Pick 43 Fremantle - Harry Lemmey - WEST ADELAIDE KEY FORWARD

WHY: Harry Lemmey had a strong 2021 and looked like a genuine contender to be drafted at #1. Something has happened which has seen his form drift, but talent is talent. Talls take longer to develop, so Harry has plenty of time to bring out the talent he showed in 2021. Together with what's perceived as a shallow draft, at this point you need to take a punt on talent rather than draft vanilla that will be off the list faster than Tom Gorter.


SNAPSHOT: “A leading forward who presents strongly at the football and uses it well by foot.”

Harry Lemmey burst onto the scene in 2021, where he got a taste of SANFL League football for West Adelaide and representative football for South Australia. Fast forward 12 months and the hype may have cooled a little, but despite a challenging year the young forward still presents a strong option for clubs looking to add to their key position stocks.

Playing across all three grades for West Adelaide, as well as representing South Australia at the National Championships, Lemmey faced the difficult task of adapting to new teammates and different coaching throughout the year. Combine that with a temporary position change down back and early season setbacks with injury and illness, and we’re given a fair indication of how unsettled this year has been for him.

Challenges aside, Lemmey looks to have the skill-set and athletic profile to succeed at AFL level. He’s quick on the lead and takes the ball cleanly overhead. He has the athleticism to present further up the ground and uses the ball well by foot, particularly when delivering

STRENGTHS:

• Athletic profile
• Forward craft
• Kicking
• Leading patterns
• Overhead marking

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Competitiveness
• Consistency

Despite being unable to re-capture his 2021 form, Lemmey possesses the physical tools and overall talent to succeed at AFL level. At 199cm, he's a great size for a key forward and his reach makes it difficult for defenders to spoil when he meets the ball at the highest point. His greatest strength is the work he does on the lead. The young key forward possesses great leading instincts, demonstrating a clear understanding of where the space is inside forward 50. He leads with intent and takes the ball cleanly out in front, giving defenders very little chance to spoil the mark.

His strength on the lead is not isolated to his work inside 50. Lemmey is comfortable pushing up onto the wings and through the middle of the ground, where his ability to mark and use the football makes him an important part in the way his side transitions play. When at his best, Lemmey can work over his opponent, dragging him up the ground, before turning and leading back into space towards goal.

Lemmey's decision making and ability to execute by foot, particularly when delivering inside 50, is exceptional for a key position player. His placement is smart and he's capable of hitting a low, penetrating ball to his teammates advantage. Whilst his field kicking is a weapon, he's also a competent finisher in front of goal, with range beyond the 50-metre arc.

Although he's spent some time this season in defence, Lemmey looks most comfortable when playing as a forward. The most critical improvement for Lemmey is re-capturing that form and confidence that he showed in 2021 and delivering it on a more consistent basis. Adding a degree of physicality to his game would go a long way in helping him successfully make the transition to AFL football.

The talent hasn't disappeared and any club looking to draft him will be working desperately to unlock the upside he showed last year. If successful, Lemmey could be one of the steals of the draft.

Cheers Hook461123

With pick 36, the Port Adelaide Football club select James Van Es. Could be considered a bit of a reach for some, however James shot up the draft board due to his strong showing at the combine, and he fits an area of need for Port. I was also considering a ruck, but Barnett was gone and I considered the risk on Broadbent at 36 too great. Key Forward was also considered, but likewise too risky to take Lemmey and not convinced about Scully. Van Es is built like a brick shithouse and ready-made for the AFL, if he can put it all together in a professional environment.

Height: 196cm

Weight: 97kg

Courtesy of Rookie Me Central -


SNAPSHOT: “James Van Es is an intercept marking machine for the GWV Rebels, with his positioning and strength one-on-one among his best traits”

James Van Es is a strong key defender with upside for the future given his remarkable athleticism that could still be further implemented on-field to add extra weapons to his game. The Greater Western Victoria (GWV) Rebels defender is a natural leader who was impressive for St Patrick’s College in the Herald Sun Shield Grand Final loss to Whitefriars College.

Van Es is a reliable backman who earned Vic Country representative honours, often being a critical interceptor, but also one who could play on an opponent and nullify them. Being a strong defender who had athletic traits makes him a player who has potential if a club can give him a chance. He averaged 11.3 disposals, 4.0 marks and 3.3 rebound 50s at the AFL Under 18 Championships, and was able to have a mix of defending one-on-one and finding space to step into.

In a draft crop where there are strong defenders, and then athletic defenders, Van Es is a player who could be a mix of both, but he could further showcase his athleticism – mainly his 2.91-second 20m sprint – on-field. Overall though his year has been a successful one for his draft stocks, with the 197cm and 99kg prospect developing strongly in a GWV Rebels side that produced the best bigman in the draft crop in Aaron Cadman.


