2022 Mid Season Draft
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
Is that the Dandy kid with dreads? I wrote something about him in the draft thread, didn’t know he was eligible.
Jai Culley- Big raw onballer beast. 191 cm. Could be huge after a couple of seasons in the gym. Dreadlocks. Looks like he is making it up at as he goes and not entirely sure what he is going to do next but he works hard. And then the next minute does something super classy. Gets to a lot of contests. Was smart with the ball. Quick hands. Good in tight. Pace? Not sure.
After the last 2 years, I assume we will see this sort of thing fairly regularly over the next couple of years.
Would pay for us to carry a list spot or 2 to pick up an SSP and mid season draftee each year.
In other words hold over the 4th round picks and look at these 19-22yo playing around the traps
Good thinking 99 , best thing about mid season is coz most clubs don’t elect to use it , you’re getting atop 10 selection
Bad thing is that your selecting from the left overs n dodgy bits that weren't rated in the important drafts.
Good thing is that you can pick n chose from players that have had half a season of footy to properly show their abilities, plus there's always players that mature a bit slower than some and you can find players that are capable of being solid core players for years to come with minimum development. Just like Lamblett or Foosh if you pick right.
Don't complicate things H.
The AFL struggle with those types of ideas.
P.s who's killing it in our 2's??
Will be in Essendon jumper by round 13
Interestingly Jake Florenca from WA has been added to the list of eligible players for the MSD. He played a game for the Eagles a few weeks ago as a topup player. If he gets drafted by a different club and plays a game with them he,ll be the first player since Ian McMullen 30 years ago to play for 2 clubs in the same season.
