@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft I'm biased as a club sponsor but I'd be looking at James Barrat for a KPD. Guy reads and marks the ball in defense akin to McGovern.
Hi Dyl, Richmond fan here, been getting into the draft this year obviously. Now, I've only watched a few youtube clips and your videos so maybe I'm a bit off, but why isn't Tobie Travaglia rated higher?. I love what he does on the field. Plus while he is great at half back I think he projects to be a elite midfielder. Once again that's coming from a guy who knows nothing but a few highlight reels so maybe I'm off. Been enjoying the videos, keep it up!
Hi! Thanks for the comment! I reckon you're spot on with Travaglia! he's a gun and the way he moves for someone pushing 190cm is elite! I don't think he's had enough opportunity in the midfield this season and that is ultimately what has him behind the top guys. He's looking like a real bargain to me though! The other player I have my eye on is Angus Clarke from SA. Similar size and attributes to Travaglia but only averaging around 18 disposals off half back so doesn't jump off the page.
Personally as a Richmond supporter my dream haul would be a Jagga Smith at pick 1 I just love the way he plays, I wouldn’t hate someone like fin O’Sullivan but I just think that we need someone who can get a lot of the ball and can get the ball down the field and maybe a best available key back or small forward
Interesting take on the Swans. The Swans currently have 7 KPDs an it is widely believed that Francis and Arnold won't be offered a new contract making that 5 (Rampe, Melican, McCartin, Snell & Edwards) Snell and Edwards are developing well and could be ready next year if called upon. With Cochran going to be matched on (#35-50) i don't see the Swans drafting a 4th KPD that hasn't debuted yet. Think they are fine in the halfback/wing area and on ball as well given Cleary Sheldrick, Parker and Adams all haven't had major minutes in the heart of the midfield at AFL level this year. KPF they have the regular 3 and then Hamling/Buller so maybe they look at adding someone in that area maybe an undersized key forward that is more mobile. But i think the big area that they don't have anyone is the medium forward aside from Hayward there is no forward between the heights of 194cm and like 182-3cm. Having said all that its the Swans so they are going to bid on 3 F/S / NGA products and then draft some bolter.
Kinnear Beatson needs to go. The last few drafts have been terrible with Vickery and Konstanty not looking like ever playing senior footy, and Gus Sheldrick always injured. Dylan Stephens was a complete bust when we could drafted Serong or Young. He picked The Chad and Juzzy which is his saving grace. Should go after Mitch Owens again … 🎉
@@ma3stro681 He only failed on the 2022 draft and even then Caleb Mitchell could be good and I feel like one of Magor or Vickery will get an extension. Outside of 2022 and failing with Stephens pick there are literally 0 drafts outside of 2022s draft that will not hold a 100 gamer in them and he started at the Swans in 2006. Some years he found 3-4 200 gamers in the same draft
Great video. I think Melbourne should and will target an inside mid with their first pick. Viney 31 next year, question marks over Oliver, the club wants to swing Petracca forward more where possible, Sparrow hasn’t taken the next step, the list has absolutely 0 depth in that area. An insider with some silk and a good kick on him (finally) would work a treat
Yeah that’s fair! I think Rivers has shown enough to be a high level mid, he’s probably a bit of a bonus and potentially Caleb Windsor gets groomed into an inside role. They certainly could still use high level talent there though. I agree on Oliver, which wouldn’t have been on the cards and Sparrow hasn’t done enough. Hard to get games into young guns when you’ve been up the ladder for a while too!
Great work Dylan. Out of interest, is Matt Whitlock a ruckman? Not sure if he can be Gawn's understudy unless he can be a pure ruck which I don't think he can be at 199cm.
@@MrMooremelody yeah, he’s not a pure ruckman at this stage! For VIC Country he’s a KPD, and rotates through the ruck. He genuinely has the skill to play anywhere. He’s about the same height as TDK in his under 18 year. But yeah, you’d probably say at this stage he’s more of a SDK.
It's a great question. Reid, McKercher, Sanders particularly looked above and beyond the quality expected for draftees imo but all for slightly different reasons. Windsor and Wilson have been fantastic but took some time to start finding the footy etc. I expect Jagga Smith to hit the ground running at AFL level, think he can play half back/mid and find the ball, like a McKercher has. To answer the question though, I think McKercher and Sanders are at a similar level to FOS and Jagga. Smillie I think will have a bigger adaptation period because of his size. Maybe More of a Tom Green trajectory.
port have Ollie Lord Tom Scully [204cm] as young tall forwards and Xavier Walsh from WA so not sure they will go for a tall forward,heard ben ainsworth was on there radar and as you said perryman so if they miss on those type players they would try and get something similar through the draft I would think
Yeah, not sure there's a lot of tall forward depth after Lord. Think it's just about getting that forward mix right. The team is stacked for inside mids, interesting where Perryman would play. Maybe across half back? there's also maybe a need for some outside ball users. Bergman has potential but has stagnated a little this year.
