2022 Draft Watch

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

He has to. 7 goals v WA he looks the goods. Really skilled for a tall.

There will need to be a bit of work done to get him fit.
His agility and 2km efforts at the combine were right in the bottom bracket but he is an exciting prospect.

That's interesting.

Is that par for the course with a tall?

Could be a huge upside when he's fit.

Most of the bigger boys aren't great runners especially when compared to the midfielders and the combine pits talls vs smalls in the same contests. There is plenty of work to be done to get him fitter but his sprint efforts and vertical jumps were impressive enough but there is some work to be done on his endurance and agility.
At 194.5 and 83kg and having just turned 18 I'm sure clubs will think they can get a lot more out of him.

His marking ability will excite clubs.

Depends what clubs look for. Cordy and Gardner are aerobic beasts - Gardner was 7th in the comp for TOG last year and Lobb is right up there too.

Perhaps we'll back him in, or we rank that aspect of the game higher than other clubs?

This year really is a mystery. Some think Tsatas will now slide a bit too

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

Jefferson played with a crack in his fibula late in the season, may have affected his fitness a little.

Watched Konstanty put in a really solid training session in the pouring rain yesterday, certainly putting in the work.

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

9 people in the interview with Brayden George seems excessive.
Would that have been increased because of his knee injury or does anyone know if it's around the mark with interviews?

Man, that soft cap must really be biting. Once upon a time the clubs would have 16 or so per player...(sarcasm).

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

I reckon Jedd Busslinger will be the one that slides to out pick. Would woofers take him?

We need a developing intercepter, is he competitive enough? can he stifle and opponent ? Does he suit the Bevo mould?

What pick exactly are we talking about him sliding down too?

I would have thought 11 would be about where he's expected to go...not a slide, just 'about' right.

He's a good player.

There has been plenty of top 10 talk, yeah think he could be available at our first pick

2 or 3 months ago many of the draft experts had him in their top 10. Ive read a few phantom drafts that have him going somewhere between 9 and 14 so he is right in our window. While Id prefer Allan if we land Busslinger Ill be OK with that.
Watched some highlights of George and if we were 100% confident that he will come back from his injury we might also be able to trade pick 11 for something a bit later and take him.

Riley Garcia had an ACLin his draft year and we took him 3rd/4th round. If he is there at 21 I think we'd pull the trigger, but it would be hard to go past some of the others coming off full development seasons at 11.

I haven't seen a lot of him but investing in the best key defender now given the age of Jones and Keath makes sense although I read it here that some don't regard him as a real key defender. Looks to have a good frame that needs to be beefed up.
If he is the best available lets jump on it.

Would that be easier to do later in the draft?

West Coast have pick 20 and have interviewed him 3 times
