List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft

[59Stanley]

The most glaring need we have is midfield class. Just 2 players to have speed, evasiveness and elite disposal.
The most demoralising thing is to watch our current mids plod along and butcher the ball.

Smillie, Hotton & actually playing Lalor in the mids before the game is dead & buried will make a difference eventually

Agree. The games gone past midfielders that lack pace. Most teams play 1 at centre bounce. We play 3.

The worst thing we could do this year is take a ruck at #1. I've read a few suggest Louis Emmett. He's a Tim English clone, good player but not worthy of a top pick imo.

 

[cairo tiger]

we need skill! disposal skill! get the ball hit targets. it’s a fair dinkhum raffle if dow ross tarantula and hopper hit targets.

No, he's absolutely not. Emmett loves the physical stuff. More like Luke Jackson, but even more like a 200cm Jarryd Roughead.

Get your head around it, RFC loves him.

Up against CDT later today.

Speaking of which, 1 should be allowed to play for VC this year.

Lalor's fitness is bordering relton roberts levels

He definitely doesn't have Jackson's athleticism.

Has there been a ruck taken in the first 3 picks of a draft that has ever work out?

 

[Le RickyBobby]

I'm at the ground today. Looking forward to it

That will be an interesting watch. Good battle in the Futres game with Emmett probably shading it.

They can change ruck/FF for Metro, it'll be their role at AFL level.

He definitely doesn't have Jackson's athleticism.

If he doesn't he's not far behind. He'll be a forward/ruck at AFL level.

Runs a sub 6 minute time trial i believe.

Fair call, would just like to have seen them go h2h on the big stage.

That’s insulting

 

[Bird Man]

That’s insulting

his drop of in the second Qtr is very noticeable its like he is still catching up from the blues game

 

[YeOldTiger]

Cody Curtin WA KPP , kicked 8.4 in a colts game on the weekend. Apparently was being double- teamed by the opposition.
Remember him playing as an underage KPD last years u18 carnival. He’s a genuine KPP size , very athletic and hard at it.

Yep he's a beauty. I remember seeing him impress in those games as well. Older brother Dan starting to show his wares at the Crows this season.

 

[Calcium Man]

NicNat.

Kruezer probably would have worked too but for injuries.

But in general I agree, the ruck has to be the clear standout of draft to pick them that early

I think my main issue with investing a top pick into a ruckman is the pay off is 4-5years later and the game changes quickly in that time.

It's a lottery to project 200cm+ players that will develop fully 4-6years after they are drafted.

 

[Barnzy]

Taking a ruck with one of these early picks will set the rebuild back multiple years.

Just not a good idea. 20 years+ of data to back that up

It can work. If we trade say pick 4 for two later first rounders

 

[lizard man]

Could Cumberland be apart of this draft? ….. might he worth a second look

 

[Le RickyBobby]

CDT started unbelievably well.

 

[tigs2010]

Josh Lindsay just missed from 3.5 metres out

 

[tigs2010]

Sam Grlj playing well for Oakleigh.

Feel like Emmett winning the ruck and CDT just doing as he pleases everywhere else.

 

[KrispyKreme]

since when did everyone believe we are getting Harley. I can’t tell ya that probably ain’t the case. I’ve heard squat…

Depends what your definition of winning the ruck is and how much you value it. CDT been best on ground by miles.

Winning the ruck contests. Seems to get all the taps and then everything else CDT is dominating.
