2023 AFL Draft

[Andyy]

Any thoughts on Riley Weatherwill from Eastern Ranges? 195cm key forward who has kicked 4 and 3 goals respectively in his two finals so far. 31 goals in his 13 games for the year.

Probably better than Pickett so it's a yes for me. Even for VFL structure

[camboon]

If he is 5’11 back flanker that requires a lot of development and is a little shy of the hard stuff where do we sign , no one over 6’2 thanks

Not many midfielders in the top group of draftees this year but next year already looks a stack.

Jot down Christian Moraes’ name. Another ripping game today for the Eastern Ranges in their prelim win - 28 disp and two goals and could have had more. Averaged 27 disp this season.

Twomey reckons it's unlikely North will be gifted Sanders, but the AFL may them instead a mid-first round priority pick (pick 11).

From BF:

Some goal kicking stats for Riley Weatherill

14 games for 35 goals 22 behinds
Finals this year, 4.1, 3.2, 4.0 so 11 goals 3 behinds in the pressure of finals footy, if the introverted stuff is true, he could have confidence but not show it, performing under pressure is a big tick imo.

North Melbourne has applied for a priority pick at the top of the draft, but Laura Kane's recommendation to the AFL Commission will instead likely be late first rounders in 2023/24, + a second rounder in 2024.

@NMFCOfficial would be free to use these three selections however it chooses.

Gil is strongly involved in the Commission's decision, which will come on Monday. Whether they adopt the recommendations remains to be seen.

(Which means the only way North can realistically get Ryley Sanders is to stockpile these picks and trade up the draft).

Shaun Mannagh, who use to play with our VFL side from 2017-19, had 28 disposals and kicked 6 goals in a lone effort for Werribee today.

Edit: He won the Norm Goss Smith medal for best on ground despite being on the losing side.

FREAKISH GF FEAT HAS 26YO ON RADAR

Oft-overlooked VFL gun Shaun Mannagh has put his name back on the AFL draft radar with a rare feat in Sunday’s Grand Final.

Mannagh, who finished top five in the Liston Trophy and kicked 34 goals from the wing across the VFL season, starred for Werribee in a losing effort to Gold Coast at Ikon Park.

While the Suns won by 19 points Mannagh became one of the rare players to win a best-on-ground medal in a loss, thanks to a mammoth 28 disposals and six goals. He had 16 disposals and four goals at halftime.

Mannagh previously featured in Richmond’s VFL side, playing under Collingwood coach Craig McRae, before boosting his endurance in recent years and moving to Werribee for greater opportunities.

He was overlooked in the 2022 and 2023 midseason drafts and while at 26 his age will be a limiting factor in his chances of making an AFL list, the performances are clearly worth consideration.

------------------------------

"The perception from recruiters was Shaun Mannagh didn’t quite have the explosiveness to find his way onto an AFL list.

Reckon there might be a few clubs having another look after today. Could be a life-changing game for him despite not getting the @VFL premiership medal"

Probably would've been upgraded to our AFL list already had he stayed - better than Tresize and probably better than anyone we'll get with our shyte draft picks.

Not the same player as Tresize so i don't think this is accurate

[Diocletian]

Didn't say he was Jacky boy, was talking in general terms of promoting VFL players, still accurate that he's a better player - would be an upgrade on you as well.

Better? not so sure as Tresize had a ripping year. Mannagh decent year with 1 outstanding game. Tresize everyday of the week.
