I’ll have a top 30 19 year olds to watch in the NAB League for 2021 coming out in the next few days

Will your boy be number one?

I’m keen to see if any get picked up during the SSP.

Perhaps some of the academy or father son tied players could make it, would be good to see them play some proper footy aswell though and then get taken.

Sydney is the only Northern club with an available spot.

We’ve already announced our U19 squad for next year (basically every U18 kid who didn’t get drafted this year)(We rookie listed Carter Michael btw). That means none of them are able to be signed by another club during the SSP, nor are they able to enter the mid season draft.

I would expect St Kilda to take at least one undrafted kid. I hate to say it, but potentially Max Heath.

I hope yourself or ADC keeps us updated about which, if any, kids join clubs as train on players during the SSP.

Nine clubs, 14 spots: Who will get an AFL lifeline for 2021?

Mitch Cleary looks at some of the contenders to fill the remaining list spots for next season

I think they can bring a couple up if injuries occur

Ed do you know what was behind Eddie Ford's giant slide?
Something not right withhim perhaps?

I was gobsmacked the saints passed.

 

[Don_The_Sash]

Seems clubs put a lot of value on last years games for this years draftees, just looking at my rankings at the start of this year and where the players went only 4 didn’t get taken in the top 30 and a few circumstances like Baldwins ACL certainly play a part aswell

Didn’t have Archie Perkins in top 20 leading into the year?

No same with Henry but once I started watching through vision once covid hit I warmed to the both of them a bit more. Still had them in the teens though.

Probably just because he was so inconsistent last year. His best was exceptional and his poor was pretty bad.

 

[SaintByTrade]

Where do you think Davies would of gone/been bid at if he was in the draft?

Ok, so a bit of a highlights champion then.
We all get sucked in all the time here..
Cheers

Is there a list available of best players to have missed this years drafts and are available as SPP/mid season selections?

I wouldn’t say that, he’s a high impact player and something usually happens when he gets the ball. He doesn’t get a lot of pointless cheap possessions. But some games he’s hardly sniff it, Larry due to being in a poor team and partly due to work rate. He could’ve ironed that out in his top age year though and become a top 20 pick.

Was Connor Stone’s performances any different?

It looked like a lot of Vic players were selected on athletic ability, what they “could be”, and one or two preseason performances.

Reportedly Ford played well in the Vic Metro trials last year, and for a half forward, has good contested to uncontested possession numbers last year.

I don’t think he was any less consistent than most of the other half forward prospects. As was mentioned, he was in a crap side also.

His stats are comparable to most of the best half forwards, so by extension they must have been just as inconsistent.

My Favourites are, Kolar, Cleary, Elliot, Carrigan. Hoping Darcy Chirgwin, wherever he plays, gets a good run at it too.

What about your combined QLD/NSW/ACT/SA/WA top 30?

The only kid I’d include from the Lions academy is winger Tahj Abberley.

 

[Mego Red]

No Dumesny?

Actually, has SA gone to 19s as well?

Will Callow prove anything in the nab league. If I was him I’d be signing with someone like werribee in the vfl.

On the Lions, did they do right in preferring Michael over Crozier?
