[Smythe]

I'm going out on a limb here to give my personal favorites.
It is not a ranking system (i dont care where they go in terms of draft pick number).
It's merely an exercise in mentioning who I personally like, as players, eligible for the draft later this year.

BLAYNE O'LOUGHLIN - 173-74 - one touch - silky - multi positional
HUGH STAGG - 180-80 - tough - attacks hard - tackles hard - multi-positional
FINN CALLAHAN - 189-82 - lovely mover - great skills
JOSH GIBCUS - 195-84 - interceptor - good 1v1 - rebounder
CAMPBELL CHESSER - 186-83 - clever - moves well - positioning
JOSH FAHEY - 186-78 - runs through the lines - gains meters - attacks hard
MATT ROBERTS - 183-81 - bull - clearance king - tackles hard
ARLO DRAPER - 185-71 - clever - finds goals - good hands
LEWIS RAYSON - 182-69 - speed - efficiency - breaks the lines
MATT JOHNSON - 191-80 - mid bull - great hands - smooth mover

My two equal favorites overall are Hugh Stagg and Josh Gibcus as i love the way both go about their
business in their respective roles, and their development this year is showing their potential

AUGUST TOP 50

There has been some moving and shaking in the rankings this month, and some gut feels towards the end of the list with a few other names very stiff to miss out. With the announcement of possible champs games ahead it will be interesting times. I have Benning slotting in at 50 is mainly through his outstanding athleticism, willingness to tackle hard and he has shown very good work above his head and below his knees in limited exposure, but in a year where there are not many big guys with his agility i have him in at 50.

PHANTOM PREDICTION WITH PICK SWAPS

ROUND 1

1 - - JASON HORNE-FRANCIS

GWS TRADE PICK 2 AND FUTURE 1ST AND 2ND, TO HAWKS FOR 5, 21 AND FUTURE 1ST

2 - - NICK DAICOS - HAWKS BID - COLL MATCH
3 - - SAM DARCY - HAWKS BID - WB MATCH
(WB do a deal with Bris trading out pick 23* (which would now be 25) and future 2nd, 3rd + 4th for Bris future 1st, 43 and 62, WB maximise pick 25 and bris gain points for next year and utilise the pick they would lose next year for nothing into getting points for the bids next year and pick 25 this year.
4 - - FINN CALLAGHAN
Hawks get the man they wanted
5 - - NEIL ERASMUS
6 - - MATT JOHNSON
They like Rachele but this is too high, without a viable swap they will keep this pick. They are keen on a taller mid with inside and outside skills BUT also composure which puts Johnson in the frame
7 - - MAC ANDREW
8 - - JYE AMISS
Erasmus is gone and FWD line needs filling, they take Amiss here before either of WCE, Rich or Ess get the chance to think about it
9 - - BEN HOBBS
They have liked Hobbs for a while, with plenty of outside runners available on their list, a bull, a grunt, a clearance machine is what they need to feed the ball out
10 - - JOSH GIBCUS (GWS TRADE 15 + 21 TO FREO FOR 10, 61 AND 69)
Gws get both of their men and keep points for a Fahey bid match
11 - - JOSH SINN (BRIS GIVE STK 16 + 20 FOR 11 + 2022 3RD)
(Brisbane like Sinn and he will not last till their pick with Essendon also keen, so the swap was done to get their man)
12 - - JOSH GOATER
Tall mid with a high ceiling fits the bill here, they have mids to deliver the ball I50 once Josh bursts away from the pack and gives them the ball
13 - - JOSH RACHELE
With Goater and Sinn gone, Ess like Rachele as he is a very good small forward who applies tackle pressure and can be a game changer off his own boot, Ward is a consideration but do they need another small mid. Could Knevitt go this high?.......possibly.
14 - - ARLO DRAPER
15 - - NASAIAH WANGANEEN-MILERA
16 - - JOSH WARD
With the want to stay in VIC, i can see Ward going here to STK, its not really a slide as in between Callaghan at 4 and Hobbs at 9, Ess is the only other VIC club with a pick and they do not need another smaller mid, Rachele projects as more of a small fwd at AFL level who could drift into the middle. Ward would be a good fit here at STK. Can an interstate team talk him around though.....if so, he should go earlier up the order
17 - - JACOB VAN ROOYEN
18 - - MITCH KNEVITT
A tall ball winning mid who is not slow, has good athletic traits and a big potential upside, i cant see him getting past Syd here especially with that area of need, **will he get to this pick though??
19 - - CAMPBELL CHESSER
20 - - SAM BUTLER

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

Wilmot is in consideration but Butler suits a need after booting Lonie aside in the delistings and they have already got their mid with WARD earlier. Will they go a defender here though??

