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.

Anyone see the game/footage of Caddy’s 6.4, 25 possessions and 9 marks? Day out!

 

[SSSSSS]

I'm wondering more and more if it might be Delean.
His stocks are rising FAST- were we able to nab him and Caddy that would be massive.

Haven't seen Delean play a poor game yet.

Small forwards that can consistently perform are worth their weight in gold.

 

[daniel23]

We are getting one of caddy, Watson or duursma which is exciting because they all have xfactor which is what we desperately need. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we try to move up for o'sullivan he looks likely.

His stocks rising could be bad for us because some other team could pounce with a late first rounder

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Do I think Harley Reid is a good player
Yes

Do I think he is that far ahead of everyone else
No

While he will be a very good player, i think we do well adding a Watson,Caddy, Duursma (hopefully 2 of) and Mccabe

Very similar to Kozi Pickett in his draft year, the closer the draft game the higher his stocks rose

O'Sullivan the one for me. Big upside, versatile and will be a monster

If Caddy is as good as advertised he is a good fit for us but there is not much in those highlights. No contested marks. Didn't hit team mates with alot of his possessions.
I'll reserve judgement. Hopefully he plays the rest of the champs.

 

[PLATTS44]

The wizard if available at our pick then caddy or duursma.

 

[PLATTS44]

hope we get the wizard i really enjoy players that sit on heads.

 

[kenneje]

The wizard if available at our pick then caddy or duursma.

At this stage it looks like we'll get one of those three, which is really really ****ing exciting.

I worry about his kicking.

Does play in front and can lead to the ball carrier which none of our forwards do that well.

He would slot right into the Gunston role for us.
Seems like he has similar athletic abilities and works hard.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Agree not overly enthused about him based on those highlights. Jumps under it a lot and seems to have Kosi hands at times. Scrappy. Maybe it was that v windy day recently.

Reminds me of roughy. Want. Want. Want.

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Reminds me of roughy. Want. Want. Want.

Reckon Curtin lopes and kicks a lot like Roughy. Caddy moves and plays more like Curnow.

 

[naysayer]

Think it can be fairly said that both Caddy and Curtin are in a special category of talls. Kicking a bag speaks for itself, but racking up close to 30 touches shows both a very good level of fitness, and that their teammates and coaches trust them to use the ball. Either of them would be fantastic.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[TylerDurden]

Harley. 3 shots on goal already.

 

[Roby]

One thing I notice with Reid is that he may not me the quickest player but he makes up with his quick decision making whether it be his movement of the ball or with ball. Very similar to Sam Mitchell.

 

[Roby]

Curtin just eating up everything, I wonder what he's wingspan is. Had good pack mark not paid by the umpire which I think would've been paid in the AFL.
