Draft Expert eDPS’s Cream Of The Crop 2021

[eDPS]

Hello all and welcome back to another exciting year for potential AFL draftees, this thread will be dedicated to all things draft in 2021 and beyond. Be on the lookout for player notes, rankings and a rolling mock draft which have become a staple and as always I’m happy to answer any draft questions you may have.

Where do you see Cripps brother being drafted eDPS

With a combine invite he is a good chance but I have him as a rookie prospect personally

 

[Howzat1]

Jacob Van Rooyen. Dees would have to seriously look at drafting him as a future key forward. If he’s available, JT would have to insider strongly. Brown and McDonald have about 2-3 years left as a max. Van Rooyen could develop in that time. I compare him to Oscar Allen

Is Fitzroy Greenwool a chance to get picked up or has he been auto listed by the Gold Coast?

He was training with Footscray in 2020 then Covid-19 happened That’s the last I heard of his name

 

[eDPS]

My profile on Jesse Motlop, a hard one for me to rate personally but would be shocked if he didn’t get taken in the top 40. Just a clever and natural footballer.

One player I wouldn’t mind at the dogs

Same, adding some pace and forward nous would be great.

You'd have to trade into the second round to get him. Your leftover picks are matchable to Freo

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

How come no Amiss in the top 20 eDPS?

 

[eDPS]

How come no Amiss in the top 20 eDPS?

He is in that 15-30 range for me with plenty of other players outside my 20 unlucky. I’m a bit worried that Amiss will only be a 3rd tall at the next level and wanted to see some improvement in his work without the ball and multiple leads not just for him to take marks but to create space for other forwards which would be expected of him at the next level.

We are interested in Hugh Stagg hopefully he will last until our next pick

There’s been a little talk that we’ve been linked to Stagg. I can only assume it’s with our pick 41.

Stagg said it himself that Us and you guy’s were interested in him

Random.
Was a long way off it a few years ago
Played at North Cairns last year with Ronnie Burns as the coach!

 

[Crow till I die]

Hi eDPS After the interview on SEN with Josh Rachele, I am getting the feeling he may very well be the crows target. How well would he suit our list?

I’m no list expert so I can’t really comment on needs but I think that’s too early for Rachele personally.

Adelaide's good at taking players too early with top 10 picks tbf

 

[Mutineer]

Adelaide's good at taking players too early with top 10 picks tbf

Given we've rarely had them until recently?
Chayce Jones 2018 (#9), Fischer McAsey (#6)and Riley Thilthorpe (#2) are the only top 10 picks we've had since Patrick Dangerfield 2007 (#10) and Phil Davis 2008 (#10)

 

[Thunderstruck]

I think in that time, the only player that was a reach was McHenry and he wasn't top 10. Jones was close enough but I had Butters much higher on my board.

 

[GWS Goose]

I think most even at time expected Jones would go later.

 

[Polo342]

Hi EDPS. Do you see Mac Andrew going before Fremantles picks? Would GWS pick him that high at 2?

 

[Davo-27]

i didnt like Jones in the first round, he was a reach from my PoV

 

[eDPS]

Hi EDPS. Do you see Mac Andrew going before Fremantles picks? Would GWS pick him that high at 2?

I see it as a bit too high for him personally but it’s looking very unlikely he gets to your first pick

[Jack Richards]

I see it as a bit too high for him personally but it’s looking very unlikely he gets to your first pick

Hey eDPS where is your Nov rankings? What is Leek Alleer's range? is early 20s too high?

 

[eDPS]

Hey eDPS where is your Nov rankings? What is Leek Alleer's range? is early 20s too high?

November rankings will be out either late next week or early the week after, not expecting any new names in the top 20 just some minor movement in the 8-18 range most likely.

Aleer could be anywhere between 15-40, I’d have him in the 25-40 range personally
