Game Day 2018 AFL Draft - Live Chat

[AAACockburn]

He looks like a shady prick

 

[Gekko71]

Finally... I get to go "Who???"

Every time I've gone "Who?" in a draft, they've been a good pickup.

 

[Freoforever86]

WA lad here surely

Obviously there are a lot of AFL-affiliated teams in the VFL which mean there are a lot of fully-professional footballers playing week-in/week-out in that comp.

But if you take the AFL-affiliated players out of it, the results on the board are that WAFL-representative teams are stronger than VFL or SANFL rep teams.

Subi is arguably the 19th ranked club in the country, in terms of sustained performance and off-field strength.

AFL affiliates are stacked with talented but young players Struggle to play 4 quarters and are playing on potential. For example Horsley would be better than every 1st and 2nd round draftee over a WAFL season. However he is at his ceiling. In three years some will be playing AFL and be way better. At 18 they are not.

Schultz to go with Hogan. you wouldn't read about it.

 

[Dale147]

[freo_leo29]

Brett bewley

 

[Tonga Bob]

[shaking fist] SCHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULTZ!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Fonebone]

LOL ..good ol' Freo. Never fail to surprise

 

[MadDocker]

Rolling the dice with Carter in the rookie? Hopefully pays off.

 

[Bastyy]

Brett Bewley is another player I like

Mature age mid from the VFL. From Williamstown like Schultz

Think he'll make an impact next year

 

[G Mus]

Schultz looks good but not a fan of this one

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Not really due to draftable players though

I see what you mean.

But if Pickett was playing VFL don't you reckon someone would have picked him up?

 

[raffrox]

So no WA players at all.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

No carter or Oreilly

Next board meeting will be tense

Two 'who's' in one draft...

This is a good omen.

I hope.

Probably, but there's more exposure vs AFL listed players when you're in the VFL

 

[FD2646]

Disappointing not to select stack, or orielly or English or even mature ages in Bolton or some West Perth boys!

Really? Well that's good. Two totally anonymous players in him and Schultz. I'm not against it by the way, and believe this is a big part of why we pay guys to do the scouting. Completes the box of chocolates for this year's draft. Rookies to come.

 

[Wizard]

No carter or Oreilly

If Carter isn't drafted dont we just get him as a Cat B? And potentially look at O'Rielly at pick 5 in the rookie if hes there?

Big boot on him is about all I know

 

[freo_leo29]

Fingers crossed noone takes Carter
