List Mgmt. 2022 AFL Draft & Rookie Draft

Can someone tell me the logic of trading up in this year's draft when A we don't have to and B giving up a prime asset in probably next year's FRP in a better draft from all reports ?

The main reason would be to get an extra quality draftee in this year with the age profile of our list as it is. Would depend largely on the homework that's been done on the player in question and the value compared to next year. Nothing wrong with keeping an open mind in the lead up to the draft.

This place is slowing down. So, let’s play a game. I just read a Phantom that had all the ‘H’ players still available at #11 (Ashcroft bid included). Yes I know, I joked about this before, but it actually could be reality. Humphrey was listed as our pick, followed by Hollands, Hewett, Hayes, Hustwaite and Hotton at 20.

So, the game is - which ‘H’ do you pick if we stay at 11 and have to pick a ‘H’. Your Top 3 in order.

Hewett, Humphrey, Hollands for mine.

Hewett, Hollands, Hotton.

However... with Humphrey still on the board, I'd be betting a bunch of teams with picks in the mid-teens would be interested in trading for our pick (I just don't see him fitting us, but good value at that pick). So I'd be talking to the likes of Sydney and GWS about a trade, with the potential for picking up two of the H's - one of the 3 above and hopefully Hayes.

Fair points, I just don't want us to give up our first round pick next season, given I feel that after the first 3 or 4 selections, the top end of this draft seems relatively even

I will admit I am not a keen draft expert or watcher though.

You'd like to think if we were giving up a first next year there'd be a decent 2nd on its way back from one of the clubs expected to finish bottom 4. Geelong gave us their first for Tuohy and a second and only dropped a few spots.

 

[Stamos]

I guess we will see, but suspect most recruiters will see things differently.

It sounds like there are very mixed opinions of the recruiters on a bunch of players, and the order

And next year our first pick will be in the 17-20 range anyway....

Gee, these guys do a power of work!

WAFL Player Focus: Elijah Hewett (Swan Districts)

THE FABLED speed-endurance mix is something many modern day midfielders aspire to enhance, and it is a trait Swan Districts talent Elijah Hewett weaponises. Three games into his WAFL League career, the solidly built ball winner has carried on from the bottom-age form which had him poised as...

I've gotta say, i'm not much of a rap for Hewett or McKenzie relative to their seeming rating. I qualify this by saying i haven't seen as much as i'd like to to make really firm opinions, but yeah, they look pretty bog average 3rd mids for a middle of the ladder team to me.

They are the 2 top ranked players i hope find other homes than ours.

Draft Guide supposed to be out today.

Hewett seems to be sliding massively on most peoples boards

Yes true hence anything is possible from 5-13 in this draft. Clubs like us are probably are going to wait till draft night depending if any of our most highly rated players look likely to drift down the order to our selection.

Can someone remind Cal Twomey there are more teams picking in the draft than *? If I see another article on * pick 4 plans I'll go postal

Seems to be the first unknown at that pick.

Ashcroft, Cadman, Sheezel, Wardlaw

Then it's the same 6 or 7 guys sliding up and down. The Bombers pick is the dam wall for Phantom Drafts.

Giants and North have pretty much already selected their players. Essendon have the first live pick. It's understandable why he's writing about it.

* are flag favourites, naturally they will attract a lot of media interest this time of year......

I'm so glad we are no longer in the running for off season champions.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

I’m in favor of holding 10 and hoping one of the predicted top 8 slides and then trading our future 2nd to get another pick in the 20-25 range.

Going in with 3 picks under 30 plus securing acres and holding everyone we wanted to would be a great result.

Importantly, also means we hold onto our first for next year in a supposed strong draft.

I like the idea of that but looking at who holds those second round picks I can’t see any realistic reason why anyone would trade for our future second rounder until possibly GWS at pick 31

 

[Foucault1989]

Hurry up draft!

Good pickup Bruce.
