AFL Draft Power Rankings: General defenders enter top-five calculations

The elite talent stay atop Chris Doerre's August Draft Power Rankings, but a couple of general defenders have risen up into top-five calculations.

Cal Twomey's 2019 Phantom Form Guide: August update

AFL.com.au's draft guru ranks the best young footy talent in the land

www.afl.com.au

Robertson and sharp are in different positions in the ranking as per matt balmer but knightmare and cal twomey almost same....

Really hope we can get Robertson . Watched a bit of the championships and he looks like the ball magnet we need .

If someone could explain this too me.....I 'll keep it simple . If say we go to the draft with say picks 8, 25 , 30 and someone makes a bid on Henry at say pick 12 where Cal Twoomey has him atm, what happens regarding the points and picks we would lose to match that bid?
Never quite understood the system

I will make my clues harder next time.

I was almost going to take a more abstract, hopeful view on some word association by drawing a long bow...
There is an artist called Angelo who draws pictures of fish that live in the area of his home state in the U.S.
His last name is Coniglio...

Or there's the Coniglio fish... Endemic to the Western waters off Sydney but has been known to migrate during the summer to more temperate waters in the south west of W.A. in search of $$'s.

I'll take either

Pickett is set to play for the Tigers.

Another south freo player overlooked by us and the eagles.

What do you see the Hill transaction being then? Just draft picks, or translated into other options like Brayshaw or another senior player?

The only way I can see the rebuild not being affected is if BHill leads directly to Kelly...most other options would appear to mean a backward step initially.

Im not convinced there are any players involved atm so yeah just picks.

I do. You can clearly lip read the conversation after the game between sonny and kelly.

I'll take your word for it.

Please someone tell me we are trying to get Jack Martin.
He's been omitted this week stirring up trade speculation.

There is no way that Geelong take 8 instead of 5 if we have it. Will be hard to get them to take just 5 as it is

He's out of contract and there will be just 2 suiters. What pick do WC have that's better than 8?

 

[Ysaye]

I am surprised at Sharp's absence, especially given the comments ab

Pretty sure we lose 25 and pick 30 gets downgraded on the balance of points (say eg. Becomes pick 35 though I have not done the maths). So maybe:

8. Dylan Stephens
25. Liam Henry
35. Trey Ruscoe

If that happened.

It’s just being petty, we’d give 5

I'll do it.

A bid at #12 costs us 1014 points after discount. Pick #25 is 756, Pick #30 is 629. Leaves us with pick #44

It's Peter Bell we're talking about, it'd be 8.

 

[Purpellian Anchor]

Under pick 25 means '26 and onwards'...

When you use the word 'above' in reference to draft picks it infers the higher draft picks (1,2,3,4, etc...)

Lower picks are essentially that, lower picks.

Establishing the context of the reply....it was about numbers as in rating - higher and lower. It is up to the person reading to understand the context of the post and what it was replying to....but yes for you I can make that differentiation in future

Maybe this is a specific strategy by the Vic clubs. In law, the big firms will have a number of their juniors and mid levels seconded in house to a client with the aim that they will keep the work with that client (as opposed to the client hiring a lawyer from a competitor instead who then moves the work to their previous firm).

Maybe Vic clubs are identifying potential wags from Melbourne (easy with Instagram these days) and causing the introductions and creating the relationship. Then, down the track, the ladies will bring their players back to Melbourne regardless of where they are from, for the benefit of the Vic teams. At the end of their careers they have the choice to keep or leave them (WA style) when their large salaries dry up.

Very smart Vic. Good adaptation to counter the go home factor. Well played.

 

[Tyler from Fremantle]

That's not an excuse, Kelly is just one of many home grown boys we have overlooked.

An excuse for what? All 18 clubs overlooked him.

Who cares what state a kid is from. We want the best, regardless of state.

Apparently he is one of the best .

Can we stop dwelling on every single West Australian who we overlook? What about all the Victorians who were overlooked by every single Vic club? Luke Ryan anyone? Michael Barlow?

 

[Dockernut]

Honestly if Brad and his partner want to go back to Victoria and have children there then we shouldn't stand in their way

**** that.

How the **** does that happen? He's never lived in Victoria in his life.

In any case, what sort of self respecting footballer's girlfriend would rather live in miserable 13 degree bleak city instead of on the beach when it's 22 and clear in July?

Here's an exercise - find a draft bargain we've picked up from Melbourne that's not mature age. Ever.

Chris Mayne. Will be worth a top 5 pick by the time we’ve traded Hill

David Mundy would probably go number one in his draft class if it was redone. We got him for pick 19.

 

[theGav56]

If we were a top 8 side, I would be doing everything in my power to keep Sandi on the list next year, but we aren't.

Well, we aren't quite a top 8 side this year, but we could be next year, and would be more likely to be top 8 if we still had Sandilands.

Finding a way to get Jackson is the move I want to see.

Mundy was from Seymour, not Melbourne.

Country Victoria we've actually had a bit of draft success. Darcy is a recent example.
