Player Watch 2021 AFL National Draft - NOT FOR TRADE DISCUSSION

[Strapping Young Lad]

Let’s stick with a basic rule for this thread, that it’s for draft watch and discussion only.

It’s not for trade hypotheticals, who you think needs to be delisted or traded, how many games you think we will win, some other team will win, how many picks you want in the 1st round or discussion of current HFC players.

It’s about youngsters who are eligible for the draft in 2021.


Key dates to look out for:

• NAB AFL Draft Combine: TBC
• NAB AFL Draft: Wednesday November 24 - Thursday November 25
• NAB AFL Pre-season and Rookie Drafts: Friday November 26

Erasmus looks a confident type which is good ,. Very good in fact.

I got Jon Patton confidence vibes. Reminded me of a video from preseason where they had Patton with a mic and go pro.

Beautiful kick of the footy but not sure from previous reports of having X factor …… doesn’t look super quick/zippy. Looking forward to seeing some footage of Ward.

Has this link to his highlights reel from the Vic Country vs Metro game already been posted…?

WATCH: Why Josh Ward is rocketing up draft boards

Hard running midfielder Josh Ward put on a show while playing for Vic Metro in the under-19s.

www.afl.com.au

Watching the whole game showed Ward‘s standout feature to be the cleanliness of his disposal. I don’t remember him wasting a touch. He was rarely first to go in-and-under but went when it was his turn. Just looks quality.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

A kid on Bigfooty who thinks a 20yr old that struggles with kicking is going to be taken early in the draft after not being taken at all in the mid season draft.

Oh he sounds cool.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Can you play KPD?

I'm only like 6 foot but i'll give it a red hot crack. I'm 16 i've got time to grow 6 inches right?

Leek alleer is surely the last type of player we need with cj, Denver, Sicily and even scrim all gun interceptors. I'd be interested to know what he is like 1v1 for anyone that has seen him live , if he is capable then he could be worth a punt later.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Whether he was or wasn’t, he ain’t going top 10 because he can take a few marks.

Who said he would go top 10?

Dominic said he was a bolter who will go early.

Thanks for that. Looks clean, beautiful kick, smart ……. like the hard running but pulls up a little just before he kicks it with control/composure. Doesn’t waste it. Wouldn’t mind if we ended up with Ward and the family connection is very cool as well.

 

[Dewnior]

Nice, who's Domonic?

It was a typo. It was meant to say Demonic.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Sounds like a w***er.

Sounds like a w***er.

Very Jon Patton.

Early and bolter is weird cause i was more meaning 2nd or 3rd. which for him is early.

So he’s a bolter that will go early in the draft…..in the second or third round.

with Ward?

That’s who I see.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Very Jon Patton.

i dunno man there's a bit of a difference between pumping your tyres up in a competitive game with your mates and sexually harassing women

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Sounds like a w***er.

Sic would say this. Just a bit of confidence against some not as good people.

 

[PMBangers]

Sounds like a w***er.

I recommend watching The Footy Yarn fully, most of prospects say similar stuff given the light hearted nature of how they do their videos

Who would we choose if it came between Ward or Hobbs?

yeah DGB was saying the same kinda trash talk in the video he did with them

plus if he is a w***er who cares? we need a bit of that in our side at the minute

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Sounds like a w***er.

Looks likely to disappear for 6 months after a sexting scandal, then appear as a real estate agent on the gold coast

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Good question. Hobbs is a top 3 picks according to a few.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Ward

Wouldn’t be so sure tbh. Sicily is quite quiet while not in game mode.

In saying that, I kinda got the vibe Erasmus was just kidding around.

Fair call. Was referring to the arrogance.
