Draft prospects 2019
- Thread starter deedee
- Start date
Brando would be 2nd round compensation IMO, anyway without Bullus I am just in the hands of the Phantom Draft boys and the Bio's they put out
, the first being Callum Twomey's.With Balta now being groomed as a key defender, (he is about 196cm), do people still believe a tall defender is priority no 1?
Our 1st pick without trading up the draft order will be in the 15-20 range.
Based on Callum Twomey's July Phantom Draft link below:
Cal Twomey's 2019 Phantom Form Guide: Post U18 Champs - AFL.com.au
AFL.com.au's draft guru ranks the young talent in the wake of the U18 Champs
The best key defender in draft is the 195cm Fisher McAsey but is predicted to go in top 10.
195cm 74kg Josh Worrell Twomey has going at 11 has played back/wing and forward, (seems more of a hybrid type).
These are unlikely to be available at our pick.
So do we go best available talent, (i would), or go for needs which is someone, that maybe in time, can play on the monster 200cm forwards? If the latter we might have to reach for a project player with our 1st pick which is always fraught with danger, (McBean comes to mind, not a 1srt round pick but you know what i mean).
That player could be Sam De Koning which Cal has rated pick 24 in his top 30, he is 200cm and 85kg
Early doors but let the discussions begin.
Did I say I am going to miss Bullus

The underage kid from WA withe the hyphenated surname looks the goods in the backline, ineligible this year though
Denver Grainger-Barass, one to keep an eye on
McAsey must be our priority. Trade down into a lower pick.
Has wonderful judgement in the air and strong body positioning. Not sure on his athletic traits but looked good intercepting and running off his man a couple of times
If the Ignore Button had of been alive and well last year Bully would still be here, a shame some idiots spoilt it for the rest
Bully had some strong personal opinions. Not everyone agreed.
Not sure calling them idiots is really fair.
He’s certainly very informed and indeed missed.

Of course I am not calling everyone who disagreed with him an idiot that would be ridiculous, there would be no need for a Forum if everyone agreed and there was no room for robust debate. Personal attacks, (at least in Bullies eyes), is another matter.
Well, feel free to let him know that the forums have an ignore function. Shame that if someone got personal that lead to a good contributor to disappear.
I'm certainly missing Bully, he put in an enormous amount of time and effort into providing us an insight into prospective players.
This time last year there were 10 pages on the upcoming draft, this year there's 3 pages with very little content.
Come back Bully.

Thanks. A quick google search had him at 186, but it must be old. My mistake.

From AFL DRAFTCENTRAL
#36 Denver Grainger-Barras
The bottom-ager was excellent in defence for the Sandgropers, often thwarting many of Vic Country’s attacking forays. Stationed at centre half-back and opposed to Elijah Hollands, Grainger-Barras accumulated 13 possessions and took eight marks, while Hollands gathered 14 possessions but failed to kick a goal.
Denver Grainger-Barras
Another bottom-age tall who will hold the West Australian side in good stead for next year, he has some neat defensive and offensive attributes. He killed a contest at half-back with a great spoil across the line, and proceeded to be an intercepting defender throughout the game, saving a number of dangerous forward entries by dropping into the hole. Most importantly, he remained composed under pressure and looks like a promising prospect for next year, pushing up the ground to kick inside 50 at one stage late in the game.
the spell checker is red-hot now. Im having to go back and edit just about every time to correct spell checks. I wonder can one turn it off?
haven't watched any 18 champs, but I should have a pretty comprehensive report of the 15's in a couple of week
