List Mgmt. National & Rookie Draft 2021

[Lore]

Hey guys, thought you might like to have this resource on your board (scuse the intrusion!) – mods might like to sticky it so it's visible at the top of the thread

 

[ScrappyDo]

Ned Long has dropped off the face of the earth since getting injured. I dunno how, but we really really want to get another pick inside 25..

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Do you think the list management team and coaches have a WhatsApp or Facebook group where they discuss the potential draftees and prospects like we do? Do they shitpost as much as us?

That’s a name I haven’t heard since the start of the year. I think he had some pretty good attributes. Tall midfielder and could go forward?

 

[snails13]

Hes very talented from what I've heard, but tiny.

Could be riding at Belmont on Saturdays

There is a similar little bloke that wears a helmet running around for Bulldogs that no one wanted because of his height

Chuck a helmet on Lonie and straight swap. See if the bulldogs don’t notice

That's the one. Looks like he was the big climber at the start of the year then got injured and couldn't solidify his rating.

I won’t hold out hope that we get him but I’ll pencil him in as a “pleasantly surprised” if we manage to snag him as a bonus to our pick 9 and NGA haul

 

[snails13]

Can’t see the contract for Chol netting Richmond a 2nd rounder. And if they sign up Talia they’ll diminish that anyway.
CCJ has played 9 games in 4 seasons. And he’s our out of contract. Richmond won’t get much for him cause North can walk him through the preseason draft

Chol got redrafted after being delisted and is now leaving for more game time at another club,no way Tigers get a 2nd Rd pick.

Yes I agree, and I don't see that it's plausible to get an early 2nd round pick since JB and Seb are now staying put. I'd be happy enough with a FRDP and the two NGA's, and there's always opportunity to pluck another Connolly at the end of the draft. I also hope we take another 2 NGA's as Cat B rookies who'd be better odds than another freak from a non AFL background.

I always like the new draftee intake time of year. It signals the end of the old campaign and the beginning of new hope for another season.

Darragh is going to wack you with his stick for saying that.

It's not just his height mate, he could literally be riding at Belmont on a Saturday, that wasn't a joke.

Last I read he was 57kg but might have put on a pitþle since then.

Do they make helmets that big?

That is a tad thin for AFL

Before this 2021 season commenced Angus McLennan and Josh Kyle were rated as our 2 most likely NGA players to be drafted.

Angus was suppose to be a gun. Been injured all year though so who knows how he will end up

Curious what people’s genuine consensus will be. We are screaming out for a classy mid, but us as a club know better then any, that you simply must draft best available in the first 10-15 picks. Do you take coffield over naughton cause you need midfielders and don’t have a need for key backs? Do you draft McCartin over Petracca because key forward is a bigger need then a mid. The list goes on. I’m all for taking the best mid, but only if they are seen to be best available at our pick. If the first 10 picks Pan out like this what do we do?

1-north: Horne-Francis
2-pies: nick daicos
3-dogs: Sam Darcy
4-gws: Finn Callaghan
5-suns: ben Hobbs
6-crows: Josh ward
7-Hawks: Tyler sonsie
8-blues: Josh Rachele
9-rich: Josh sinn
10-freo: Neil Erasmus

all midfielders taken before us baring Darcy, whose the next best mid? Chesser? Draper? Roberts? Or do we take the best key defender in the draft in gibcus and hope the 2 academy boys can turn into star AFL mids

You would have to go Josh Gibcus who is in top 5 considerations. Compared to Jake Lever. Won’t last though.

 

[Ailurus]

Knightmare has Mitch Owens at 26 in his current rankings but notes clubs probably won't grab him that early. Of course Knightmare does do things his own way, Sonsie and Gibcus outside 30 but still of note that Owens is rated highly

He's a tripper I reckon. Obviously watches more footy than all of us, but Owens ahead of Sonsie and Gibcus?

Sonsie has 24 and 2 goals playing VFL and 34 and 2 in his first NAB game and he had him rated at 3 at that stage.

I'm not sure how Owens has managed to rise so far without playing too?

At least he doesn't just follow the crowd, I'll give him credit there.

He mentioned they both could be traps. Gibcus potentially not being a high impact player. Good but not game-changing and compared Sonsie to Paddy Dow as someone that is very skillful but struggling to piece it together consistently. Chesser and Windhager both missed the top 50. Certainly doing his own thing, but interesting to note he was cautious of these players.

Doesn't surprise that he isn't a fan of Sonsie, Knightmare is known for valuing his contested winning ball players, which Sonsie may be able to play as, but inconsistently.

Bodes well for Owens ability to slot into a midfield then doesn’t it

 

[OxSaint]

At our range I think Rachelle is my pick. Failing that and we don’t rate any mids types at that point it would be Hard to pass on Mac Andrews
