Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids.
Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish.

Trade speculation belongs here.
That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades.

Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk belongs here.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Which club bids on Walter? Shinbeggars? Hope we do.

 

[Big Hotdog]

choosing between Watson, Duursma and Curtin is like picking a favourite child. like yeah you definitely have one (for example in my family it's me) but it's still a hard decision!

No one has told you yet have they....

Your adopted

 

[Topiary]

Imagine the melts on here if we pick caddy.

If he or OSullivan are still there then I think our 2024 first will be traded or at least attempt to be traded on the night.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Slaatybaadfaast]

I think we can put this one to bed. North will definitely be taking Colby - they've been into him for months. I reckon half of us would keel over in shock if he's still there at our pick. The question is who they will go for with their other pick - Curtin or Duursma?
And then of course the fun game of everyone guessing if we'll go for Curtin/Duursma or Watson

So if this shock sequence of picks eventuates, we'd take McKercher?

The draft is a week away right?

Edit: 20th and 21st Nov

With some of the crazy repetitive sh*t being spit in here you'd hope so

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[I got the outside word]

He is the one. The speed, the disposal, the taps to advantage, goal sense and assists. Game changer, he doesn’t need to be any taller.

I’ve got dummies, I’ve got toys and I’ve got cots, don’t make me use them please.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Thank the footy gods, only one week tomorrow left until draft 2023!

I am so looking forward to season 2024. Lots of internal improvement left in this group and they all seem motivated to improve!

An then add traded in players and draft players to the team. Exciting times ahead!

 

[hawkinoz]

So if this shock sequence of picks eventuates, we'd take McKercher?

If he is still there at pick 4, will someone hit us up with over the top offers. Which club is most likely to be ultra keen to get him.

GWS? would they swap their pick 7+f1 for 4 or Demons with 6+F1

I'm back on the Watson wagon.

Can't help but smile watching his highlights.

Watching the Wiz and Ginnivan working in the same forward line for the next 10+ years would be fun.

 

[VandoHawk]

Watson just seems like an extremely low risk decision:

• 10+ year A-grade small forward to pair with the talented group we have.
• Ginnivan/Watson is an extremely marketable duo.
• Aligns with our desire to bring in more scoring power.

Even if I believe Curtin has higher potential upside I think Wiz is the one.

 

[TylerDurden]

Most are coming around to the Wizard now.

The interesting call is Duursma if available.

Whispers Clarko wants the tall, in Curtin.

Then we choose between Duursma and Wiz. Not easy.

I think we are hoping Duursma slips through to our pick. His form in the second half of the season was probably the best of any draftee. Highly talented and a perfect list fit for need.

Im still on the zane train

Im still on the zane train

Id guess our order goes… Harley, Jed Walter, Zane, McCercher, Watson, Curtin….. Caddy, Sanders, O’Sullivan…

Cmon mofos you know you wanna

I'm still on the curtin...rod

 

[KeeperLeaguer]

We all are. If North take Curtin & Colby we'll be all over Zane quicker than a $50 hooker on a drunk lawyer.

Rumour has it that Watto only grew 1cm since that photo

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Same, Zane is the bigger prospect with the highest upside / less weaknesses out of the two. It would still be a tough choice between the two though.

IMO we will 100% take him if he's available.

 

[Roddy]

I'm still on the curtin...rod

I’m still on the curtin rod(dy) too, but it’s good to know that if we miss him, or they decide not to go with him, we’ll still get McCabe…
