Draft Watcher D_P_S Draft Watch 2017

[eDPS]

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?

Its hard to say, he tends to try to much with his kicks, generally kicks better when he settles and doesnt complicate things. I compare it to a Dangerfield he can just bang it on the boot but when he actually settles its not that bad. He is a dead eye most times at goal has a crazy knack for the goals from all angles

Jack Roughsedge....do you think he'll develop more of a kicking game in time. seems to have an innate propensity to fire off the handball too often. Can certainly find the pill.

He isn't quick which is his main issue, he reminds me a lot of Luke Bunker

He gets way more ball than Bunker ever did.

? Bunker was a ball magnet mate he averaged almost 28 disposals a game

Roughsedge has had some huge possession games of high 30's & low 40's....Do you feel his injury has impacted his pace at all?

I can only go off what i see and i cant tell if his injury has effected his speed since i didn't see him before the injury. As an inside mid he has been superb, his kicking still needs a little bit of work but its not horrible. I think clubs have him as a rookie prospect but i could see him killing it in the VFL and forcing his way into AFL down the line. IF his speed can improve id draft him in the national.

O.K Cheers.....Those games I mentioned were In 2016. Before his injury.

He played 1 game last year and had 39 disposals, good effort because i think he did his injury during that game

Constables early injury would have given his average a hit, pretty sure Mynott averages at least 22 aswell

Got less midfield time once they had all their guns, was dissapointed he didn't get more time in the middle in the first final when he was one of the reasons they had such a good lead at HT when he was in the middle. Spent a lot of the last quarter up forward which made no sense to me

 

[Bicks]

I've seen a lot of Jordan Johnston over the last two years, IMO he's the best prospect at the GWV Rebels this year. I see he hasn't .even made your board. His aerial ability for a medium forward is exceptional, goal sense in spades, good pace, excellent set shot with good penetration. Moved into the midfield rotations the last few weeks of the season and didn't lookout of place in there getting in and under and showing good aggression. If he goes undrafted I will be massively surprised.

Mynott is a private, isn't he?

As far as I'm aware he never played in the side without their guns save for perhaps one game when Metro played and he played for Eastern.

He's a very handy prospect, and it's unfortunate he didn't get the chance to play more finals as Dandenong (who reels in Eastern in the elimination) were a real disappointment against Geelong. Turned their toes up after half time in a big way.

He dominated when the school team had a bye, his numbers where equal with Cerra

Dandenongs defence was horrible they turned it over too much. Also didn't have the midfield depth

He has been hovering in the 60s for awhile. Needed to show a touch more class in the middle but if I'm a club I'd have no issues taking him in the 3rd round

The teams for the All-Stars game before the AFL Grand Final have been released, i had a go at making a team out of the line ups

Team Enright

Team Harvey

Gees, how underwhelming are those teams.

Doesn't help when most of the guns are injured
Dow
Rayner
Cerra
Fogarty
Coleman-Jones
Wooller

Constable and Naughton are most likely being managed. Not sure what the deal is with Mynott thought he would get a go aswell

Well Spargo is out injured. And the Allies had quite a few under agers in their team.

Clayton, as in Jack Clayton from the Lions academy?

If so, he's had a pretty ordinary season and does not deserve a place in the match.
