List Mgmt. 2019 AFL National Draft Thread

[Mississippi]

Terms I don't want to read about our draftees:

Project player
Flanker
Basketball convert
Still learning the game

Take out "flanker" - and you've just described Sam Grimley !

 

[Hawker55]

One thing to remember in all of this is that just because a player played as a defender throughout their development doesn't mean the club seems him in that role.

I raise this because of the meltdown over taking a key defender or a half back flanker.

 

[ralphwiggum]

My gut keeps saying pick Kemp, pick Kemp.... if we pass on him it could be a huge regret.

We have a moral obligation to hawks supporters like Kemp....

Picking up Worpel though, that was more like social services

 

[KermitJagger]

I've been really watching a bit of Maginness' tape lately, and what I really like about him is his ability to get hands free in the contest. He does that Michael Voss, Marcus Bontempelli thing of keeping the arms up high and out of the tackle before firing off his disposal. Really smart inside footballer instincts and a fantastic size.

Regardless of who we get early, I'll be watching him with keener interest.

 

[hawk65]

I’m hoping it looks something like this come 9pm tonight.

Pick 11: Best available
Picks 42 & 50: Maginness
Pick 54: Small forward
Pick 63: Key forward
Pick 69: PASS

Only round 1 tonight so you'll have to wait till tomorrow

 

[Platten44]

Anyone know if Clarko still has the final say like in 2004 when he called a breakfast and overruled our recruiters to get him Roughead instead of Tambling

 

[Bugs1977]

Pickett. Don't do this to me.

If we get him then I’ll be stoked. He is exactly what we need and albeit not as talented could go a long way to filling the void Cyril has left. He would allow us to phase out Poppy and at the very least make Poppy earn his spot at selection this coming season. I won’t hold my breath that we get him but you never know.

 

[Iceman!]

Its a beautiful Day. I'm coming around to the kid...

Day is an excellent all-round athlete and showcased his speed (2.96 20m sprint), endurance (21.2 yo-yo test) and leap (88cm running vertical) at the SANFL preseason combine testing.

STRENGTHS:
Athleticism
Kicking efficiency
Footy smarts
Rebounding
Upside

IMPROVEMENTS:
Strength
Inside game

Nat Fyfe was 187cm & 74 kgs when drafted.
Will Day is 187cm & 70kgs.

I do agree but for every Fyfe you get another 50 kids that don't develop like that. I see the potential in him but i think we have more ready made players that will be available and have a similar upside as well.

 

[Furn2]

I don't want to hear anything about Finn Maginess til tomorrow.

 

[Mississippi]

I don't want to hear anything about Finn Maginess til tomorrow.

OK
Well what about 15 year old Ned Maginess - who's apparently even better than the un-named one?

 

[Watsclarkosmob]

I’m hoping it looks something like this come 9pm tonight.

Pick 11: Best available
Picks 42 & 50: Maginness
Pick 54: Small forward
Pick 63: Key forward
Pick 69: PASS

Well it won't....maybe tomorrow night but no chance tonight.

Surely kids with no basketball are the rarity

im listening ?

Ned....ususally short for Ed

 

[KermitJagger]

Ned....ususally short for Ed

Nedward

 

[Bugs1977]

And our track record at bulking players up isn't fantastic.

Xavier Ellis and Stewy Dew beg to differ (jokes)

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

What happened to Noah Anderson going to Hawthorn under the father/son rule?

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

What happened to Noah Anderson going to Hawthorn under the father/son rule?

His father did not play enough games for Noah to qualify

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

2 premierships means nothing I guess.

 

[Slick]

2 premierships means nothing I guess.

Not when the games minimum is 100!

A pick-by-pick consensus view
Consensus first round based on the "mode" or most common phantom draft selection for each club.

This shows no one really has any clue who Hawthorn will draft.

The AFL draft is upon us — these are the players your club are chasing

The business end of the AFL draft takes place in Melbourne this evening, with all 18 clubs desperate to nab a gun recruit. Take a look at the draft predictions to find out the players your club is likely to select.

New rule! 100 games or a premiership.

 

[tige19]

New rule! 100 games or a premiership.

I am surprised this isn't implemented, seriously been some absolute donkeys play 100 games and have zero relevance to that footy club, yet it somehow holds more weight than a premiership which is forever cherished? bizarre.

 

[KermitJagger]

I'd be exceedingly happy with this draft if we came out the other end with Stephens/Kemp, Maginness and traded back in at 20ish for Elijah Taylor. We could do worse than taking Angus Hanrahan with a late or rookie pick as well. Perhaps a youngster like Tyrone Thorne who is a borderline midget, but a tenacious small forward. He's shorter than Caleb Daniel but as with Daniel you can see the footballer in him.

 

[Lawsy]

Should we be entitled to, for example, Dew's kids or even to be able to pitch for their service after 1 year on our list despite the multiple years , +100 games and a flag at Port.
I'd be pissed I'd Mitch, Hodge or Lewis won a flag in their superannuation years to then lose 'rights' to their kids after all the club did for them.
