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.

Schoenmaker….you know it makes sense

 

[RoughysMullet]

Dodo looks like every 40-50 year old bloke who you see at the bar creepily and feebly trying their luck with the 20-somethings.

He was getting very creepily close to that girl on the computer

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Making out like taking a NGA at pick 39 when no one can match a bid is some big brain move, and even crossing to another reporter to highlight it. This panel are ****ing slow.

 

[Brishawk]

Now now now

This seems like the least we could do after you guys cost us a 2nd year Brownlow medallist

Im sending finn over to your place next if you arent careful

It's a low bar for the bloke who took a flag winning team in 2000 to their longest finals drought of all time.

 

[Hawk1986]

Pick 40 plays like Clayton Olivier

 

[VandoHawk]

Koen Sanchez, Ollie Murphy or ZZ Top would be good value picks if they last to 46.

 

[Scrads]

Dodo gets his outgoing sniper move that Wrighty robbed him of

 

[Dipper]

Lol, I love how Watson has overtaken Duursma in the poll, only since we drafted him.

 

[hfc70]

Looks like a lot of recruiters watch footy with a bucket of KFC

Dodo right now…

 

[Faraway Hawk]

Murphy gone

 

[CHUBBSS]

I keep hearing it’s a shallow draft, but the kids coming through look faster, stronger, taller, more skilled and better conditioned then ever before, essentially far more ready for modern afl.

Running power seems to have improved across the board significantly.

 

[Mitch75]

Will it be Schoenmaker or Lorenz?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

LOL graphic says Murphy is a bolter.

 

[Brishawk]

Lol, I love how Watson has overtaken Duursma in the poll, only since we drafted him.

Oh shit! Better change my vote and edit all my posts to make me look good in five years time

 

[hawkinoz]

4 more picks to go

Still have Freijah, ZZ, George Stevens, DeLean, Shoenmaker or even Lorenz.

Any one of them would be great

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Pick 40 plays like Clayton Olivier

They always mean 'stylistically' rather than to the level of. Can be misleading.

Was standing over the young female staffer, not the best look

Pretty sure Wiz been in front since the thread started.

Professionalism has improved out of sight over the past few years. It means players come in ready to play AFL far more than they used to, but with less improvement left in the tank.

 

[KermitJagger]

Nah he wasn't, Duursma was in front until at least the point North got the compo pick.

 

[cryptor]

Expecting we’ll just use 46 on Dear and then dip

 

[VandoHawk]

Very interested to see what we do with our pick.
Taking a player, trading it out or just picking Dear all have implications for our list numbers.

Yeah. Its like saying that thanasis antetokounmpo plys like giannis antetokounmpo
