Analysis 2023 Draft Watch

[ABigOlDoofus]

Wasn't there a rumor about "issues"?

Heard some very, very nasty stuff about his off-field behaviour, and his suspension earlier in the year seems to reflect that.

May have absolute tanked interviews, or the rumours have some truth and some clubs just want nothing to do with him.

 

[Opium]

Not really. They picked blokes that others with about 40 prior selections didn't want.

Sounds like they picked players you liked though.

Considering their first selection was 35. They ended up with Cooper Simpson and Ollie Murphy.

 

[Soapy V]

I’m looking forward to Austin’s comments and can they play Seniors next year?

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Just east a fraction

Sorrento!?! No beach! Ridiculous main street, too many punters, how does anyone enjoy themselves in the squishy bit? Mind you have surfed Centrals with no one out...

Good thing is we are finally at a stage where we don't need them to. Great that Hollands was able to perform well at AFL level but it is no longer an expectation for our draftees

 

[Blue and Silver]

It's not just interviews. Clubs talk to teachers, coaches etc.

If you have a reputation, they find out

Archie Roberts and Schuenmaker sliding massively. I think it's one of those drafts where picks 20-50 comes down to the eye of the beholder.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Koen Sanchez, Jack Delaney other sliders

So will all the players that have nominated for the national draft that don't get pick go on the list for the rookie draft tomorrow?

 

[GT619]

Watching Wilson’s highlights he’s played a bit of mid and has kicked a few goals on the run attacking from defence

Looks nice and balanced, good kick and takes game on

Gets involved

Back him in now I guess

 

[KohPhi]

Rookie central lists strengths as - Kicking.

Person on internet says he's a ball butcher.


Hmm, who should I believe?

I’ll be very interested to review this draft on a few years. Looks like a lot of good players between 20-50.

Plenty of flaws amongst the group. Possibly we can blame the Covid years for some ordinary development.

 

[Kernafides]

Can only comment on Simpson highlights but looked one paced, one sided and didn't add anything to what we already have bullwise

 

[BigFrizz36]

Considering their first selection was 35. They ended up with Cooper Simpson and Ollie Murphy.

Apart from Lachie Neale (who's height put many off) I'd be interested to hear of any like Cooper Simpson who have been successful without being drafted in the top 10.

Ollie Murphy might be o.k. but you'd imagine he's probably at least 3 years away from being able to play on gorillas. Long time to wait to see whether he makes it or not.

The beauty of it us that by going to Fremantle if either of them end up being any good we can just take them off their hands.

[Pablito]

Some notable names still available..

Shoenmaker, Stevens, Philactides, Carroll

 

[bluesDeluxe]

Johnston, good player.

De la rue might slide for us tomorrow. Maybe delean also.

Yes

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

There is no one left who I would give a two year deal to.

Happy to head to rookie draft.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

That’s 3 now not even rated by Fox Footy…

And yet 3 players they rated in the 20’s still on the board!!

Could we use 60 if there was still someone there.? Aware that there is slightly higher cost and longer contract involved.

I lived on the Peninsula for twenty years! Had a beach Box!! It's where the fox hunters used to hang the dead foxes in Balnarring Rd. When I first moved down there I was challenged by a long term local (born and bred type as to where is it and what's it mean)
I'm an official twenty year Domana local, I lived there when they won one game a year! The young Wilson kid was two years ahead of my son at the Primary School. Don't like the Drugmana slur, it's actually the heart and soul of the Peninsula, unlike our cousins from the pointy bit, blow in's really....
Nuff said, my daughter still lives in McCrae, now that's a beautiful spot..

Ps…one of my boys played footy at Sorrento and Rosebud, and is great mates with Sam “Rat” Fowler.
He played for our 2’s a few years back…still the best junior footballer I’ve ever seen.
Can’t believe he didn’t make an AFL list…reminded me of a Boomer Harvey