STRENGTHS:

• Intercept marking
• Positioning
• Rebounding
• Strength
• One-on-Ones

IMPROVEMENTS:

• In-game athleticism
• Ground balls

James Van Es is a potentially value selection lower down in the AFL Draft order, but is the type of player that could raise interest from certain clubs depending on what they are looking for. On face value, Van Es is just a strong key defender who reads the ball well, positions himself accordingly behind the play, and then holds onto big grabs with consistency. Though on-field he does not always look like being overly athletic, Van Es is a player who has the upside to impact more offensively as per his superb testing results at the National Draft Combine.


At the recent testing event, Van Es topped all-comers in the running vertical jump (98cm) and second in the standing vertical jump (75cm), while ranked second from the key defenders who tested in terms of his agility. Combine that with his 2.91-second 20m sprint, and Van Es on paper is a well-rounded athlete. When he is able to really start punishing teams more by using that on-field, he can take his game to another level. Right now he can leap consistently and easily beat his opponent in that area, but is often a one-on-one defender without a lot of freedom other than when receiving uncontested in the back pockets.


Van Es is a long kick, who will often look to put it down the line or to high percentage positions. He has seldom had stints up the other end of the field, but has been such a rock solid player in the back 50 for both the Rebels and Vic Country. A more readymade option than most to play in that defensive third, Van Es has some of the safest hands behind the ball and has the smarts to peel off his opponents when required.


Another area where Van Es could improve include is his ground balls, which is not a surprise for a player of his size who can impact so effectively in the air. Often most of his touches come from intercepting aerially, averaging the 1.8 tackles per game at NAB League level. It is not a major flaw for a player who has hands as safe as the Rebels defender does, but is a way to further enhance his game.


Though those areas are ways to improve, Van Es does have that rare balance of readymade strength, smarts and scope for athletic improvement. If it can all come together for him, then Van Es could prove a value selection. However it would not be a shock if the Rebels defender was taken earlier in the draft given his testing success and consistent year at an intercepting key defender.

eaglespremiers you're up mate.

TIL Van Es is a Dutch surname meaning "from the ash tree"

Pick 44. Gold Coast: Tom McCallum.

This was freakin hard, as I had eyes for Lemmy, hoping he would get through to here.

I wanted a genuine key defender, but there's none left I really like, so I'm looking for a player with upside, that Gold Coast don't have a similar type coming through their academy.

Borrowed from RMC. Tom McCallum


Tom McCallum
Height: 192cm
Weight: 78kg
D.O.B: 15-05-2004
Leagues: NAB League Boys

STRENGTHS:

• Aerial ability
• Endurance
• Intercept marking
• Run-and-carry
• Speed
• Versatility

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Consistency
• Kicking

McCallum's top traits fall under the umbrella of athleticism, with his all-round profile proving valuable to his on-field game. Perhaps his most eye-catching attribute is speed, with the 18-year-old capable of taking off in a flash and generating damaging running passages out of defence.

In the a similar vein, McCallum's vertical leap lends to strong aerial prowess. He reads the flow of play nicely and even if he's caught slightly out of position, has enough closing speed and range to at least impact the contest. At his best, he rises for some incredible marks and averaged over five throughout the NAB League season. Even more impressively, he clunked seven in three-consecutive National Championship games.

What sets McCallum apart from many other intercept/rebound defenders is his blend of speed and endurance. His highlight reel would look more like a series of replays at times, such is McCallum's ability to constantly break the lines at speed. That ability to repeatedly work at such a high intensity is something which not many others can do.

It's also a factor which lends to his versatility. Though McCallum has played almost exclusively behind the ball this year, he has the capacity to present as a third tall at the other end of the ground, or even translate his traits to a wing. In each position, his running capacity is complimented well by his control of the airways.

For all the excitement he offers, there are some clear areas of improvement for McCallum. His rawness is obvious, and playing at such a high tempo often impacts the mechanics of his kicking. Playing in bursts, his rushes of blood when carrying through the corridor could be polished with greater composure in his end product.

McCallum is also raw in the sense of his frame. He shapes up as that in-between size (192cm) and perhaps doesn't have the strength to compete as a true key position or contested outlet. What he does have is mobility, and that would make him a valuable third-up option in each third - offering both aerial and running support.

Tightening the screws on some of his erratic tendencies will go a long way to making McCallum a more consistent overall player, and thus a safer draft selection. He produced brilliant high-disposal, high-mark games during both the NAB League and National Championships, but also turned in four games of under 10 touches for Tasmania.

It is hard to deny he is a prospect with enormous upside, though. He performed well in games he was expected to for Tasmania and took his chance in the Allies group, pushing his case as a developable talent with potential to be a genuine utility.

If he didn't, I would have.

[Hook461123]

Wanted Lemmey too

With pick number 45 St Kilda football club select Kobe Ryan.

183cm/73kg
Midfielder - West Adelaide

Kobe is a good accumulator of the ball. He was one of the most consistent midfielders for SA during the carnival. He is very good on the outside showing good speed and delivery by foot. However he also has good hands in tight and wins his own clearances. He likes a tackle too.

Kobe has played 4 senior games in the SANFL where his ball use has been elite averaging a staggering 89% disposal efficiency across the four games.

