Draft Review 2019 - Revisit the 2019 AFL Draft

[Old navy]

Winners
Freo smashing it out of the park

GCS, not hard with the picks they had.

GWS more high end talent and got a bargain with Green

Losers

Not rapt with Melbourne’s draft so far, Jackson could be great but pick 3 is a big gamble and another big gamble with Pickett @pick 10.

Port’s draft not really impressing me much either.

Biggest losers

People that point out you can’t know who’s won the draft for years and have a bit fun on draft night.

Carlton reaching for Philp is a head scratcher. Hawks reaching for Day arguably worse. Port reaching for Georgiades.

Everyone for letting Robertson slide, especially Geelong, Carlton and Richmond.

How the **** do Dow and Philp get taken before Robertson

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Losers: anybody who watched the broadcast. That was woeful.

 

[Moeydw]

Not a big loss per se but Adelaide with the reasoning that they could've traded down and probably still have taken McAsey whilst gaining another pick in the process.

 

[Sir Skid]

Good on Carlton for bidding on players.
Beats me why more clubs don't do this.

You could say the same about the dogs reaching for Weigthman.

Yeah I would have loved Robertson or even Dylan Williams with that pick, but considering we would have taken Kemp at pick 9 anyway, kind of a free hit with that pick I guess.

Some pretty big reachers on face value and how Young, Green and to a lesser extent Kemp went so late was very hard to understand.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I wanted Stephens 2 or 3 years ago and we got him. His injury was a blessing. I had him top 5 at the start of the year.

Not so sure about the Hawks reaching.

A lot of recruiting gurus at AFL clubs viewed him as having one of the biggest upsides in the draft pool.

A fact confirmed by KM.

I must have missed it, which club wanted to trade?

Fact?

 

[Young Gun #6]

Carlton could’ve turned pick 9 into Kemp and Robertson which would’ve been nearly the craziest (at the time of the draft) haul ever from that sort of a pick.

Instead they drafted 1 gun who slid probably 10 picks too far in Kemp but massively reached on the next pick for what looks to be a meh player.

Jealous?

There was talk at the top of coverage that Carlton wanted to trade up to 6.

Philp was projected in the 20's, he went 20. So hardly a reach.

and another big gamble with Pickett @pick 10.

You're jealous...

 

[Drewie11]

I guess that’s why they traded down instead of up.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I guess that’s why they traded down instead of up.

Think it was Stephens, Serong or Young for us. We would’ve held 9 (11?) if one of those were on the board.

Sydney really threw a spanner in it passing on Flanders. Good choice IMO.

I think the Sydney pick absolutely changed the future picks and any swap between Adelaide and Carlton. I think you guys wanted Stephens and if Sydney didn’t take him then a trade would have happened

I believe Knightmare had him at 24 and Champion data at 28 so not that 'massive' a reach (regardless of the fact I'd never heard of him).

 

[Mr Magic]

I think Carlton big winners as well as Freo.

From the vision I think Kemp is top 3 assuming recovers and Philp could be a great.

Philp reminds me of Swan and KB but obviously has to improve to make it

 

[briztoon]

Philp was projected in the 20's, he went 20. So hardly a reach.

By who exactly?

 

[Rod Stroker]

we're losing so far. completely blew the first round.

 

[Virgin Dog]

You could say the same about the dogs reaching for Weigthman.

Except Weightman was actually rated consistently at that level, if not higher. Most had Day outside the top 20

 

[Holy Rioli]

except for Port and GC who would have taken him with their next available picks (if GC didn't do the Carlton trade).
