2021 Draft Thread

[toothless]

Hahah WB bid on Fahey as revenge for bidding on Darcy but makes no difference to GWS

 

[zippadeee]

We picked up a small forward that struggles at getting the ball and one of his weakness is his tackling numbers.

 

[caesar]

There's always a slider or two, I think these two will be the steals of the draft.

But we already have the steal of the draft in Sonsie

Clarke averages 17.6 disposals numnuts. Has no problem finding the ball.

Why is it that every post of yours is negative. It gets so boring reading the same crap over and over.

You can't be pissed off with this haul, bearing in mind 2 of our picks were at one stage regarded as Top 5 picks.

I think Brown, Sonsie and Clarke will play some AFL footy in 2022.

Top 5 picks when Vic was still playing footy.
They only slid down the media order when vic stopped and other states played matches/tested.
So its not because their footy wasn't good

Clarke played his best game against Vic Metro and is all class. Good pick Zippa

Exactly. I reckon we'll see how good those 2 in particular are over the next 10 years. Plenty of upside with all 5 picks.

 

[Midsy]

Should have been 62 top 10 picks according to Montagna and Sheehan

 

[zippadeee]

3 out of the top 20 ranked kids.
Don't tell David king Champion data

 

[craig]

You be outraged, I'll be happy. Play to our strengths.

pay that

 

[Redford]

Surely Draper finally goes to the Crows here at 44 ?

You'd think so wouldn't you

 

[spook]

Bugger, Jones gone. Great pick Dogs.

 

[tigerdell]

I'm way more comfortable with the Banks pick, it's more about pick 17, I think that should have been Johnson/Goater.

Agreed.
Picking Johnson wouldve been ridiculously unbelievable.
Gibcus Johnson Sonsie Banks Clark
That covers the whole ground, is balanced and complementary, and is overflowing with upside.
Not to be

 

[Smoking Aces]

1 type which i was hoping for was a big inside mid that really was not there at our later picks
banks & Clarke were a surprise but im happy with the first 3 picks
Gibcus , Brown & Sonsie

Overall pretty happy but i would have rather taken Howes than Clarke

Wouldnt mind picking Ned Long as a Rookie

That's A+ from me, as it stands it's a B, that's because it's a midfielder short.

Would have fitted into last seasons team so well. However we have got to give the kid a chance to see what he has and hopefully he will surprise us

 

[craig]

Cumberland apparently already back on main list. I think we only have 1 list spot remaining which is for Biggie unless someone else comes in and takes him first.

Hopefully they do and we get Ronnie for Ezy and Spook

 

[UKTiger]

This years picks seems to indicate to me the club are looking at Jack's successor from within, maybe already within the team or on the fringes. Looking forward to the preseason to see

 

[Harry]

We needed some goal kicking med smalls, so good to get sonz and jud
