Interesting that Moir is at no 2, he's really splitting the draft watchers this year. Super-skilled and freakish athleticism but there are questions on his competitiveness and whether his game translates to AFL quite as well.

Lual in the top 20, dammit. Not sure he goes this high in the real thing but looks like we miss out regardless as there's no way he gets to pick 40.

This top 20 leaves out a couple of good wing prospects - Wilson and Freijah who I suspect will both come under consideration for one of our early picks.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

I don't see Lual as a top 20 pick as yet. Will need a good champs.

Same here, he's still got a bit to prove.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

Kevin Sheahan's top 30. I suspect this is a rough order of how he rates them pre champs.

Bendigo Pioneers/Tongala FC/St Joseph’s Echuca
Date of Birth 18/04/05; Height 185 cm; Weight 85kg
NAB League Average Ranking Points: 152 points (3 games)

An exciting prospect, Reid excelled in the under-18 national championships for Vic Country last year. He played a mix of defence, midfield and forward roles, showcasing his versatility and earning him All-Australian honours. He also won Team of the Year selection in the Talent League, after finishing as runner-up in the Pioneers’ best-and-fairest award. Reid has continued that form into the early part of the season, with his bursts from stoppages and precise ball use both features of his game. He won the Australian under-18s best player award in the AFL Academy squad’s match against Port Adelaide’s SANFL team in April, collecting a team-high 22 disposals (14 contested), six marks and seven clearances in a very impressive performance. Reid has already had a taste of VFL football with Carlton to continue his development leading into this year’s national championships. He suffered a concussion in his second match for the Australian under-18 team in May.


NICK WATSON
Eastern Ranges/Montrose FC/Caulfield Grammar
Date of Birth 24/02/05; Height 170 cm; Weight 67kg
NAB League Average Ranking Points: 143 points (3 games)

A small forward, Watson is quick, agile and crafty and has a real appetite for the contest. He is a real jack in the box as well and gave a glimpse of his potential last year as he booted 23 goals across 10 Talent League and national championship matches as a bottom-age prospect. Watson has started this season in good touch, playing expanded roles through the midfield and in defence in his opening three matches in the Coates Talent League. He is averaging 26 disposals (9.7 contested) and has kicked five goals. He was also among the best players for the Australian under 18 team in a representative match against Port Adelaide’s SANFL side as part of Gather Round in April. Watson gathered 18 disposals and kicked one goal that day, splitting his time between forward and defence roles. He again spent some time down back in the Australian under-18 team’s second match against Carlton’s VFL side in May, in which he had 10 disposals and kicked a goal before sitting out the last quarter with a minor ankle issue.


JAKE ROGERS
Gold Coast Suns Academy/ Broadbeach Cats FC
Date of Birth 02/03/05; Height 171 cm; Weight 68kg
NAB League Average Ranking Points: 136 points (4 games)

He was another player who performed well as a bottom-aged player with the Allies last year and has developed and matured further since then. He has averaged 26 disposals and 6.3 tackles in the Coates Talent League for the Suns and was one of the Australian under-18 team’s best players against Port Adelaide’s SANFL side in an exhibition match in April. Rogers went on to again shine brightly for the Australian under-18 team in its second match against Carlton’s VFL side in May, gathering 26 disposals and six clearances through the midfield claiming the medal as his team’s best player.

That included a haul of four majors against Western Australia in the last under-18 championships match, as a bottom-age player. His ability to kick the ball with precision on either foot, particularly with set shots for goal, is unique. Moir kicked four goals twice in opening four rounds of the SANFL this season, with one coming at under-18s level and one in the reserves. However, he has been slightly hampered by a hip injury in the early part of the year and is yet to show his full potential.

Sanders has stepped up and shown himself to be a talented playmaker this year. He started the season in fine form with the Dragons, averaging 31.7 disposals and 5 tackles in the opening three rounds. He was also another one to catch the eye with a strong performance for the Australian under-18 team in its representative match against Port Adelaide’s SANFL side backing it up in the second match against Carlton’s VFL side as he collected 24 disposals to be one of the side’s best.

A tall forward who is an exceptional overhead mark, Reid is extremely mobile, good below his knees and has a natural goal sense which makes him a difficult match-up. After performing strongly for the Power last season – including kicking three goals in the preliminary final – he had an injury-interrupted start to 2023. However, Reid is now fully fit once again and is ready to show his undoubted potential in the national championships. Across three matches in the Coates Talent League this year he has averaged 13.7 disposals, 4.7 marks and 1.7 goals. Reid is the younger brother of Essendon defender Zach.

Freijah backed that up with 35 disposals in a Vic Country trial in his very next match. He holds his width when playing on the wing, providing his team with an outlet option with its ball movement. However, he can also play inside, where he uses his vision and footy smarts to set up the play.

Coming from an athletics background, he was once ranked in the top-five in the world in the 400 metres hurdles, so it was no surprise when he posted a quick time of 7.9 seconds in the agility test during pre-season testing.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

Gee Wizz Gold Coast are in for a bonanza haul at the draft this year with all these super talented academy kids. Jed Walter was amazing v SA yesterday. Surely a top 5 pick. Jake Rogers was brilliant and Ethan Read very good. These 2 most likely 1st rounders as well.

from a Bulldogs perspective Ryley Sanders was outstanding in central midfield for the Allies and I loved the game of SA small forward Jack Delean who exploded in the 3rd to bring his state back into contention when it had all seemed lost. Allies looking very good this year, their first half was fantastic.

Going to be hot competition to get the GCS First Rounder. I hope we are at least in the race at this early stage, especially if Croft bolts up the order.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

It's going to be interesting to see who we might target outside of Croft and Lual.

Darcy Wilson would really suit us. Midfielder or forward and I wonder if George Stevens is someone else we might have some interest in because I think he might have trained with us in January along with Lual and Croft.

Definately, would be happy with either Wilson or Stevens. Looking forward to see how they go at the champs

Probably not but it's possible. I don't see him going in the top 20 as per some of the speculation.

I like a few of the Ballarat players this year. Joel Freijah is right up there in the pecking order but Darcy Wilson would also be a terrific get for us.
