Preview 2022 draft prospects

[Jen2310]

Port be tanking for Lemmy

Thats the least of their issues.

 

[Matt_352]

I was pretty down on us pre-season but I reckon I have higher hopes than a lot of you guys now. Just looking at our fixture which is very kind, unless we get slaughtered by injuries I see us finishing on the fringes of the 8. There's a lot of middling teams out there which I think we can cover. So we could be looking at a Pick 8, 9 or 10. In that case would you be comfortable involving a future first to trade up to secure a key forward?

No. Like Others have said there should be a good KPF prospect around that mark. KPF is our biggest hole but we also need an inside beast and probably another KPD too

Don't think so, but he is a Charger, and we love us some Chargers.

 

[35Daicos]

He'll be in the AFL Academy, along with the rest of the country's most highly rated juniors, but not a member of our NGA (Next Generation Academy).

Nope. Only way to get him at this point is the #1 pick

 

[dinderman]

Perhaps it's for the best, not many of our supporters will be able to pronounce his name.

Haha.
The T is silent. I watched a video where he cleared it up
Like sadas.

It looks like sat on arse in my head.

We have some guns on our list who will be too old when a KPF draftee is ready to impact in 3-4 years.
So getting an established KPF makes more sense IMO.

Otherwise we’ll have a fwd in 3-4years with holes all over the field because our guns have retired or past it.
Not sure we can develop the next, lot of AA’s like Howe, Moore, JDG, Sidey, Pendles, Grundy, Adams in that time.

Happy to trade a future first if it got us a second top 10 pick this year
Not just to trade up an existing pick though

By the end of the year they'll have to make a decision about whether to go for it with the current group and look to immediately fill holes, or whether to be patient and draft best available, as there will be holes everywhere before you'd realistically expect draftees to fill current holes.

That sort of mindset is why our key position stocks are so poor currently
Need to start fixing it now

Not disagreeing just think an established KPF is a better option - for the reasons I mentioned and because they’re a known quantity, as opposed to the hit and miss of the draft for KPF.

I agree, but where are we getting this established forward from?

Which established KPF? There aren't many options around.

 

[loki04]

Tom Scully just kicked another 7 goals last night
Along with 16 disposals. 15 of those were kicks.

Has kicked 22 goals in 4 games. Averages 5.5 a game

Gee he is putting some bloody good numbers up even if it is u18s.

 

[loki04]

Seems to be a lot of KPF forward prospects so far. Which means we will somehow draft a flanker

Hine doesn't know what to look for in KPF so refuses to draft them. Joke kinda maybe

 

[loki04]

It's a shithouse way to view it anyway and is why our club has not had a decent kpf since cloke and the weaknesses it brings to team and game plan that comes with it.

There is a reason the dogs moved away from a small fwdline as soon as rocket moved on, ditto Richmond as soon as they could get a foil for Reiwoldt they did it one they drafted, one traded in.

 

[loki04]

Come on, you know our draft team. There’s no chance they’ll draft a key position player the excuse will be that they were picking the next best available player and that was a mid of average size, no speed or skill but had some good numbers in the combine.

It's become quite ridiculous really.

 

[loki04]

A pick around that area should be enough to secure a decent key forward in this draft. Lemmey and Keeler aren’t the only two highly rated talls.
And tbh, trading an extra first to secure a draft prospect is a dangerous strategy. Schache was pick 2, and in the same draft McKay went at 10 and Curnow at 12.

Exactly, you don't trade an extra first to move up the order do it to secure a 2nd KPP.

Double up.

Nah not to trade up but I 100% would trade a future first into the top 10 for another pick in this draft.

2 x KPP in top 10 should be the aim.

I'd then look to trade with Brisbane our 3rd rounders for their 1st rounder (to be used on Ashcroft bid) . Giving us another selection inside or around 20 mark on best available.

There is quite a few options on the board in terms of kpp this draft.

North Adelaide - SANFL

sanfl.com.au

There are quite a few prospects showing a bit this year Keeler might not go on with it and another might.

There is about 8 to10 around the country to watch this draft from what I've read.

 

[loki04]

Who is our draft team that has a track record of doing this?

Probably the one who hasn't spent a first rounder on a non FS KPF since Ben Reid in 06.

Sure, but our list management seems to have moved onto a totally different philosophy than Hine.