He also had 27 touches at 78% with seven marks, six tackles, five clearances, four inside 50’s and 123 SuperCoach points at reserves level. In his five reserves games, he is averaging 29 touches at 90%, with seven clearances and six inside 50’s.

St Kilda are looking forward to pairing Mackenzie and Ryan together in the midfield, while also adding a a good small forward in Konstanty and highly skilled defender in Gilbey.

AsterixTheGaul your up mate

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Hawthorn - pick 46 = Phoenix Foster

Norwood – Forward/Ruck
Height: 197cm
Weight: 87kg

SNAPSHOT: “An athletic forward who is strong in the air and capable of playing through the ruck.”

Phoenix Foster was somewhat of a surprise packet for South Australia at the National Championships. With lead ruck Harry Barnett a late withdrawal from game one due to COVID, Foster took the opportunity with both hands and was named one of South Australia’s best players in the Croweaters’ win against the Allies. So impressive was his performance, that he retained his position in the side throughout the Championships, playing in all bar one game.

A strong aerial athlete who competes well in the air, Foster always finds a way to hold onto the mark or bring the ball to ground. His vertical leap allows him to be competitive in the ruck and he has shown he can present as a lead-up option around the ground.

Foster managed a goal in every one of his appearances for Norwood in the SANFL Under 18 competition this year, finishing with 26 majors from just 11 games. His average of 2.18 contested marks per game was good for third highest in the league, trailing only state teammates Ashton Moir and Tom Scully

An invite to the National Draft Combine tops off a strong year for Foster, whose impressive rise has solidified him as a genuine chance to be selected in late November.

Well as long as it doesn't mean "from the ass tree" then he may turn out to be a decent player.

[AsterixTheGaul]

One of the benefits of the mock is to reflect on how you feel at certain stages in the draft. Hawthorn have 4 picks in the 40's and I sense would be open to an offer for a future R4 for one of these picks.

There are about 5 players I still have on my board and would be fine investing one pick for 2023 and hope that they are there as rookies. Therefore, if there is a player we want, I'd rather open up a spot for them now and cut deeper assuming we could take a 5th player in the draft

dajesmac do you want to match?

Good value at 47.

 

[dajesmac]

Yeah go on

 

[Keys]

Yeah go on

Just so I’m clear you’re not matching.

Going by Cal Twomeys article yesterday you’re not likely to be using any picks after 31 anyway

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

So your willing to trade a mid third round pick for a future fourth round pick?

I’ve got pick 48 and 50 left and they may be the last handful of live selections in what is seen as a shallow draft. A future 4th from West Coast would be about a late 50 pick in a much deeper draft.

The likelihood for Hawks is that who I wanted with the last live pick will be there as a rookie. The quality (or it could be the lack of exposed form over 3 years) means these current late picks will soon feel like rookie quality

So yes, I would look at it.

 

[Keys]

I’ve taken it that dajesmac isn’t matching so AsterixTheGaul you’re up

 

[dajesmac]

I’ve taken it that dajesmac isn’t matching so AsterixTheGaul you’re up

Sorry that was ambiguous in hindsight. I was happy to match - I had no idea he was an academy kid nor unsure if I had any picks left. Happy to let him have the pick and keep the draft going

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Keys can you tack on a Freo pick to the draft order whenever their next pick is due to land?
Need to take a 3rd player to not p*ss off the AFLPA.

 

[bh90210fan]

Here’s the write up on Carlton’s pick 47 now there’s no match

Harry Rowston - 182cm, 78kg, Inside Mid



SNAPSHOT: “A hardened inside midfielder who can roll forward to clunk overhead marks and kick crucial goals.”

One of the top Northern Academy products in this year’s draft crop is Harry Rowston, who is tied to Greater Western Sydney (GWS) via the Riverina region. A Giant since 2016, the tough inside midfielder boards at Assumption College and also turned out for the Calder Cannons during this year’s NAB League season.

It has been quite the year for Rowston, who earned both individual and team success en route to securing a National Combine invite. After solid performances for the Giants Academy and NSW-ACT Rams, the 18-year-old was called up to the Allies squad and proved a reliable figure there to collect Most Valuable Player honours.

It didn’t take long for him to settle into the Calder setup having helped Assumption College take out the AGSV title, quickly becoming the Cannons’ most impactful player in midfield. His side defied the odds to secure a finals berth, and Rowston’s top-age campaign was capped by recent All Australian selection.

 

[Keys]

Keys can you tack on a Freo pick to the draft order whenever their next pick is due to land?

We’re getting to the stage of the draft where clubs are likely to be passing on picks or what have any spots available

Happy to take advice from anyone but my thinking is to only allocate picks after round 3 to clubs that will need to use them

Unless there’s any objections to that I’ll put up the extra picks later tonight

Oof, was keen on Drury. Feel like I should be picking a pure mid to balance the picks for the pies, but all the ones I like are taken. Going to take the punt on the upside of Jaiden Magor, powerful, good size and has had some dominant games at 18’s level. Potentially a mid, there’s a lot to like about him at this stage of the draft.
