Rookie Pick 9: GWS – Nick Stevens
  • Index
    • Rookie Pick 9 - GWS

    Nick Stevens
    GWV Rebels
    Tall Defender
    192 cm 84 kg

    A good sized defender that plays tall or small, has a lot to like about his game with the major concern being his contested groundball work, which I'd be hoping he doesn't have to be apart of too often anyway. Particularly attracted to his speed for his size, and like the other picks I've made, his composure with ball in hand, which allows him to make the best decision more often than not

    Also considered: Harry Sharp, Aiden Fyfe, Josh Green

    • Rookie Pick 10: Melbourne – Callum Park
  • Index
    • #10 Melbourne - Callum Park (190cm, 74kg from Glenelg)

    I just really like him. I did last year, and I still do this year - I have him in the top 50 mix again.

    Still on the skinny side, but he has put on about 7kg since last going undrafted last season - so he's on the right track. Despite that, he had a really consistent season playing league football for Glenelg. His last 6 weeks were particularly impressive as a rebounding half back where he averaged a tick under 20 touches and 10 rebound 50s. Excellent foot skills and makes good decisions. Has the versatility to play off a wing too. I must be missing something because I think he shows a lot of AFL potential, and I don't think he's that far off Will Day as a prospect from last year.

    There were a few others I considered - the other top 50 player I had left was Patrick Walker, who I have as Tasmania's best prospect. I also like Matt Allison as a decent tall option. But I had to go with a South Australian and Callum Park beat out Mitch Duval, Jacob Wehr and Beau McCreery.

    You should have called Jackson Hately given Crows didn't!
     
    Rookie Pick 12: West Coast – Jack Avery
  • Index
    • Pick # 12. West Coast.

    Jack Avery. 190 cm 84 kg . Defender / Midfield. Claremont

    Avery is a player that I was tempted to pick with both my two picks in the Mock but I, mischievously let him go to see if any others rated him.

    A player who has hardly received any attention, or acknowledgement on Big Footy and many won't know who he is, or just how good a season he had in 2020.

    That's not totally surprising as he has over the last 12 months come from obscurity as a player no one would have had on their 2020 " to watch list" , myself included.
    Secondly he has, out of necessity been played, out of position, at CHB due to Claremont being short on tall defenders.

    He played well enough to get named in the Colts Team of The Year at CHB, where as a primary defender he still managed to average 23 possessions per game.

    Claremont were under the pump in the Grand Final from a rampant Subiaco who were dominating centre clearances.
    So at half time Avery was thrown into the midfield.
    He finished the game with 33 possessions.

    I am an avid Claremont supporter and I have watched Avery live a lot this year and was both impressed with his game and frustrated that he wasn't played in the midfield.

    Needless to say Avery was a favourite of mine, so any accusations of bias, are duly owned by me.
    Those on the West Coast board will know of him as I have been banging on about him for the last two months.

    Ok what does he do well:

    He finds the ball and hunts his own football.
    He reads the play well particularly in flight, consequently he is an out standing intercept mark.
    On the ground he is very accomplished below his knees.
    His left foot is a real weapon, its long and flat and very accurate.
    Some of his ball movement has me seeing some Trent Mckenzie and Grant Birchall moments.
    He is hard at the contest and is rarely beaten one on one when the ball is in dispute.

    He does need to work on his endurance.

    His development week by week in 2020 caught the attention of AFL Clubs and consequently he received a late invite to the State Combine.
    He has had several Clubs contact him.

    Jack is a Gold Coast Suns fan, but has said that he will gladly move to any Club thats willing to give him a chance.

    There are some kids that I feel for, as the Covid shutdown has deprived us of seeing how all the Victorian kids would developed.

    Was looking forward early in the year to see how Clayton Gay ( Dandenong ) and Liam Conway ( Western Jets ) came on.

    Gay in particular was on my list for both of my late picks had players I wanted been gone.

    Rookie Pick 13: Collingwood – Taj Schofield
  • Index
    • Pick 13 - Collingwood select Taj Schofield (WWT Eagles/Port Adelaide F/S)

    POSITION:     Outside Midfielder/Small Forward

    Taj Schofield is a Port Adelaide father-son prospect who made the switch from Western Australia to South Australia, after earning All Australian honours at the 2018 Under 16 National Championships. Since then, he has joined Woodville-West Torrens’ and Henley High School, while making the South Australian Under 18 squad as a bottom-ager. He plays predominantly through the middle of the ground but does some of his best work as an outside receiver. He is often seen at either end of the ground to be utilised as a link player in attacking forays, or as a deliverer to leading forwards as he has shown capabilities on either side of his body. The son of Port premiership player Jarrad, Schofield has long been a highly-touted prospect and a mainstay in the AFL Academy pathway, thus earning a National Combine invite in 2020.

