Opinion Who do you realistically want in the 2022 AFL Draft?

[Strapping Young Lad]

I’m pretty keen on the Humper if he’s there at our pick.

Is he Thumber's (from Bambie) horny brother?

 

[Wobbly Punt]

For me with Freo picks;
Jones
Lemmey
Cole
Hagan

This obviously means all of these guys will be playing somewhere else next year.

 

[Off Tap]

I haven’t kept up with the chatter. What’s the knock on him? Interview poorly? Poor character? Work ethic?

Dees have pick 13 and from the vision I saw he seemed a perfect fit for us as a strong agile mid/forward type…

Last year he left his school which was close to home to Scotch College on the other side of town due to behavior issues. Some people are saying he was expelled but I haven't seen anything to back this story up.

The last interview I heard of him last week acknowledged he moved but he wasn't questioned why. Very impressive speaker and comfortable with displaying his confidence that he's not afraid to show.

Some people are throwing it out there he should slip to our 3rd selection.

[danster168]

What do people see in McKenzie? He looks a run of the mill depth midfielder. Not quick, not great skills, like what is he even good at?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Pick 2 sheezel
Pick 3 Tsatas
Pick 23 Keeler

 

[VinnieB]

Dont know a great deal about this draft but seems like it is a weak draft, probably because of the lack of development through Covid.

I am hoping Carlton trade up to get better choices with our picks, would GWS entertain a swap of Picks 10 & 39 for 15 & 19? Seems like a fair trade, even though 39 is probably no use to them with so many high picks, perhaps a future 2nd might be more appealing.

I'd be tempted to pick the other way around and get ahead of a pick for Barnett with pick 14 then hopefully pick up Hustwaite with 18.

If Essendon were to trade up, Hustwaite is one I'd be trying to get if available

 

[Giant Strides]

Cadman (#1), Hollands (#15, otherwise Hotton), Clarke (#18). A few options for remaining picks.

[Bloods86]

Pretty much what Kiama Chris said. Swans - likely ~17, ~20, ~41

Hustwaite (or Allan)
Barnett
KPD (Van Es, Adams, Phillips etc)

I'm also keen to use a pick from next year to move up on our pick ~41 this year, into the 20s. So if we kept our first two, my dream draft would probably be:

Hustwaite (or Allan)
Barnett
Gruzewski

Others I'd be happy with: Ginbey (unlikely), Jefferson (unlikely), Weddle, Keeler, D'Aloia. Basically just want to cover our needs bases i.e. Ruck, KPF, KPD (might also rookie Edwards from academy), inside mid.

 

[citizen-erased]

Pick 2 sheezel
Pick 3 Tsatas
Pick 23 Keeler

Big fan of all 3.
If we keep 22 live id hope for keeler but i reckon it will be barnett if still available.

We'd be pretty stoked with wardlaw i think though

Agreed, it just isn’t a strong draft pool which means naturally some of the better prospects are getting hype by virtue of the likely draft order.

McKenzie’s ceiling is probably Dom Sheed.

Reckon Hollands is in a similar boat.

 

[La Dispute]

Would love to bring in Humphrey if available.

Busslinger looks like a real future gun too and would be happy to pull the trigger on him.

yeah, in McKenzie I see more like a Jackson Nelson. Just a complete run of the mill midfielder.
Hollands also seems like a guy like Tom Sparrow or something. I don't really see it.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

He has simple class. There's run of the mill midfielders and then there's blokes who never make mistakes. Not many of the former win flags, but a lot of the latter do. He's the latter. He'll weight his handballs and kicks so the receiver doesn't break stride.

Agreed. He clark and ashcroft are the safest picks of the draft imo.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Kaleb Smith will be able to play round one as a small defender.
