2021 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Rfc4Ever
- Start date
Thinking it's time to hit the draft as hard as possible this year. Whether it's complacency or simply old age n tired legs, perhaps even both. We're looking a grumpy shadow of our former selves this year. Time to ramp up the regeneration of the playing list.
Hey Scoop what’s your thoughts on Ned Long?
11. Ned Long
A goalkicking midfielder with seven goals to his name through three games, Ned Long has been one of the early standouts in the NAB League. While Long is damaging forward of centre, and hits the scoreboard at will, he's equally capable through the midfield as a strong contested ball winner and tackler. At 192cm, Long is one of this year's best tall midfielders.
AFL Draft Power Rankings: Daicos pulling away from chasing pack
ESPN.com.au's AFL Draft expert Chris Doerre has revealed his AFL Draft Power Rankings for the month of June, with young Nick Daicos beginning to put a gap on his rivals.
anyone else watch Vic Metro V Vic Country u17 today? (2022 draft)
Brisbane will have to pay first round for Will Ashcroft. Blue Chip.
I liked what I saw of Kye Windsor and George Wardlow (VM) from a Richmond POV.
outside the obvious, I'm a fan of bottom age Nick Watson (VM - 2023).
Been watching him for a few years and Footy IQ off the charts. Think Jack Reiwoldt in Steven Milnes body with Clayton Olivers head
I'll be watching the u17 champs on the GC next week closely and will report

My son played against Nick Watson. Actually played on him. Kid oozes class. at Under 14 level he could kick 50 off both feet.
he'd be very hard to play on.
never stands still, slippery and cunning. Huge work rate.
hes always in the right spot, even when the ball isnt.
for some reason i cant quite explain, he strikes me as a collingwood player.
At junior level he played everywhere from half back to half forward to midfield. He just runs and has a monster of a kick. Slippery customer. Plays for East Ringwood. Most down that way look like Collingwood supporters!
He and family big Colonwood followers; think we did the "noice" thing and let them take him. [And you know where nice guys can end up].
Whatever; he's coming on fast. He kicked a great goal previous match bursting through a pack. He seems smart, creative and hard at it. Noticed him throw Duckwood out of the way this latest match.
Really wondering what Lions are doing in their program. So many big, strong bodies built up for midfield contested work e.g. compare Robertson and Dow for development currently. Our kids still look wasted.
All this makes a powerful case for "We would be crazy to lose CCJ!!" With Jack fading (fast in Aints game; cannot kick any more!) and Lynch injury suspect, it's crucial to sign CCJ.
Besides, why on Earth would he want to take his career to GCS? Only plausible reason is to join with a couple of good RFC boys already there.
I cracked the sads when we didn't pick Robertson. Nothing wrong with wanting to get rated highly.
He read as the Parker pick, been the best mid for so many junior years the recruiters get complacent and he is overlooked.
Has the Cotch type competitiveness. Add a chip about not being drafted first round.
Lets hope TDow comes on, no doubt our man will be a ripper
Sonsie looks good but Horne looks better.
I don't care if we only take one kid this year as long as its Horne.
We have zero chance of getting a Pick 1 or 2. Whats the expected range for Sonsie?
Brisbane and Dogs therefore could be trade options for taking a few picks higher in the draft or into next year.
Brisbane have quite a few picks, but I doubt they will want 15 and 18 swallowed up with an Ashcroft early bid
3-4, after Horne and Daicos. Matt Roberts from South Adelaide the other in the mix, a bit of Hodge about him for me.
Could this be the Tiger's recruiting team? They are discussing getting the Horn.
