2021 draft watch

Re: 2021 draft watch

Parkers apparently a half back. Although at 193cm might be just big enough to play tall.

If there was one pressing need we had it was definitely another half back.

Just turned 24 as well so he's a mature ager.

Re: 2021 draft watch

We've rookied Charlie Parker (Sturt) and Robbie McComb (Footscray)

Famous bee bop jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker - nickname “The Bird” or “Yardbird”. Welcome Bird!!

Congrats Robbie - our VFL side does it again. Perhaps “The Rooster”? with his surname….

So do we have any main or rookie spots left?

Charlie from his photo might be indigenous?

Decent height & strong build.

Charlie Parker highlights. Watch about a minute in when he brings down no 1 pick Jason Horne-Francis

Glad we finally gave Raak a chance.

No ruck support. Fingers crossed.

Re: 2021 draft watch

We certainly love medium defenders. Any chance the club can get more than 50 seconds of footage of these guys?

Anyone else disappointed we only chose 3 out of the 6 drafted? Perhaps we can turn Darcy into a half back?

Love to see Darcy develop as a CHB - play on the monster forwards

Re: 2021 draft watch

Isn't it great we took the maximum number of players?

Remember only a few years back we would only take 1 rookie and have a club or a sponsor pay for it.

We started the draft with picks 17 & 74

Lipinski and Young were added as trade assets.

In return we got pick 2, 41 & 65 and a future 3rd round upgrade

Now if you proposed that as a trade at the start of any draft you would be laughed at and certified insane.

We won't know how well we spent that bounty for a few years but I'm genuinely excited at the choices we have made of Darcy, Jones, Cleary, Parker, McComb and Raak.