ROUND 2

21 - - LEEK ALLEER (FREO GIVE 21 TO PORT FOR 2022 1ST)
Freo maximise this picks value, Port get a young backman with extreme athletic ability and huge upside to fill a hole in the def left by Hartlett and Lienert
22 - - RHETT BAZZO
23 - - MATTY ROBERTS
24 - - TOM BROWN
25 - - DARCY WILMOT (BRIS GIVE WB 2022 1ST, 43 + 62 FOR 25 AND 2022 2ND, 3RD + 4TH)
Wilmot is another that Bris like and he would suit their style of play, and they gain points for next year to match Ashcroft and Fletcher bids at the same time WB get extra points for Darcy bid and dont get 25 wiped away for nothing **this bid gets done early before the Darcy Bid, maybe even before the night starts...see above at Darcy Bid.
26 - - JUDSON CLARKE (RICH GIVE HAWKS 28,29,30 FOR 26 AND 2022 2ND)
A small forward who tackles hard and pressures well but also kicks goals, they like Clarke and would want to pounce before Carl or Haw got him first, and they also score another early 2nd rounder in the bank for 2022
27 - - JESSE MOTLOP
28 - - TYLER SONSIE
29 - - BLAKE HOWES
30 - - NED LONG
31 - - MITCH OWENS - WCE BID - STK MATCH
32 - - CONNOR MACDONALD
33 - - LACHLAN RANKIN
34 - - COREY WARNER
35 - - JOSH FAHEY - GEEL BID - GWS MATCH
36 - - TOBY CONWAY
37 - - COOPER MURLEY
38 - - ZAC TAYLOR (Rich give its own 2022 2nd to Geel for 38)
39 - - ANGUS SHELDRICK
40 - - LEWIS RAYSON

ROUND 1 MONTY'S

HORNE FRANCIS
DAICOS
DARCY
ANDREW
GIBCUS
CALLAGHAN
JOHNSON
HOBBS
WARD
RACHELE
ERASMUS
WANGANEEN-MILERA
AMISS
GOATER
SINN
DRAPER

I would be surprised to see any of these guys fall out of the first round, if i was forced to pick one that had most chance of missing it would be Draper due to his recent injury, but i think he did enough this year to get picked up in the first round.

DRAFT RISERS since start of the year

SAM DARCY - From nowhere to top 3

MITCH KNEVITT - Is definitely close to first round, and i think he will go in the first

TOM BROWN - Will come close to consideration by a few at the end of the first but should be the first one called out by Geelong

MITCH OWENS - Not much exposure but burst onto the scene and will command a bid early second given his scope and upside

ANGUS SHELDRICK - just dominated his year and again in the champs games, is a small mid but can get fwd to kick goals

LACHLAN RANKIN - Started high enough on boards then drifted into obscurity but showed he has AFL traits, speed, smarts and crafty skills and wouldn't surprise me if he went in the second round

LEEK ALLEER - Come on in leaps and bounds this year, disposal not great, but athletically gifted and reads the play very well. He will go in the second and maybe early on.

RHETT BAZZO - started year slow after being rated highly last year, showed no confidence in himself, went fwd, then back to def and got better every game, coming from outside my 50 earlier in the year to be in early 2nd round contention

DRAFT SLIDERS since start of the year

MATTY ROBERTS - started the year ranked very high, and although he may still go late first early second there is a chance he goes mid-late second, mainly due to speed. but has smarts and a good footballer.

JOSH FAHEY - started the year rated well inside top 10, but no exposure and injury held him out where he may be bid on in second round instead of top 10

SAM BANKS - again, not much exposure and injury held him out, has great footy smarts, good decision maker but where will he get picked and when??

MARCUS WINDHAGER - There was talk of an early second round bid but another injury at the wrong time may just see him not bid on at all and slide to rookie draft pleasing STK fans

TYLER SONSIE - He certainly has skills and is a good footballer who kicks goals and has good mid craft but not a two way runner yet and far from it There was talk of easy top 10 most of the first half of the year but now most likely second rounder, having said that, there are clubs at the end of the first round that like him, but would he even be best available at that point....

