up yet….

Ben Brown didn't play like Ben Brown this year.

It took Jonathan Brown 15 games to take the game on forwards take time

I don’t believe any of this years forwards are in Brown’s league.

What's Andrews ceiling?

 

[briztoon]

What's Andrews ceiling?

Different body shape and football strengths, but you’re hoping he’s similar to Jackson at Melbourne. A ruck forward who can impact around the ground.

 

[Davo-27]

SA V WA - 3rd match, 10 point win to WA

bests:
WA: Dittmar, Sheldrick, Browne, Tunstill, J.Williams, Jones, Hough
SA: D'Aloia, Roberts, Linke, Burgoyne, Ferres

what i took out of the game was that Roberts is looking less likely as a top 15 pick, J.Williams is not looking like a top 30 pick, Tunstill did really well (improving his stocks), Dittmar is such a tough midfielder/forw(improving his stocks), D'Aloia looks great for 2022, Ferres is decent but wish he kicked more goals, probably Burgoynes best game in the series, Sheldrick just works his butt off every game(improving his stocks), Linke showed he has some ability(improving his stocks), but overall not a great contest and lacking a lot of the high end talent.