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft Think they want perrymann down back,they have will lorenz coming through who is regarded as a very good decision maker and left foot kick but can always use more..they still have high hopes for josh sinn but he is cursed with injuries atm and can't seem to get a good run at it,have 2 small forwards in Tom Anastapolopos and Lachie Charleson coming through and young tall ruckmann in Dante Vinsentini so pick 33 will be interesting on what type of player they pick
@@williampallot6809 hey mate! According to the compensation “secret sauce” the picks can be allocated anywhere inside the first round or the end of first round. I believe they do usually go early first round or end of first round though so you’re probably right based on precedent. If they were to get end of first round, after current compensation picks, it would be pick 21, that feels too low for battle. But top 5 seems too high 😂
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft Biased as a saints supporter but hoping now that contract length is factored in that it's pick 5-6. We are desperate to build a midfield alongside Phillipou. Lalor and another (whichever other falls to our pick Smillie,Smith,Reid etc) would be perfect and what we have been crying out for
The Camporeale twins will both go 30+ now, I suspect the Blues have had a word in their ear and they've switched off for the season. With Carlton's recent poor form I think you'll find that they will try and get 2 picks before they pick the Camporeale's.
Yeah, I don't they will attract a bid inside the top 30, I think they would in other years but this draft is extremely deep! They're both great players at finding the footy but kicking lets them down slightly. Think Carlton will target one of the gun fwds with their first pick!
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft A few things, nobody, including Cal Twomey has either (let's just say Ben) in their top 30. Due to their injuries I don't expect that Carlton will make the finals and I expect them to finish 10th meaning they get pick 9 and 29. Carlton need to find another key defender and more speed/class through the midfield/small forward. I expect that Carlton will look to trade down to around 20 to ensure they get 2 picks before picking up the camporeale's. I expect Richmond will trade all their stars away which will set them up for at least 2 drafts, 3 if they're smart. Given that they could have as many as 9 picks under 30 they will be looking to send picks forward for future drafts. A trade with Carlton for say 21 for 29 and involving Carlton's future second rounder and Richmond's 2025 back end picks which they won't need is on the cards. If your Richmond you can afford to trade 21 given you could have 5 or 6 picks before that. This would give you an extra 2025 2nd rounder using back ended 2025 pick you won't use and you'd still be able to trade forward Carlton's pick 29 for additional pick future picks.
Essendon to go easy does it and do it they did last year with Caddy punch the draft trade picks 15 and 35 get Freo’s 1st pick which will be pick 12 after FS & Academy I highly doubt anyone is gonna pick Kako before that and if they do well fk 😅.
@@shaajithan9706 yeah number one is still really up in the air. I tend to think it will be Smith or FOS. Richmond will definitely be gunning to get a second top 10 pick though. Smillie and Smith would be amazing for them!
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft yeah definitely agree with you. Still too early to tell considering the fact that there are 3-5 players fighting for number 1. My assumption is that Richmond attempt to pick up Jagga due to his existing ties with the club. If we choose to trade Dusty to Gold Coast i reckon we could trade up and acquire both of them.
@@shaajithan9706 👍 I still think there’s a chance that a North or Richmond attempt to split pick 1 and 2. I’ve heard Richmond have a lot of interest in Sam Lalor which is interesting. If they could work out a deal to get Dusty to the Gold Coast and pick up 3 picks in the top 15 I think they’d be happy, even if they missed pick 1.
@@DylanAlexanderFollowsDraft possibly splitting 1 and 2, considering the likes of Will Phillips set to join Richmond.If Baker also decides to leave then we will have even more to work with. I’m still confused why Jagga hasnt been given the accolades of being top 3?
@@shaajithan9706 oh yeah I think Jagga is at least top 5! He’s the best clearance player in the draft. Only negative at this stage is goal threat but I think he can become more damaging.
Kako, M.Reid, Gross, Moraes, Berry or Shanahan as a Mid/Fwd type or Jack Whitlock Gawn-esk Ruck/ Fwd I’d be happy with anyone of those 8 players! If Bryan and Shiel were to go I hope neither do, but if they do I’d trade both there picks to the Dockers, Giants or Swans for the best pick they can get then trade pick 35 and Tsatas to the suns for their pick 8. I don’t rate Elijah at all I’d rather M.Reid, Gross, Allan or Shanahan there all tough, gritty, ball getting, goal kicking type mid/Fwd’s. Could even just trade Bryan to the pies for their best pick 26 surely he’s worth that 5 years we developed him for m and he’s contracted that’s gotta be worth something! Imagine having picks: 8,15 & 25 or 26 in a super draft DAMN. Another possibility is they could trade a F1st or F2nd for 1 of the dockers picks 16 or 25 if the other deal didn’t get done.
The Murphy Reid conversation is really interesting. I think Essendon need Kako/Berry more as those genuine small fwds...but Murphy Reid as more of a genuine mid is a serious, serious player. Suns will definitely have a top 10 pick up for grabs, will just have to beat Richmond for it.
