2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch

Remember this time last year when a lot of people on here were suggesting we make trades around getting future picks because "Next year's draft is apparently meant to be loaded" and now it's suddenly a 'shallow' draft and later picks are trash? 😆

    From media reports, looks like 

    1-Eagles  Harley Reid

    2- Suns (Academy match)  Jed Walter

    3-Kangas  Coby Mckercher 

    4- Kangas (Mckay gift compensation 🤬) Daniel Curtin

    5- Hawks  Zane Duursma 

    6- Bulldogs (trade from Suns) Ryley Sanders 

    7- Dees … options left would be … bid on Ethan Read (Suns to match) … then choice of Caddy, Watson, Wilson or O’Sullivan.  Right now I’d be picking Darcy Wilson as a running creative goalkicking mid.  
     

    Love to see how we can grab that Suns pick. 

    Very happy with Windsor. Would have grabbed Darcy Wilson ahead of the Kolt but can see why JT opted for the Kolt.  Got something about him.  Just needs the year to develop his footy more.  
     

    Class of 23 is very strong.  Class of 24 is as good or better in my view.

    Good list.

    I’d definitely be recommending these guys at later 2nd/3rd BUY orders … Hardeman at 30 (steal) , Freijah at 32 (bargain) George Stevens at 39 (slider) and Archie Roberts at 47 (call his number quickly). 

    Joel Freijah having an excellent year at the dogs. Pick 45 last year !! 29 possessions v Kangas in his 11th game. Was tipped to be top 15 at start of 2023 however somehow dropped after a solid 2023.  Was strange that he was overlooked all the way until picked at 45. Recruiters must have lost his draft notes 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

    Logan Morris is a very special player imv … best available key forward in the draft  

    playing style?  Think Nick Larkey type 

    Good lead  Good mark  Good kick  Solidly built 

    Dees /JT unfortunately are unlikely to consider given we have JVR Jefferson and converting Petty to a key forward.  If we’d not picked Jefferson last year, I’d be putting Morris on the top 6-7 players on JTs list for the 2023 draft

    No surprise at all to see Logan Morris play well in today’s GF for Lions.  In last years under 18s, I thought he showed talent as a natural forward.  Good mark.  Good kick.  Bit of natural aggression.  Oh well!!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
