List Mgmt. 2023 National Draft prospects

[Mike Olotripo]

VAFA star on radar of AFL clubs after impressive season

A handful of clubs are looking at VAFA star Sam Sofronidis

Geelong will likely pick him up with their national draft pick I'd say.

Geelong will likely pick him up with their national draft pick I'd say.

That’s why we should swoop early if we really want him. We took Joe Richards in the 40s last year and this bloke is a 23 year old 6”4 intercept defender who starred in a strong league. Worth a punt with a ND pick

 

[Jen2310]

2023 draft hand: 19, 33, 80, 98

Collingwood enters the draft with picks 19 and 33 and will likely use just those two selections.

Coming off a premiership, the Magpies don’t want for much, but using either their first or second-round draft pick on a tall wouldn’t be met with displeasure from their fans.

The last 195cm + tall Collingwood took in first two rounds of the draft that wasn’t a father-son was Brodie Grundy

were taken at picks eight and 10 in the 2006 Draft.

Simply put, the Magpies don’t like using draft picks on talls and instead seem to take them in rookie drafts or acquire them in trades.

You can’t knock their list-building plans as they seem to be perpetually playing in September and won a flag last season, but the Pies could do with some more top-line tall talent coming through.

Apart from that need, the Pies should go with the best available at their pick.

Verdict: Key position.

Geelong will likely pick him up with their national draft pick I'd say.

Geelong are looking at their VFL player Bailey Van De Heuvel

Haha. Sounds like they've been reading bf..

"using either their first or second-round draft pick on a tall wouldn’t be met with displeasure from their fans".

 

[Aussie pie]

Why pick a tall when we can have a versatile average sized player who did well in the beep test at the combine.

Would not rule that out 100%

 

[Soups]

We should of done that with Joe Richards

Or we could see what he does with a full year under his belt.

[Soups]

Need to Imporve a Lot

He improved in the back end of the season when he played.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Some players I’d like with our 2nd/ 3rd pick:
Clay Hall
Joel Freijah
Angus Hastie
Harvey Johnston

 

[Hardas]

So, Dekka being Dekka, I take it we go BPA in the ND, then target need & depth via the RD &/or UFA?

Have I missed any IRLMA's - important, relevant list management acronyms?

Genuine question:

Does anyone give any credence to the analysis of us taking a genuine first ruck prospect in the ND?

As in:
A: there's several good prospects in this pool;
B: Steene is more a second ruck/fwd;
C: Begg is a tall back, at best.

(Sorry, if this's already been discussed at length).

 

[Mick F]

Bit of a let down if you slide through.

 

[Hardas]

Bit of a let down if you slide through.

Yeah, although 'about 15' seems pretty safe.

 

[Albert Parker]

Albert Parker has he played as a defender?

Football brain, hands and good field kick to go with his height for me equals a good second/third tall defender if he doesn't make it as a forward.

His forward craft is very good.
But I believe that Adelaide have been interested in him as a defender given Doedee's departure.

 

[TradeDraft]

B: Steene is more a second ruck/fwd;

Why you say that?

 

[Jen2310]

Why you say that?

Probably because it’s the role he played this year. Whether that remains the same or they have him playing more ruck is a wait and see. The ruck was split between him and beggy with begg playing more ruck and Oscar more forward

SEN really don’t do their homework. The last 195cm+ player we took in the first 2 rounds of the draft was in 2020, Liam McMahon at pick 31.

He did not play 1st Ruck as not Big/Strong Enough

Begg was our Number 1 Ruck in VFL but not many people think he is a Number 1 Ruckman at AFL Level

That’s right. So whether that changes once he gets some meat on those bones we shall see.

Short answer, no.

You're right.

I would if there's one there. I really like the look of Greens highlights.
