2021 draft watch

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Re: 2021 draft watch

I probably rate intercept ability higher than most. A determined kid with a little bit of height who can read the play as a Cat B rookie, who was on the radar of rival clubs at the mid season draft. It seems like a free hit

Surely as a Cat B rookie, he's worth taking on?

I mean, we took Khamis who was always a long shot at making it (and even after 3? 4? years on the list, still is a long shot).

We should draft him. For no other reason that to stuff with GWS

Just tell them that if you pick Darcy at 2 or 3 we will draft Mummy at 48

I've been reading they're going to bid with 2.

Pr1cks.

Is he that good?

Re: 2021 draft watch

We have nominated Cody Raak via the NGA once again. Still no idea if we have any plan to draft him.

It's a bit like Ugle Hagan, I didn't think he was the best player in the draft but at times you have to stump up to get quality players.
Darcy is a long term investment which is why it's a bit of a shame we will have to pay so much early on to land him.

I'm worried that having this ace hand maybe a mirage.

Re: 2021 draft watch

This in the Hun, Charlie Dean would be a nice addition but perhaps an unlikely one for us. Avery has been linked with us by a few sources.

Western Bulldogs

Draft picks: 23, 43, 44, 45, 52, 93

List needs: Key defender, ruckman

Who could be available at first pick: Sam Darcy

Could be in the mix after that: Charlie Dean, Cody Raak (NGA), Jack Avery, Hugh Stagg, Dante Visentini

It’s all about Darcy for the Bulldogs and rightly so. The son of club great Luke moves incredibly well for a 204cm big man, but what he can do in the air is even more impressive – at either end, too. With pick 23 set to be eaten up by the Darcy bid, rival clubs are aware the Bulldogs would be open to trading it, in order to strengthen its hand at the back-end this year, or next. The VFL’s Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medallist, Dean, could fill an immediate need in defence late in the draft, while Perth’s Jack Avery was overlooked in last year’s draft but he’s another prospect capable of having instant impact across halfback, following a standout season in the WAFL. Raak (NGA) and Macpherson (father-son) were also overlooked by the Bulldogs in 2020 but trained with the club in January.

November latest: With the Giants a chance to bid on Darcy before Nick Daicos, given their needs, the club’s draft hand could take a bigger hit than first expected. Explosive midfielder-forward Stagg, who won the McCallum Tomkins Medal as the best player in the SANFL under-18 competition, could be available late and the Bulldogs have shown plenty of interest.

Mixed reports. Some love him as that intercepting anchor defender who reads the play well behind the ball, but there are concerns about his straight line speed. Even the recruiters who love him have him firmly behind Daicos as a prospect, and a couple of the closer draft watchers think they'd prefer a genuinely settled 'one position player'.

It's all moot - we played in a Grand Final and will pick up one of the top kids in the draft, a year after nabbing the no 1 pick. It's highway robbery and we should be doing cartwheels.
3rd generation player so it's hard to fault his lineage.

Ditto the King boys.
Unless your name rhymes with Narrod Brant, it's easier to add size than to add talent.
