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.

WATSON YOU BEAUTY. I will burn afl house to the ground if twomey has this wrong

 

[Rowie6]

I get the feeling it's the other way around on here. Has a real Rambling v Roughead vibe if you were around at that time.

The same coach is in the driving seat of that decision!

I did not want Watson, but now I can't see my life without him.

Hasn't got much wrong outside of the Covid affected 2020 fiasco, where North picked Phillips at 3.

Unless Clarko does a backflip the morning of the draft - and I wouldn't put it past him.

Could not be more excited, we’ve been crying out some x-factor in the forward line for far too long.

That's my concern.

Watson and Curtin would be funny.

No bid on McCabe till 18 would be excellent too

Cal seems to think we're only gonna use the 3 selections so pick 4 + McCabe & Dear.

Pretty boring draft ahead for us

Two first rounders and hanging onto next year's F1st sounds pretty damn good. And Watson is anything but boring.

Would we trade our future 1st to North for one of their picks in the teens?

Not suggesting we should but I just wonder if that's what we are looking at doing. Hence the De Mattia talk.

Serious? That's a raging success.

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

Dan Curtin seems to be this year's Matteas Phillipou, in that he's been linked as high as pick 3/4 but could drift out to 10. Quite a surprise from such a highly talented player.

It seems the only question that remains is whether we take Watson at 4 or trade down for someone else. (Curtin, Caddy, O'Sullivan)

If we simply go Watson as best available witj pick 4 I'll be more than comfortable with that.

 

[perrdan86]

geez it would be nice if we could get our hands on that pick for the Future 1st.

 

[A1fromDay1]

Serious? That's a raging success.

I mean boring as in no surprises as to who we may select.

The anticipation ahead of who we may pick is gone. Eg we were never linked to Conor Macdonald before the draft, so we aren't in store for any surprises.

I'd definitely be rapt with that draft if pick 4 is Watson.

The opposite. Plus don't forget Ethan Phillips. There's a strong possibility we get him too.

no way.

If we are genuinely torn close to 50/50 on Watson and Curtin and the draft goes as Twomey predicts, we’d have to be a good chance to offer up our F1 to each of GWS and Geelong in an effort to get Curtin. Problem is West Coast’s F1 is more valuable.

If I was Giants or Geelong and West Coast offered F1, I’d pull the trigger very quickly. That’s a high chance to be pick 1. I’ll spew if Geelong land that gift

Getting Watson and Curtin would be insane, we would have to try
