Sticking this at the top of each page. If it gets annoying, let me know and I can just put it in the original post of the thread. Credit to Lore

"The focus going into the AFL Draft was to refresh our midfield group. Chad is a left-footer, he's really hard at the footy, he's got an upbeat personality and we really like his attack on the footy and his use of the ball. His ability to influence the contest is really impressive." (Sydney Swans General Manager - Recruiting and List Strategy Kinnear Beatson)

That ability to go above and beyond to do the 1%ers. Nailed him at pick 39.

So good they got his kicking leg wrong.

Just quietly the most explosive breakaway player imo is Oli Hottin. Has that breakaway pace and strength.

Say we get Pick 7 from GC (in the Bowes trade) should we consider Mattaes Phillipou (SA gun mid/forward) who Port are likely to take with pick 8?

 

[Yawkey way]

I hope we have a great trade and draft because I’m really over this.

Having just completed his 16th season, Selwood also broke Hawthorn great Michael Tuck’s record (40) for most finals. He also now has 22 finals wins. Incredibly, that’s the same amount as St Kilda.

I really like him, but at pick 7 there will be some really good prospects at that pick. He's another safe bet good player. I hope we just chase the best available at that pick.

Yes

Love the look of this kid

Is the go home factor a consideration here?
He looks great disposal (key criteria for mine) but geez be annoyed doing a deal in 2 years with port for him at lesser value when we could’ve taken a Vic kid
I know , back yourself in to keep them blah blah but NWM is already going to be a challenge so we want another

Doubt we take Humphrey. Can’t kick

 

[_Maximus_12]

Wouldn’t mind a pick between 10-15 to grab Hollands.
Take a punt on Humphreys kicking at 9, and get a safe bet in Hollands.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't take him if that's how it fell

 

[hayes]

Doubt we take Humphrey. Can’t kick

I used to think like this but when’s the last time you watched a finals game and thought “yeah it was their precision kicking that won them that final”? Contest and pressure wins finals and grand finals. As long as he’s consistently putting up good numbers I can live with crap kicking.

Yep very simmilar to Owens. I hope we take Hotton or Jefferson. If the above are unavilable

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Sam Crocker was a great kick.
Brodie Murdoch was a great kick.
Leo Connolly is a great kick.

And everybody’s favourite Jack Billing’s is a great kick.

Where has all that got us?

The question with Bailey Humphrey is whether he’s a Dangerfield, Fyfe, Martin, Cripps, Owens type bad kick.

Or a Jayson Daniels type bad kick.

If it’s the latter then pass.

If it’s the former, then if everything else about him stacks up then you simply have to consider/take him.

Fair point

Ironically, Owens is a good kick for goal, but kicks like a wood chopper around the ground. Humphrey seems the opposite.

If we took Humphrey, I’d be tethering him to Crouch and Steele for multiple preseasons. He’d be crafted into a burst midfielder who rests forward for mine.

If we do manage to pick up JDG somehow should we be looking at drafting busslinger over Mackenzie/Humphries?

And then bring in a KPF/ruckman via draft or trade.
KPD
Midfielder
KPF

We then would meet all areas of need.

I’m coming around to the idea of Jefferson if all the good kids are gone. Maybe even Hewitt if the go home factor isn’t to high

Danger was the worst kick on the ground. 40% DE at some point. Still finished about best on ground

being a good kick is worth nothing if you can’t get the ball. Getting lots of the ball but being a bad kick isn’t worth too much either.

What we need is elite kicks who can get lots of their own ball.

They are easy to find

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

They are easy to find

Since it’s difficult maybe we should try and get two picks in the top 10 to really hedge our bets

 

[Drop Kick]

If he's flawed then we'll definitely pick Humphrey at our pick.

 

[Saint_Dos]

Do we have any NGA kids outside of McKenzie who we wont be able to bid on?

Do we have access to Beilby or McLennan seeing as they weren't drafted last year and played U18's again?
Thinking more as a Cat.B rookie spot than anything.

Yes both can be drafted on the cat b list again

Sam Latreille probably the only other chance as far as I know as a cat B rookie
