Analysis 2021 draft thread

[Sproj]

Aren’t the Suns looking to go down the draft order? Would our two first rounders be enough and would we want to sacrifice the two first rounders to go up the order? Is there any point?

This is probably the even draft I’ve seen since 2016 I feel this is the season having 2 late draft picks is good for Us

Where’s this coming from?

I know they were willing to trade their first round pick for a decent, mature KPP.

Otherwise they’re facing their own list squeeze, as they have to start trimming down their excessive rookie list.

I think I read an interview with one of their backroom staff but maybe I misread it, I think it was on AFL.com.

Think there has been an indication that the Suns would be open to trading away pick 3 for a proven talent but they'd actually have to get someone good to want to go there for it to be worthwhile, so seems unlikely.

In this era, every pick is on the table - dependant on return.

Is it allowed to be another player from WA?

We don’t have to give the ones we already have back, do we?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Is it allowed to be another player from WA?

Neale is from SA. It's his wife who's from WA.

As to who we'll get with the top 10 pick we should be getting from Freo, my vote is for Josh Goater. He has the size and the burst to be the big-bodied midfield gun we've lacked. Ward and Callaghan will probably go earlier, and Hobbs is too similar to Neale and Lyons, he has no real X factor.

I'm putting Mark McGowan in charge of the border

If Erasmus is there I would be very interested in him but Freo could take him first.

Freo probably prioritise KPF, Jye Amiss.

 

[Lazza16]

Does anyone know what picks Freeo have?

I hope so

So something around 6 or 8 could be potentially on the table for us (pending trades and academy)

What are the chances of Goater making it to pick 14 and using pick 6/8 on someone else?

Alright say we get pick 6 from Freo and our other firsts stay where they are I would love a haul of Erasmus, Wanganeen-Milera and Bazzo. It would hurt because I'm leaving Johnson on the board but I hadn't even thought of Erasmus as a possibility until now.

Would much rather prefer Johnson Goater and Cheeser if our picks stay the same and adding pick 6

Really like all 6 of those players mentioned matt and blue, I'd be happy with any 3 at the end of the draft, unfortunately we can't have all 6.

Dream draft with 3 first rounders(1 top 6) for me would be Erasmus, Goater, Wanganeen-Milera.

Would there be any chance we could go early and use 6 for Josh Gibcus?

This draft is really strong IMO, the 6 you mentioned + Gibcus, Wilmot, Rachele, Roberts, Sinn, Sonsie, Draper, Amiss could be all around our selections if we end up with something like 6, 14 and 18. I like Sam Banks as well who has been falling in the rankings lately.

I do think we need to add at least one key position player this draft to start developing. I also rate NWM class, ball use and positional size over someone like Chesser. From what I’ve seen and heard of Goater one of him, Erasmus or Johnson would be a good get, not sure we need two of them though.

Agree with all that, just feel there might be a little overlap if we end up with two of those bigger mids, especially with the players already on the list ideally going through the middle.