DRAFT SMOKIES

ARTHUR JONES - showed glimpses of magic but will his size deter some

JOSH CRIPPS - showed his athleticism at the combine and when not injured he played good footy at times

ANDY MONIZ-WAKEFIELD - has super skill and evasiveness (melb next gen)

JAI SERONG - at a weird size not big enough for KPP and too big for MID, he has good athleticism and mix of endurance and speed, no discernable position yet though

TAJ WOEWODIN - super athletic, has hops and he had a good year. He cracks in every game and should have a father/son bid matched by melb late, or may go earlier given the end to his year

RONALD FEJO JNR - he is one of my favorite movers in the game. not a big contested game but a super evasive, weaving and darting through traffic game with possibly the best foot skills in the draft pool alongside Wanganeen-Milera and Rayson.

OVER-AGERS GARNERING INTEREST

MITCH COX - Fwd and a tackler who kicks goals, late draft/rookie chance.

EAMON WILKINSON - Again, small forward provides lots of pressure, rookie chance.

CHARLIE DEAN - Third round onwards chance. Best young player medal in VFL.

LEEK ALLEER - Stormed into early second round chance.

TOBY TRIFFETT - Rookie chance, showed good form this year.

RONALD FEJO JNR - see above in draft smokies

JOSH CRIPPS - see above in draft smokies

ANOTHER VERSION WITH DIFFERENT PICK SWAP IDEAS

ROUND ONE
1- - HORNE FRANCIS
ADEL GIVE GWS PICK 4*(CURRENTLY) AND FUTURE FIRST FOR PICK 2 AND FUTURE FIRST
NO BRAINER, GIVE THE KID HIS NAB PORTFOLIO ALREADY
2 - - DAICOS (ADEL BID)
WB - TRADE 23*(CURRENTLY) AND FUTURE 2ND TO GEEL FOR FUTURE FIRST
AGAIN A NO BRAINER, THEY MAY ACTUALLY MATCH IT BEFORE THE BID IS FINISHED BEING READ OUT
3 - - CALLAGHAN
ADEL MOVE UP AND GET A BIG MID WHO IS AN EXCELLENT MOVER
4 - - DARCY (GC BID)
ANOTHER NO BRAINER, NOW TO TRADE BACK INTO THIS YEAR
5 - - GIBCUS
SUNS GO FOR A KPD WHO IS THE BEST AVAILABLE FROM THEIR LIST OF NEEDS
6 - - ANDREW
GWS GET THEIR MAN AFTER TRADING BACK
7- - HOBBS
COULD BE WARD, IM PUTTING HOBBS THOUGH, AS HE FEELS TO BE THE TYPE OF PLAYER SAM MITCHELL LOVES, WARD AND SONSIE ARE SIMILAR TYPES IN A WAY BUT HOBBS WOULD ADD THAT POD IN THE MIDFIELD, NOW, WILL SONSIE SLIDE LIKE I THINK HE WILL AND CAN THEY GET HIM ALSO?
8 - - AMISS
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE TAKES THE KPF FREO ACTUALLY DO NEED, I HAVE THEM TAKING HIM HERE
9 - - WARD
COULD BE HOBBS HERE, AND MAY WELL BE, EITHER WAY ONE OF THOSE MIDS IS GOING TO RICHMOND I THINK, SO WARD SLIPS NO FURTHER
10 - - GOATER
RICH GIVE 17 AND 30 TO STK FOR 11
A BIG AGILE MID WHO CAN GO FWD WITH A HIGH CEILING, FREO SAYS YES PLEASE
11 - - JOHNSON
I GET THE FEELING ANOTHER BIG MID IS ON RICHMONDS RADAR, BEING A SMOOTH MOVER WHO ALWAYS SEEMS TO CREATE TIME AND SPACE FOR HIMSELF THEY JUMP UP TO GRAB HIM BEFORE HE GOES
12 - - ERASMUS
BEST AVAILABLE AND A LOCAL WITH TALENT TO BURN, AGAINST TRADITION
CARL GIVE FUTURE FIRST TO ESS FOR 13
13 - - RACHELE
A BEST AVAILABLE IN THEIR EYES WHO ALSO SUITS A NEED FOR A SMALL EXCITING FWD THAT CAN ALSO PLAY MID MINUTES
14 - - DRAPER
BEST AVAILABLE PICK, CAN PLAY MID AND FWD, BEAUTIFUL SKILLSET AND HIGH CEILING
15 - - SINN
BEST AVAILABLE PICK, GIVEN A FULL YEAR HE MAY HAVE BROKEN TOP 10
16 - - WANGANEEN-MILERA
A SILKY SMOOTH, AGILE MOVING KID WHO RARELY MISSES A TARGET
17 - - CHESSER
LOCAL BOY WHO IF PLAYING A FULL YEAR COULD BE MUCH HIGHER ON PEOPLES RADAR
18 - - KNEVITT
KIND OF A SURPRISE FIRST ROUNDER BUT A PERFECT FIT HERE AT SYDNEY GIVEN HIS POTENTIAL AND HIS SIZE IN THE MIDDLE BEING A POD IN THE FUTURE
19 - - BUTLER
BEST AVAILABLE TO THE PREMIERS AT THIS STAGE AND BUTLER WOULD BE A GREAT GET HERE AT 19
20 - - ALLEER
2ND SURPRISE IN THE FIRST ROUND, BUT BEAR WITH ME, I REALLY STRUGGLED TO PUT THIS HERE, HOWEVER, BRISBANE NEED A KPP OR TWO, I THINK THEY WILL LIKE THE AGILITY AND ATHLETIC PROFILE OF ALLEER MORE THAN THAT OF BAZZO AND JVR, ALL 3 OF WHICH MAY BE TOO EARLY TO CALL OUT HERE BUT I BELIEVE THEY WOULD LIKE WHAT ALLEER HAS TO OFFER MORE THAN THE OTHER TWO. MAYBE THEY TRADE THIS DOWN A FEW SPOTS, LETS FIND OUT

