Draft Review 2019 - Revisit the 2019 AFL Draft

Can someone explain why Adelaide went for McAsey that early? Really ****ed that up given the talent they could have picked up.

Fwiw they could have gone as far as Bergman, Weightman and been better off. But to miss Serong, Young, Henry, Green, Flanders and Pickett from Woodville is damning.

Certainly in hindsight it is an error.

At the time I don't remember it being considered a reach.

Off u18 performance, he was the best tall in it after Jackson. His big issue (besides lack of pace, which isn’t necessarily a huge issue if you sit on gorilla forwards) was in his head.

So with respect to Adelaide just a little unlucky in this case? Or could they have identified this in the interviews.

Fyfe is washed mate, “top shelf”

Yeah just a coincidence we’ve gone from being destroyed at center clearance last year to smashing teams around the ball again with Fyfe back at the coalface.

Just because he doesn’t take hangers and do the flash stuff anymore he’s still one touch & sees the game faster than others in tight.

Also not a coincidence Serong is racking up career best numbers and Young getting to work on the outside with Fyfe doing the heavy lifting of getting first hands.

Fyfe playing the Mundy role of 2022.
It’s beautiful
 
I'm going to be that annoying Freo supporter and am curious what anyone who had Serong a long way off Anderson and Green are thinking now. Looks like only something horrible is going to keep him out of his second AA which means everyone is still chasing him.

Needs to kick a goal here and there but the game now looks incredibly easy to him and he is taking the piss most weeks racking up clearances at will. The debate on who is the best mid of this draft will hopefully go on for 50 years but someone is going to have to be one hell of a player to be clearly ahead of Serong

He is every bit as good as the other mids imo. But no better, I think you can raffle all of Worner, Green, Serong, Anderson and Rowell. It comes down to personal choice, what attributes you like most . As a Giant I obviously love Green and have him as my choice.
There was some Freo fans saying that if you didn't have him first you don't know footy. Imo it is no where near that clear cut.That led to people being too harsh the other way.
I do not subscribe to people saying that Jackson is the best of the class which I have heard others say.

I still have Jackson with the highest ceiling because his good games are special but he's all over the place at the moment. Dont know what's happened following those first two games this year.

There were definitely some saying Serong is a long way off Anderson and others and scoffing at Freo fans saying otherwise. It's definitely very hard to separate those names though and I'll almost accept any of them first though I think Green and Serong deserve top top billing at the moment.

He clearly is, doesn't mean the others are far behind but there is a clear #1 as it stands, every time the others go to another level so does Serong.
