Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Vader]

So it’s 36 maximum, not 36-38?

The rules are...
Senior List Size: 36-38
Total List Size (senior + Cat A rookie): 37-42
Cat B Rookie List Size: 0-2

Effectively, the maximum list sizes (total = 42) can be achieved in 3 ways: 36/6, 37/5, or 38/4. We currently have 35/6, and we're committed to taking Hately in the PSD tomorrow, which will make it 36/6.

Adelaide's maximum senior list size is 36 because we already have 6 players on the Cat A rookie list (Butts, Keays, Strachan, Mackay, Gibbs, Davis).

Guessing Port will take Borlase at 49.

 

[Mutineer]

Good pick there, Stevens is all class, speed and great kick.

 

[DJ75]

I'm guessing we aren't fussed....

 

[Mutineer]

Bugger big Henry...

 

[Danger in Texas]

Oh thank god, they didn’t pick our NGA guys

 

[Anzacpaul]

Borlase survives another pick

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Maybe the crows port pick trade included a you don't bid on Jones and we won't pick borliase.

 

[Mutineer]

Developing KPF to Port....projecting going on there.

 

[Crow Envy]

Picking Rowie should see Rowie go a bit softer on the Crows.....

 

[Truck25]

Picking Rowie should see Rowie go a bit softer on the Crows.....

[briztoon]

Mutineer thoughts on our last two lads?

 

[Vader]

Hahaha bid on academy players then pass. Lol

Fair enough, if those were the last 2 players on their merit list.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What picks have Port got left?

62 & 66... but not sure how many spots they have left.

 

[Scorpus]

Ey! Luke Edwards get drafted to West Coast

 

[ltdamn]

WCE select Edwards

 

[Golumless]

You absolutely do not need to spend repeat high resource investments for 'numbers' when you have a finite number of players that you can field and no talent in other fields...

Other field, such as?

The only other area we were looking dicey in the long term was key forward and we addressed that at pick 1. Outside midfield has Sholl, Hamill and Milera to build around, and whilst we'll be in need to adding to that group in 2021, we could hold off this year. Defence has McAsey, Doedee and McPherson as that basis. Small forwards could be dicey long term, if Stengle doesn't make it but that's not exactly something you prioritise now (and even then, Rowe and hopefully Newchurch makes it through).

Our inside group was looking pretty poor coming into 2020, seeing we had some speculative picks, but outside of Schoenberg, no one had genuinely indicated they could make the step up. We've hopefully addressed that problem.

Don't get my optimism mistaken for myself thinking we'll bounce up the ladder next year, we won't, just we're starting to cobble together a young and talented list. Inside midfield however was the problem position coming into this off-season and we made the right move investing heavily into that sector.

 

[LoBu]

Good luck Luke Edwards

 

[Crow Envy]

There goes Edwards....

 

[ams4crows]

Wonder if he wanted to go to a Melbourne club? Happy for Edwards

 

[ltdamn]

Why didn't we take Borlase, does anyone have any mail on why we didn't rate him? Why would we take a mature age small forward over a KPD, especially when we are so thin in that area?
