Note the year, 2020

Covid made it tough for kids and scouts but itโ€™s still poor considering thatย 

Yep, there was always a high degree of uncertainty on the talent pool due to the loss of underage footy in that period.

ย 

Hope Dees retain list spots to get 4 draftees in this years pool. Super deep and lots of ready to go young talent. Given we have 5&9 and have purged other picks, our two later picks might be in the deep 60s. ย But thereโ€™s still talent. ย 
ย 

An example is in SA. ย Woodville-West Torrens U18 captain Jett Hasting was very good in the SA colts grand final (under 18s). Best on ground. ย  I saw him also in the National championships and his run and carry and burst gave him similarities to the Trent Rivers. Endurance is good. ย Won the SA state coming2km time trial in 6min29secs. Skills are good. Has the pace and composure to be a AFL footballer imv. Probably a rookie pick but shows the quality late in the draft pool.ย 

If the phantom form guide is anything to go by we will be getting Lalor and Tauru. Everybody happy with that?

Ecstatic. Have zero expectation that we'll get both.

Really hoping Lalor gets to our pick.

This new rule has really worked out great for us.

Edited by 2021

Is there a decent chance that Jagga Smith slides to 5? Tigers are into Lalor, North don't need a mid, Carlton into FOS, Adelaide...could do anything but might look at the local in Draper.

Hope so, he has PIZAZZ!

This would be wonderful but I doubt it happens. North don't need a mid yes but they're not going to reach to get someone based on positional need. While its an even draft the top 6 mids are a tier above. You generally always pick best available. Jagga is pretty versatile and might start off playing on a flank for North.

But wouldn't it be great if North picked FOS. I am very annoyed Carlton has weaseled their way into pick 3 so now I'm hoping they don't get their man.ย 

ย 


Dees should hold at 5 & 9

at 5, itโ€™s about who slides, it should be either Lalor, Langford, Oโ€™Sullivan, Smith or Draper.

Tigers at 1 have to choose between Smith, Lalor or Langford.ย 

I think Blues will want Oโ€™Sullivan and Crows will grab Draper.

So itโ€™s probably out of Smith, Lalor or Langford option. All have excellent futures ahead with exceptional talent.ย 

at 9, hope for either Lindsay, Travaglia or Tauru. Each are also very special youngsters with definite AFL quality futures. ย Each would also be ready for AFL in 2025.ย 

Josh Smillie is an absolute wildcard for me. ย At start of the year, he was a possible number 1. ย His form was generally very good and he dominated Coates league footy. But his championships games were average and I think clubs saw his defensive skills as lacking. ย But his talent is undeniable. ย 194cms big and strong and good burst across first 5 metres. Kicks it 50-60 metres easily. ย His centre clearance work is Cripps like. ย Whoever gets him and then puts the necessary extra physical conditioning into him, could get an absolute steal and a future great. ย ย

The 2024 draft looks to be considerably better than the 2020 one

Poor Bombersย

Looks a lot better than the top 10 of '03 draft when we had two picks in the top 5!
ย 

ย 

I cant do the math but if North want Houston is there any acceptable deal that gets us pick 2 with a workable second pick?

I feel like Brock got the most out of himself.ย  But always wondered what Col would have been if he entered a better system - I reckon he could have been Petracca level (with dedication, development and injury luck)

Sylvia had the athleticism and talent to be anything!ย 
Brock probably born ten years too late and a string of ankle and foot injuries didn't really help.

Anyone watched Berry closely?

He's a star imo. Would be very happy with him at 9. Has speed, not afraid of the contest and could easily slot into the midfield in time.

I was impressed too.

We wanted Wiz last year, murmurs re Kako this year (granted that may just have been to pry P9 from Essendon)

Is Berry next best?

Next best small forward, whether he's the next best player at 9 is another question.

@dazzledavey36ย might have some insights into Berry.

Smilie's agility and movement is fantastic for a guy his size

ย 


I've been a big Langford fan, but Jeez I'm slowly coming around to Smillie.

Taj Hotton is really interesting given he's missed so much footy with injury, but when he has played he's looked incredible.

I think he's one that would definitely be top 10, if not top 5 if not for his injury, but likely to slide into the teens instead, could be a bargain pick up.ย

What do you reckon about some of the knocks on him Daz? He seems to have all the physical attributes you could ask for but some questioning his work rate and ability to impose himself in the contestย

Much prefer Langfordโ€™s boot over Smilieโ€™s

smilie has a good kick but can just jam it on the boot and cough it up when under pressure .

very agile and has a frame ย that will grow to become beast like in years to come .

ย 

canโ€™t wait to see who we end up with.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
