Where do you see Clay Hall going?

 

[PMBangers]

Wasnt Callow like one of the end picks in a MSD

Yes, why?

 

[PMBangers]

Where do you see Clay Hall going?

Struggle to place him at the moment, I'd say somewhere in the 20s

 

[Jack Richards]

Is McKercher showing he is worth a top 3 pick?

Is McKercher showing he is worth a top 3 pick?

With the impressive/ improvement of guys like Walter, Duursma, Curtin, Sanders, Watson, Caddy it's a lot more competitive up the top end now, personally I still look at McKercher her favourably, but he's dropped down in my rankings a tad recently

From 2-9 it can be bloody hard to place players, reckon clubs will really focus heavily on the type of player they want in the top 10 rather than just best available as it’s so close.

Smartest thing I've read on here (no offence to anyone).

Can you rank them from 2 - 9? And for extra credit rank them on what you think is best for each team based on current ladder position?

WCE, Roos, Hawks, Blues, GWS, Swans, GWS, Dees, Suns.

 

[Keystone agony]

Yes, why?

Really a throw at the stumps from the outfield there

Think Duursma is really the only one who's a question mark over best fit. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Hawks or Carlton. Feel like the rest pretty well pick themselves.

Reid - WCE
Walter - GCS
Watson - North
Caddy - Hawks
Mckercher - Carlton
Duursma - GWS
Curtin - Swans
Read - GCS
Edwards - GWS
Wilson - Melbourne

Not really considering Callow was initially overlooked because he had the same concern of dominating because of strength and size

How i have it (Still needing to see more Caddy)

1. Reid
2. Walter
3. Duursma
4/5. Sanders/Curtain
4/5. Sanders/Curtain
6. Caddy
7. Mckercher
8. N.Watson

WCE - Best Available.
1.Reid
2. Duursma

North -
1. Duursma
2. D.Curtain (Maybe top if they lose Mckay)

Hawks
1. Duursma
2. Dan Curtain
3. Caddy
Then as per list

Blues
Best available as per list. Which would be Sanders. Maybe Caddy slides to back of the 8.
1. Sanders/Watson/Mckercher - Tight call

GWS
There order reflected more so by whos quite happy to go there. So its impossible to know that. They probably dont need Curtain. I think theyd really like the Tasmania prospects of Sanders and Mckercher with assuming less go home factor
1. Sanders
2. Caddy
3. Mckercher

Sydney - Best available
1. Sanders
2. Caddy
3. Mckercher
4. Watson


GWS - see above their order

If Watson is available at where ever we land there is no way we pass. He is the most Caruso type player ever.

Yeh this is just my opinion

As you can see with my order i dont really rate Watson

GWS are really bound by whos happy to go there which is why ive leant towards Tasmanian types for now

Lots of debate on our board Watson V Caddy V Duursma. I think Watson at 2 is a reach as well.

 

[The_General#1]

With SA's champs now done who from SA is inline for a possible All Australian?
Draper
Delean
Goad

I have Duursma and Walters in their own tier, i would like to see a bit more of Duursma but i really liked what ive seen and his stat lines. Moves very well through traffic for his size and very skilled, can obviousily hit the scoreboard aswell. North probably dont need a midfielder but Duursma will tske a while to reach a midfielder at AFL, unless hes a freak, which then your stoked you grabbed him. But, he adds a different dimension to Wardlaw, LDU and Simpkin. He will play plenty of flank and wing early in his career

Caddy could push into that tier, hes one i want to see much more of, i only watched those under age national carnival games of him. People said his kicking was no good, but the short highlight of his weekend performance didnt see much issue on the surface there

Watson i dont even have in my top 8. Hes a tier behind for me

I struggle to have the most developed player whos only 169cm anywhere near pick 2. The only thing helping him is the small guys producing on the AFL stage right now and being all the rage. Butters, Gulden ect. Hes breaking history by going anywhere in the first round

Draper, Delean would be the best chances I reckon, with Ryan and Patton probably their next best hopes. That's not to say Goad wasn't impressive, he just had to share the ruck a bit too much

I would have Patton ahead of Ryan. Patton took a lot of kick ins which inflates his stats. Kick ins are important so they are worthy of the count but sometimes when it's all the time the stat is a bit meh. I thought he fumbled a few times at critical moments as well. He's getting drafted but probably not in the best Aust 22.

Kozi is 171 went 1st round but not in the top 10.

I need a good word for 'wanting to pull a knightmare'

 

[Keystone agony]

Kozi is 171 went 1st round but not in the top 10.

Yeh so hes 2 cm shorter

Be interesting to see who the last player his size or smaller was taken in the first round

Caleb Daniel must feel his draft position shouldve been better if were now looking at Watson as a certain top 10 pick

Agree. They should just use their own threads and not Hijack yours.
