Draft Watcher eDPS Draft Watch 2019

[Jack Richards]

Unfortunately he has an ACL and the chance of re injury is rather high. Secondly, do you think he gained enough possessions to be worthy of a top 5 selection?

Is it though? Can't clubs rehab and strengthen it?

Is it though? Can't clubs rehab and strengthen it?

Approximately 30-35% chance of athletes re-rupturing in the first 24 months after surgery, then only a slight increase in risk after that

Watching over old footage to help get a refresher on players I haven’t seen for awhile and to help with trying to finalise my rankings and its great to get a refresher on some players it sure hasn’t made doing rankings any easier, i see players slipping into the 30s who I’d have no troubles taking in the early 20s its just that even between 15-35 for me with some others not far behind either.

At the very least i think ive finally settled on my top 10

None of the names have changed in my top 10 just the order

1. Noah Anderson
2. Matthew Rowell
3. Brodie Kemp
4. Deven Robertson
5. Lachlan Ash
6. Tom Green
7. Caleb Serong
8. Dylan Stephens
9. Hayden Young
10. Sam Flanders

My 6 is locked in with the 7-10 range more personal preference with no real reason to have above the other haha which is the case for the later rankings aswell at the moment, still plenty of vision to go over aswell and identifying future roles for players and how their potential growth goes up against players who maybe don’t have the growth but have the runs on the board. Combine results also really help with identifying what positions they could possibly play at the next level.

These are the 2 that i think might be a little away from where they could go , Kemp with a Knee is always going to be a risk and i think Green will get a bid earlier. but over all similar top 10

My final rankings will come out of the week of the draft but I’ll have my November rankings out on the 14th and it will be my top 45.

Some pretty big changes with 2 bolters into my top 20, I’ve come to the conclusion that the draft is stupidly even and I expect a few people complaining about a few spots but honestly I couldn’t begrudge anyone for having completely different ratings as there is a range of types with a range of players with either huge upside or strong form that make it very difficult.

Good luck to anybody trying to get a Phantom Draft that is close to the final thing and expect some big sliders and bolters.

Whens your final phantom out? or are you sticking to rankings?

I will do a first round mock on the first day and a mock for the 2nd round onwards on the next day

Speaking for myself, my personal view of the draft is strongly influenced my perceived needs of my club.

And my personal biases of valuing certain physical and athletic traits for different positions, combined with skill sets.

And my personal biases of valuing certain physical and athletic traits for different positions, combined with skill sets.

I’ve tried hard not to have the same thoughts, the worst part watching over footage today is evaluating future roles for players and how their size and testing effect that.

Gould is a very hard one, I can see the Hurn comparisons and I’m sure fitness was one of Hurns issues aswell in his 18s year as he was a top 5 rated player at the start of that year and ended up sliding to pick 13.

The type of player Gould is doesn’t fit every club as he won’t have the athleticism to go with talls and smalls at AFL level but he has the smarts and ball use to still have an impactful role but again some clubs can’t afford having those types of deficiencies and what players as quick and mobile as possible and if not that can play a stopping role.

On the flip side Day has the athletic traits and potential that Gould doesn’t have but Day does lack the size and aggression that is also importantly for certain cases but in Days case those can be improved on where as Gould will most likely only improve his endurance which has been the case for Hurn. Both players have an element of risk for different reasons but also have such attractive traits that make them both hard players to pass on.

that’s the thing with the draft, so many players with upside and potential and others with the results but lack athletic traits and versatility so I expect clubs to pick the main areas they want players to be good in and will back in their development coaches to make them the perfect players for their club.

With your description of the draft as "stupidly even", how will that impact clubs decisions? Can we expect any of the following;

• a greater focus on needs being key factors
• a greater focus for WA and SA clubs preferring local players
• any preferences from the development clubs
• a reduced likelihood of clubs to bid on NGA or F/S options
• a greater focus on players who will impact early
• a reduction in "project" players

Any others?

Some recruiters have their personal favourites in the draft like anyone here does and i think that will sway clubs aswell.

I’ll be counting down my top 45 from 7pm tonight

Pickett ain't going at 29 mate. Rumours he's around 13 now.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Sharp at 32?....This must be a super-draft if there's 31 better players than him available.
