Max fletcher is not good enough imo

Seen him play at pegs?

 

[andleanback]

Depending on how they perform next year I imagine we will be using all of those later pick on matching for Brand and any other NGA/FS kids (Rioli and Max Fletcher)?

Rioli and fletcher and long way off currently

Seen him play at pegs?

Yep. He’s scared of the ball

Interesting article saying that the possibility of trading players who have just been drafted whilst the draft is still going.
Limit applies that says a drafted player can only be traded once.

Also floated a 'Consent list' where listed players who want to get traded and clubs are open to trading who didn't move via trade week (mentions Laverde as an example) can be traded mid draft as well.

I am open to it but I would like a bit of time for Clubs to perfect (or at least hone) their live pick trading skills and strategies.

But when has the opinion of the fan mattered in the AFLs drive to become the next NFL/NBA

I wish the AFL would stop chasing gimmicks to try and boost the profile of the draft

Another highly touted prospect that will have a difficult decision to make this year

Cricket Victoria are pretty confident. Fun fact, his uncle Geoff played 3 games for us in the late 80's

His other uncle is Dale Weightman.

This makes him a cousin of Leigh Colbert too.

Really sucks for the kid, but could now come into the hitting zone for essendon if we lose Joey.

Something surreal reading that list and looking at those faces. How do they rate and when are they eligible to be drafted?

 

[VelvetSledge]

Josh Misiti alongside Smokin Joe. Come a long way since being the little fat ranga kid.


And Tex Wanganeen!

 

[Oakleigh Roo]

Early days obviously but this is a player that Essendon have already shown a strong interest in already.
If you lose Daniher this year you are a big chance to get him with either a pick Sydney trade you or even move up and package them if Necessary.
He’s an extremely athletic KPF who unfortunately tore his ACL while playing senior SANFL footy at 15 in 2018. Has done a fantastic job with his rehab and is already back to full training.

Jack Darling 2.0

Hope he gets a good run with injuries, also has strong leadership traits.

 

[eDPS]

Updated rankings, liking the depth more than last year especially for talls

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Has DGB played forward ever? Reminds me a little of Naughton's under age days. Attacks the ball in flight very similarly.

Played a little bit for swan districts as a 16 year old but struggled to have a big impact, reads the play better down back.
