Draft Expert eDPS’s Cream Of The Crop 2021

[eDPS]

Hello all and welcome back to another exciting year for potential AFL draftees, this thread will be dedicated to all things draft in 2021 and beyond. Be on the lookout for player notes, rankings and a rolling mock draft which have become a staple and as always I’m happy to answer any draft questions you may have.

As someone who could easily land in a Giants jersey, this pleases me.
I haven't given up on the Pies spoon and us snaring Horne, but 3-6 is more likely.

It's crazy how Horne moves. It's kind of like watching highlights from the 70's with the hunched running technique and bobbing head/quick movements, even in that one highlight in the above Roberts video at the 40 second mark.

With the blonde mop and pulled up socks, he moves and looks a lot like old highlights of Keith Greig/Barry Cable.

How many clearances did Roberts rack up? I'm liking him more and more for Hawthorn over the likes of Sonsie, Chesser, Rachele and Sinn. Of course, the Victorians have had a stunted development and all that but still have to take the kids as they are now.

Roberts played forward in his league debut but he is a good clearance player at 18s level

Perfect, Its almost too good a fit for the Hawks I reckon. Just someone to kick it instead of handpassing it around until we turn it over, plus a potential heir to our General Forward hole after Bruest and Gunston get moved on if he ends up with less of a motor.

A few midfielders this year with the ability to hit the scoreboard. Players like Sonsie, Draper, Rachele and Erasmus have that mix.

 

[LLLLLOOOOOYYYYDDD]

eDPS I haven't seen much of Erasmus play, who is his player comparison would you guess?

You would hope he can become a Fyfe type in the long term, like Fyfe he has started as a forward but moving into the midfield now. Right now his kicking is my biggest concern but I’ve been impressed with his ability to not only be consistent but do it in the midfield aswell.

Have you heard anything about Daicos considering not wanting to go to Collingwood as father son?

That's as likely as North not getting the #1 pick.

Surely not.

I hear Sam Darcy had another big game as forward/ruck today. 4 goals in a Scotch win.

Anyone see it?

Yes saw some of the game, my son was playing on adjaceant ground. He moves very well, agile, good hands and smart player. A lot to like about him.

Could he be considered a 1st rounder yet or in calculation ?
where is he expected to be looked at

Suns U19 academy walloped the Lions U19 academy today.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

*cough*

still possible lol Unless you guys think you'll be bottom? lol probably wasn't ideal losing to them. Suppose someone had to at some point.

Sorry mate I don’t know enough about the draft class to place Sam. He looks a very good prospect.

Not that it matters in draft calculations this year, but I thought Harris and Bella were the two best for Gold Coast.

Roberts has a massive engine covering both ends of the ground with ease.

He likes the 1-2 give and go around the stoppage so he can release himself on the outside. Absolute cannon of a left leg so racks up a lot of I50’s using that method coming out of the middle.
