Time to look ahead.

The next crop: 10 to watch in the 2019 NAB AFL Draft

 

 

i can't recall, do we have our first round draft pick for 2019 still? pretty sure we do, as i think we have to use it right?

We still have our 2019 pick and need to use it I believe based on that 4 year cycle rule. It will be good to get some elite young talent in again next year. Taylor and co landed Clarry and Weid last time they had first round picks!

Yes need to use 1st rounder in 2019

Our first round pick will probably be pick 18 in 2019, I don't see us getting another top 10 pick for a while 'Lord'...let alone 2.

 

I am personally much more interested in the list of free agents next year. We shouldn't have an early first-round draft pick unless one or more of our better players is traded, and I can't see that happening tbh.

We must start to lure some top-shelf free agents while we are in the window. That's if any are available ofc.

Hopefully though at the end of next season, if things go our way, we wont care very much.

 

 

Many of next year's crop will come from the elite players training at AFL Clubs this week.

Looking at the top ten is pretty pointless unless we swap with the Blues or the Suns!

Mid-season draft: When is it and how will it work?
 

 

We got a Febey brother from a mid year draft. 1992, I think.

So it looks like Kobe Farmer can't  be selected till next year at the earliest.

I wanted to miss the draft talk this early.  But given we are 18th, I’ll start showing interest now!!!

Not sure if Kobe Farmer is rated as highly as what we thought he did.

Pick no 1, come on down!

AFL Draft Power Rankings: Giants academy prospect holds off chargers from Oakleigh

The National Under 18 Championships aren’t far away. Here’s a preview from AFL Draft Central of the first of the trial games for Victorian selection. 

Scouting notes from the trials.

An Australian Under 18 squad played the Casey Demons at the MCG in an exhibition game.

Casey went full bore in the first half and led by four goals at the main break with 10 AFL listed players but took most of them off for the second half and the Aussie team took over and won by about four goals. Best for the Australian team we’re Oakleigh Chargers pair Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson.

Some good players in that lot, oddly enough.  I only watched a little bit of the game, but there were a couple of very hard at it mids with pace and skill running around out there.