    STRENGTHS:

    • Disposal efficiency
    • Football IQ
    • Cleanliness
    • Work rate
    • Tackling
    • Agility
    IMPROVEMENTS:

    • Strength/size
    • Inside work
    • Durability
    Schofield’s bottom-age season was impressive where he averaged a touch over 18 disposals and more than four tackles per game. He featured in the Under 17 Futures All-Stars game and even though he was a little quiet, he showed glimpses of his elite ball use and cleanliness at ground level while moving at pace. His 2020 season hardly deviated in terms of stats from the previous season, playing 12 games including finals. Unfortunately, he was ruled out early in two of them with hamstring niggles. He did not record a full game where had less than 15 disposals, but in his top-age season there were not too many big games from him in terms of accumulation. Schofield’s best effort came in Round 12 where he recorded 32 disposals, one goal, four clearances, and seven inside 50s. He did show more of a willingness to hit the scoreboard this season and that is an area he will look to continue to develop in the future.

    With a 178cm and 72kg frame, Schofield’s size does not quite match up to some senior players and even to other prospects in his draft class, including 191cm teammate Caleb Poulter. He can continue to look to build on his strength and explosiveness, as well as his key weapon which is his slick ball use. He often relies more on agility and awareness, before spearing short kicks on the move. Building on that could allow him to become a role player for teams as he develops. Improvements to his strength and explosiveness will naturally better his inside game and ability to win his own football inside. He has typically found the ball in more uncontested situations and kicked at a higher rate than he handballed. His transition to AFL level will thus most likely start on the outer, or even up as a small flanker who can dart short and precise passes along the line while contributing at ground level.

    To go with his disposal efficiency, ability to get around the ground, and move the ball forward, Schofield’s ability to gather below his knees and make quality decisions demonstrates his quality on the outside. The defensive pressure he applies around the contest is also key to this as it proves he is not just a front-runner, as he is prepared to tackle hard and smother. He has the potential to develop similarly to Brisbane’s Hugh McCluggage, who started predominately as slick wingman, but has started to become a first-rotation on-baller who gets regular shots on goals. While his disposal is usually sound, like McCluggage in recent times, refining that finished product under pressure is another area of improvement.

    • Pick 14 - St Kilda - Jackson Hately

    If we're not having a PSD as part of this mock draft and he isn't selected by anyone in the rookie draft, given he's not eligible to be selected as a delisted free agent and needs to go into the draft.

    Hately is a lock and load, round 1 best 22 player and provides Steele and Crouch immediate support. My view is he's worth a late first round pick in this draft. So the pick is a straight forward one, particularly with none even inside my top-45 remaining.

    I also considered Connor Ballenden, Matthew Kennedy, Marty Gleeson and Noah Gown as other delisted players, all of whom I touched upon in my YouTube video today. They all in my view represent based on my analysis far superior value to those remaining in the pool at this point.

    Not sure around the protocol is around this for the Phantom Draft. Do Port get the chance to match Chris25 ?

    Not too many in this draft with his skill level to go with his athleticism. Pity he's not 8 -10cm taller and 10kg heavier.

    Yep. He's a little smaller than Collingwood would like, but honestly in terms of his skillset and what he brings, that part of it is exactly what I'm looking for if I'm the Pies.

    Given it's the Rookie Draft I presume he's just mine but thought I'd check.

    Yea didn't bother with as in my eyes he's a crow, especially as we don't do a PSD here.

    Yeah Schofield is yours.

    Yep Hately is as good as a Crow. One of the only pre draft rules was he isn’t available for that reason.

    My understanding was that if Schofield slips past the ND then Port would be able to auto-select him as a rookie with our last rookie pick. Is that wrong?
    Click to expand...
    Nope that's correct, but it's more Port should have to use the pick on Schofield in this scenario seeing as we all have just the one pick. Macca19 are you wanting to take Schofield with your rookie pick and I'll just pick again?

    For the basis of this you keep him, ill pick someone different
     
    Great effort all.

    So will ND go as deep as 67 picks? Will clubs pass to keep a list spot available either to take an extra rookie list player or perhaps for mid-season drafts next year?

    Clubs could invite a few to train to try them out.
     
    If Hately is joining Adelaide that should be mentioned in the OP, as the PSD is still a component of the draft.
    If Adelaide forgot to rock up on draft day and take him in the PSD, or take him with their first rookie pick, he would be free for anyone to take in the rookie draft.

    I'm more than happy to pivot towards the recently delisted Ballenden for the Saints who is my next best available player.
