Player Watch Tyan Prindable

[Harry O]

Hopefully a better player than O'Bree who was a decent servant but fell short of being an A-grader.

Not many taken 30+ in a weak draft are A graders

Maybe the draft wasn't as weak as they thought . I'm pretty happy with our picks.

I only looked at our current team.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

I only looked at our current team.

Dan Houston and Lachie Schultz also, wishful thinking on Murphy being current team unfortunately

I should have said recent
So Shultz 57
Dan Houston 45 in 2016 rookie draft
Even Lippa was pick 28
Can't find Jamie's, he was preselected or something like that for GWS.
If we add the last two season's draft selections then almost the entire squad are over 30's.
Exceptions Pendles, Nick, Sidebottom and Moore. Might have missed someone.
EDIT:
Perryman, Jack Buller ( 15)

Yeah true, they obviously aren't all A graders but there are plenty of guns taken later in the draft

Were they all weak drafts. Like the 2025 one where one club didn’t take a single pick

I like Prindable too. Was more a crack at someone moaning that he might ‘only’ be O’Bree level. He was a very good level

I haven't done any study on how strong the drafts were, we can't really say the 25 draft was weak just yet, none of them have played a game.
The McCreery draft was a terrible draft, we did well getting him late, especially after the terrible earlier picks we had

You've called out 7 names across a year year drafting period, and not all are A graders.

And I reckon if someone took the time, they'd be able to pull up 10 times as many names of people who didn't make it from 30+.

At best 1 in 3 makes it. At 30+ its closer to 1 in 4.

According to this, 1 in 3 of the 30-50picks play 100 games:

It’s great table that one. Decent drop off in pick ranges

He’ll do things so awesome he’ll be called Unprindable in a few years.

These days we're not that keen on players doing things that are unprintable.

7 from the rookie list in our 2010 GF win, I think the Saints had similar.

We smashed the rookie list back then.

True apart from bolded.

Agree - great analysis. 1 in 7 get to 200 games.

Ash Prindable is his brother, so I'm guessing yes.

Seems 35Daicos was right they do have some indigenous in them

 

[ipswichpies]

I wished the Lions made the same mistake with Ashlon as they did with his brother where they only took him in his final yr before drafting and never evaluated him properly but they have not made that mistake with Ashlon.

Earlier in this blog he was called Ashleigh and I thought that was his name and I have love it we had access to Ashlon as I think he is also a player in the making.
