[Strapping Young Lad]

National AFL draft Monday November 28(first round only).
All other selections to be held on Tuesday November 29.
The pre-season and rookie drafts will then take place at 3pm (AEST) on Wednesday November 30.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Cam MacKenzie is the answer to all our problems, great balance as an inside and outside mid, a beast around stoppage, quick and damaging forward of centre, 187cm and is a solid defensive mid, as in running both ways.

From what I saw at the APS I don't want him.

Did he play State rep. & if so, is there vision? I haven't found it

 

[tommyk72]

When do the seasons end for all the draft prospects? Mid September?

Are you talking due to on field, off field or other?

On field. Wasn't the player that he looked like in his highlights. Not sure he has the same scope for improvement as others don't think he has the wheels for the size he is.

Interesting, wanna elaborate?

McKenzie's kicking worried me after the Championship games I watched. However, I'm happy giving him the benefit of the doubt because I haven't seen that listed as one of his usual flaws.

Reminds me of Roughy. Very similar player.

If we moved up the order would we look to Cadman or a midfielder.

If we moved up it would be for a midfielder

 

[SSSSSS]

Hopefully we go a mid and fwd for picks 1 and 2.

Or vice versa.

Looked erratic in some of his highlight reels too. Hard to say where it as all cobbled together from.

Lots of times the term 'highlights' seems to denote 'whatever we could find' though.

Brayden George has almost certainly ruptured his ACL. Waiting on results of scans, but seems inevitable, which would hopefully have him back running around Christmas time dependent on when surgery can be booked.
Would mean he most definitely slides a little in the draft, however a prominent player manager at the game yesterday was saying to one of our own here that he’d still go first round even if the ACL is confirmed.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Cadman sounds interesting as a partner in the forward line for Mitch Lewis.

Sheezel slowing down to get to the hawks?

Sheezel slowing down to get to the hawks?

He was pretty ordinary yesterday according to some who were there.

He’s going the tank now.

He was very heavily tagged, was very unlucky not to get a few free kicks from holding on. You don’t usually see many players get that much attention at that level

Ahhh so Mark McKenzie has promised a rookie spot for the tagger.

It's all going to plan.

 

[I got the outside word]

Where is the best place to go for draft profiles? It seems there is a bandwagon somewhere I need to be apart of.

You'll need to be quick, only a few spaces left

Is this run by The Fat Cadmantroller?

Also not likely to be reflective of the way he'd deal with a tag at the higher levels. Umpiring would be better, plus he's still got an undeveloped frame and will likely grow a few more cm, not to mention he likely wouldn't have had this kind of attention before.
