Spoiler: Draft Central Draft Guide

 

[Milanista28]

what if we trade 6 & 7 up for 1, then 8 back for 14 & 16?

I'm not experienced enough to answer that.

 

[doug85]

I want a player who was born and raised at Gumbuya Park.

Where the city meets the country? A great day out, with mother nature’s friends?

 

[FlyingV]

I'm not experienced enough to answer that.

Also due to your newly diagnosed OCD your brain can’t comprehend splitting up our picks

 

[Bipolar Bear]

I am loving the Tom Powell chatter, he's EXACTLY what we need IMO.

 

[faible]

All over the shop? What are you talking about.

You've come in late to a discussion and then given it a completely different meaning which is why you can't follow it.

You were complaining we were going to take the "less athletic" player, then clearly used it as a negative against Reid, talking down his 2km time, saying any fit player could do it. Whilst simultaneously saying it would be front of the peloton most years, meaning not any fit player could do it.

You're all over the shop.

If you break it down the discussion is around the athletic merits of Cox and Reid and whether they are significantly different. I think everyone agrees that Cox appears to be an athletic freak whilst Reid is a good to very good athlete but not in the freak category.

Whilst Reid is good athletically, Cox is better. Is the difference significant? It may be....it might seem marginal but it might also be the difference between a really good player and ....well, a freak. It's not everything but it's silly to pretend it doesn't matter.

Basically Reid is a good athlete; at least AFL standard for a modern KPD as a good endurance runner, elite vertical leap, and is 2m tall. He can clearly actually football given he's rated a Top-10 prospect and by most accounts has good skills and smarts.

Bruno is just setting up to complain in advance.

I have roots in Bunyip. Fair shithole.

It's no Garfield

 

[carnthedons]

Anyway at the risk of being labelled a mod sympathiser and knowing all of this west/central Gippsland chatter is my fault, we should probably talk about which 18yo’s we’re going to irrationally pin our hopes on again and in due course turn on like the bunch of twats we are

I hate the Henry pick if it happens, happy to stake my (lack of) reputation on this. It's a poor fit when we have very specific needs.
Stringer, Langford, Laverde etc. We have done this already.

Well to start with he is different to Stringer as he is quicker and able to work up and down the ground better as he has a better tank.

Langford would be close but again Henry has that extra pace over what Langford has so he plays a more explosive game.

Laverde would be the closest although again I would back Henry for pace over him and Laverde can play. His issue has been constant injuries so you can hardly say lets not pick Henry because Laverde did not give us what we wanted. If we went down that road we would be saying do not pick a KPF as Gumby fell over.

 

[BomberARMY]

So this is how Carltank supporters feel most drafts? Excited with the early draft picks...

Gumby isn't on our list. Nice reply though Ant. Really well thought out.
Those are three medium forwards, one has turned into a 70/30 mid/fwd.
We don't need another IMO, there's a lot more we should be addressing.

 

[ant555]

I get the feeling the Crows may not bid on JUH. Some talk they would rather pick their guy at number 1 and he gets the $10,000 from NAB.
Also talk that North are odds on to bid at 2. Just a couple of things floating around out there that have no real source. All I can say is absolutely no one outside those inside the walls of the recruiting office at the clubs can pin down what is going to happen and even between clubs there is no actual line of sight on how the picks will pan out. Been a long while since there has been a draft night like this.

Should make for an interesting 3 hours, usually the build up is better than the actual draft.

I am not going to say 100% he is this or that but after speaking to a number of people the confidence in him being able to play half forward or half back and push up to a wing once he has been in the system is high. We do not have much class on the wing and one thing we need just as much as an inside bull is a class winger who can mark the ball and provide some run and also be a threat around goal. From what I know he is not just a half forward prospect.
Not in my first 3 choices either bun I can see the logic and if the X factor hype is right then think Jayden Stevenson at his best.

I'm not even sure what we are arguing about to be honest - Bruno is just pointing out that one is a freak athlete and the other is good. Yet to hear anybody disagree with that proposition.

Thank you for the reply, that's the sort of post I come to expect from you Ant. I knew there was some solid logic somewhere. There's gonna be some Victorian/Tasmanian gems hidden in this draft. Maybe Henry may have dominated 2020 and made himself a top 5 pick? I am more than happy to be wrong about the positional requirement if he turns out to be an elite midfielder.

Makes sense. Even if they do rate JUH the best im not sure why they'd give the 10k to him over their own player

 

[Bipolar Bear]

I'd nearly give him 10k to come to Essendon.

Archie Perkins sounds like a tosser...

 

[Howard Moon]

Are there stats or figures around about the amount of players / success rates between private school vs public school kids in the draft?

I reckon there is probably loads to it, I mean you know, your public school kid who had to work his **** off all the way thru who comes out a grounded guy with super work ethic , or the private school kid who had the best coaches and programs to fast track their development, but may come in a little.. entitled

Read Archie Perkins.. (potentially)

Country v city kids have clear defining differences, how bout private v public schooled?

From a far it would seem you are up against it from the start if you arnt in the private system
