Draft Expert PMBangers 2023 Draft Thread

[BeornJ]

With Pick one West Coast pick Harley Reid, bitches!

 

[PMBangers]

Could Zane Duursma challenge Reid for the no.1 spot throughout the season. Has all the tools..

I think he could if he really takes a midfield role by storm which he'll get the opportunity to do pretty early on. They've both got different strengths and RFIs, but Duursma's kicking is more impressive, if he can start to show it more it could push him up

 

[JGreezy]

Any concerns about Harley Reid being an early developer who falls back to the pack as others get stronger?

From what I've seen, Watson looks great. Is it just about not drafting someone that short too high or is there another weakness to his game?

 

[GWS Goose]

A lot can happen over the course of the season, I expect the rankings to change substantially throughout the year. That said, I love seeing the early rankings and watching how opinions evolve is interesting.

Certainly I don't think he's got much development left in terms of strength and power so there's a slight concern in that regard, but I'm optimistic on the fact that a lot of what he does is more technique/ approach based than size advantage based, even without the one-on-one grappling contest stuff he's a ridiculously good prospect. TBH, given how proven he us already as a contested player, I'm almost more keen to see him used on the outside a bit more so we can see where his fitness is at, and whether he maintains a similar impact away from the contest

Watson's height and how it translates is the main concern, but naturally you always want to see a bit 'more' from forwards at junior level, how he goes in the midfield or backline would be interesting given how Caleb Daniels career has panned out, and a little more team focus at times wouldn't hurt

If melbourne lose Pickett, I reckon we'll be all over Watson. Whatever it takes.

Carlton need Watson tomorrow night

Carlton need Watson tomorrow night

We ALL need some Nick Watson immediately

 

[Sphynx]

Ryley has been in our NGA Academy and training camps since u/12's fwiw.

Purely around his ethnicity eligibility, I would of thought that's pretty straight forward.

Would be better off at Geelong - pair well with Holmes.

He will go top 40 anyway

So was Keeler and Munkara this time last year.

Is Alex Tsia a genuine small forward, or a mid who's pushed forward because he's short?

The times I've seen him play he's been a forward that's pushed up the ground a lot and rotated as a midfielder

Maybe. You can hope

A very strong start to the Coates season by the Rookie Me Central team. Both written and podcast analysis are great. A much more broad view than the usual repetitive gaff we get from other so called experts

Before the stats come out what are peoples thoughts on the Oakleigh vs Lions game?

O'Sullivan and Jagga were dominant, very exciting times for Oakleigh. I think the Brisbane academy are the worst 18s rep side, looked lucky to get the goals they did. Not sure who he was, but 27 for Oakleigh had a day out.
