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.

Josh Gibcus was my standout, was a rock at CHB intercepting a lot of forward entries, some timely spoils and looked very assured with ball in hand.

Herbert moved pretty well, 19 year old so as a smaller mid he might be up against it to stand out to recruiters but playing more games like that every week won’t hurt

Do you think other NAB League clubs are going to go so heavily with the 19 year olds similar to the Falcons today?

Maybe it's just because of the Covid impact last year and will settle down in a year or two?

Yep every club is going hard with 19s, they didn’t get a real chance last year so they deserve the spotlight this year

What sets Arlo Draper apart from the next player mate? He’s one I like the sounds of

He looks a complete package for the modern game. Good height + talent + athletic ability and can genuinely hurt the opposition in all 3 areas of the ground.

He has huge upside and was easily the most stiff to miss the AFL academy

Yep Williams is another good key forward prospect who can also play down back. Both look to be the top key forwards in Australia at the moment which is great for WA

Bazzo looks to have forward potential as well.

In comparison to the top handful of mids, why could he go #1?

The height and overall versatility could push him ahead, perhaps doesn’t have the consistency of those players for the same reason but he could really push them with a strong and consistent season.

Tyler Sonsie top 5 lock it in. Wasn’t even his cleanest game but still would have managed 30+ touches, a mountain of clearances and 2 great goals on his non-preferred. A very own way runner but gee he is damaging

I’d be more than happy to take Sonsie at pick 1

Huge game from Morgan Ferres in the 18s kicking 6.4. He isn’t a proper key position height but very similar to Mitch Georgiadis

 

[JT_the_Man]

Who said you are getting pick 1?

Who said you are getting pick 1?

Or pick 2*

by all reports, best on in the first half of Rnd 1 so far.

Just an all round outrageous prospect.

so many strong kids in this draft and not gym/fake strong, bone structure strong.

so many strong kids in this draft and not gym/fake strong, bone structure strong.

From a North poster at the ground:


* 33C day. Autumn in Adelaide.
* Played in the middle for the majority.
* Almost has a second gear when it comes from running away from his opponent. He was burning away on the wing & it looked like he was about to get tackled from behind & he just flicked the afterburners on. Seeya later. Inside 50.
* Lightening quick decision maker.
* Pushing Fogarty around
* Hard tackler. Took Fogarty down on the Crows defensive 50 which resulted in a turnover & almost a goal.
* Second & third efforts exceptional.
* One kick in the second quarter was a 45m bullet. Would have travelled the whole distance no higher than 10 feet. Was from a standing start as he’d just taken a mark & the man on the mark was non-existent. Sighted an option & bang. Resulted in a shot on goal.
* Second quarter again, dodged around two players & snapped a goal from 35.
* Probably best on for the frost half.

I don't know where you got that from but I watched the whole game and they rarely crossed paths, Fogarty played mostly forward in the 1st half for the Crows with a couple of squirts in the midfield before spending more time in the midfield in the 2nd half especially in the last quarter. Horne looked to spend some time on Jackson Hately if anything and was certainly influential but hardly B.O.G that would have been a toss up between Joel Cross and Bryce Gibbs. Still a damn fine effort for a 17 year old mind you.

Is Zavier Maher suiting up for the Bushies this season do you know Ed, not named in the Bushies selected team tomorrow?

Might be playing AFL reserves, he will certainly play for Murray this year though

This is all false. Sonsie will be the player for north.

I’ll be attending 5 games next week, I missed out on so much live footy last year I’ll be dammed if I don’t make up for it this year

 

[Boristown]

Saw that Billy Kolynuik was named in best for the Jets. Is he related to former Dogs player, Steve?

The fact there is people suggesting Daicos pick 1 ahead of this kid is laughable.
