2023 Draft Watch

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

Josh Chatfield has gotten a state combine invitation, basically confirms that someone wants to take him at the Draft. Hope it's us.

It means ONE club has placed him on their 50-list. Well, it actually means 1, 2 or 3 clubs have placed him on the 50-list. 4 or more is the general criteria for a national combine invitation...

I think there is a fair chance we might select two from Footscray and from what I've seen Chatfield could be a good prospect.

From AFL.com.au

NORTH Melbourne's capacity to trade up to land gun youngster Harley Reid could depend on the draft compensation for free agent Ben McKay after the Roos' surprise win over Gold Coast on Saturday.

The Roos broke a 20-game losing streak in the final round of the season, seeing them jump ahead of West Coast on the ladder and avoid their third straight wooden spoon.

It comes after the Eagles had shocked the Western Bulldogs the previous week to climb off the bottom of the ladder, a win that shook up the potential scenarios at the top of the draft.

Now the Eagles hold the whip hand in any trade discussions over Reid and the No.1 selection, with the Roos to wait on the free agency compensation they receive for McKay, who is expected to take up a rival offer.

AFL.com.au revealed last week Hawthorn had joined the race for the key defender alongside Sydney, Essendon and Port Adelaide.

North Melbourne has said it would be prepared to force a trade for McKay if band one compensation isn't triggered, with the Roos also holding Port Adelaide's first-round pick this year. Their current hand of picks is: No.2, 16, 39, 53, 59.

Greater Western Sydney had a double delight over the weekend, with Adam Kingsley's side breaking into the finals in his first year in charge and Richmond losing its final game of the season, seeing the Giants end up with pick No.6 at the draft with the selection tied to the Tigers.

The top 10 picks of the draft ? and first 10 of every round ? were locked in on Sunday night at the conclusion of the home and away season, however more change is tipped in a busy trade period.

Trade its No.4 pick to get a better hand of selections to match bids on its batch of Academy guns.

Melbourne has finished with pick No.5 (tied to Fremantle) after its deal for Luke Jackson last trade period, while Geelong (No.7), Essendon (8), Adelaide (9) and the Western Bulldogs (10) round out the top 10.

The Bulldogs will be barracking for an early exit from the finals for Brisbane, with the Dogs holding the Lions' first-round pick after last year's Josh Dunkley deal.

Via freo - O?Meara trade.

Did they get it from Fremantle as part of the O'mera deal?

More to the point, how is anyone considering giving NM a compo pick when 2x top 25 picks are going to other clubs courtesy of North.

Why do we reward stupidity?

Which players would you hope might be in the mix for us this year? Croft and who else?

There's a lot to play out. I'm hoping we trade up a few spots to make sure we get a first round pick ahead of any Croft bid.
I rate a couple of first round prospects higher than most - Darcy Wilson and Ollie Murphy for a start. I'd love Nick Watson too, 170cm but an incredible player.

Duursma just keeps performing but Hawks love him and have pick 3.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

For the under age watches lets assume Croft wasn't in this years pool.

What type of players would you expect to be available with our first three indicative picks 10, 17, 36

I'd be looking at Darcy Wilson at 10 (this years' version of Ollie Hollands), hope Ollie Murphy is there at 17 (Tholstrup otherwise) and probably a Kane McAuliffe type at 36
