2022 AFL National Draft and Rookie Draft 28 & 29 November 2022

our ruck stocks are dangerously thin as we only have 3 players they’ll allow to ruck based on the GF: Hickey, Reid and Ladhams

Given the first two’s age and the latter’s ability to get himself suspended we are in a precarious position and it might have been wise to acquire another one from somewhere. Not sure it’s the draft though as even Barnett is probably too young.

It would make sense to train Amartey to at least pinch hit in the ruck!

Totally agree Markwebbos. That is why I was keen on Harry Boyd, the best ruck in the SAFL.

Dominated the SAFL GF winning the Jack Oatey medal, won the Michael Taylor medal as Norwoods best player for 2022, only 25 with two seasons only in the SAFL and never been injured and can play as a KPD or at a pinch a KPF.

Only problem is he did not nominate for the draft. Don't know his personal circumstances but he is originally from Shepparton. I don't know if we could get him in the SSP but he does seem a perfect fit for our needs.

Dalrymple was quoted as saying the three players we drafted were rated in the top 20 by the Swans.

How can you say that pick 19/20 and pick 37/38 next year is not a good outcome? Hawthorn have a very real chance of coming last next year. Have you seen their list now that Gunston, O'Meara and Mitchell are gone? The live trade was a massive haul for us.

In regards to Cabor and Cleary, at this stage they are not that as highly rated by other "experts" as you may think. They both made the Academy squad but even so, they are both ranked outside the top 30 in lists I've seen. At this stage we will have picks 18, 19,3 6, and 37 before either of them gets a bid.

cabor & cleary made the AFl Academy squad. they must be pretty good to make that.

i don't think we actually tried Campbell there for even a whole game. he played one game between there and wing.

It was in Herald Sun that I saw at local cafe. Article by Sam Lanbsberger. It says the Swans said they found it difficult to split players 11-30 but ended up drafting three teenagers they had ranked inside 20. Dalrymple said they rated Vickery at 18-20 which validated the slide to 27. Living in Orbost meant he didn't get as much training in as the other youngsters and this boded well for his improvement.

3 Bushrangers players!

No. Two Gippsland, one Bushranger

[i'm-uninformed2]

We've officially taken Edwards as a pre-listed rookie.

Essendon Bombers, St Kilda Saints land NGA talents Anthony Munkara, Angus McLennan among 15 players drafted

LUDWIG: no, you're not alone in having the issue with reply with quote. Maybe KB got on the beers and spiked that, to reduce friction and debate today.

We;e picked a ruckman! Tasmanian Cameron Owenhttps://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/cameron-owen/

[bloodspirit]

From Rookie Me Draft Central:

Tasmanian ruck-forward Cameron Owen is far from the finished product, but is one who
earned a State Draft Combine invite following a consistent top-age year. Owen is not an
explosive tall like others, but he is mobile enough that he can get around the ground and
move a little better than some opposing rucks. He finds his fair share of the ball, and while
his consistency is still building, has shown he can present as a leading forward as well as
a ruck.
At 203cm, the Tasmanian is a good height, and at 94kg, is more built than many of his peers,
and when presenting out in front inside 50 or around the ground, he is consistent enough
with his hands to clunk them. Again, he is not a superb contested mark, but he can cleanly
take grabs when creating separation on his opponent, and he will always create a contest.
His upside is evident with what he does well, and he has come on in leaps and bounds this
year.
Owen still has a number of areas to work on, as his consistency is still not there yet. From
an on-field traits perspective, his ground level work is another area, while Owen missed
chances to really influence up forward, though he presents well. A long-term prospect.
