Haha… There are no real stand outs from your vfl this season? Davidson looks OK but I’m not so sure we go for someone that raw

Yes please stay away from him.

Interesting that spicer has nominated 18mths. His form hasn’t been electrifying that’s for sure. But I can see why there may be some interest in him.

El Nour was the standout but being out for 2 months injured will hurt his chances.

Yeah Davidson is raw but huge untapped potential IMO. He has come from nowhere. I feel like he's more a rookie draft chance at the end of the year though. Archie May had a breakout game on the weekend, he'd be a chance on potential moreso than output. Joel Garner a smokey too if anyone is changing a mature age mid.

He's quick and gets to ground balls and can apply decent pressure (just close your eyes when he kicks it because it often looks like he does)

I think those highlighted are a decent chance of getting 18 months

Geordie Payne is potentially the first pick

 

[THE_GUN]

I'll attempt a R1 phantom draft, but I probably won't get it anywhere close to accurate:

Round 1:

1. North Melbourne: Geordie Payne
2. Richmond: Jacob Blight
3. West Coast: Noah Howes
4. St. Kilda: Max Hall
5. Hawthorn: Luke Beecken
6. Brisbane: Trey Ruscoe
7. Adelaide: Kobe Ryan
8. Western Bulldogs: Trent Bianco
9. Gold Coast: Felix Flockhart
10. Fremantle: Jed Hagan
11. Carlton: Liam McMahin
12. Collingwood: Jasper Scaife
13. Melbourne: Jack Hutchinson
14. Port Adelaide: Frank Szekeli
15. Essendon: Oskar Smartt

Will McLachlan ?

Some I agree with, some I don't.

Scaife falling to Collingwood is unlikely, think West Coast pounce. Think St Kilda take Benier given their commitment to Sandy talent. Gold Coast and Freo are chances to pass.

But I do agree that Ruscoe will head to Brisbane, just not sure if first round. Freo could consider him.

Will McLachlan is definitely first round talent, though.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

St Kilda take Benier

Ineligible and not nominated.
Lachie Voss if they need a Sandy player (but might satisfy that at end of year)?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

 

[swuzzlebubble]

That's interesting. Has this been said anywhere? Fox reported two days ago he was on radars.

Didn't play for Sandringham on the weekend.
Edit: see above tweet

Interesting. Must have chosen not to qualify him yet.

Yeah, they can satisfy at the end of the year.

If he's played Zebras, yes. They aim to elevate one VFL player per season. COmmitment to development pathways.

He's amongst the list that got nominated by multiple clubs for medicals too

personally I think the AFLPA should insist on 18 month minimums - many will have to move cities, so how reasonable is it to uproot your life and shift interstate for a 6 month contract?

Some interest there. Fox reported Melbourne.

Not saying I disagree but these selections come due to players being on inactive lists which needs to be reversed at season end. So therefore I disagree.
Players can nominate 18 months if it matters to them.

Zane Williams mentioned this a few years ago. Moved from SA, moved back in six months. He said he had many names to learn, a new system, no time to adjust really and impress in a matter of weeks. Agree with him there.

That's why some managers and players are wanting more security. Eg. Sam Sofrinidis has nominated 18 months because he's currently injured.

13. Melbourne: Jack Hutchinson
14. Port Adelaide: Frank Szekeli
15. Essendon: Oskar Smartt

I'm not suggesting Brisbane won't take Ruscoe, but gee I'd be spewing at the amount of talent they passed up to take him in this scenario. Would rather leave him until round 2. I also doubt Gold Coast will draft a player, let alone a ruck.

I reckon it goes:

1. North Melbourne: Geordie Payne
2. Richmond: Remy Maclean
3. West Coast: Jasper Scaife
4. St. Kilda: Will McLachlan
5. Hawthorn: Luke Beecken
6. Brisbane: Oskar Smartt
7. Adelaide: Noah Howes
8. Western Bulldogs: Max Hall
9. Gold Coast: Pass
10. Fremantle: Pass
11. Carlton: Liam McMahon
12. Collingwood: Jacob Blight
13. Melbourne: Saad El-Hawli
14. Port Adelaide: Pass
15. Essendon: Kobe Ryan

There are two rumours out about the Bulldogs, firstly that they're into Max Hall and secondly that they're into Bianco. I reckon the first is true and the second is smoke.

 

[tiger_tough]

doubt we take Scaife with out first pick.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Won't surprise me if no-one takes

You're right, I forgot Remy Maclean and changed it to him.

AFL Mid-Season Draft: Top picks and draft bolters

The mid-season draft has become a regular fixture in the footy calendar, and its next instalment arrives on Wednesday. ESPN draft expert Jasper Chellappah takes a look at who each club might take.

www.espn.com.au

This article is pushing McLachlan to Hawthorn or Brisbane, but it also has St Kilda going after Benier, who is now out of contention. I reckon St Kilda will now go for McLachlan.

I tend to agree but this is the afl msd rookie draft. A lot of guys would take the 6 month opportunity just to be on a list
