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):

 

[Coobk001]

I haven't seen enough of all the candidates but I don't want Wanganeen.

To me Hobbs looks like the quick reflexed inside/outside type of mid we need. Looks like there's a plethora of taller mids around our pick which I don't feel addresses our issues, but who knows how good they good become given there's some speed amongst them.

But hey, as long as it is a balanced NATURAL mid I'm happy. No pure outside.

Don't know that NWM and Burgoyne being a similar types is a issue so much as we may feel that Nasiah is potentially a much better footballer in which case we grab him.

Issue is do we think he's a better than Sinn?

Sinn looks likely to develop an inside game?

I've always been a big wrap for Nasiah but I don't see a inside game and I really think he's a fair bit higher in the draft than I thought he would be for what he's showing so far.

RICHMOND national recruiting manager Matt Clarke says there are four players in line to be taken with its first selection at Wednesday night's NAB AFL Draft.
Clarke said the Tigers, who currently own pick No.7 which will likely be pushed out to No.9 following father-son bidding, would keep a simple strategy.
Speaking on AFL.com.au's NAB AFL Draft Countdown, Clarke agreed one of Josh Gibcus, Jye Amiss, Josh Ward or Ben Hobbs would likely become a Tiger.

We want them to take Hobbs because that could lead to Ward sliding our way

Hobbs won't slide.

 

[shewho]

Twomey is convinced by his top 6- JHF (NM); Darcy (WB); Callaghan (GWS); Daicos (CL); Andrew (GC); Rachele (AD). The fun will start with Hawthorn.

From the Richmond guy’s comments Gibcus Amiss Ward and Hobbs look likely to fall 7-10. Erasmus would also go to one of the WA clubs, you think leaving Sinn Wanganeen-Milera Goater Sonsie and Johnson to go 12-16.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

At pick #12 no matter which way the earlier picks go, a quality player will fall our way.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Pick whoever:

Can kick on both feet
Is not short
Is not skinny
Can run all day
Can tackle
Cannot be tackled
Can find the ball
Can win contested possessions
Has blistering pace
Regularly goes forward to kick goals

Thanks

[Long live PAFC]

If Hobbs and Sinn are both there, sell next years first rounder and get them both in the door. Maybe the same if Johnson was there.

key is first point - very versatile - that's a danger, ok at most things, elite at nothing, the old utility type description.

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Not fussed about trading in Luko. Given what it would cost, I wouldn't be basing our list management strategy around the idea.

I'm not saying he's a pleb, but Trent Mckenzie is a better player right now and we got him for a bag of chips. Unless Luko turns into a genuine gun Defender, he's barely worth a 1st. We don't need defenders who aren't top tier defenders. We have already got Aliir as the 3rd KPD who penetrates with his run and carry. We have Bonner who doesn't really defend. We have Jonas who doesn't really do much of anything. Someone actually has to defend. Spending 2 1sts for a guy who would only be a 3rd KPD right now is batshit crazy. You might as well take those 2 firsts and spend them on these KPPs in the 2022 draft I keep on hearing about. Play Todd Marshall as the tall guy who can't defend but has a good field kick.

2018 pick 12 - Zac Butters- rinse and repeat please.

Is he in this draft? That's what I was referring to.

That's my thoughts about Luko. He was drafted as a forward who was described as the second coming of Nick Riewoldt. He's now playing as an okay rebounding KPD. If we spent two first round draft picks for that, I'd be fuming.

no couldnt see him, but who's this guy on nominees list - Zak Pretty, Port Adelaide

Dew said lukosius is playing as a forward next year. He actually said a combo of deep forward, high half forward and wing. It doesnt really sound like what we need, but its a new role.

So a semi-utility. Still doesn't sound like someone we should spend two first round draft picks on.

 

[240volt]

or Luko and Clarko to Porto next yearo

Sounds very Sporting

On paper your 110% correct BUT haha Port have been known to pick one from left field before leaving you with that I’ve never heard of him look on your face

 

[Boak10]

Josh Sinn on 5AA stated he wants to be a part of Port Adelaide! Words spoken include “fingers crossed” and “dream come true”

Get it done Geoff!

 

[Prochard123]

How many picks are you guys taking to the draft?

Would you hypothetically do 36 + 38 for future 2nd + 62?

Even if he gets picked up before our pick I’m sure we will be talking to him in a couple years time.
