Wilmot a first round pick, have Ah Chee or prior who we can throw down there as well, carter michael too as well I guess. Not my biggest position of need with how well Kiddy is playing.

Genuine mids and developmental kpps probably more important for us to consider.

If Ashcroft and Fletcher nominate us, I don’t see mids as a priority. Especially if Levi Ashcroft continues to develop, as a potential 2024 draftee.

Certainly a KPP if there are any left at the end of the draft.

2023 we might only look at two national draft picks.

All the focus has been on Ashcroft but what about Fletcher, is he a given

Yes.

 

[T Rick]

Yes.

If Fletcher was not a F/S would we be still keen to draft him?

 

[Scubaveg]

Can't wait for Will to join us next year.

Geez I wish I was confident like you Nunez

He will be a Lion friends. Let's just worry about how we fit he and Dev into our team next year.

If your right, the second bit is easy.

Yes.

Awkward if Fletcher nominates us before Will does…

Well he'd still be an academy kid so we'd still be getting him cheap.

Tbh if he doesn't nominate us I might join BRAB and start supporting Flagmantle.

As others have said a KPP although we have 3 ruck/forwards now not sure how many young talls you can have.
The club might see Henry Smith more a forward/ruck and a KPP type as well.
Ruck wise Lane been moving up nicely if we drop Fort back we have depth.

Not an easy answer.

If we didn’t have Ashcroft or Fletcher as father sons, we wouldn’t have a chance at Ashcroft, as he’s a consensus top 2 draftee.

With our lack of KPP depth, we’d likely have prioritised a KPP at our first pick.

Over the past two years, there have been a few similar players to Fletcher in the draft (Jake Bowey, pick 21 2020) (Zac Taylor, pick 44 2021) who were rated similarly to Fletcher as an early second round pick by draft watchers, but where they went varied wildly.

Agreed, I don’t think our key position depth is as bad as it sometimes seems, it is still our weakest area of depth though. We really don’t have a young genuine key forward that kicks goals consistently, we also don’t really have any key defenders outside of Payne who many think should be best 22 anyways.

Yes I agree.. With Buzza we playing 4 Ruck/Forwards as talls so leaves the back line with Payne then Lester playing tall and Arnold helping out the last couple of years basically a permanent top up.
Forward we have 4 ruck/forwards maybe we hope a couple become more a forward who can ruck.

What draft pick was H.Smith? Don't remember him at all when we drafted him so he must have been late. Usually good forwards come early in the draft, however he could still be a diamond in the rough. In saying that, l don't think he has kicked many goals at all since we drafted him.

Pick 48 we selected Henry Smith in 2020, with Harry Sharp being selected at Pick 43 for us as well.

big guys are such a mix bag some come on and others do not, very hard to tell when they are young.
If not a top pick.
Pretty sure I read he was still growing last year.

Look at say the 2016 draft so 6 years as a big guy in AFL. A lot are playing. Tom Stewart still there pick 40.
A lot from pick end of 30's to 40's are talls.
Battle, Darcy Cameron, Tom Stewart, Ratugolea, Young, Himmelberg, Brennan Cox and Macreadie (de listed)

Better than Flagbane.

If Brandon Leary doesn't get drafted he should do a Callow/Menzie and go to SA. He is pretty talented!
