List Mgmt. National & Rookie Draft 2021

[Lore]

Hey guys, thought you might like to have this resource on your board (scuse the intrusion!) – mods might like to sticky it so it's visible at the top of the thread

 

[bird_man]

Lions have Will Ashcroft next year, who's likely to go towards top of the draft. The accumulation of points will go a long way to help with their bid.

They already have enough points for Ashcroft and I'm sure they'd prefer to take a first this year rather than lose one for a pick to get eaten up by a father son selection.

All the mail seems to be that they want to take both picks this year.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Fair enough.

Looking at the phantom drafts there's no mid likely at that pick that I'm totally confident in.

Sonsie would probably be my pick but I think we'll be able to trade down and get him which is what I'd be looking at doing.

There'll be enough choice at our pick and l agree Gibcus wouldn't be the worst result.
We'll see what happens on the night as live trading is becoming a big thing as clubs pay through the nose for the exact player they want.
I have a nagging feeling that Chesser might be our boy so we'll trade down. Gags has telegraphed his desire to do business this year.

Yes but you don't part wuth a first round pick to accumulate points for the next year.
They'd be better off doing nothing and just take Ashcroft with the %20 discount.

If we were to approach them it would have to look like taking their #14, future 1st & 4th, for our #9, f2nd & f3rd or something like that. Otherwise there's no appeal for them.

 

[St Kilda Death]

Gibcus is rated 100% as the best KPD in the draft.
Quite often rated in the top 5 overall, I don’t think I’ve seen any ratings with him outside the 10.

Doubt he is there at our pick anyway but ppl don’t want him

 

[Senor Ding Dong]

My head says we would be mad to knock back Gibcus if he slides to our pick.....but my heart says Sinn. I guess I'll be happy either way

Talk was abuzz of Sinn being linked to the Saints after the Victorian draft day, where it was revealed he had added six kilograms to his frame. After shooting up further to 191cm, Saints fans will have their hearts in their mouths as to whether Owens will attract a top-20 bid. Could Essendon pounce as early as 11 (pending bids)? However, the most likely outcome is that a bid falls in the second round. Fellow NGA product Windhager, on the other hand, is expected to have his name called in the second-third round range

 

[Mangus]

I get that Gibcus doesn't float everyones boat Key Defenders don't have the same immediate upside or appeal of a young mid or forward we all love to see the attacking flair and possibilities of our draftees and our midfield definately needs a next generation talent.

But more and more the intercepting defender is becoming a key part of the best teams. Lever and May, Allir Allir, McGovern, Grimes and Balta, Tom Stewart, Darcy Moore

. Only the Dogs of the top teams are scraping by with Journey man Key defenders and I suspect that with Ugle Hagen and Darcy on the way Naughton could end up going back and being the best of the lot of them.

If he is still on the board at 11 you would be mad to let him slide further. Only possible reason would be if Ward or Hobbs was still available. Reality is they are likely all gone by our pick. We are in that slightly awkward position of being at the tail end of the top tier and faced with potentially having to decide if we bid on the player that has slid out of the top ten or someone who might fit better to our needs

 

[bird_man]

There seems to be some sort of hope that Ward may slide now that the Hawks have been linked Johnson.

We'd still need a lot of things to go out way for him to make it to our pick though.

Keen to see Twomey's mock draft when it hits

I don't like that article suggesting the Bombers could bid with Dodoro as he is

Fcuk that would be the worst result. I hate the jabbers

when is Twomey's mock draft? We're only a couple days away from the draft

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

The only team I would hate more if they took him would be Carlton. dooming him to a life of misery and a failure of a career

Tonight

 

[bird_man]

It wouldn't be a bid at 13, they'd just he drafting him.

Can't see that happening in front of NWM, Goater, Sonsie and the likes.

Melbourne and the Giants are the only two picks that have me worried.

Happy to hear the Giants are contemplating Howes at 15.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Tonight

excellent, some reading for me when I get home from work. This should essentially be one of the most accurate ones right? Straight from the horses mouth type news especially only 2 days out

Giants are firming to take a player that is 190cm + at pick 13

Might I suggest Mitch Knevitt? Same Mitch but a few cm taller.

 

[Ailurus]

He is live now and just said it's coming out tonight. He also reiterated that we are looking at Sinn/NWM but would be tempted by Gibcus as a slider

 

[bird_man]

That leaves plenty of options, including Owens and Howes

this has to be one of the most exciting drafts for us. So many different types that are similarly rated. Don't think we can really be unhappy with anyone in the top 20. Plus the drama of our NGAs. Bit of a gamble grabbing so many late picks hoping we land them but it makes for good TV.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Thoughts on Draper? Fallen down the rankings a bit as the season went on, also got injured. Too low for our pick?

 

[botts]

I’ve heard Caruso say multiple time of a couple of pods they don’t want to take a player that they have similar types to because they know they will just loose them when they don’t get a game. They are stacked with mids. Surely they are gonna try to go key position

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Ben Hobbs on the draft live coverage comes across as that typical "future captain material". I don't know if he's too similar to what we have but he said he'd love to be impacting a midfield as soon as possible.

edit:

"I just love to win" "hate just participating" definitely wouldn't mind him here, bring a bit of competitiveness into the club

I like him, one of a number to keep an eye on if they slide into the mid 20s that we can trade

Howes is 190cm

Is probably too similar to what we have but no doubt he will be a good player. It's academic though, I can't see Tigers passing on him