ROUND TWO

WB GIVE FREO GEELONGS FUTURE 1ST FOR PICK 21
21 - - WILMOT
AFTER TRADING OUT THEY TRADE BACK IN AND GRAB A BARGAIN HERE IN WILMOT
22 - - BAZZO
ADDING YOUTH EVERYWHERE ON THE PARK IS A NEED, BAZZO WOULD BE A GREAT GET TO LEARN THE KPD/INTERCEPT DEF ROLE, COULD GO JVR ALSO
23 - - SONSIE
WELL, HE LASTED THIS LONG AND HAWTHORN DO GET THEIR OTHER MAN
24 - - BROWN
BEFORE TRADING THEIR NEXT PICK GEELONG GET THEIR BOY
GEEL GIVE 25 AND FUTURE 2ND TO PORT FOR FUTURE 1ST
25 - - ROBERTS
HE IS A MID WHO USES HIS SMARTS AND BODY POSITIONING REALLY WELL TO GET CLEARANCES, SET TEAM MATES UP AND GO FWD TO KICK GOALS, NOT OVERLY QUICK BUT VERY CLEAN AND SMART
26 - - LONG
ANOTHER ONE HAW LIKE IS LONG AND HE FINISHES OFF HAWTHORNS FUTURE MID TRIPLE THREAT, CAN GO FWD AND KICK GOALS AND GREAT IN THE MIDDLE
27 - - MOTLOP
A PURE SMALL FWD AND A SLIPPERY AND SILKY ONE AT THAT, FREO CANNOT MATCH ANY BID UNDER 40, SO THE BLUES GO BANG
28 - - TAYLOR
VERY EFFICIENT USER OF THE BALL AND A SMART FOOTBALLER WHO GIVES 100%, A SMALL FWD/HF TYPE THEY CAN USE WELL WHO CAN ALSO GO INTO THE MIDDLE, WITH JVR STILL ON THE BOARD HE DEFINITELY COULD COME INTO CONSIDERATION
29 - - FAHEY (RICH BID)
A GOOD BID BY RICHMOND AS IF HE HAD A FULL YEAR HE WOULD BE SO, SO MUCH HIGHER ON THE BOARDS, BUT GWS WILL MATCH THE BID HERE
30 - - HOWES
A TALL WINGMAN WHO REALLY IS A UTILITY OF SORTS, PLAYS WELL FWD, PLAYS WELL ON THE WING AND HIS SKILLSET COULD ALSO BE USED ACROSS HB TOO
ESS GIVE STK A FUTURE 2ND AND 56 FOR 31, 66 AND 67
31 - - CLARKE
A CLEVER GOAL KICKING FULL TIME SMALL FWD
32 - - SHELDRICK
AGAINST TRADITION AGAIN, I KNOW, BUT WITH THE NEED FOR ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF MIDS, WCE GO LOCAL HERE AND SHELDRICK WOULD SUIT THEM
33 - - OWENS (GEEL BID)
AFTER TRADING WITH RICHMOND EARLIER AND HAVING A COUPLE OF LATE PICKS STK GET THEIR ACADEMY GUN AND MATCH THE BID
34 - - RANKIN
AFTER HAVING A CRACK AT A BIG BULLOCKING FWD/MID IN OWENS, GEELONG GO FOR THE VERY SKILLED, SMART, GOAL KICKING RANKIN.
35 - - MURLEY
IF MURLEY PLAYED ALL YEAR, HE WOULD NOT HAVE LASTED THIS LONG IN THE DRAFT, VERY SMOOTH MOVING, EXCELLENT SKILLS AND A TYPICAL SYDNEY TYPE PICK I THINK
36 - - HOUGH
HAD A GREAT YEAR AND CAN BE UTILISED ALL OVER THE GROUND AND GIVES GEELONG PLENTY TO PLAY WITH WHICH THEY WOULD LIKE
37 - - RAYSON
EXCEPTIONAL USER AND DELIVERER OF THE BALL WITH LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND A HUNGER FOR THE CONTEST
38 - - VAN ROOYEN
