2021 Draft thread

[camboon]

He’s a bit slow I hear and with all the AFL’s changes it’s hard for kids who  aren’t quarterbacks to make it,  wonder if Greg Williams and Sam Mitchell would get picked up.

[The Machine]

Roberts another mid still on the board as well...people seem to have gone off him of late but was rated fairly high at one point IIRC...


Ned Long another one still there....

Wouldn't hesitate in taking him with our fifth selection. A pure mid

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Lots of quality (? As I don't really know) midfielders still left on the board. We could clean up with our group of picks here.

Johnson, Sonsie, Taylor, Butler(mid/fwd), Knevitt, Murley, Stagg, Howes (mid/fwd)....

And yet we picked a tom brown

Callum Twomey's round 1 draft review:

"Richmond pick up a key defender and a running defender. So that's clearly been an area of focus for them. Gibcus fits a need for the Richmond line-up going forward so great pick up there".

For me if still there at 26 id be all over Goater. Knevitt, and Draper. Might get lucky and one maybe two  gets to us. One or  Two of Howes Williams and Bazzo would be good with the other picks.

Yet he hardly addresses an outstanding need fmd the Tassie boy Banks looks just as good at hb and we would not have had to use a top 17 pick to get him.

If the club thinks our mid stocks a good enough then i have to disagree especially moving fwd. With 5 top 30 picks it is just not an area we can ignore.

[TigerLand]

The more I think about it out picks make a bit more sense.

Areas of need are defence and mids. Even tho we lost CCJ and Daw. I think Lynch and Jack have 2022 locked in with possibly Bank and Soldo rotating forwards possibly long term. Jack only needs replacing for 2024.

The draft has very little decent defensive players so it makes sense plus the fact Geelong pick at 23 they would have most certainly picked up Brown without question. Losing Jordan Clarke off half back and being 20 games away from father son. I love the fact we picked Brown up with their pick lol

The next 10 rated picks are all mids. I'd expect us to pick 3 mids next 3 picks and with some luck a couple could be top 20 type rated mids which would be a huge win for us.

[Diocletian]

Windhager another who should be up for grabs if Owens gets bid on before him as I doubt Aints would have enough points to match bids for both players...

[mightytiges]

The following players are left.
Matt Johnson
Sam Butler
Tyler Sonsie
Blake Howes
Josh Goater
Jesse Motlop
Mitch Knevitt
Toby Conway
Arlo Draper
Josh Fahey
Connor McDonald
Jake Soligo
Zac Taylor
Rhett Bazzo
Jack Williams

Plenty of good options

A guess of the next 7 picks before ours based on reading around other clubs forums (assuming no trades).

21. Freo - Johnson
22. North - Motlop
23. Haw - Sonsie
24. Geel - Knevitt
25. Geel - Conway
26. Haw - Butler
27. Carl - MacDonald

Leaves three of the rest for us to choose from at picks 28-30.

ps. It also wouldn't be a surprise if we make a bid for Fahey with GWS matching it and/or a bid for Owens with St Kilda matching it.

[Rampsation]

I hope we trade out of the draft tonight and trade into next years draft. I hope we get Taylor beyond that Id trade out the other two picks for a 1st rounder next year or if Taylor is gone trade out all 3 picks for a future 1st and 2nd.

Of those ones left, assuming GWS match for Fahey, I would be very happy to get Taylor and Bazzo. Then maybe Draper.

[georgies31]

I hope we trade out of the draft tonight and trade into next years draft. I hope we get Taylor beyond that Id trade out the other two picks for a 1st rounder next year or if Taylor is gone trade out all 3 picks for a future 1st and 2nd.

Plenty of  talent there midfielders galore hit the draft.

[camboon]

They might not get Bazzo now we have Gibcus , two of Howes ,Goater Taylor and Draper would be a win

[one-eyed]

Bids are expected to come in the first 10 or so selections tonight for Greater Western Sydney Academy prospect Josh Fahey and St Kilda Next Generation Academy product Mitchito Owens, with the Blues linked to a bid on half-back Fahey and the Tigers a chance to bid on Owens.

Ruckman Toby Conway will come into contention for Geelong and also the Blues, while the Hawks have done plenty of work on Butler and could be a chance to nab him. Tyler Sonsie, too, will be in the mix for Hawthorn's selections but could also be available for the Tigers' stretch of three straight picks from No.28-30.
