2021 Draft thread

[camboon]

Chris Dores got no idea, why would we pick a player at 9 who will be likely there at 28

[Diocletian]

He's a clueless Colliflog...

From one of BF's draft watchers eDPS (Ed Pascoe):


Here they are the final rankings for 2021, only 11 names from the start of the year remain in the 20. Plenty of unlucky names with the draft very even in the 2nd round.

These Hawk fans did a first round phantom draft.

They chose Ward for Hawthorn and Gibcus & Zac Taylor for Richmond.

Fremantle will be looking to ‘get the best combination possible’ with its two top 10 picks in next week’s NAB AFL National Draft:

Chris Dohre seems to do his draft on ability not on the likelyhood of a club drafting them.

He would be aware that we will be taking a midfielder/s with out early picks.

How your club stands ahead of the 2021 draft

By Peter Ryan and Owen Leonard
The Age
November 20, 2021

RICHMOND

PICKS: 7, 15, 26, 27, 28, 83

KEY DEFENDERS: Noah Balta, Nathan Broad, Robbie Tarrant, Ben Miller.

SMALL/MEDIUM DEFENDERS: Nick Vlastuin, Dylan Grimes, Jayden Short, Liam Baker, Sydney Stack.

MIDFIELDERS: Dustin Martin, Dion Prestia, Shane Edwards, Shai Bolton, Trent Cotchin, Kane Lambert, Kamdyn McIntosh, Jack Graham, Marlion Pickett, Jack Ross, Thomson Dow, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Will Martyn, Hugo Ralphsmith, Matthew Parker.

KEY FORWARDS: Tom Lynch, Jack Riewoldt, Bigoa Nyuon.

SMALL/MEDIUM FORWARDS: Jason Castagna, Daniel Rioli, Jake Aarts, Maurice Rioli, Josh Caddy.

RUCKS: Toby Nankervis, Ivan Soldo, Samson Ryan.

With five selections inside the top 30, Richmond have an excellent chance to replenish their list soon after a golden era that yielded three premierships.

The prized pick seven could be used on a strong midfielder such as Josh Ward, Ben Hobbs or Neil Erasmus or an intercept marking defender such as Josh Gibcus. The Tigers would also be remiss to not consider Jye Amiss as champion forward Jack Riewoldt nears the end of his career, particularly after losing Mabior Chol and Callum Coleman-Jones in the trade period, however they will pick the best player available rather than draft for need at such a high pick. They also like Josh Rachele, but sources suspect Adelaide will take him off the table before the Tigers step up to the plate.

The second pick may slide or go up the draft depending on pick swaps and who is available, but there will be plenty of good players available at their second pick such as Darcy Wilmot, Campbell Chesser or Tyler Sonsie, with the club also well-placed to enter any discussions about pick swaps with 26, 27 and 28 in their hand.

Noah Cumberland will be re-rookied*.

* The last sentence isn't correct according to Cumberland himself. He's been re-added to the senior list.

Why are they still doing the draft over two nights... 

[the claw]

Chris Dohre seems to do his draft on ability not on the likelyhood of a club drafting them.

He would be aware that we will be taking a midfielder/s with out early picks.

Your kidding arent ya. We have a one year window with what players we have and for fcuck sakes our tall stocks moving forward are abysmal. you know what i mean looking past next year or the next.

As far as youngish kpp's go there is Balta and then nothing. You are going to be greatly disappointed if we take Gibcus or Amiss or even Andrew with our first pick and it is really on the cards depending on which mids get ntaken early.

[Diocletian]

Word is this year is a midfielder's draft, next year's draft will be a bumper crop for talls while this year is shyte - all the higher rated ones are only there by default and would be third rounders in most other years....

Will we see any bombshell live trades involving top-10 picks?

Multiple clubs have already tried to orchestrate moves over the past few months, yet none have succeeded. That doesn’t mean no big moves will go down on Wednesday and Thursday, though. The Giants’ Pick 2 has been in hot demand, as reported by foxfooty.com.au last month, with multiple clubs keen to trade up to that selection in order to get their hands on young gun midfielder Finn Callaghan. Gold Coast (Pick 3), Adelaide (Pick 4), Hawthorn (Pick 5), Fremantle (Pick 6) and Richmond (Pick 7) have all been heavily linked to the left-footed Callaghan, with both the Suns and Crows already making inquiries. But foxfooty.com.au understands the Giants are now poised to take Pick 2 to the draft … unless they receive a godfather, too-good-to-refuse offer from a rival team on draft night. Clubs are also keeping tabs on Adelaide, which holds Pick 4. If the Crows retain their first pick, they’re expected to take Josh Rachele. But rival teams believe the Crows would be prepared and willing to trade down the order if it meant they could still get their hands on their preferred prospect. Multiple sources told foxfooty.com.au the Crows have interest in Sandringham Dragons’ Josh Sinn and Glenelg’s Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. The Giants also hold Pick 13 and are one of three clubs with two first-round picks, along with Richmond and the Brisbane Lions. Don’t be surprised if the latter two, or even Essendon and reigning premiers Melbourne, attempted to move up the order in the first round. One recruiter told foxfooty.com.au last month they expected the middle to latter stages of the first round to be “red-hot” due to the number of pick swaps they’re anticipating.

Why are they still doing the draft over two nights... 

Because it makes it so much cooler and suspenseful.