COULD REALLY GO ANYWHERE BETWEEN 15 AND 40, BUT I HAVE HIM HERE, AND YOUTH IN THE FWD/DEF ROLES IS A MUST FOR GEELONG AND JVR HAS SHOWN GREAT WORK-RATE IN BEING A UTILITY TYPE THIS YEAR
39 - - BURGOYNE (WCE BID)
DEFINITELY WORTH A BID AROUND THIS MARK AND WOULD COMPLIMENT THE USERS OF THE BALL IN WCE'S ARMOURY BUT PORT WANT HIM AND WILL MATCH
40 - - MACDONALD
ANOTHER MID, THIS TIME A VIC MID WHO IS AGGRESSIVE, MID SIZED, AND CAN DRIFT FWD FOR GOALS BUT IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT TWO WAY RUNNER WHO TACKLES HARD
41 - - BALLANTYNE
DEFINITELY A RISER AND A GOOD FIT HERE AT MELBOURNE GIVEN HIS COMMITMENT TO THE GAME AND HIS CRAFT. A SMALLISH UTILITY WHO HAS SKILLS THAT COULD BE USED DOWN BACK UP FWD OR THROUGH THE WINGS. HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO BE PERFECTING A WING ROLE

 

[Smythe]

Lets talk about the upcoming drafts,
I was going to post this last week but thought i would wait until this week to post just to keep the content going up until the draft and not leave a blank week.
However Cal Twomey stole some of my thunder in regards to the draft numbers etc.

It will see clubs permitted to have a minimum of 37 players and a maximum of 44 players on their books.
Primary lists must have between 36 and 38 players. Category A rookies are capped at 4-6, up to a total of 42 players on a list including primary-listed players. Each club can also have two Category B rookies. *AFL website

*Please note, these numbers may not be exact but are close

List sizes are to be a maximum of 44, that makes it 792 players
Currently there are 685 players on lists
That leaves 107 free spots
of that 107 there are 65 free senior spots if every team takes the minimum 36 senior list spots
of that 65, 3 have been promised to be relisted, 7 have been promised to be upgraded
That leaves 55 free senior spots
107-55= 52 rookie spots
of the 52 rookie spots, if every club leaves 1 spot open for SSP, Mid season draft etc (not every club will, but for arguments sake lets say they do)
that then leaves 34 spots open for the rookie draft
14 players have been promised to be re-rookied
which leaves only 20 spots open

So in the national draft there should be around 52 taken *to get to minimum numbers (my guess would be 63)
In the rookie draft we are looking at around 20 spots *minimum

All in all, there should be 72 players drafted in the ND and rookie draft combined and that would be the minimum, but it may not be much more than that.
