(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

This is crazy ...

I have newfound sympathy for the AFL admin.

OK, I've had a chance to read through the thread and work out who's been taken ... and who hasn't.

With pick # 16 (originally #13, pushed back 3 times), I would like to bid on Port's Lachie Jones.

Just as Chapman filled a hole in GWS's backline, Lachie Jones would be the ideal replacement for the departed Zac Williams.

Think it's big boy jackavoy to see if Port match?
 
OK, while we're waiting for the bid match, write-up on the previous GWS selection.

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) & backline 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. But the biggest reason in the short term, is that Chapman would help GWS's transition out of D50.

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
Endurance (2km) - 6.20 min

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.

As expected. (And I expect he'll go several picks earlier in the real draft!)

In that case, I'll fill the same need by selecting Jack Carroll at now pick #17 (originally #13 pushed back by 4 matched bids).

I seem to be on a bit of a WA draftee spree, but having seen them in action this year and not the Victorian lads does make a slight difference in trusting the assessment of them. Also, it wouldn't hurt IMHO to have a couple of them come to the club together to hopefully bond a bit more strongly.

Carroll is tagged as a balanced midfielder, but has played a lot off halfback. While he's a bit lightweight at the moment, I can see him as an option starting off HBF (so a Zac Williams replacement - though not necessarily round 1 2021), or playing wing if Lachie Whitfield moves into a half back general role. Plenty of upside in the future to move him into a midfield role once he builds muscle and gains experience. A central factor in selecting him is his kicking efficiency.

Jack Carroll
East Fremantle/Western Australia | Midfielder/Defender
20/12/2002 | 187cm | 76kg

Running Vertical Leap (R/L) – 84cm/88cm
Speed (20m) – 3.018 seconds
Agility – 8.67 seconds

Coming into his top-age season, the West Australian was pegged as a classy outside midfielder or half-back who moved well and used the ball efficiently by foot. But after nearly a full season of WAFL Colts football through midfield, the 187cm prospect has also shown his worth inside the engine room. Carroll measures up at a good height and while he may be a touch light, is not afraid to win his own ball before using his high-level agility and poise to weave through traffic and effectively dispose of the ball. A versatile talent with good upside, Carroll is destined to rise even further.

A broken wrist cut Jack Carroll’s promising top-age campaign short after seven WAFL Colts outings, but the 17-year-old still managed to showcase plenty of the traits which have him pegged as a potential first rounder. The East Fremantle product had previously come to prominence as a classy half-back/wingman, but attended many more centre bounces this season to transition into a more balanced midfield game. While still quite light, the smooth moving left-footer has terrific poise and provides great value going forward with his skill execution on the move. He did manage to register some data at the Draft Combine though, showcasing his exciting athletic attributes. He is also one of the youngest players available in this year’s draft, lending to the prospect of plenty more improvement to come.

STRENGTHS:
  • Disposal efficiency
  • Decision making
  • Clean hands
  • Athleticism
  • Versatility
  • Upside
  • Class
IMPROVEMENTS:
  • Strength
  • Post-injury durability
Carroll has a diverse range of weapons which help him stand out above his peers. A key trait which he has carried throughout his time in a range of positions has been an elite combination of decision making and disposal efficiency. Carroll is particularly effective by foot, as he can hit targets with ease on his favoured left side and open up the game on the end of carving moves out of congestion. He is the kind of player who you want to be delivering the ball inside 50, as he is often able to lower his eyes and hit-up leading targets. Carroll’s proficiency in this area also lends to his versatility, as he can start his career as a running half-back before transitioning into that classy midfielder.

Something which has aided Carroll’s move into midfield at Under 18s level has been his clean hands. He averaged 22.9 disposals in this year’s WAFL Colts competition and accumulated them in a variety of ways. Most significantly, he was able to swiftly collect ground balls before using his mix of speed, agility, and poise to come away with the pill and dispose of it effectively. At 188cm, Carroll is also the modern midfielder’s height and is one who can jump for big marks. The West Australian proved his vertical aptitude at the Draft Combine with running jumps of over 84cm off either foot, which combines ever so well with his clean hands to enable overhead marking.

Another aspect of that kind of play is Carroll’s courage. He may only be listed at 76kg, but is seldom afraid to run back with the flight of the ball or win it at the contest. Somewhat surprisingly, Carroll led the WAFL Colts this year for contested possessions (15 per game), proving his aptitude in that side of the game. As he progresses as a midfielder, Carroll will need to fill out and build the strength required to consistently compete in the engine room, as he can often go to ground or be blanketed by contact. But once afforded an inch, Carroll takes a mile as his athleticism and outstanding awareness allows him to evade would-be tacklers and be gone in a flash.

Something clubs will undoubtedly also look into is the fact that Carroll is a December-birth, meaning he could well see a greater rate of improvement in years to come compared to those born at the start of 2002. With a couple of preseasons at the top level, his strength will improve alongside that explosiveness which is so important to many athletic midfielders in the modern game. It could also allow him to develop in a range of roles; either at half-back as he is already comfortable with, on the outside, or even at half-forward. Carroll booted four goals from midfield this season and has the class by foot to do so more often. In his most dominant game, he collected 31 disposals and snared two majors against eventual Grand Finalists, Claremont, giving a glimpse into the kind of form he can produce on the end of a consistent run.

OK, Collingwood is next - that's briztoon. After that, it is Carlton with BlueMaster1 following the earlier trade between GWS & Carlton.
