Review 2023 National Draft Review Thread II [McKercher, Z.Duursma, Goad, W.Dawson, Hardeman, Maley]

Or Watto.

 

[The acurate one]

So how acurate is the Carl Twomey normally?

Not a huge fan of his work tbh

 

[My Left Foote]

Would need someone to sell me on DeMattia if it were to eventuate. Has pace, but everything else I’ve seen just seems a bit vanilla. And we’ve got enough vanilla on the list.

Sure but we haven’t had vanilla pace since Shaun Atley retired.

It is a MOCK draft. He just makes it up to sell clicks for his employer. There will be a few he gets right and they will claim he has Nostradamus like powers of prediction. On the other hand, the misses will be ignored and forgotten.

He's usually as close as any mainstream commentator. His first round last year was close to the mark, his top 12 was a perfect reflection of what transpired.

He did suggest we'd take Tom McCallum with our second rounder last year though...

I get the impression that North aren't giving very much away on background to journos this year.

 

[JGreezy]

Hard to predict at this point because there will probably be movement from GWS' pick onwards and that will change everything

 

[chairo]

Just wondering is Curtin better than what Grainger-Baras looked last year?

Is this Mick Ablett bloke death riding Shifter Sheehan to take over his job

 

[The Filth Wizard]

go for it roos!

Would be for Leake IMO.

Cal Twomey Phantom Draft
3 Colby McKercher
4 Zane Duursma
20 Harry DeMattia
22 Riley Hardeman
23 Mitchell Edwards

Think I still prefer Fox Footy’s Phantom Draft although I do like Mitchell Edwards.

The outside / inside mid with speed is a need so tick with 3.

Duursma falls into the best at 4, and if that is him, fine with it. Also think the mid sized forward line will be a thing.

De Mattia is a funny one, not a need unless they move him back ....

Which is hy Hardeman is perfect, a definite need,

Edwards also ticks the ruckman box.

Only a KP defender and small forward is missing, although you could mount an argument they are preferring the Duursma type. Collard instead of De Mattie would give us 4/5 of the key needs.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I will be stunned if Edwards goes near the first round, let alone in it.

He is normally pretty good for the top 10 or so, but this year is going to be difficult, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of live trading so it could mess it up completely.

Can play in all 3rds of the ground, competitor, leader, super quick and can run all day. A lot of things we don’t have. Has a long left foot but a little erratic.

 

[speedy]

Heard from a good source Boomer & Spud Firrito are presenting the two first picks with their jumpers. Read into that what you will, I’ve got a feeling it’s McKercher and a big defender!

They are going to play Duursma back.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Cal Twomey looks like he will do another phantom draft tomorrow, obviously with updated information or rumours

Our late mail version of the Phantom Draft will be released on Sunday with all the latest news ahead of Monday night's first round.

Boomer presenting Watson with a jersey would be pretty fantastic.

Most height-challenged ceremony ever.

 

[JGreezy]

If we wanted Curtin then surely we would trade back with Melbourne.

Twomey has Collard going to WC at pick 30? He rated him in the teens. Everyone spooked by the go home factor?

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Once we made the trade yeah it was

But I wanted Tsatas over wardlaw mainly due to his hammies which are still not proven and a risk. And Tsatas being that tall big mid

The big tall mid thats shorter than Duursma? That one?

I couldn’t hate cal twomey’s mock draft any more.

The hff duursma you mean?
Not sure why we comparing those

 

[hilly]

Edwards I really like but character a big question.

Demattia and Hardeman? Would we address KPD?

I keep reading that with no apparent reason. Funny how every single WA prospect has character/homesick issues..

So are we going to get Duursma or Lord Farquaad?

Curtin sounds a decent chance
