Mega Thread 2021 Draft

[Lore]

Hey guys, scuse the intrusion. Thought you might like to have this resource on your board (mods might like to sticky):

 

[240volt]

Don’t get your hopes up my money is on a 160cm 38kg forward pocket /flanker with dicky knees.

Dudley it is

 

[robbo1981]

Dudley it is

I did say the more Indigenous boys the better but that would be pushing the boundaries lol

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Can we take whoever it was who apparently plays like Scott Pendlebury? I would love a Scott Pendlebury.

We are missing a Ebert type who can control the air in the midfield. Want a 190cm plus mid, if their good ofc.

 

[PrisonBars4life]

I am happy with wanganeen. No point having all these big forwards when our current list is incapable of hitting them up. We need some clean users of the ball in the front half.

If they want to run Bergman and duursma through the guts more often, there will be a wing spot open as well.

 

[Revan11]

Hahahaha, god no. Wouldn't even trade Ladhams for this guy, let alone Ladhams + 16.

I would.

I watched a game with Andrews in it this year. The first few minutes (I jumped into the game a little late from memory so started 5-10 mins gone) I immediately saw Andrews do a bunch of stuff that blew me away (athleticism wise) and thought wow, this guy is going to be a star.

He then totally disappeared the rest of the game.

I tried looking for him and when I did manage to spot him he genuinely looked more confused than my girlfriend midpoint of any movie that isn’t a romcom.

I would imagine Aliir would be a great mentor for Andrew. You can teach the consistency, you can't teach the talent and ability.

 

[Revan11]

It means nothing though. I imagine Andrew goes in the top 5-6 picks.

 

[Wargreymon90]

First round is for midfielders and generational key forwards.

The headline promises a lot but really delivers nothing, with Chris Davies saying,

“We wanted to trade up the order and have the greatest flexibility in terms of a type in addition to high talent.” he [Davies} said.
“We will go in with a mindset of picking the best particular player at that level of the draft.”

Geez Chris I reckon most of us could have figured that out.

[Ford Fairlane]

All of that content would come from CD's press conference yesterday, which is reported on the Port website and elements have been quoted in appropriate threads here.

 

[raptalia]

If we do not have a pick between #12, which will probably finish up as #15 and pick #63 and we are going to use low picks on Jase Burgoyne this could be a lean Draft for us.

We could come away from the Trade and Draft periods with Finlayson, the no #15 pick, Jase Burgoyne and a few Rookies. As far as improving our list a lot hangs on who we pick up with #15.

Sooner or later the price we paid when we traded future picks had to catch up with us and maybe this is the year?

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

I think that should be Bonner taking the wing. Great leg when he’s settled and we saw he can kick a goal from outside 50 in the prelim. Let’s get him up the field and out of the backline.

If we draft another outside player to take a wing I’d be so disappointed when we have the outside covered.

Meh. Quality not quantity. This is not the year to have a heap of picks

Perfect year to stay out of the draft. Reset and go again next year. Using our first and burgoyne is plenty.

 

[Nemisis]

His highlights look awesome.

Goater reminds me of David Mundy.

 

[RossFC]

His highlights look awesome.

In the thumbnail I thought I was looking at a young Jarrod Lienert.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Mundy is an awesome player, but Goater is seriously fast.

 

[charcolechaddy]

Mundy is an awesome player, but Goater is seriously fast.

I like Goater.

 

[Established1870]

From what I've seen (not much), Arlo Draper is what we're crying out for in midfield. Would that be correct?

Goater, Draper I’d love to get Arlo for personal reasons, not a flight risk but there are attributes I like better of Goater.

Arlo and JHF have played a lot together also he has a brother who is a jet.

should be considered...

 

[all seeing eye]

Perfect year to stay out of the draft. Reset and go again next year. Using our first and burgoyne is plenty.

AFL rules require a min of 3 selections, so I cant see us doing much more then that. Quality not quantity this year. Prob - best mid available , Burgoyne , Young development Tall Defender.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Still think Nathan Freeman should be considered...

I'm 100% on the Freeman bandwagon. He is the type of mid we need.

Obviously better disposal would be ideal but he's no worse than Danger for example.

I have no idea what Andrews will do in the draft, but IMO if he is there at our late pick or rookie pick, then grab him. He is in a similar boat to most of the African boys in that footy is not in their culture, and they have to learn and develop a lot more than the other lads. But his eye/hand/ball co-ordination is innate. His vertical leap is outstanding, and in the little I have seen of him, he has intelligence. All these are things you cant teach ... The things you describe you can teach & develop.

If he goes as a later pick, I reckon he is worth being on a list, an earlier pick is a big risk though.

He’s a melb nga listed player. If he doesn’t get bid on in the top 20 he joins melb. He’s expected to go early I think..
