(This is where Lore's spreadsheet says no more picks - does any club think they need - or want - any more picks?)


NOTE: The draft order is the full draft order from Lore's spreadsheet, which doesn't account for the reduction in draft picks once available list spots are considered, which has now been complicated by the AFL decision to allow clubs with FS & Academy picks to hold extra picks. I think it is safer to include all picks and leave individual club choosers to determine when their picks run out.

Selection summary:

Adelaide: Hollands (2), Thilthorpe (7), Trew (26), Davis (38), Pedlar (49)
Brisbane: Bowey (29), Michael (48), Walsh (51)
Carlton: Macrae (19), Collins (43)
Collingwood: Perkins (18), Reid (20), Rosman (58)
Essendon: DGB (8), McInnes (11 - unmatched), Baldwin (28), Berry (40) + Hawthorn's 2021 first round
Fremantle: Ford (15), B Walker (31 - match), Western (39 - match), Matthew Parker (53) + St Kilda's 2021 fourth round
Geelong: Lazzaro (46)
Gold Coast: Cox (12) + Davies, Jeffrey, Lake (prelisted) + North Melbourne's second round in 2021
GWS: Chapman (13), Carroll (17), Poulter (24), Winder (33), Ginnivan (36) + Carlton's 2021 first round
Hawthorn: Henry (6), Coleman (10 - unmatched), Papley (41), Downie (42), Gorringe (44)
Melbourne: Laurie (22), O'Driscoll (23), Dumesny (32), Bolton (45)
North Melbourne: McDonald (3), Bruhn (14), Cook (27), Maher (30), Callow (24), Durdin (37)
Port: Jones (16 - match) Ollie Lord (50)
Richmond: Rioli (9 - match) Highmore (57)
St Kilda: Powell (25) Clayton Gay (54) + Fremantle's 2021 3rd sound
Sydney: Phillips (4), Campbell (5 - match), Gulden (21 - match) + 392.5 carryover pts in first round 2021
West Coast: Jarrod Pickett (55)
Western Bulldogs: JUH (1 - match), + 81 carryover pts in first round 2021

Confirm you've still got 2 more picks to go after that no match on McInnes? I'm at work so not following 100% so losing the order a bit with all of the bids & so forth.

Nope i'm done mate. Reef and DGB are now Dons and pick 9 was traded to the Hawks. We're up to pick 12 - wasn't this traded earlier between Adelaide and GC?

Someone mentioned earlier, it would be best to have the updated pick order and players selected pinned to the top of the page to make it a little easier.

OK, then Smythe I think you're back up for your Gold Coast pick (from trading with Adelaide).

With pick 9 hawthorn bids on Maurice Rioli JR! Over to you Marauders5
Haha hawthorn are desperate to get another small fwd with our ageing small fwd stocks and getting another Rioli would be amazing.
I match the bid

Richmond select Maurice Rioli Jr
Yes finally a small forward.


Wow pick #9 on Maurice Rioli Jnr !!

He wont get a bid inside #40 and Richmond 100% wont be matching a bid that would take away our first 2 picks. Only after pick #36 will we match a bid

There would also be atleast 3 better small fowards in this years draft .



Feel sorry for the OP trying to get all these swps and bids getting it sorted

The pick was traded to Gold Coast
 
With pick #13 (originally #10, pushed back by 3 earlier bids) - GWS select Heath Chapman.

I think it's North Melbourne unless they traded their pick - Junior11 ?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Despite Jezza being the biggest name that GWS lost in the recent trade/FA period, it's the defence that suffered the biggest overall loss with KPD (Corr), rebounding defender (Williams) & General (Shaw) departing. While there is some backup existing in the squad, it's definitely the biggest area of need in this draft. Given that Sam Taylor will move up from third tall to second tall, Haynes will remain as intercepting defender, and Leon likes a 4 tall defence setup it's not a need to get a genuine KPD (such as Zach Reid) in this draft. What I like about Heath Chapman, is that he possesses some of the skills of all of those departed players: he can defend his man OK enough (and as third tall he won't be on a monster), has plenty of endurance for repeat runs out of defence (6:20 min 2km), has some speed (3.03 sec 20m), and pinpoint kicking. The two aspects I'm prioritising this draft are precision kicking and speed. In a few years, he may take over from Haynes as the interceptor in the GWS backline.

Heath Chapman
West Perth/Western Australia | Key Position Defender
31/01/2002 | 192cm | 81kg

Speed (20m)
– 3.03 seconds
Agility – 8.69 seconds
Endurance (Yo-yo) – 21.6

Chapman is a key position defender with many points of difference. Having cut his teeth in the role during his bottom-age year, the 192cm prospect has been able to roll off as a third tall down back for West Perth in 2020, using his shrewd reading of the play and athleticism to provide a dominant intercept marking prowess. His ability to open up the play in transition with long, rebounding kicks is Chapman’s other key strength, making him a versatile defensive outlet who finds plenty of the ball. Given his size and athletic attributes, that third tall prototype seems his most likely avenue to the elite level, though he is just as capable competing as a more traditional key position player.


STRENGTHS:

  • Intercept marking
  • Reading the play
  • Kick penetration and efficiency
  • Attack/defence balance
  • Repeat running
  • Composure
IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Size as KPD
There are many strings to the bow of Chapman, a defender who can also hurt the opposition going the other way. Chapman’s first point of call often comes aerially, as he floats across with terrific courage and timing to clunk intercept marks on the defensive arc. From there, he instinctively plays on and turns defence into attack, punching penetrative and accurate kicks forward to open up the ground for his side. This style of play has come largely thanks to a slight change in role throughout 2020, as Chapman has been let off the chain to roam as a third tall, rather than manning the best opposition key forward.

Chapman’s elite running capacity is highlighted by eye-catching testing results; notching a score of 21.6 on his preseason yo-yo test, while also taking out the West Australian combine’s 2km time trial with a time of 6:20. More significantly, his endurance is showcased on-field with important repeat running. When he opts to hit a short-range target rather than going long, Chapman is often sighted running hard to chain his next possession, becoming the receiver and advancing to an even more dangerous position to utilise his proficient kicking.

His composure with ball in hand is also noticeable, with sound decision making allowing Chapman to make the most of each disposal. That factor, and the aforementioned traits combine to give the West Australian a brilliant balance between his defensive and offensive output. At 193cm, he plays somewhat like a small with such athleticism and disposal efficiency, but still has the height and smarts to impact aerially.

He is the type who does a lot of things well for a player of his size, though his current figure may raise some queries as he transitions to the next level. Chapman is perhaps a few centimetres and kilos off true key position stature, making his key defender tag a touch less viable in the AFL. It is hardly a major issue, as Chapman looks like easily developing into a defensive utility who can play loose, lock down opposition forwards, or run off his man to intercept.
