2019 Draft Watch

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

I'd be the opposite of that, I'd be asking the recruiters why they passed on him. Footy smarts, great attitude and the fact that he can play senior football early are compelling reasons to get him to any or every club.

I can't see him being available at our pick (I have him #3 on a draft order) and just think he's too good for so many clubs to prefer others over him.

Would love to see your draft order - at least until pick 13... 😁

I'll add it tonight. I don't try and predict where the players will go they're just ranked by my limited vision of them

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

There are two draft orders you can do
1 best players in order.
2 teams needs.
Teams needs is more realistic.
Could you possibly do both GVGjr it would be interesting to see how players could change in order, who would drop and who would jump.

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

Here is 20 names as I see them, there will be plenty of changes from about pick 15 onwards

Matthew Rowell
Dylan Stephens
Deven Roberston
Tom Green
Luke Jackson
Sam Flanders
Noah Anderson
Liam Henry
Hayden Young
Brodie Kemp
Lachlan Ash
Caleb Serong
Finn Maginness
Fischer McAsey
Josh Worrell
Dylan Williams
Miles Bergmen
Cody Weightman
Will Gould
Harrison Jones

I have enough trouble trying to predict our own line-ups this season by our MC than to even attempt to work out what other clubs might do

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

If it went that way and Hawks matched a bid at 13, would you take the key defender in McAsey next, or favour one of the others behind him?

Next best all the way.

It's still an unsettled list but the players ranked in the top 10 I can't see changing much

Rowell is an impressive midfielder as are Stephens and Roberston. Green looks very capable of being a senior footballer and the rest all have genuine top 10 claims

Jackson is probably unlikely to go top 8 as history says ruckman go much later but he looks a real prospect

Surely the suns take Rowell and Anderson, there’s a certain poetry in that story and no doubt the draw of staying up there if they have each other.

Thanks for sharing your view

I'm not trying to predict which players the clubs take but having said that I'd put money on the Suns taking Rowell and Anderson at 1 and 2
Stephens and Robertson I just rate higher than Anderson

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

Bit of a quirky one- Port have allegedly stopped any communication with Jackson Mead. As in, they just haven't been in touch in quite a while and Jackson and his folks don't really know where it's at.

Maybe this is some sort of psychological ploy to stop other clubs going an early bid to force Port's hand, but it's still a bit odd they wouldn't at least touch base every now and then. They are obviously hoping he gets past 18. Or maybe they aren't all that keen?

That’s very strange , being father son, he would have been training at the club since about 16 years of age you would have thought.

Cal Twomeys latest phantom draft:

https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-23/cal-twomeys-2019-phantom-form-guide-october-update

Still have Rowell/Anderson as 1/2 and have Josh Worrell at pick 13.

Looks like the stock of Robertson and McAsey both seem to be rising.

Will Day looks about 13 in his photo.

I have no basis for it, but Bergman seems like a "Bulldogs" pick.

Re: 2019 Draft Watch

Who every AFL club should consider with their first pick in the national draft

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Draft picks: 13, 53, 89

Draftable Father-Son/Academy prospects: N/A

The Bulldogs were mighty firm on holding their first pick during trade period, indicating their desire to select a prospect in the second-half of the first round. It seems the forward-half of the ground is where their pressing needs, with Cody Weightman and Josh Worrell two such prospects. Weightman has great goal sense and x-factor around goal, with the lively prospect booting nine goals in four appearances for Vic Country. Worrell’s shoulder injury kept him out of testing at the national combine, but his athletic traits have been on show in 2019 as he has played right across the ground, using his leap to effectiveness at either end.

Late bloomer/bolter. Outside/forward player with good kicking skills addresses need. St Bedes boy. There’s some bulldogs/Bevo about him you’re right.

And the kicker - late birthday.
