Game Day 2023 AFL Draft - The Late Male Edition

[Snuffaluphagus]

It's a strange feeling though, I echo the sentiments of others where I feel so much more excited for this years crop than last years and really, if you look at best 22 teams, the draft last year is actually off to a good start. Looks like two of them are best 22 as it stands (Emmett and Wagner) and those of us watching Peel are pretty big on Davies while Draper started the year really well.

If by round 1 2025, two of these three guys are best 22, then we'll have struck gold.

I really cant wait to watch Simpson in particularly in the first scratchie

 

[FreoGirl]

I think we did well, considering how late our picks were

 

[beelzebob]

Who is the best candidate for jumper 29?

Give it to Simpson and make a big deal about it.

 

[mightymouse75]

Bell and co showed some much needed maturity not trading out next year's 3 x number 1 draft picks and the seconds. (3 ?)

Unfortunately it's going to be a big deal whoever gets no.29.

Pavlich was one of my heroes growing up and his status at the club has not diminished for me. The memories Pavlich created for me were because he was wearing purple and white whilst the number he wore on his back means little to me though.

I find it sad we as a club seem to have created pressure on the player that wears no.29. In 2008 Peter Bell retired. At the time he was a legend of the club and from a playing perspective probably still is. Stephen Hill

wore his no.32 in round one the following season and wore it for twelve seasons. That's how it should be*.

*Wasn't against giving no.29 a season off at the time but not reallocating it after Valente's retirement six years after Pavlich retired was the wrong decision.

 

[freo1997]

Remember Liam Henry getting Sandy’s number then throwing it away for another.

He was just a w***er wasn’t he.

 

[beelzebob]

I honestly think it shouldn't be a big deal. Just start playing the number and getting it back out there. Once fyfe retires we can out up the pav and fyfe statues out the front anyway

So does anyone know what our draft hand is for next year??
Obviously 3x first rounders then ?????

We have three firsts, a second and a fourth.

Based on current ladder that's #5, #14, #18, #32, #68

Final 2024 AFL Draft Order - Draftguru

www.draftguru.com.au

Next year's 1st round shaping up to be almost as compromised as this year. Might not get to 29 picks next year, but will go close. There is another bunch of highly rated academy/FS picks (e.g. Ashcroft rated #1 or #2 currently) and a few FA (e.g. English and heaven forbid Darcy) who would get 1st round compo. There's also 19 and 20 that were given to North, who then traded them.

 

[Swan Districts Kid]

What time is the rookie draft on?

 

[Taylor]

I would expect that we will have an opportunity to buy a very nice pick with a couple of our first rounders from a club seeking points.

Something like pick #10 and F2 to Sydney for Logan McDonald, St Kilda's second round pick to St Kilda for Lance Collard on compassionate grounds, picks #14 and #16 to CLUB for pick #5.

 

[Taylor]

What time is the rookie draft on?

About 20 mins away.

Yeah so our first rounders could end up being in the 20s, which are borderline junk picks.

The system genuinely is stuffed.

The unlucky players who missed out on 2023 AFL draft selection

Will these players earn their way onto an AFL list via a different path?

www.sen.com.au

My preference would be one of Callinan/Sanchez for small forwards, have a couple of potential options pushing would be good.
Then a HBF as others have mentioned, Clohesy has obviously been raised but Matt Carroll from the SEN list 'sounds' like an option.

Also don't understand the Odin link given our list.

Yeah, I was pissed off at the future 2nd for Henry for a reason, the 2nd round in particular is going to be ****ed with it already being two spots back thanks to the North bullshit.

I think the 1st round picks we have are going to be a bit protected at least and I think the noise from AFL teams is going to lead to a change to bidding that should help protect those picks a bit more

 

[Ge3ks]

Did West Coast pass?

Oh that was the pre rookie draft. Three mature players taken.

I have no faith in the AFL changing anything. Especially with their love child Carlton having 2 x Camporeales next year.

 

[Paracleet]

No tracker?

 

[Nodgey]

Hoping for Sanchez. Even if only because Bigger is family, and the potential for ITK info in the future.
