Draft Expert PMBangers' 2021 Draft Board - Come for the R1 phantom (post #1591), stay for the Simpsons references

Honestly not sure what we'd do with our first this year. It probably won't be enough to get Gibcus or Bazzo, Darcy probably won't go that early, and I'm not sure who else we'd go for.

It'll obviously depend on trade period/ MSD, but I still think you need a genuine small forward along with a young KPD prospect. Murley could be the go there as smaller player, despite being a midfielder, there's that scope to develop as a forward if needed. Connor MacDonald another one that's sitting at around 180cm that's got a bit of zip and agility about him, probably more natural up forward than Murley, that would feel about right in that range.

I'd be more of a fan of the dogs trying to trade up to a pick around 10 where Bazzo is likely still there, but then someone like Rachele may slide a bit as well and fill that small forward role

If Jacob Edwards were to enter this national draft which round do you think he'd most likely go in?

I'd take him in the first, given his movement and ability as both a forward and Ruck he might be the first tall taken in that situation

What is your opinion on Fraser Elliot from the oakliegh charges
Saw him play for Richmond reserves on Saturday looks
Promising
Thanks

I'm hoping if we don't trade more into the first round that he's available with one of our second rounders. Seems like he'd fill a few of our needs quite comfortably.

PM Bangers, What do you think your club will do with their draft hand in the coming draft? Seems like you've been gifted the golden egg...You mightn't end up all that high so might have a mid table pick...You will most likely land Fahey after your first pick, and to top it all of Magpies have given you a top 5 pick, for peanuts. A sackable offense which is why Ned Guy most likely doesn't have his job any longer. In any case, do you think you'll go with youth and pick the best kids or look to trade to bring in high end experienced talent? It seems an endless circle that GWS are playing with , at same point they need to put chips on the table and entice a difference maker that might win a flag for your team. What are your thoughts ? It will be interesting...

Yeah has a little bit to him, he was one that got a full game in the guts in the Colgate young Guns Game which is usually a decent indication he's got some interest at AFL level in that spot. I personally haven't seen anything gives me much confidence in him being much more than a depth player at AFL level

I reckon if we found a good player that we could fit in our salary cap we'd trade them in, but we don't exactly have a great history of drawing in players that require that much in a trade.

That's about the extent of it. So jealous the Magpies cut that deal for the one club that certainly don't need any more draft picks. I can't think of a better word than moronic to sum up that trade by Collingwood. No wonder they're in liquorice all sorts right now.

Twoomey has just mentioned on exchange that Darcy is considered by some as in the elite rung of prospects and he'd be surprised if he doesn't get bid on prior to the dogs pick lol

Does that comment mean you don't agree? He seems to have been garnering some decent press recently.

Not that I don't agree, I just haven't seen the school performances which have been his best. I was impressed with him against the Ranges and the Jets though and promptly moved him into my top 30, so I'm hoping we get to see him back in NAB League with more Ruck and forward time which is where he's been doing his best work apparently. I'd hesitate to put him top 10 off of 3 performances though which is the part I'm more apprehensive about agreeing with

Another for Eastern is Harry Flynn starting on ball aswell. Made his senior debut for his local club and got in the bests.

Edit: For Oakleigh you have Will Elliot and Hudson O’Keefe who are both talented 200cm players.

Jess McManus

God I hope Freo pick him next year.

That's a good Dockers name right there.

Last year I was working on a writing project where the protagonist had to have a close loved one move across the country. I wrote her brother as a footballer who got drafted to Freo. His name was Jesse Clark, feels like a Freo name.

He's a Key Defender, that's a pretty Dockers draft prospect in general

I hope he has long blonde hair.

Finn Callaghan might be the first Sandringham player taken if he keeps this form/ improvement up, proved himself as an inside midfielder today against Western Jets

 

[briztoon]

Anyone have the score in the Lions v Knights game?

Knights are up by atleast 40 I believe. Anthony Caminiti a late comer to the Knights squad from school footy (Carey) has been hard to stop at full forward.

84 to 25 half way through last I think

I went down and watched the 3rd quarter, saw he was playing inside mid. From what I saw he only got a few disposals and wasn't dominant. Conway on the other hand had s huge 3rd quarter, really got the jets going and Paul Curtis was on fire up fwd.
How was the rest of Callaghans game?
