Mid season draft 2024

[Meteoric Rise]

There are three candidates and if you don't know them by now then it confirms you have no interest and are being a troll.
Are you going to be consistent and hold every other poster accountable?

Errr...about 300 players will nominate for the mid season draft.

You are the one telling us how right you always are so often, so I am interested in testing your claim.

 

[Coach_Required]

If we’re pinning our hopes on the MSD, then prepare to get your hopes up.

Got to start somewhere because we are so far back with what we have it's no longer funny.

You never know Eagles picked up Maric in the MSD and he has been ok so far.

Take one of the young players with upside....

Not interested in these 25 year olds that would still need a bit of work over a couple years to be decent at AFL level

 

[fargothegreat]

How old

25 in around two weeks

Davidson's actually only 22.

Here is a writeup on him from our website:

73. Sam DAVIDSON

13-Dec-2001 (22 years old), 1st year in program, hybrid forward/wing, 190cm

Local club - St Kevins Old Boys (VAFA)

Originally from Melbourne and a St Kevins College alumni but has spent the past few years on medical placement in Gippsland as part of his studies. Has been playing for Maffra in the GFL during this time and impressing with his size, run, clean hands and versatility. Due to return to Melbourne in 2024 for work and to try his hand at VFL football. Is an elite runner with an excellent work rate.

Different Sam Davidson I think, as that one was only 180cm and from Adelaide.

Ok that’s the guy alright as I just checked. I just went to DOB not realising there was another one floating around. Hilarious

So which one is it then the short ass slow bloke or the fast bigger albino

 

[TigerImposter]

I would have him Wing / HFF. It looked like he started forward today , but in the third Kmac went into the guts and he pushed up more. His height is actually deceptive as I thought he was shorter than 190cm. Moves well and beautiful hands.
It will be interesting if we go for him.

The faster, stronger, highly skilled and high jumping albino mate 190cm.

Will Elliott , Matt’the opening bats son 202 cm FF was a MSD chance last year , has had a couple breakout games for bullants ,,,

He’s a big chance and so to is a small forward from Essendon.

We’re desperate after last night mate. I’d even take Reece Conca the Melbourne Runner.

 

[_RT_]

And have them take up list positions of better prospects in the National Draft??

You do know that they are recruited as rookies and don't actually take up a senior list spot.

Wasn’t he lining up for the Bushrangers season just gone?

 

[THE_GUN]

Well it will be interesting on what we do in the PSD now that MRj has been confirmed with syndesmosis and they usually take 10-12 weeks bringing that to the end of the season and with MRj habits of getting heavier whilst kicking back

Do we take 3 picks and keep which ever players show the most ?

He was oakleigh u18 last year , first season senior footy

I don't get it. what part of those stats stands out?

 

[Bojangles17]

His last 2 games . These are his first 5 rounds of senior footy , not 255 so get some perspective perhaps

I mean it's a pretty good start but would you draft players based on 2 above average games in the vfl? he's doing better than may and people wanted him... so maybe?

Problem is you slowly start to fill the list with guys that probably won't make it because you really do need to give them at least an AFL preseason. Then all of a sudden you risk just adding list cloggers to the list, particularly if you've gone mature age.

Hence why I say take young players with upside or don't draft at all. 3 is pushing it, probably filling the list with too many state league level players isn't a great thing.

My bad , just googled him, has an older brother Sam who plays Cricket for Vic Bushrangers

Really depends on the players you take

Say for example we take Howe with our 1st and Skaife is still available at our 2nd pick and a mid at the 3rd or even a small foward then you get a good look at them for the rest of the season and see them close up
Sure they wont all make it if any but always easier to hit a target if you have 3 shots

Can always delist end of the year if not upto the level
