AFL Draft Power Rankings: New No. 1 emerges as we close in on draft

ESPN.com.au's expert Chris Doerre has revealed his AFL Draft Power Rankings for the month of October and we have a new player at the top.

www.espn.com.au

Knightmares most recent power rankings for the draft. Interesting to note Sinn has dropped out of the top 20. MJ sits 8th. Andrew’s weaknesses read like he’s going to be a very long investment for whoever selects him

If he wants to put MJ and Erasmus in the top 8 I’m more than happy with Hobbs falling to us. Feels a lot like Tom Powell last year a ball winner which we can build outside class/pace around.

 

[Obeanie1]

Was Sheed in the next trolley after you to have his shoulder done?

Hope not ......he looked 50 odd

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Depends on Ports cap position and any players they are chasing.

Port are playing this well.

SPP WA girlfriend due in April also a factor. And his off field issues.

Yep sounds like port are trying to offload some non best 22 players on decent money so a salary dump plus also playing the 'he's contracted card you have to pony up a good pick ' .

They want their cake and eat it too .

Apparently ladhams has his highest paid year of his contract next year .

Salary dump for sure

Shame Eagles have no cash to attract talent.

ECE your thought as to his hardness at the ball and his durability.
Have been told that he sometimes turns the ball over with dodgy kicking, is this a fair comment or an exaggeration?

His burst of speed and when he nails a kick it looks absolutely amazing, but I've seen him miss a lot of kicks that get turned over and come back the other way. For mine, his kicking isn't good enough. First game a saw him, he broke out of the middle on a number of occasions and was looking so good but then turned it over. If and a big if, he could nail those kicks he'd be top 3 in this draft. So that shows how much his kicking is letting him down, drops his rating.
I can't attribute hardness with him, I've seen him break through a pack with speed but not find the hard contested footy. He's Whitfield without the elite kicking.

I also think he could be the type of guy who is constantly in the St John of god injury report.

Smart business to get SPS for a 3rd rounder hopefully and low wage .

Not so smart taking on SPPs contract and paying overs in picks .

I think Port are tight on cap and are looking to add a best 22 player at the expense of highly payed fringe players .

Its fine if they do that but can't expect the other club to pay good picks

If it was like the witherden deal and port pay a portion and we give them a future 3rd so they can make room then sure .

We ended up with 2 premierships ( 92, 94 ) with the magnificent 7 from the WA winning National colts .
If we add SPP , SPS late draft Bailey Rogers and Greg Clark who were all team mates of Josh Rotham

, this can be the Ridiculous 6 reunited . Snagging another 2 premierships .

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

I don’t know that we’d want to trade out of next year’s second round, I’ve read somewhere that the club rates that draft class.

Plus that would probably leave us with more picks than we’d need. 10, 18, 29, 50, 52, 54 - even sending one of those in the 50s to Carlton for SPS, we’re probably passing on the other two.

If I could use our picks this year to take next year draftees in this draft I would!

 

[Ishmael_]

If we get SPS for 52 that's 3 handy trades with average picks in Witherden, Langdon and SPS.

Jury is still out on arguably all of them, but it's creative and it seems as if the club is finding players with upside at clubs where forces are pushing them out and therefore will take unders.

Good list management in a pinch.

 

[THE A5]

Personally rather spp than sps

I'd prefer the latter, SPP has a lot of off-field baggage. If we do get him, I'd rather it would be for a crap pick but Port would be reluctant you'd think.

Thanks EEC, your assessment of him lines up with what I have heard.
One of my mates calls him " boomerang " because he turns the ball over too much.

Would be disappointed if we took him over a genuine midfielder at # 10.

Thats the risk but as I see it I see Spp is more likely than SPS to make it to be honest.

 

[WCE_Talk]

Still think we should go to Brisbane and offer them pick 10 and a future 2nd for 14 and 18

They need points for next year as they have a couple academy boys

That gives us 2 1st round picks + 29 and 36, whilst also keeping our first for next year

Maybe we could also package up and offer Vardy as a sweetener?

That’s a NAB Cup at best.

Or 2 AFLX flags.

I also agree with that assessment.

If we did that, we would be pretty much guaranteed to miss MJ wouldn't we?
Plus lose extra currency for next year, especially if we wanted to trade up for a player like Elijah Hewett.

A stale bag of chips offers more

Can't help but thinking that SPF and SJW have the biggest upside.

STI is moving rapidly through the ranks though.

STI is moving rapidly through the ranks though.

AUKUS could be the explosive midfielder we've all been waiting for.

Looking forward to hearing what SOS had to say about their recruitment.

I think SPP has shown and hit his ceiling - so he makes it as what he is now.

Agree SPS could be a bust, but he has a much higher ceiling. Can he improve in a new environment though. He has a lot of the tools.
