List Mgmt. 2021 Young Talent Time

[Dockernut]

JVR is considered not a reach after what pick?

Pick seven.

 

[Purple Suit]

Just warning everyone... I'm expecting they'll put up JVR's highlights in the coming days and they'll look pretty good and most will jump on the bandwagon and say they will be devastated if we miss out on him.

But as is the way, Freo won't pick him (because they never pick the consensus BigFooty pick(s)) and there will be melts up until the point the players they do choose show they are similarly impressive.

I've been in the wanting JVR camp for a long time but I'm not going to have a massive meltdown when he inevitably ends up somewhere else.

He'll go to some Vic team and then we will hassle their fans every trade week till they finally trade him back to WA in 4-5 years for massive overs. He'll then have issues and we'll say we were wrong all the time, he's no good.

What if our recruiters are just ok at the moment but our development of players is A+. We draft someone with skill who can stay on the park, they have been improved due to the structures and opportunities presented? Maybe getting some decent young tall forwards will be what we need and if they can stay healthy, look out.

We managed to turn a Rookie Tab's into a Key Forward, that is impressive.

Was just looking at the highlights this morning of a few of the top 20 prospects and Goater's stood out to me.

Damn he makes great decisions with the ball, too bad he is from Melbourne.

Gotye?

Or cerra?

 

[Lach72]

in his first kick he gets really close to the man on the marl and barely makes the distance. I don’t think he can kick past 45, if I included what I saw in the state game.

iMO he will be a forward like Bailey Fritsch…thats not necessarily a bad thing…he could be quite good partnered with Sturt.
but I don’t think he’s a key forward

Its the speed of the mark and the lateral movement. Bit of Judd…bit of Stephen Hill

everything between the 17 and 37 second mark, then again at 1.15

There are some pretty big "mids" in this draft. As well as Goater, Knevitt seems pretty powerful, and Johnson is 192cms. Erasmus is shorter but a big, strong body.

Any footage of Knevitt? I like Goater over Johnson. He‘s a lot quicker

 

[Swiggy]

do freo take best available at 6 & 8 then take key forward at 19 like Williams? What’s everyones thoughts?

Best available with 6 & 8 and best available WA tall at 19. I personally think there's a chance that all of Amiss, JVR, Williams and Bazzo will be available at 19.

Best available for me, it's why teams do a draft list (pecking order). No point unless it's followed.

If we have a KPF ranked in our top 10 players and he's next cab off the rank then Bob's your uncle.

 

[Dockernut]

I’m ok with Erasmus and JVR and then whatever happens happens.

 

[Bring back Drum]

Yep, best mid, Rachelle at 6 & 8 & one of those at 19.

I acknowledge that in past years I have had little to no idea including wanting LDU over calls for Cerra and Naughton, and not being particularly thrilled with the idea of Serong (I was Sowrong). Therefore, this year I will decline to comment on specific names except to say that based on the clubs consistent messaging recently (and available in the media thread thanks kindly to Dale), I will be shocked if we take less than 2 tall forwards in our first 3 picks.

My guess (and that is all it is) is if we land Clark with 22, we will take best mid at 6(8) and two talls at 8(10) and 19(?) which could include one or two of the usual suspects we've been throwing around)

Nah, pick your horse, cry foul when we pass on them before immediately backing the kid we do pick. It's the best way to enjoy the draft

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Feels like I say this every year but the wait till the draft is going to be killer =(

 

[Purple Jesus]

Football Christmas is always awesome.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong about wanting LDU. He had a great highlight reel. I was bullish too.
He’s taking a bit longer but he’s going to be a fine player & may outshine Cerra eventually although he’s never going to be as good a kick but few are.

If you like Goaters highlights, check Johnsons, better I think, by a long way and you know, local.

definitely more proven

Johnson reminds me of David Mundy there
