You really think Dodoro didnt have a draft strategy?

Of course he did. Download Twomey's draft guide.

100% Agree professional organisations do it.

My comment was, “Love this visibility.” - we see what the plan is and can get behind it (or not).

Now we can move our BF debate
from : do we trade back in
to : is a top 8 on our list the right cut off point…

It is transparent

Also have to be careful being too transparent if your in fact being honest around the draft and players

Its why many clubs say the generalised comments

Please.... even you dont believe that

Its amazing when someone leaves how much distaste they get compared to when theyre working for your club

People are quick to jump

Pretty sure there was a time the draft guide was spotted on his desk on draft night or something similar.

Not sure ‘son of someone that completed basic training at the royal military college Duntroon’ gets a run in this article if his last name is Smith.

It’s a talking point purely based on the fact that he’s Arab, is that not racist?

I thought it was explaining how he came to be an NGA prospect.

‘Kako, who is of Iraqi heritage….’

If and when Bontempelli wins a Brownlow the media could talk about his how his dad is literally made of Mortadella, it would be somehow less nefarious.

I mean if it was... it would almost be silly not to use every resource you can

Also twomey is excellent it seems at eeking out info from all clubs and a great guide to knowing whos picking who aswell

You really think Dodoro didnt have a draft strategy?

You really think he did have a comprehensive strategy ? We never had any draft software to collate anything until 5 years ago.

Id say any list manager in the AFL would have a comprehensive strategy let alone Adrian

What would you be talking about specifically with collating?

The one seen on his desk on draft night was from draft central (now called rookie me central).

I believe Lore is considered an acceptable reference resource by universities these days.

Best available

Had him in our top 5

Solid family

School captain

Supported Essendon as a kid

Think he can go midfield

Spine first*

*By spine first I mean talls who have no body and are basically just a spine

I can confirm he signed up for the draft guide a few years ago was certainly an eyebrow raiser. Foxfooty also used it on their broadcast.

As in dont believe hes drafting off internet mock draft rankings

Adrian is way to egotistical and stubborn for that

So what you're saying is... Alex Morgan was your doing?

 

[Andronicus]

Who did we miss by taking Morgan?

Rhys Mathieson and Jordan Dawson

Fortunately that draft didn't have a ripping 2nd or 3rd round. Redman was 1 pick later. Otherwise the best of the rest in that region is probably Blake Hardwick, Marcus Adams, Bailey Williams.

There was a few good players late that draft year though. Papley, Dan Houston, Tipungwuti, Alex Keath all came in the rookie draft. Jordan Dawson in the 4th round.

I joined after that draft

How has dododo’s drafting been since then?

Caddy and Roberts good last year although still very early

 

[Keystone agony]

Harry Armstrong appears the likely slider of the top group potentially

Richmond may prefer Shanahan and Whitlock as KPFs at 11 acc to Twomey

Then the next 5 picks are out of state and then the dogs who would not go KPF (If hes one that doesnt want to leave home)

Im still very unsure on him (would need to watch more), but if he starts getting out to mid teens then id probably be ok with it from a list strategy pov for KPFs. His agility testing super impressive

Because he had little to do with that draft. RFK gets the nod for that.
