2021 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Rfc4Ever
- Start date
You would hope this is standard practice every 6 months on every draft from 5 years ago.
Where is wonder boy?
Hasn’t played seniors or Magoos this year as far as I know.
Injured?
Nah didn't mate. Had a bit on.
Looks like he turned it on?
He's gunna be some player. Game changer.
He was super impressive Jack.
We have someone very similar in our own backyard call Mutaz. Might not be Andrew’s quality but he has been mighty impressive in the VFL.
He was incredible, Bryan. Very much in control. Dogwick has him firing already.
That was some breakout, Smoker. It was surprising how quickly he emerged.
We might be able to pick up El Nour in the MSD. If he lasts to our pick, goddammit.
Young Mac was touted as a top 5 pick so no surprise he's stepping up to the mark early days this year. Not 100% sure but didn't Muttley nominate for last years mid season draft?? Muttley's what 23 years old so he's approaching the age bracket where most other clubs won't even consider him, probably only an elevation through his VFL side to AFL. Enjoy watching him play at VFL level, wouldn't mind if he gets a look in at senior level, also don't mind watching Yassine playing at VFL level so far. There's another bloke who can move at about 100mph across the paddock n surprise the oppo.
For a long time, there’s been a number of people on PRE praising St Kilda for their 2021 Draft class and picks in the years before and after.
So, just exactly how good has Chris Toce been ?
Whilst it’s a bit early to make calls on the likes of Wilson and one or two others, I’m not sure if Toce and his selections since 2019 (when I believe he became National Recruiting Manager) have been anything special.
Think a few people are overrating the players, and with it, Toce’s performance. Personally, need more convincing on Toce and some of the players he's selected for St.Kilda.

He started in 2015 with them. He worked in SA for a while. State Head of Recruiting for Victoria and Allies for a few years, then National Manager for 2022 and 2023, yes.
So let’s say input until 2021, and full control 2022 and 2023.
I couldve told you the night they drafted Ward.
Typical 'comes from a good school and is an outstanding kid'
Pity he is an average footballer.
You need a kid that failed HSC or dropped out of school at year 9 and played for the seniors when he was only 15.
And has an angry edge.
Loves body contact.

Is anyone confident that Mitchell knows what he’s doing with that club, their game plan and their entire list (not just Ward and Butler) at the moment though ?
I heard him on FC the other week and he was speaking absolute gobbledygook. Sounded like a drunk Malthouse at the end of his career. Absolute waffling.
No but don't tell them. They've have plenty of success (12 flags in my lifetime) and are due a couple of decades in the wilderness.
Hawthorn is in a world of hurt they've really got not much to go forward with. unlike Norf.
Mitchell is going to need to find a hat with some rabbits in it. That said so is Yze.

I don’t think it’s that bad. But Mitchell projects as a problem. Even my old girl’s brother and family who are avid Hawthorn fans can’t stand him - reckon he’s a conceited smart arse. They’ve met him many times and predicted he’d be a disaster when he was appointed.
