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

[Disco Dew]

its a decent trade if we rate pick 4-6 similarly eg (watto, duursma, curtin)

100%

Not sure I believe Footy Rhino, I find it extraordinary that 2 hours before the Draft we are still deliberating over Duursma or Curtin.

Yeah it was a silly post. We're locked in for colby and duursma.

I can understand why he's confused tho, it's bc we've recently been chatting with Curtin. As have many other clubs.

But that's bc everyone has finally realised that Curtin is going to slide and the GWS pick is gettable.

Where are you hearing it?

Yeah I am curious as well. Where are you hearing this from

Totally agree, what's more likely, we are undecided on the order of our draft board an hour before the draft, or for some reason we have not decided to leak our intentions to the Perth c7 reporter!?

We know what we are doing, Perth journo doesn't know what we are doing, sounds much better for his ego to describe us as "still undecided"

 

[Roosurgence]

I’m hearing this is taking momentum….
Surely not

It’s not that bad.

6 could be Curtin, Watson, Sanders etc. Pick will still be a very good player and then we get another stab at 11 or could use 11 and one of the later picks to get back earlier in the order.

Then Duursma turns into a 60 goal a year forward…

If the trade down with Melbourne is accurate, I reckon the draft goes;

1. Reid - WCE
2. McKercher - NM
3. Duursma - MELBOURNE*
4. Walter - GCS (Bid match)
5. Watson - Hawthorn
6. Sanders - WBC
7. Curtin - NM*

It would leave us with six first rounders. Just incredible.

Yep, just draft Duursma.

 

[Roosurgence]

Then Duursma turns into a 60 goal a year forward…

But we could turn Duursma into something like Curtin/Watson/Sanders + O’Sullivan/Caddy.

I think we would have a good feel for how the top 11 picks pan out if we are looking to make the trade.

 

[FlyHigh18]

i would do the trade with dees

and then i would go 15,17 and 18 for 8 and 25

end up with 2,6,8, 11 and 25

I don't hate it. But only if the club has truly changed it's mind from Duursma to Curtin - then may as well pick him up at 6 instead of 3.

I don't think the risk is that high plus there is a lot of upside.

Every chance Hawthorn swoops on Curtin at pick 4 though.

So you end up with Watson, Duursma or Sanders

Pre-waffle has begun on AFL.com.au

Dees would take Duursma.

 

[LB2Snake]

My last player profile is up. Big thanks to everyone for watching this season and making content creation so enjoyable.

Hard to believe Caddy not rated even higher when you watch that clip.

 

[Its a Process]

Will O’Sullivan be on the board at pick 11? If so let’s do it

 

[Roosurgence]

Something like Watson/Sanders + Caddy/O’Sullivan would be nice compensation.

[Roostorm]

Great vision and insight...even thought these blokes looks like the oldest recruiting team in the AFL:

Bring on the trades…..can’t wait….new guys soon to be a part of our club…..the months of drama and speculation all comes to an end…..strapping in for an interesting evening…..ps every time l see this guy l can’t but not think what the heck is TAO doing there…..grab a drink and let’s see what Brady does….cheers everyone

 

[Samsquanch]

Late surprise. This year the AFL have decided to do tonight's draft in reverse order just to stir things up a little.

 

[Roosurgence]

Will O’Sullivan be on the board at pick 11? If so let’s do it

Might not be, but a good chance of happening.

 

[JGreezy]

Dees would take Duursma.

Probably. But then you get one of Watson or Sanders.

You're guaranteed one if Curtin, Duursma, Watson or Sanders at pick 6

 

[Chadwiko]

So you end up with Watson, Duursma or Sanders

If Melbourne are trading up for 3, it's for Duursma. So take him off the board.

I don't think Watson gets past the Bulldogs either.

So at that point you're trading up for Sanders?

I think I'm talking myself out of trading down. If we like Curtin, just take him at 3.

Trading down is my least preferred option, no doubt about it.
