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.

 

[I got the outside word]

Harley and Watson were still best on ground…well I’m sure that’s what the followers will say .

If you have another point of view you are more than welcome to post that?

Rogers easily BOG.
Then - Roberts, Simpson, Curtain and Caddy.
Sanders had a lot of the ball but his decision making is a concern for mine.

Harley was concussed and taken out of the AFL academy game.

Think he had only 13 touches up to around end of 3rd quarter. And most were from playing in backline (from reports). Did anyone watch? In the few games against senior bodies Reid seems to have been most effective down back - is that a concern?

Thanks, strange no write up in the papers today. Also no real look at the mid season draft in the press as yet!?

Jack Buller sounds like the player we need in the MSD, but WC will take him.

Got the feeling we go for a Narkle type pick, or nothing at all now.

Very underwhelming list of names. On talent I'd go luke teal although not what we need position wise.

I would not be surprised if the tigers take Teal.

Yeah on talent has to be Teal or Kobe Ryan. Not much else

Why on Earth wouldn't we take anyone at all?

We have list spot(s) available & its a genuine free hit.

The Hawks could take Ethan Stanley from Box Hill. Hawks have consistently taken players from BH in mid and pre season drafts. He had a good game for the Young Guns on the wknd.

How about Clay Tucker?

 

[libbylou]

What about Ryan Maric a forward with Gippsland Power.

Do you need another Ruck?

 

[FB19]

After watching the young guns game v Vic Country if we take from their it’s Maric or luke teal. Despite not a need on talent I’d take teal he was impressive and a good kick.

 

[TylerDurden]

Do you need another Ruck?

No

 

[Mojo]

Got to be best available for MSD, ya reckon.

He does move well. In the games I have watched appears to be a running linking type with decent kicking skills. Probably a wing type if we think we need one in the squad.

I dont know where he previously played (I think it was gippsland way from memory) but does warrant a look. Nothing to lose I guess

 

[Brishawk]

Do you need another Ruck?

Yes. Not sure lynch should keep playing.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

What about Ryan Maric a forward with Gippsland Power.

Has to be either Tucker or Maric with our first pick. Ziggy a rough smokey if Maric gets snapped up by WCE

 

[Brant]

Do you need another Ruck?

Best available for us at this stage, more than positional need. We need more talent. Free talent is the best kind. If he's good (or projects to be good) then we should select him, regardless his position.

Also, it's quite possible that Lynch isn't a future option on account of his recurring issue with concussion.
