Unofficial Preview 2022 Mid-Season Rookie Draft

[Harry O]

With Dean getting a Setback so won't be back until Rd 14 at the Very Earlist might open up a Pick for us

Has to be season ending injury so I don’t think so

Those rules are still very clear, Dave, and we don't have a list spot available. Last year we left two spots open so we could pick up players: AFL confirms rookie rules for SSP, Mid-Season Draft

 

[Markfs]

surely we can sack the madge for not complying with his contract to play football....or for bringing the guernsey into disrepute..

At the Moment - Remember our History with Injuries Recently

With the Bad News that Kreuger needs Surgery and most likely Done for the Season that Give us 1 Pick so Far

Yes - we now have a pick should we wish to use it

Any 22-26 yo key forwards that have made a good start to season in state leagues?

 

[stormskye]

I doubt we will find any KPF hiding in the 2’s. I think serviceable inside mids or defenders are more likely. We are not having much luck between dean, aj and kreuger…

Matthew Hammelman kicked 42 goals in 10 games in the VFL last year for Aspley. He's 197cm. I think is worth considering.

Doubt we go Tall Defender so either be a Inside Mid or a Forward

I don't think we will find any decent kpf in the 2nd tier but I reckon there would be a few strong inside mids that would be worth looking at. Key area for us at the moment, I think we can shuffle some of our other pieces around, but are thin in the middle

 

[pablo disco bar]

Mid season trading needs to be implemented...


Or loaning of players...

 

[grayza2018]

Bad news about Kreugs. If we decide to utilise the spot, are we going a mature ager as a direct replacement, or bank a longer term option who is younger and from any position on field?

 

[whiskeytown]

No point taking a mid in the MSD… we’ve got a bunch already developing in McInness, Macrae, Murley, Harrison (potentially), and the Brown boys… both of whom likely not to make it but are at least improved players at VFL level this year

Plus N Daicos will be a permanent mid soon enough

Take a mature age KPP who can add to our woeful KPP depth

Doesn’t have to be a KPF…

just somebody who we can plug and play down back which allows Moore to switch forward so we’re not so reliant on Cox/Cameron as forwards

If that’s not Fly’s preference…

then a young mid sized intercepting defender is also an area of need

Bailey Rogers from Claremont in the WAFL would be my pick. He's an inside mid who can play forward or back. Won the Sandover Medal as a mid. Strong bodied 24yo. A nice age for our list.

I think you need to be open minded about which position to select. My thinking is to go for someone most likely to succeed irrespective of position. I would be looking for someone under 25yo though.

I disagree about mids. We really lack AFL relevant depth. The young guys are still developing and aren't ready yet. I'd consider an inside mid if the right player was available.

i think its pretty clear we are a mid or two down in rotations through the mid field, aside from the fact that Pendles and Sidey are much closer to the end than we might like. Our key forward cupboard is so bare with injuries to AJ and now NK and the fact our 2 candidates as KPF's are playing back in the VFL in the short term we need JDG to spend time forward and we simply couldnt do it today.

 

[Jen2310]

You'd think they'd put Kreuger on the inactive list to utilize this MSD.

Prob try locate a forward if there is one.

 

[Matt_352]

Kpf, or kpd and shift Moore fwd or an inside mid or a medium intercepting defender. Preferably under 25.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Considering our forward stocks have been smashed with Elliott, Johnson and Krueger all gone, surely we will be looking for a forward, if we enter the MSD. We don't want to have JDG play majority forward, as he is to important in the midfield for us....

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Shame Kelly isn't banging the door down at VFL level. Could have used him down back, and play Moore forward....

I think we'll be drafting for the future and not the present. For the future, in terms of the balance of our kids, we need a top line inside mid and KPPs. We've got a fair few who project to being OK mids but the inside doesn't look strong - and I doubt we'll find a top line insider in this draft. KPPs at this stage are always dicey too. Our list needs are the ones that usually go top 20 in the national draft. Ultimately, I'd just pick the bloke they rate highest - regardless of position.

But if going for short term needs - I'd definitely go the best inside mid available - unless they think there is another Mihocek out there - an undersized tall with smarts and a huge work rate is where you might find some value - with talls who are physically all there and can play - they're well gone by this time.

Yeah i'd go best available too. Though I wouldn't rule out finding a KPP or inside midfielder. Our depth is so young at the moment there are arguments for most areas of the ground. So best available is a good list strategy for us anyway.
