Allen to Geelong at (current pick) 7 certainly would shake things up

Crikey this is one of the hardest to pick for ages.

Phwoar, that would be a massive leap from where he was prior to the combine. Still feel that people are just looking at the combine results and not any vision because I personally don't see why he's suddenly so highly rated.

I think they rate him as another Blicavs type.

I like his sidestep and he does have late season form.
IIRC Oliver didn't even play champs yet bolted into the top 4 of his draft year

I can see why he is rated so highly but it is a bit of a shock to see him as a possible top 7 selection.

There is a lot of speculation that the order is going to be shaken up a bit and we might be in a position to take advantage of it by picking up a top rated player that slides down the order.

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

Im hopeful we are going to land a big fish. If Allan goes earlier than originally thought it might mean West Coast need to jump on Busslinger. How does that impact us?

It does sound like they would only take Allan if Clark is already gone though - so it's really Jhye Clark going before pick 7 that would shake up the order!

Yes, it's sounds like that is their back up option. Could throw the order around.

Carlton will then take Holland

Where have you read that?

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

Joe Richards, the bolter from the bush. A small forward Cal Twomey thinks could go in the top 30. We are looking closely at small forwards (hooray) could he be on our radar?

Looks the part doesnt he?

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

Several articles have Carlton taking Holland and he is a fan of Sam Walsh and a Carlton supporter.

[Stevo]

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

It shouldnt matter if he can play next year or not, we are drafting him for the next 10+

Does the injury shorten that horizon? For every Petracca and Selwood scenario there would be 5 that were never the same player after an ACL.

Cal Twomey's November rankings.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/866179/cal-twomey-s-phantom-form-guide-top-draft-prospects-november-ranking

The players below Twomey mentions the Dogs as possible destinations. It's heavily edited so for full details click on the link.

Mattaes Phillipou
190cm/89kg
27/12/04
Woodville West Torrens/South Australia
Midfielder/forward

Where does he go? Is right in the mix for Essendon's first pick, while he will meet with the Hawks again. West Coast, St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs are also considered to be in the frame for him, as would be the Blues if he got that far.


Oliver Hollands

183cm/71kg
16/1/04
Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country
Midfielder

Where does he go? Is invited to attend the opening night of the draft and has been linked to Carlton at pick No.10 and the Western Bulldogs at No.11. His strong running capacity could interest the Saints at No.9, while Sydney would look closely if he got through to its pick.


Ed Allan

194cm/83kg
26/5/04
Claremont/Western Australia
Midfielder

Where does he go? Geelong has shown interest in him, with the Western Bulldogs and West Coast also considered chances in the opening dozen selections. Melbourne has been linked, while the Giants could also consider in the teens. It's hard to see him being available at the Eagles' third pick (No.20).


Jedd Busslinger
196cm/82kg
11/3/04
East Perth/Western Australia
Key defender

Where does he go? Will be in the Eagles' thoughts with their two first-round selections, while the Western Bulldogs could also look at pick No.11. Sydney, should Busslinger be available at No.14, shapes as a chance too.


Jaspa Fletcher
183cm/76kg
24/2/04
Brisbane Lions Academy/Allies
Midfielder

Where does he go? Fletcher is invited to the opening night of the draft, showing where a father-son bid could come for Fletcher. Carlton, the Western Bulldogs and Collingwood loom as possible bidders. Brisbane has prepared itself for early bids and will be able to match to secure Fletcher.


Alwyn Davey Jnr
181cm/77kg
26/2/04
Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro
Midfielder/forward

Where does he go? Has nominated to Essendon as a father-son where he will follow his father Alwyn snr in the red and black. But where does the bid come? The Giants and Swans could consider, as could the Bulldogs at No.21. Otherwise, he's likely to get past the Bombers' pick 22.


Olli Hotton
182cm/80kg
6/9/04
Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
Midfielder/forward

Where does he go? Could he follow his dad Trent (who also played at Carlton) and land at Collingwood with one of its three top-27 picks? The Pies are in the mix. As are the Western Bulldogs at No.21 and Greater Western Sydney. West Coast could also have a look with its two second-rounders.


Jacob Konstanty
177cm/73kg
9/11/04
Gippsland Power/Vic Country
Small forward

Where does he go? Has been long linked to the Giants as a small forward option who can give them forward pressure, while Sydney and Collingwood could look. If not, the Bulldogs, North Melbourne and Fremantle could be options in the second round.


Lachie Cowan
87cm/81kg
1/12/04
Tasmania Devils/Allies
Defender/midfielder

Where does he go? Collingwood has been linked to Cowan within the first round, while North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs early in the second round shape as possible destinations as well.


Henry Hustwaite
195cm/82kg
20/7/04
Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country
Midfielder

Where does he go? Another player who could be in the mix for the Giants' suite of selections in the latter part of the first round. If not there, the Western Bulldogs are another possible suitor.


Jakob Ryan

189cm/79kg
29/4/04
Glenelg/South Australia
Defender

Where does he go? Could be in the mix with the Magpies' three picks inside the top 30, while the Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and West Coast could also look in the second round.

Re: 2022 Draft Watch

I'm pretty happy with those names mentioned Doc but would have liked us to be linked with Weddle and George as well.
Thanks for condensing the list.

Ed Allan looks to be one of the more pivot selections that could shape things.
