I heard somewhere he struggled with long Covid for much of the year. He’s a strange case really, because he had a great year last year, and impressed enough as a 17 year old to gain a senior SANFL berth (and also performed well there iirc) in 2021. He hasn’t just stagnated this year, he’s had a significantly worse year, and I can’t help but feel like there’s external forces (ie. illness) at play and that in hindsight he’ll end up being drafted far later than he really should have been.
All of this is just gut feeling of course, but it’s really hard to ignore what he did last year in favour of concentrating on a year where nothing went right for him.

With his 192cm, I'd enjoy page after page of hopeful talk of him adding another inch or two - all being patiently rebuffed by Gone Critical

They have no choice I suppose. Not much left.

Maybe he wasn't performing so they were trying to get something out of him.
I would also expect experienced recruiters would be aware of something like that.
But then again. I have no idea. He may well be picked in the 1st round.
Yeh, Tony Bamford stated as much

The AFL Draft is just two weeks away.
Is your club’s next star about to arrive?
To shine a light on this year’s pool and give you an insight into how the national draft might play out, Chris Cavanagh, Dan Batten and Jordan Pinto played the role of club recruiters in a mock draft of the first two rounds.
The mock is a reflection of club needs and their own opinions, and factor in father-son and academy bids.
It is a different exercise to our phantom draft, which predicts who your club might pick in the draft from inside intel.
Who did your club land in the mock draft? Find out below.
WHO WE’RE PICKING FOR
Chris: Brisbane, Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn, West CoastDan: Fremantle, Gold Coast, GWS, St Kilda, Western Bulldogs
Jordan: Adelaide, Carlton, Geelong, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Sydney
YOUR CLUB'S MOCK DRAFT HAUL
Collingwood
Henry Hustwaite (pick 18), Coby Burgiel (pick 28), Harry Barnett (pick 30)
18. Collingwood – Henry Hustwaite (Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country)
Midfielder/defender, 195cm, 82kgChris says: The Magpies know plenty about this young midfielder, who can also be deployed across half-back. Hustwaite’s brother Campbell is a co-captain of the Magpies’ VFL team. The younger brother possesses clean hands, one of a few some similar traits he has to Scott Pendlebury. Another quality midfielder would be a good fit for Collingwood.
28. Collingwood – Coby Burgiel (Gippsland Power/Vic Country)
Midfielder/forward, 183cm, 80kgChris says: Firmly in the frame to be a second-round selection, Burgiel’s versatility is one of his key strengths. He can play half-back, half-forward or on a wing and have an impact. He is super quick which allows him to break the lines and has sound skills by hand and foot - traits which would suit the Magpies.
South Australian Harry Barnett is the best ruck in this year’s draft. Picture: Dylan Burns/AFL Photos
30. Collingwood – Harry Barnett (West Adelaide/SA)
Ruck, 202cm, 97kgChris says: The Magpies have indicated some interest in selecting a young ruckman in this year’s draft and Barnett is the best available. While he has been a little inconsistent at stages this year, his best has been eye-catching to say the least. Collingwood lost Brodie Grundy during the trade period this year, after Max Lynch departed last year. Darcy Cameron and Mason Cox will have the ruck duties covered next year, but the club’s big man stocks for the future are thin.
Where did pick 79 come from, I thought we only had 4 live picks?

We're only going to take a maximum of 4, because we're going to re-rookie Murley, but technically we have 5 spots available, so we take 5 picks into the draft. They award you extra picks at the end of the draft for each spot you have available.

TheBrownDog
Technically we do have 5 spots available, as Murley has been delisted and isn't on the rookie list yet. So we can change our list profile from 36 + 6 to 37 +5 - giving us an extra theoretical senior list spot - which we're not going to use, because we'll keep it open for Murley in the rookie draft.
No pressure, no possessions and no goals means no impact.
When you’re out of the game and down on confidence you can apply pressure and throw your body around…and by that way have an impact. He’s too timid to do that.
Liked the old system better.
I assume murley for the time being is a DFA & could potentially be drafted in the ND, PSD or before us in the RD effectively opening up the 5th spot for a newbie in the rookie draft
sr36
TheBrownDog
Correct. He's in the same position as Hugh Greenwood was last year when the Roos signed him as a DFA - although I think the DFA window may have closed.
If we've delisted him to move him to the rookie list, I'd say we'd be quite happy if another club added him before our rookie draft selection, as I suspect we've only done that for extra flexibility in case there's someone we're really keen on at the end of the draft and thus didn't have to risk him going before the rookie draft. It's not like the past times we've done it, when it's had the clear reason of opening a fake list spot so we can take in more picks with father son points.

When you watch him in highlights reels bounding away from players, it's hard to reconcile with that sprint time.
He also seems to have reasonable reaction times with his smothers, ability to pick up the ball below his knees and changes of direction.
He may not have a tank, but he has few problems with his athleticism. It's a strength.
Buddy Franklin wasn't in the top 10 in any category in his draft testing either. But he has moved beautifully through his career and Keeler is a better overhead mark.
