Spoiler: Draft Central Draft Guide

Yeh Im not sure on Waterman

He's basically a Mitch Wallis. He's probably worth a very late crack but I'm not sure he has enough height to play his forward role at AFL because he's slow and at 182cm you cant be slow as a fwd

One of the commentators yesterday mentioned his lack of pace too. Just saw his original draft profile and said very good endurance but below average pace so unfortunately not what we need given who we probably have up forward next year. We really need a couple of guys up forward who can close space, create pressure, tackle and lock the ball in to balance things up.

And the chronic fatigue if still even slightly lingering can take out the endurance he previously had.

Doesn’t seem to have O’Driscoll.

Cal Twomey's October phantom is out now, interesting to see that he hasn't got Nathan O'Driscoll in his top 25 and Trew scrapes in at 25.

Will you two get a room - please

 

[11kgm]

Very few big bodied mids in there and lots of short people

Maybe best to load up on talls

Wonder if we can get Adelaide's pick for Francis Fantasia and 6/7

 

[faible]

We should draft exclusively based on how rude someone's haircut is. In lieu of exposed form for the VIC players, I feel this will be an accurate method of assessing their talent and upside.

 

[Vindicater]

What has happened to O'Driscoll? He seemed to be a lock for top ten a few months ago.

 

[Haychh]

Sell the farm Dodo

What has happened to O'Driscoll? He seemed to be a lock for top ten a few months ago.

There is a a substantial variance in rankings at this stage for a number of players.
For example Zach Reid is rated 11 by Twomey, 16 by eDPS and not rated in the top 20 by ESPN.

The lack of a national carnival and u18 comp in Victoria means that players will have a much higher variance in their ratings.

 

[andleanback]

I don’t think O’Driscoll will go high in the first round. Though twomey has rocks in his head if he thinks Downie will go before O’Driscoll and Trew. He’s the only person I’ve seen mention him that high. If O’Driscoll gets taken inside 15 he and nat edwards will then say this years “bolter”

5. Tanner Bruhn

Best position: Inside midfield/general forward
Height, weight: 182cm, 73kg
Recruited from: Geelong Falcons
Projected draft range: 3-15
Preseason ranking: 5

Rationale: One of the standout talents in this draft and would be higher if not for some knee troubles.

Strengths: Precise kick, composure with ball in hand, evasion, agility, speed, versatility to play forward or through the midfield, wins first possession at stoppages, contested ball winning, scoreboard impact.

Weaknesses: Injury history, limited recent exposed form.

Sounds like an Essendon pick

Has the highest bust potential for the first 10-15 prospects imo

and by the sounds of it Geelong are keen. So good chance if we have 6 & 7 to split one into a couple of 1sts.

Evenness of this draft could work for us. Keep Dodoro focused on needs rather than hoarding talent.

6 into a couple of later 1sts
Load some picks up to the Dogs for their 1st

Phillips + O'Driscoll + Perkins + Cox would be a nice little haul.
Esp if we can get 1-2 of O'Halloran, Smith, Constable or Brodie in too

If we end with 6+7 we should definitely try split one of them. Lions might look to try and package up both first rounders due to their lack of list spots. Especially if they are keen on a few of their academy kids.

Would rather we don't grab Phillips otherwise would be happy. Just don't need another short midfielder

Wouldn't Mind Reid a big tall composed backman

Yep let's fix the size issue in our midfield by drafting another midget.

Thankfull he'll likely be gone before our first pick.

 

[Swerving Irv]

What date is the draft?

 

[11kgm]

What date is the draft?

Unknown yet, waiting to see when Cricket is scheduling things then putting a date around it. Plus trade period isn't officially locked in

Looking at the week of Monday, 7 December

 

[TheGrizz]

If we have say 7 and 8, and trade one to Geelong for a couple in the teens for say 13 and 16 (something would have to go back) , i would take Caleb Poulter at 13 and O'Driscoll at 16.

I am big on Poulter, has enormous upside as a big mid with a booming kick.

Jury is out for me as Poulter being able to play an on ball mid, his stoppage work is pretty average. I see him more as a tall winger/ half forward.

We do need a tall winger, could do worse then him


Poulter is the tall mid I've got my eyes on mid-late first round. Probably there at the Pies pick and is a list fit. High impact per possession, can rest forward and take a mark. There is a lot to like. He's not as strong/big/tall as Cripps, but has a power to him and has an aggressive edge to him. I like his scope to develop a lot. From Knightmare

He doesn’t have that quick agility, side step etc that tall mids need at stoppages, it’s hard to develop something like that. It’s usually something that comes naturally to a player.

 

[Zach Package]

It’s like a reverse Ricky Mott

 

[Seb78]

Sell the farm Dodo

Assuming Crows get pick 2 for Crouch.

Would we ask this question.
Pick 6, Francis & Fantasia
Pick 2 & 20

Pick up Hollands with pick 2.

 

[TheGrizz]

Jury is out for me as Poulter being able to play an on ball mid, his stoppage work is pretty average. I see him more as a tall winger/ half forward.

Hence i said upside. He reminds me of a young Ryan O'Keefe from Sydney, who started his AFL career as a 190cm lead up half forward/wing hybrid before transitioning to midfield eventually.
