2023 Draft Watch

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

What is Aiden O’Driscoll like at football? Great results from the Combine.

Damn O'Driscolls.

All I can tell you is Colm O'Driscoll is said to prefer quantity over quality when it comes to recruitment, so standards to join the gang are very low; all that is needed to qualify for membership is for one to be able to operate a gun, to ride a horse and to plunder and pillage without thought. The leadership's loyalty to their men is no different; every individual member is expendable and Colm appears to have a nack for easily finding replacements for the men he has lost.

ESPN rates Caddy higher and Watson lower than most other rankings which is more in line with mjp. I really like what I hear about Caddy but would he be a reach at our pick?

I know he was a bolter but wasn't Bont considered a reach at 4? If he's the best remaining of our top 6 prospects take him, who cares about what media folk think

I know him well.

What do you want to know? First thing I would say is his 20m time UNDERSTATES just how fast he is...he is ELECTRIC with his speed and vertical jumping ability.

He is also VERY small!

Some interesting comments in the article to justify the rise. Lack of consistency and ill discipline are now behind him. What's the sample size to suggest consistency and ill discipline are no longer issues? Strange.

Well, on July 22nd he got reported 4x in one game for striking the SAME OPPO PLAYER.

That was in round 16.

Clearly that sort of thing is behind him.

He is talented and exciting and all of that - I would 100% rather have him than Liam Henry - but in a championship game this year when he was NOT INJURED he had 2 possessions.

Re: 2023 Draft Watch

4 times in 1 match!?!?!?!?!

4 SEPARATE occasions.

I'm not talking reported by multiple umpires for the same incident.

And here's what's rubbish about footy...Oppo coach was told - actually, I can't really tell that story.

Was there a similar story around Phillipou last year?

Watson V Collard who will be the better player at AFL level woofers?

I can't remember that one Granty. I think it was over-confidence not attitude that challenged a few clubs with him.

George Stevens in the teens!
I'm guessing he's one kid that will split recruiters

Just needs a couple of them to rate him but yes, there is a wider view on how he might go at the senior level.
