Draft Review 2021 - Revisit the 2021 AFL Draft

[RedmanWasHere]

Also the legendary Roy Benning who managed to be one an AFL list while playing WAFL reserves for 2 years. I believe his training apathy would make Cam McCarthy jealous

I omitted Benning due to his 0 games.

He'd surely have more intensity than me. (I wouldn't want the life.)

 

[RedmanWasHere]

If interested, some players who didn't get selected and haven't been since:

Charlie Molan.
Lewis Rayson.
Josh Rentsch.
Kade Dittmar.
Kaden Harbour.
Jamahl Stretch.
Isaiah Dudley.
Matthew Dnistriansky.
Toby Triffett.
Max Litster.
Cade Kennedy.
Tyreece Leiu.
Will Bella.
Blayne O'Loughlin.
Lachlan Brooks.
Braden Andrews.
Luca Whitelum.
Baker Smith.
Josh Browne.
Isaac Birt.
Max Chipper.
Austin Harris.
Cooper Beecken.
Morgan Ferres.

Pretty happy with the saints haul so far

How is everyone feeling about this draft in hindsight now?

1. Nick Daicos
2. Mac Andrew
3. Sam Darcy
4. Jason Horne-Francis
5. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
6. Jye Amiss
7. Finn Callaghan
8. Josh Rachele
9. Darcy Wilmot
10. Michito Owens

Feel free to call it bias having Mac at 2, but he's unbelievably good already for a skinny KPD. Would consider him the most untouchable young guy on Gold Coasts list.

I’d probably put him at 4th but jeez he’s good

I couldnt have Mac that high.
but you'd have to be happy with him.
Im very happy with Callaghan for us.

The one missing here who I think is in the mix is Jake Soligio

Nas, Mitch and Windy in one draft - feeling pretty damn good.

This draft is starting to really come together. Some cheap studs are starting to fire.

No Hobbs?

 

[adammania9]

No Hobbs?

Personally I’m yet to be impressed. In the next bunch outside the top 20

 

[Jeremias]

He’s not near the top 10 but Motlop has played some good footy for Carlton.

Our small forwards lack goal sense and creativity in the F50, he’s a real point of difference as he has both in spades.

Hasn’t been seen yet in 2024, hoping he can make a difference across the second half of the season.

You missed Connor Macdonald as well but looking like a pretty deep draft.

Every time I see Soligo play I’ve been impressed

Looking like a super strong draft already.

Nas down at 6 feels low for how consistently good and influential he's been but I get that high ceiling kpp usually get rated higher than his position.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Leek Aleer training the house down

On reflection there were signs

Rightfully not in the conversation yet but I think Toby Conway once he gets some miles in the legs will come on strong

Definitely ... and look how callaghan has come on now he's in the guts more ... should end up top 3 and justify his pick

Hough is number 11.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Feel like JVR is being underrated here. It's a hard job being the team's number 1 key forward with very little help in your 3rd year.

 

[GWS Goose]

Every time I see Soligo play I’ve been impressed

Me too

Yoda_ taking a bloke that can’t kick or tackle at 5 a pass? Asking for a friend.

Feeling very happy with Wilmot and Lohman in how well they have nailed down positions. They are probably going to struggle to push into the top 5 of a strong draft, but a good shout to push into the top 10 at some point

 

[HeHateMe]

Think Connor Macdonald is top 10 from this draft now. What a season he has had.
