Recruiting Draft Watch - Jones, Bryan, Johnson, Cahill, Hibberd in

[eDPS]

SPS quality as an underager, would be top 5 in this draft based on todays game.

Also thought Kruger was one of SA's best too, marking was very good.

There is some off-field issues with Krueger that clubs aren't happy with, on field he is a top 30 prospect.

Rankine is a special talent in what looks like a very strong draft

 

[Scottie65]

Best players for me

Metro
Stephenson
Constable
Rayner
Coffield
Brayshaw
Moore

SA
Rankine
Crowden
Martini
Petty
Edwards
Hewson

stephenson by a country mile...B.O.G....was silk all game....reads the game so well....special footballer...id love him at the bombers....as a mid/forward.

 

[foj1]

Really like Warp more everytime i see him. What i like is he is not just a hunt the ball inside mid. He is defensive side is organized and finds a man when the opposition has the ball. Played back fot most of todays game and was not often beaten plus still foind a bit of the ball.SMart blue collar player.

did you watch him live?

We need a player like Jaidyn Stevenson in our line up.

I was lucky enough to be at edihad stadium on friday night to witness a dominant display by this very talented and gifted footballer....he has many strings to his bow...can play anywhere...but exceptional playing from the wing and moving forward to kick goals which he ended up with 5 on the night along with 28 very affective touchs...his vertical leap is amazing and his speed is blistering....an excitment machine in the making...hoping we can get an early pick so we could get him on board/

GWS are sniffing around at Tommy Bellchambers, that is the word around Hobart at the moment. Maybe we can trade up to an earlier first round pick if they snaffle him up?As GWS will presumably lose a player worth a high draft pick this year.

Has a three year contract, is playing well, best mate is Hooker and is playing in a position that we actually need more depth in, not less. If that comes off I'd be very surprised, and it'd really only happen as far as I can see if he found out we were getting a new number 1 ruck that would mean no more games for him.

Remember when he was worth a pick in the mini draft?

Yeah Lore I said the exact same thing to somebody else when it was mentioned, then somebody else said it and they don't know each other. Where there's smoke...

Will post a longer post about Rankine in a few days. Can say he is a selfish player.

Any player that could be drafted to an AFL club can be discussed so yeah no issues with this stuff being posted here

Stephenson looks impressive. Great burst acceleration and penetration in his kicks. At this rate, what range would he rank in? (#1 - #10)?

Dead certain to be a top 10 pick imo.

 

[Dons4days]

Where would we predict Rayner to be drafted? Within our reach at this point?
If not, who would be the best true mid available around our current selection?

Top 3 and at worst top 5. Best true mid is Luke Davies-Uniacke followed by Cerra and Dow.

Top 10 most likely top 5

 

[eDPS]

This includes some vision and talk of Rayner, Brayshaw, Sutherland, LDU, Dow, Rankine and Hill.

Just on Brayshaw he is a personal favourite of mine in this draft. He may not go top 20 but he will be a steal in the 2nd round just a smart and skilful player with great leadership.

Love your work D_P_S - some really awesome content being posted in this thread.

Watched the VC v WA game

Couple of guys i liked the look of later in the draft.

Oscar Allen (WA) KPF who kicks goals.moves ok, marks well. 3rd round prospect

Hamish Schumacher (VC) deffensive utility who kicks it well.

The small left footer with the best foot skills out there for VC was another likely type. Floyd iirc

Hard to get excited about VC. so many passengers, Cassidy Parish looks a 60+ prospect. Cerra, Dow, o'brien all very underwhelming.

Wa have a very good spread of small fwds/outside mids.

Will watch theMetrov SA game soon

Just on Schumacher his first name is Angus Yeah I really liked Ethan Floyd's game he has a great kick on him just needs to work on consistency.

I only watched live but I was very impressed with Dow and O'Brien. Dow showed his toughness and quick spread from stoppages and O'Brien showed some great leadership qualities which I hadn't picked up on before.

Would be very surprised if the WA key defender Naughton wasnt in the first first round.

Really like Schumacher skill set. Think hed be a value get in the second/third round.

Naughton ive had in my 30 for most of the year, I slightly prefer Taylor now of the WA talls but both are starting to catch up to Clavarino who hasn't played as well as I expected from the start of the year.

Schumacher was an intercept machine of half back as an underager last year and he has played mostly midfield in the TAC this year. Personally I like him as a defender the most and he should find a home at the end of the year

Whoever gets big Oscar is going to get a very good big man. He's too good to pass up inside the first 30 picks imho. The supply that WA had coming in was very good at stages. The selfish football of Vic Country was very poor.


Really like what Schumacher brings to the table. Reminds me a little of Elliot Yeo. A medium marking defender who runs and uses it reasonably well. Wouldn't be surprised to see him inside that lucrative top 30 either.


Started watching the first quarter of Vic Metro v South Australia. WOW!! That's all you can say about the skillful Metro outfit. Superbly coached, better execution. They have a plethora of mids with draftable qualities, really like the guys who just work and work. Constable, Brayshaw. May not get the high plaudits of a Luke Davies - Uniacke or James Worpel but they would have shot right up boards over the past month at the Championships. Wouldn't be opposed to either of those (Constable/Brayshaw) with our second rounder. Bolta showed some very good signs in defence.
Can also genuinely see what all the hype about Sutherland is about. Kid has great hands and is a neat kick. Forward smarts. A guy with his size who can (apparently) role through the midfield, yeah. He'll be spoken about in the conversation for pick 1 no doubt.

Will be keen to see the last 3/4 of Metro v Sth.A. Liked the work of Sam Hayes in the ruck too.

Good to see you liked some of my favourites in Brayshaw and Constable I have them both in my top 20 they are rippers

Still some things to work on but I'm liking Sutherland more and more
