He's on my short list, very good contested mark & reasonably mobile, pity he isn't an inch taller because 196cm will make it tough as a ruckman. I have him in the 30-60 range, I think there will be some takers as he's probably 4th or 5th on the key forward list & there's always a demand for this position. My rough rankings are -
Lemmey has had a poor year, he has looked fumbly at times, not much in the way of physical contact and I don't rate his kicking enough to visualise him as a rebounder, Himmelberg was the template last year but the cracks are showing in 2022. For a latish pick I can see some merit but he'd want to test through the roof at the combine, I certainly don't see him as a new age Barry Hall, he's actually quite a few rungs down from van Rooyen and he went early second round. You'd have to say 3rd round to rookie.
Good shout. Needs to take the coat hangar out of his jumper before he plays.
Lemmey looked elite last year, would’ve went top 10.
Thats not a great example ,his run and jump is elite ,he is a excellent mark just needs to improve his ground game more.
You watched Keelers match against Norwood ,Foster was very good for Norwood ,Foster was good in a losing side.
Lemmey was really underwhelming at the champs ,his effort for someone so highly rated was poor,l wouldn't touch him even with a bummers pick.
Lemmey has been a bit disappointing this year but I’ve watched a number of his SANFL U/18 games and he’s been sort of ok when he’s played at CHB instead of up front. The problem with him and all the other SA KPF’s is they lack intensity and like easy, simple, lead up delivery. They all need to develop a more consistent, tougher contested mark game and ground game as well, including pressure acts.
Broadbent just doesn't say AFL to my eyes. Solid at junior level, has aggression.
Might explain why he’s slipping down the pecking order, was in the mid teens a few months back.
Fosters strength is his marking ,and is a very good contested mark ,you can tell he's a natural forward,but he's another of those kp types who are made to ruck.
Yes, agree with you on Davis, at 21 could probably get him as a rookie.
Don't forget Johnson has had an interrupted year, his breakout game came in the home & away season, has since signed a long term deal with the Dockers. Erasmus was in my list of 4 who stand to become the best player of the draft (excluding the top 2), that list also included Rachele, Johnson & Goater. All these players have shown enough in their debut season to keep the flame flickering.

Would love Rachele but think its very clear that we absolutely nailed it with Gibcus and Sonsie
Saw some comparative stats between the two players and, with no AFL preseason and of course less games, Jacob Bauer is travelling extremely well.Still very keen on Jacob Van Rooyen. 36.12 as a key forward in year one of the VFL. That's super impressive.
Spoke to someone involved with Casey/Melbourne and the Dees see JVR playing a lot of footy next year as a key forward. And there was a push fro him to play this year, quite a few people were bewildered he didn't get a look at AFL.

He's one I would have taken over Brown, I would have been happy with any of Johnson/Goater/van Rooyen in that slot. I think picking a flanker in the top 20 should only be done if there's absolute top shelf kicking - Rich, Hurn, Salem etc. Some obviously believe he's in that category so I'll be keeping an open mind, fingers crossed.Still very keen on Jacob Van Rooyen. 36.12 as a key forward in year one of the VFL.
