Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Mutineer]

My boy Phoenix, happy for the lad.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Surprised that Dumesney still on the board

 

[Golumless]

You reckon addressing it occurs through numerical options, or quality?

Playing six inside midfielders won't improve us- or do they not all play?

It's addressed by both. You need numbers as much as you need quality, as development is not an exact science and even if it was, shit happens with injuries.

Naturally, there is going to be a fair bit of attrition seeing we've taken a fair few mid types in recent drafts, seeing Jones, McHenry, Schoenberg, O'Connor, Gollant (maybe...) + Pedlar, Berry and Hately would all rightly see themselves on the inside in the mid to long term (and that's not factoring others who could transition). Still there is enough quality in that bunch to find a 4-5 who compliment each other and are at a high quality. There isn't a whole lot of double ups in terms of skillsets which is also nice.

 

[GrommoT]

Good, didn't want Durdin. Too small

Nek minit

 

[TexForPM]

How many picks will they use in RD? They still have Schofield to pick up

No idea. I would sink the boots in if I was port

 

[Southerntakeover]

Not a flanker, a versatile midfielder that can be rotated through multiple positions.

That's how the game is played these days

The game really isnt played in a way that makes outside midfielders irrelevant...

 

[GreyCrow]

If Rowe doesnt cost us Borlase then I am happy - but if we put ourselves in a corner I would be disappointed

I think he is a rookie list player that may provide some value but its a reach for me at 37

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...

 

[GROTTO]

what is the bet Port bid on Borlase...

Could we have not taken Borlase and placed Rowe on the rookie list?

 

[baby back Bibs]

I love how people think they know better than the clubs who will or won’t make it through to the rookie draft.

Big reach IMO.

I just said this. Strange move. Why not take Borlase and rookie list Rowe?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Pedlar is a pure mid that can push forward

Mid at AFL level more than forward I’d say

 

[ams4crows]

The Rowe pick has Roo written all over it

 

[Kenny Dee]

Rowey cost us 37 and the Hawks third round pick in 2021, let that sink in!!!

Getting in before Carlton maybe? I dont hate it, but no so sure it was worth it...

 

[Gets!]

It’s pretty simple, our recruiting team has their order and they stick to it.

 

[Stan16]

Wait will Port pick Borlase ?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Borlaise not much chop or he’d be taken

 

[Vader]

Am I wrong to assume that, if a club selects Newchurch/Borlase, we can’t match but we can then select another player with pick 80 for our senior list? I think you’re allowed 36-38 senior players

Our list is now completely full (noting that we've committed to taking Hately in the PSD tomorrow). We have no ability to match bids on Borlase/Newchurch, or select another player in either the ND or RD.

Including Hately we have 36 players on our senior list, plus 6 on the Cat A rookie list - a total of 42 players. That's the maximum we're allowed to have.

** We're also allowed to have 2x Cat B rookies, which is where Borlase & Newchurch will hopefully fit in.

Just think that we got him for Atkins

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Don’t think so , doubt anyone will be you never know

 

[Murray2503]

Is it over yet? This thing will go on all night.

If we do that, we can't pick up Hately.

 

[All_In]

Should have drafted Carrol instead of Rowe, but I hope he does well. One thing is for sure, he'll give his all.

Where does Borlase fit though?

Butts, McAsey and Doedee are our long term Big defenders.
