Zero concern is too far a stretchI have zero idea, I just know its far too early to say 17 teams have passed on him.
AFL Draft Power Rankings - October 2022
The Rookie Me Central Power Rankings extends out to a list of 40 prospects in our October edition. Find out who made the cut.central.rookieme.com
Here is a draft websites thoughts on the top 40 of 2022 in early October of 2022. Max wasnt top 40. Isaac Keeler was #25 and went mid 40's. They don't know shit.
Also - Welsh's value is distorted since he is committed to Adelaide as a F/S. A team nominates him - they might not like him - they may just want us to use extra resources.
This is a kid that we and AFL teams have had their eye on for years. We should know absolutely everything about him by now. The fact he has put on a few kgs between the SANFL season finishing and the draft is of zero concern.
Also there are many players tied to clubs through academy and father / son who have managed to be invited to national combine this year despite being club tied
Also the clubs are very smart these days , the way Welsh presented yesterday is likely the reason many didn’t nom him for national combine a couple of months ago
Friends have been asking me how is Welsh not rated top 30 on this draft after kicking 5 blah blah , also ‘why isn’t he national combine’ when that list came out
I’ve been saying it beats me but now I think I know a bit more why
