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.

Moore didn't slide. He was highly rated by Champion Data but I can't find a 2017 Phantom Draft that had him anywhere near early enough to consider a slider.

A fee minutes of looking and while he wasnt expected to go first round, pick 67 still seems like a slide from these predictions.

I took it that he was surprised West Coast didn’t get a trade done with Adelaide

I reckon he was expecting WCE, North or us to trade back in to get him.

 

[Brishawk]

What do you mean? Stephens could be picked up by any other club at this point, and I imagine his agent hasn't been sitting idle either. He'd be negligent if he's not trying to sound out better offers.

If we promise to delist and rerookie and dont do it no other player will trust us.

Club Academy background​

The Club Academies were created to engage and develop underage talent in non-traditional AFL markets such as New South Wales and Queensland. They are a joint initiative between the AFL, AFL Affiliates and the four Northern AFL Clubs (GWS Giants, Sydney, Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns), and are aimed at increasing the opportunities for young people in NSW and QLD to learn about and play the game of Australian Rules football. The four Northern AFL Clubs are incentivised through draft concessions for their role in growing the Australian Rules talent pool in NSW and QLD, and ultimately strengthening the State and Community leagues in those states.

You made the Wiz very, very happy!

Hopefully we can move up the order and get Ollie Murphy or Logan Morris.

Gee, no wonder moore slid!

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I suppose it depends on how it was all explained to Stephens. Do we know for sure we gave them a hard promise that he'll be rookied, or did we tell him that we will look at giving him a rookie spot if things fall his way?

Plans change, so if a player we didn't expect to last falls to a rookie list spot then I hope we go for them. Having a player at the very edge of being on a list not trusting the club isn't a big issue IMO. It's rough on him personally of course.

 

[unitedhawk]

If Dear, 2J, Lorenz or Delean slip through to the Rookie Draft I'd rather we use a rookie spot on them than Stephens.

We are Hawthorn. We don't do that.

They exist to ensure commercial success through priority access to under age talent. That is it. The game development benefits are secondary. The afl funds them meaning hawthorn and other clubs (and in fact the players) subsidise this through lower distributions of tv rights and other afl revenue.

I don't think Tom Morris saying "Likely top 30 counts" because he could have said that about 50 different players. That Pick 31 is the earliest I could find him, but he was also rated in the 50s by Knightmare and 44 by AFL Draft Central.

The point is that the difference between being considered top 10 and going in the 20s or 30s is a far more meaningful slide than being considered Pick 44 and going 67, even if there isn't much of a difference in total picks slid.

We are not campaigners.

We've shipped of club legends for chump change. We certainly are campaigners when we want to be.

Could not agree more.

We've shipped off club legends for chump change. We certainly are campaigners when we want to be.

AC and his team certainly did.

You're looking at an apple and calling it an orange.

There weren't any broken promises when the club legends were traded.

BMI and skin folds would be off the charts if that height was accurate

 

[Lord_Espos]

What time is the second round of the draft on please?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It’s a bit ruff that Mitch Edwards has slid.

 

[bigmaxi]

We are not campaigners.

To me its a stamp of quality, like a brand you can trust. That's where faith in your footy club holds true. Ask any of the folk who work there, they'll tell ya. We are Hawthorn.
