Draft Expert Davo-27's 2023 Draft Thread

White tracking to be a top 10 if not 5

We will see, but I rate them on what I like about their game, not on rumours.

 

[Futbolista]

I thought Darcy Montgomery (WA) was pretty unlucky not to be AA. For a WA player to kick six goals against a Vic C team is rare. Certainly not something us poor old Sandgropers see often if at all. Thought his other two games were good also.

He was in consideration, he should've kicked 7 he missed a sitter late, but his overall champs weren't as good as that last game where he popped off, instead I went for 1 of the rucks as the 2nd tall forw.

Fair call. The other player I really like from WA is tall defender Matthew Becker. I love tall defenders with a calmness and athleticism. It's a bit of a speculator but one to keep an eye on for sure.

EDIT - It's a shame Jake Boniwell was injured . Played a bit of the first game but that's it. He is a good 'un....already playing well for Wesley first XVIII

How did you think Casher Dear is tracking come the end of the season has he done enough to be nominated as father son in the hope if he doesn’t get picked up he could picked as a rookie to develop at Box Hill. As I feel he could be a late developer.

 

[Warhorse]

Appreciate your work Davo-27
Would love your thoughts on the 3 bulldog father sons, West, Cooney and Lake.

Cooney out for the season injured

 

[flipper83]

I didn't see them at the u16s so idk yet.

Ah sorry I thought they played in the u16 champs

I have not seen his school or local footy, at Sandy he looked like a long shot, maybe rookie chance?, it's up to the club at the end of the day.

 

[Davo-27]

I think they played u15s? Which I didn't get to watch.

 

[Miller1971]

Watched 2 of the 3 Gold Coast games and it seemed the 27 Kalani White played in defence, took a few loose intercept marks, looks OK, but not AA worthy, he could've smashed a weak team in the 3rd game?, but he wasn't very influential in either 2 games I saw, Brisbane game was by far the best opponent and I think he took 3 marks in defence and not much else, I don't even think he rucked much at all... so how the fk is he AA? Odd call imo, maybe it's based on pedigree? and hoping he is as good as his pick 1 father?

Way too many div 2 kids in the AA imo

Exactly.

It was politicized for AFL to justify their investment in the Suns and the academy.

 

[Miller1971]

Ok because I found it odd, I wanted to do an AA Team for the u16s

B: Jadd Hill (WA), Cooper Duff-Tytler (VM), Jim Kelly (SA)
HB: Zeke Uwland (GCS), Riley Onley (VC), Xavier Bamert (VM)
C: Lachlan Dovaston (VM), Blake Kelly (WA), Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier (SA)
HF: Jack Harrison (Bris), Louis Emmett (VM), Giuseppe Posterino (VC)
F: Basil Hart (WA), Archie Ludowyke (VM), Dylan Patterson (GCS)
R: Kayle Gerryn (WA), Dyson Sharp (SA), Oliver Greeves (VM)

INT: Tairon Ah-Mu (VC), Jack Dalton (VM), Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (VC), Noah Roberts-Thompson (SA)
Marcus Cassidy (WA), Raphael Geesu (Bris), Charlie Hewitt (Bris), Jobe Scapin (VC), Toby Whan (WA).

VM - 7 (winners div 1)
WA - 6 (runners up div 1)
SA - 4
VC - 5
Bris - 3 (winners div 2)
GCS - 2 (runners up div 2)

Hewitt ineligible, otherwise not a bad effort.

 

[Miller1971]

Just finished watching the Bris A win over GCS A, the players I already mentioned previously all stood out again, but I have a few more players from Brisbane A I wanted to mention as likely prospects

(Dylan Patterson, Zeke Uwland, Jai Murray and Beau Addinsall) GCS A
(Raphael Geesu, Jack Harrison, Daniel Annabel and Charlie Hewitt) Bris A

Lachlan Chambers 192cm forw Bris A 2025 draft
Jordan Chambers 182cm def Bris A 2025 draft
Jack Slater 184cm def/mid Bris A 2025 draft
Matthew Owen hbf/wing/hff 172cm Bris A 2026 draft

Brisbane might have 6 draftable options if they all develop as expected in 2025, they have Ashcroft, Marshall and Hewitt for 2024 and at least 1 for 2026, seems like they are going to have a rich vein of talent coming through in the near future.

The Qld zones are becoming strong.

Well spotted. Thommo 42 is the President of a State League club up here, and Slater is one I see him mention all the time.

He's a sleeper talent, I rate him highly.

 

[Davo-27]

Hewitt ineligible, otherwise not a bad effort.

It was AA for the Champs not specifically for the 2025 draft, for example Will McCabe was AA u16s last year and is eligible to be drafted this year, also Dyson Sharp I think was close to AA last year as an underager.

Cheers I think it's a pretty strong AA Team.

Sharpy was AA on the half back flank last year

He is already physically there like Shannon Hurn or Will Gould prior to being drafted, which one will he be?

[fivestartackle]

I think he is related to Nathan Philactides, im not going to take it personal, friends and family have attacked me for years over my ratings, 1 more doesn't affect me, last year it was Kane Bevans family clogging up my thread, this year it's another players friends or family that doesn't like where I have them ect....

No member of the Bevan family has ever "clogged" up a thread on this forum.

 

[fivestartackle]

I reckon the Bevan posse was the worst we've seen

Seriously?....no such "posse" exists....a very poor unjustified comment - maybe you've been watching too many old Western movies!

That’s some pretty intimate knowledge you have of Kane there, Mrs Bevan.

A suggestion.

When you update your top 50 for 2024 next, can you please put your ins and outs per list?
