Preview 2022 draft prospects

[Fat Jesus]

Don't you laugh fat messiah, if it wasn't for your love of chips and coke chasers, you could be classed as athletically challenged

When people say I have a big gut I tell them it's all sperm. Being an Alpha male the chicks dig it.

 

[KJpie]

Maybe Pick 51 or more likely rookie pick if we open a spot

Draft prospect: Max Knobel

He looks good but needs the fat diet as well. Skinny like Coxy

He's no Brutus Beefcake, started the year @ 204cm & 86kg and last checked in @ 206cm and 91kg.

Knobel was widely regarded as the standout ruck behind South Australia’s Harry Barnett at the championships, with the All-Australian Croweater admitting "Knobel was his toughest opponent".

"Knobel has 'it' and is one who, with the right development could be a valuable pickup late in the draft. Knobel is a player with serious potential".

STRENGTHS:

• Ruck nous
• Marking
• Inside 50 presence
• Versatility

Oh OK. Not bad at all.
Thanks for sharing KJ. Looks a smoky

Mate I owe you, sorry for the Busslinger outing.
Just realised you could probably return the favour since you went first and we would be back to square one.

I was surprised when Jefferson compared himself to Ben & Max King as a "big lead up forward".
There are some playing trait similarities, however he needs to grow another 8cm & put on 10kg's to compare to the King twins in their draft year

Jefferson: Height: 194cm Weight: 76kg Vr's King, Height: 202cm Weight: 86kg

In all honesty, Max King rarely leads up forward. Just ask Saints supporters.

No problem at all brother all good fun. I'm not vindictive

Just hanging out to see who we get. I have no idea on the young ones.
Apart from Nicky D last year, awfully hard to pick at 16 this draft.
Convinced someone will be overlooked though...
Guessing 40 players or so will surprise people after saying that after the first 10 picks the draft has no talent.

Australia is a big place. Surely 50 good young players in the country.

I have seen zero from him so far.

 

[KinderSmock]

Just on the supposed attitude problems of Phillipou, is it a genuine problem or is it more of a Laverde type of problem? Which team does he support?

Think it's a genuine problem. Hine is not keen on him (apparently) but that's a BigFooty rumour so take it with a grain of salt. Phillipou is a Port supporter. Could he be another JHF?

76kg is a concern at that height.

 

[RobJD]

Not sure I have the concept right, let me know if I need to change something.
1, Nominate: Bid on Ashcroft, then nominate Cadman when Ashcroft bid is matched by the Bears
2, Negate other persons pick: Sorry Fat Jesus, I'll negate Jedd Busslinger as "Realistic Chance"
3, Adding to the list of In a heartbeat but wont be there: Add Jedd Busslinger (Best defender in the Draft) if 2 picks permitted here please add Oliver Hollands

Realistic chance: Elijah Hewett

Thanks KJpie - you nailed it, I'm not planning on maintaining a most popular top 10, so I'll leave the Cadman/Ashcroft order as it is unless there's popular demand for a most popular Top 10 - so the Busslinger (thx for the spelling correction) nomination by Fat Jesus is cancelled (he still stays on the Realistic Change list, just loses the vote and can come back in if someone else nominates him). Busslinger and Hollands are now in the In a Heartbeat (but will be taken earlier) list and Elijah Hewett joins Matthew Jefferson as the Poster's nomination for the player we'll get with our first pick in the draft

	In a heartbeat	Realistic Candidates	Votes
1	Will Ashcroft	Matthew Jefferson	1​
2	George Wardlaw	Elijah Hewett	1​
3	Elijah Tsatsas
4	Harry Sheezel
5	Aaron Cadman	Jedd Busslinger	0​
6	Bailey Humphrey
7	Jhye Clark	Henry Hustwaite
8	Reuben Ginbey	Lewis Hayes
9	Mattaes Phillipou	Edward Allen
10	Cameron McKenzie	Josh Weddle
11	Jedd Busslinger	Ollie Hotton
12	Oliver Hollands	Jacob Konstanty
	Jaspa Fletcher	Brayden George
	Alwyn Davey Jnr	Lachie Cowan

Yeah, no skinny Cox, girth is where it's at.

 

[manicpie]

76kg is a concern at that height.

He plays like an undersized B.Brown. but that's just my opinion, and for my own safety, that's all I'm going to say about him, lol. However, he has a heap of ability but he will need at least 2 or 3 solid pre seasons before he becomes a regular, I wouldn't complain if slipped through to us as long as we are able to be patient with him

 

[manicpie]

I can't stop watching Darcy Jones highlights, he really gives me shivering vibes, would love him running through our midfield eventually

 

[dardy33]

Not pick 16 but if he is there for our second pick I'm all in favour

 

[adammania9]

Honestly I’d take Jones at 16. Kid is special

 

[Bussie]

Maybe Pick 51 or more likely rookie pick if we open a spot

Any relation to Trent Knobel from the lions? I've looked, but not that hard..
edit** Looked harder, Max is Trent's son.
206cm, 91kg. Looks good from the video.

I just get concerned his body type is like a tall WHE, Stephenson etc.

Could be, but if by miracle he got to our pick, we're no Nth

 

[manicpie]

You and me both mate

 

[KJpie]

I just get concerned his body type is like a tall WHE, Stephenson etc.

I see him as a sometimes rangy, awkward Ben Brown type as manicpie eluded too, but with slightly better skills & being better below his knees
