Chatting about Country players

Both you and Michael don't rate Nick Stevens, not worth a mention in the final wrap up?

Hard to rate medium sized defenders especially with no top age form. I wouldn’t say he is that far off it though.

I reckon Sam Banks could be the big riser...

Going to be interesting with the lifting of the draft age too?

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Josh Fahey looked clear best in the GC Academy from what I've seen.
Shame he'll be available in the open draft! (From my perspective)

How much do you think 'intercept marker' as a mid sized player is valuable?
It was Jez Mclennan's calling card as a 183cm player. Only problem at that height is there will always be opposition players with longer arms and bigger reach. Makes it hard to really showcase your 'strength' IMO.

Haven’t had a Rhett in the AFL since Rhett Biglands.

Bazzo would possibly be the all time 2nd Rhett.

Any other WA players that have impressed you yet?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Also, I used to live next door to a Van Rooyen but I don’t think they’d be related.

No Judd McVee? Surprising

No Judd McVee? Surprising

He didn’t do a lot in his WAFL games this year but by all reports did plenty at the champs so it’s hard to get a good read on him myself yet.

Wow, so hardly any KPP currently projecting into your top 30? I guess this is the year to grab one if you need, even if it means a slight reach.

Talls are always hard to rate a year out at the best of times, there are a few names I like that didn’t make the cut and a fair few midfielders still aswell.

My notes from the NT All-stars game

Agree with everything you say on the players but not sure the GC can fit in three NT in with the list cuts , they already have 41 plus are likely to add Atkins, Broad, Davies and Oea ,that's 45 which is probably the most they will get. They will have to cut some more to even get Jeffery and a draft pick in

Could argue that the NGA system isn't working at all by the looks of next years Draft!

thats why I dont buy this 2021 draftee list
the NGAs arent going to just drop off like this suddenly - because theres no vics playing its heavily skewed

Not sure anyone is being asked to buy anything. It's just a fairly early list of names of players that might be thereabouts come next year, more than a solid prediction, I would have thought!

This has probably been answered before but without any trades and assuming Ugle-Hagan is bid on 1st, which picks will be affected for the Bulldogs?

There are a few I still like that are certainly around the mark, I noted 3 players from the hawks NGA just before and 2 of those I rate very close with either having the potential to push up. A handful from WA I don’t mind aswell.

There might be some NGA players I don’t know about either because not all clubs have a list of players in their NGA, could turn out any of those 30 are actually NGA for a club.

There first and second pick in the draft are likely to get eaten up on the bid, Lore would be able to answer that question best I think.

 

[MALTSY]

Does anyone know the backstory of Daniel fahey-sparks. 22 year old 196cm ruck forward who is regularly appearing in the best players for sturt. His profile has chb as his favourite position. Too short for an afl ruck but maybe as a tall defender. Looks pretty solid, fit and aggressive. Port needs a ready to go tall defender with some upside.

He's a ripper and we should be targetting him as a key backman. If we snag both he and Jones in the draft, our back line will have some real depth.
I'm suprised there isn't more talk about Fahey-Sparks..he has far more upside than a player like Brooksby ever had.

 

[Ysaye]

Also, I used to live next door to a Van Rooyen but I don’t think they’d be related.

If you google the surname you will probably get some twin eye candy...not that I have tested this theory.

A) What is the likelihood of Campbell being bid on by North at pick 2?

B) Do you believe Sydney would match that bid?

cheers

Very unlikely but if it did happen I think they would although begrudgingly.

I would be shocked if we don’t call either McDonald or Holland’s name - and I would prefer both over Campbell. Crazy if we rolled the dice on a player we didn’t have in the top 2-3 on our draft board.
