LIVE FROM 7PM AEST: Watch the 2023 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft

 

[tiger_tough]

Probably unlikely in the MSD but I reckon James Trezise from our VFL side will make it onto an AFL list at some stage.

2.5 weeks later...

 

[Junk yard]

Sam Lowson can play!! Deserved a crack at it. Really disappointing that he didn't get a spot on a list.

Too lazy defensively

Pick 9 - Essendon - Jaiden Hunter

I have a die-hard Perth supporter friend who still attends all their games. He said to me: "If Hunter goes we won't win another game except against the Eagles"

if he finishes the year strong could still see someone take a punt in the rookie draft

Hilarious watching how much Ryan Maric got talked down in the media given that Eagles had pick 1. Went from certain number 1 to nomad in the space of a fortnight. All of a sudden he was barely top 30 quality in this years draft when he was rated much higher in the weeks leading up.

Vicbias on draft nights makes the crap unwatchable nowadays. Think ill just stick to the blogs

Not sure what media you were watching but the hype was real around this kid, even up to yesterday.

Remember that this is a rookie draft, these kids aren't cream of the crop they're state-league top-ups at best normally, so when the panellists were saying he'd be "top 30" in the National Draft that's actually a pretty big compliment.

Wish the eagles had taken him with pick 1.his comeback from the acl has been outstanding

Maric's comeback from obesity was pretty impressive too.

Huh? Must of been the WA media talking him down.. the speculation in vic was he was a certain number 2 pick if WC didn’t take Buller or Hunter (Wa boys) with pick 1

Can you let us know who had him “rated much higher in the weeks leading up” than top 30 quality?
Or are you just making this up.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Cal Twomey literally said during the draft coverage he would go in the top 30.

 

[LordLucifer]

I've always thought Narkle should become a very good player but for reasons unknown, he just teases everyone with flashes of brilliance.

Port have taken him on and could be well rewarded if he finally reaches his true potential. However, if he just wants to coast along, this will be the last club in the AFL for him.

Holy shit it must be terrible walking around everyday with those massive chips on your shoulder.

Nothing of the sort happened.

Narkle lacks defensive workrate. Always has and i dont see it changing.

 

[lionshine]

Kai Owens was linked with Port, genuine chance to be picked up at the ND this year I think. He has looked very good at VFL level for the Dolphins.

 

[Mutineer]

Anyone looking for a ready to go midfielder could do worse than have a look at Woodville-West Torrens Mitch Hardie, absolutely killing it in the SANFL.

Bump...

 

[WilloTree]

...and this is being kind.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Woodcock was very unlucky imo

 

[Snake Charmer]

Bump...

Nice call.. admittedly I’ve never heard of him till Wednesday.

 

[ZionMig22]

Swans dodged a bullet with Oscar, absolute hack

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I was trying to be kind because hes one of the nicest humans you will meet in footy.

But yes defensively he is worse than poor and isnt suited to the modern game.

The irony is the very best player often lack D.... just depends if you are good enough. Narkle is good..but not that good. He reminds me of a guy I used to work with... he siad he rocked up to play u19s at Geelong as the best kid from Thomson. Said he could play centre well in their group. He found himself at U19 ..knee deep in centre men all as good or better than him. For the first time in his footy experience he was asked to play as a defender. Within a month he was back at Thomson playing in purple.

 

[Vindicater]

Hunter did okay in his debut.

Found it hard to find space in the VFL compared to the WAFL.
