Draft Expert Davo-27's 2023 Draft Thread

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Just watching Gippsland v Dandenong, Billy Wilson is killing it playing inside mid, great speed, Tew Jiath making some smart plays and using it alright, wish he was quicker though, Demattia also deceptively quick and tough, Duursma and Archer Reid playing well also.

I thought his games in the championships were under rated. He always looked composed and has a good step to get out of trouble.
 
Davo, can I have an update on a couple of my boys from Calder please mate

Garcia was a late, rookie prospect but feel he's thrown himself up in lights after a reasonable last month and a half.

Mo Taha is the other, couple on the Essendon board think they may not even be worth a Cat B spot, any insights?

Taha lacks a bit of athleticism and I think he is a long shot at this stage, I have liked Garcia all year, but he doesn't do enough, he is clean and always impactful during games, but I think he doesn't get enough poss or kick enough goals, one of those types that goes missing for half a game, he can play though, might be a rookie chance? because he has ability, he just lacks consistent 4 quarter footy.

Duursma is next level, absolute class.
 
Jordan Croft is a jet. 22 is an absurd ranking
Bulldogs getting another freebie. Super jealous. 200 cm forward who moves like he is 190cm.
Athletically has all the tools, ability wise is a bit rough around the edges, can't kick at goal accurately to save his life and is just competitive in the ruck, plenty of room for improvement, you're picking up an athlete who you hope develops his craft, rather than a finished product, he also gets so many free kicks because of his height, umps give him frees for nothing pretty much, he will get used to that at the Dogs.

Collard is a flashy player, but couldn't get into a game at the champs, struggled with the step up in quality and pressure, he could be good? has speed and good goal sense, but a bit of a risk and so likely getting drafted late or rookie I would guess?

Hood to see Michael Rudd has moved up your boards a bit. He has been consistent since Nat Champs. Saw him lead the Falcons to a win on Sunday. Impressed
with his running.
Big tank. Saw George Stevens too and reckon he deserves to rank higher. He is
so
strong and consistent.

Pretty high on George Stevens would love for him to fall to Port but don't see that happening.

I really like Caleb may's aggression... I think someone will bid on him in the 2nd round
 
Billy Wilson
I have liked him for over a year, reminds me of most of the running halfbacks at Hawthorn, quick, looking for link up handballs or to get it up the ground after a run out wide or in traffic, competitive and has decent defensive running and positioning, his midfield performance and speed through the centre gives him another string to his bow and looked good against Gippsland

I really like Caleb may's aggression... I think someone will bid on him in the 2nd round
Caleb May is a good sized ruck, has been a regular performer for the last 2 years or so, played a role as 2nd ruck for the Allies this year, could be a good young ruck if Syd are in need of 1 to develop?, should come cheap as there seems to be about half a dozen rucks who could get drafted this year.

I'm hoping Saints go Caleb Windsor with our 1st pick. Looks very talented.
He has been on the fringes of people's lists for 2 years, it was his performances at the champs that boosted his draft stocks, quick aggressive run and long kicking all good traits for a wing imo, showed he can step up under pressure at the champs which helped him push into top 30s/40s, he is in that pick 16 to pick 40 group of talent so depends on what clubs need which will determine where he goes I think.
