The best recruiters pick the kid who will be the best player.I'd say it's a combination of the 2 with more weight being given to those who have had sustained performances across the period from U16s through to their draft year, over a kid who explodes from nowhere in 1 year.
I'm not talking about plenty of kids. I'm talking about Finn O'Sullivan. The kid's special.They are drafted based on what they are and what they can become IMO.
Of course it does, plenty of kids go backwards and even more explode later, its naive to think they dont.
Sonsie didn't play any football in his botttom-aged year due to Covid. FOS was All-Australian. There's a reason your apples aren't orange.Sonsie was a potential pick one going into his draft year.
In a global pandemic.Great example of how fast things can change.
As tigs says, Moir was overhyped based on some eye-catching skills. He then stunk it up for a year, which is why he slipped.This is true. Ashton Moir was touted as a contender for last year's no.1 pick in his bottom age year but ended up at pick 29.
But it's hard to compare FOS to Moir as both players play 2 different positions.
Im sure Sydney fans thought the same about Errol.Not sure how i'd feel about drafting a player named sid
Dunno. We have 1 & 21, probably 15 from Brissy, say 23 from WC and maybe 22 for Graham if Cleary is to be believed. We apparently have enough points for pick 6, obviously to gain a first you pay a premium but we should still have leftover.We’re going to have to Trade Rioli aren’t we?
Not sure.
Caddy was all athleticism. Bit short if I remember properly. He's shown he can play AFL. Bit of a risk, so like a few this year.
Cadman was always likely. Not sure anyone this year is yet in that class.
Amiss was similar to some this year in that he was a lead mark kick player, with limited other tools. So not the clear complete top level player. Like a lot this year.
I am definitely no expert, but the draft gurus are saying that quite a few talls are coming through.
I forgot to say Trainor is elite this year. Tall KPD. Weakness against 200cm KPFs, but otherwise elite.
No doubt, all I'm saying is that they would do it by looking at not just the one year but by combining what they've seen in the 2-3 seasons prior to their draft year.The best recruiters pick the kid who will be the best player.
There has never been a pick 1 who had a shit year, that was picked because he was great at aged 16. Injuries, form, attitude etc has seen many a kid slide.No doubt, all I'm saying is that they would do it by looking at not just the one year but by combining what they've seen in the 2-3 seasons prior to their draft year.
I believe any recruiter who had a kid like FOS rated as the number 1 would be looking at this year and seeing how diligent he has been in his recovery from a couple of significant injuries and also how he finishes off the season to remove any doubts that would have been raised by these issues.
Hey guys would uses want to trade for Bailey williams is so what pick im thinking pick 39. He is a ruck btw.
Appreciate it mate. I’m no draft watcher, but eye test tells me that shanahan and Armstrong especially look pretty impressive to me with speed, athleticism and ability to clunk marks. I like those 2 ahead of the rest and if we end up getting a pick around 9-13 for Baker, hoping we take one of them
Would rather 1,7,12,16 & 21.Would the eagles trade pick 3 for picks 7 (Rioli) and 12 (Baker) ?
It would hypothetically leave us with picks 1, 3, 16 (Brisbane points swap), 21
Would rather 1,7,12,16 & 21.
Fos, Lalor, Murphy, Armstrong/Sims & Berry.
It's funny, kid has dominated this season yet we are all waiting for someone else to show something so we don't have to take this kid.
Just dont think the pick 1 value is that high this year for anyone to do that with us. no reid and it's even af in the first round.If we finish with pick 1 and saints get first round battle compensation.
Do we trade pick 1 and 21 for 4 and 5 and maybe a later pick or two then trade basically the rest of our picks to gc for pick 8 or 10. Which after bidding should be able to get us 3 picks in the top 12 or so
