Game Day 2021 AFL Draft & AFL Rookie Draft

[eastfreo75]

If someone offered a second rounder and a future second for our current second round pick you'd have to consider it. Like if you could guarentee Johnson was gonna be a gun he'd have probably gone in the first round right?

No

 

[wayToGo_]

As much as I like van Rooyen, I'm not bothered he's off the board. I just didn't see what he offers to us that Brennan Cox doesn't already, and I do think he's also best suited to defence. I'd find it very hard to go past Johnson as best available, but I think Goater fits what we'd want better so it wouldn't surprise me if we went that way.

Daring to bet against Jason Taylor. Since joining Melbourne in 2013 every first pick he has had except one (Hannan, who was traded to WB and played in the GF this year) has a premiership medal.

Christ let's just go Johnson.

Sick of players with questionable disposal. Now we've picked some forwards let's get someone to deliver the ball to them.

190+cm mid who can kick well, hmmm where have I seen that before.

 

[Taylor]

Johnson could have slipped for lots of reasons. One might be that he isn't super quick, one might be that he doesn't win a lot of the ball, one might be that he potentially indicated that he would not sign an extension with an interstate side and wanted to come home with Colin Young as his manager.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I can only assume the mail on the Hawks being keen on Johnson was wrong because if they had him as a top 8 talent then there is no way they dont find a way to trade with Brisbane for that pick.

Likewise, if we were tossing up on Johnson/Erasmus per the mail then we rate Johnson top 10 and some club is going to have to pay a mint for us to risk losing him

 

[Docker82]

Kind of, we can now match bids from him but go into a deficit as we hold 54 and 62 or if he gets to 40 then we can match with our next pick, if we want him as a Cat B only then he has to make it through tomorrow night (Won't happen IMO)

50/50 chance at worst I reckon.

Would be a good result for us if he gets through.

 

[Mogumber]

Bugger Colin Young, get Johnson!!
Players can always change managers

 

[The Pirate]

Nailed it with Amiss and Erasmus. Great work! We've got the dependable mid with Erasmus, let's go Goater for the flair and excitement.

 

[Taylor]

Snuff is right, if we rated Johnson as a top ten pick then we will want something huge for pick #21 and Bell has indicated as such.

 

[Hazelsnuts]

Can someone post a link or a list showing the order of the remaining picks please..

Can someone post a link or a list showing the order of the remaining picks please..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_AFL_draft because it loads much faster than anything on AFL.com.au

 

[Carnthedockers]

Can confirm we are surprised Johnson is there. Adam Jones rates Johnson as the third best WA player.

 

[Arkhitect]

Not sure why Johnson has slid out of the first? As tempting as he is, if we could swap picks with the Hawks for a little something extra and still get Goater it'd be an awesome haul...

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

The more I think about it now, the more I think we'll trade with Hawthorn for 23 and a future 2nd rounder and grab Goater. Hawthorn will want Johnson, so we'll be able to extract maximum value from them as a result.

Goater also adds a POD to our midfield.

Can someone post a link or a list showing the order of the remaining picks please..

I don't think we did really consider Johnson over Erasmus. We may've considered him at 10 if Erasmus was gone along with a host of others but I suspect the rumblings of our interest in Hobbs and Gibcus would've seen them selected in from of him if that was the case.

 

[blue shark]

What will Sumich say about us now? Expect him to need meds after what WC served up.

Didn't he test really well for speed?

 

[Taylor]

Didn't he test really well for speed?

He is agile and can run, but I don't think he is quick

 

[eastfreo75]

Didn't he test really well for speed?

Agility is elite but not burst player.

Builds a tank and gets uncontested marks around the ground. Then uses his freaken laser guns to hit players inside 50.

 

[eastfreo75]

I would say there is no chance of that happening.

Never thought Johnson would be available at 21 either.

Projected to go in the mid 20s, see what happens.

 

[theGav56]

If we could turn 21 into Draper and Motlop, then pick up Benning later, We have simultaneously enhanced our forwards and midfield.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I wonder what other clubs don't rate about Johnson?

 

[Lach72]

22		North Melbourne			​
23		Hawthorn			←Collingwood (2020)​
24		Geelong			←Fremantle←Collingwood←Gold Coast​
25		Geelong			←Western Bulldogs(draft)←Adelaide​
26		Hawthorn

So I’m not taking anything for 21 that isn’t 20 and a future second from north or both picks from Geelong and/or Hawthorn.

 

[hilly]

So ah...who you guys taking?

[Cobbler]

Sub 3 second 20m. That’s quick.

Anyway, Johnson projects as that type that just knows how to football. No flair. No fanfare. Just a footballer.

We’d need a significant offer to not grab him OR we never rated him in which case we just go for best offer for our needs.

If we take a deal, we can never have rated Johnson.
