2019 AFL Draft - Discussion & Game

[Koop]

Not that many people use this place over the off-season, but for those still hanging around, thought this might be a fun idea.

Draft Game

The objective is to get as many possible selections correct inside the first round. Position does not matter in the slightest, just a list of 22 names (given we're likely to have 2/3 bids) that you think will be selected in the first round. You get a point for every player NOT selected inside the top 20 on draft night, and the winner is the entry with the least amount of points.

The two tiebreakers are

The exact draft positioning of Brodie Kemp
&
The exact draft positioning of Deven Robertson

Least total positions away from their actual pick wins in the event of a tiebreak.

For example, here is my entry. 

Matt Rowell
Tom Green
Dylan Stephens
Noah Anderson
Hayden Young
Lachie Ash
Luke Jackson
Deven Robertson
Brodie Kemp
Liam Henry
Fischer McAsey
Miles Bergman
Will Day
Cooper Stephens
Josh Worrell
Trent Rivers
Sam Flanders
Caleb Serong
Cody Weightman
Finn Maginness
Kysaiah Pickett
Jay Rantall

Deven Robertson exact draft position: 7
Brodie Kemp exact draft position: 9

After looking at a fair few different mock drafts and form guides I reckon the first round will end up like this.

Will Gould is the biggest surprise for me I thought earlier in the season he was possibly going to be a top 10-15 pick but now he is looking like he won’t be drafted in the first round!

Caleb Serong or Dylan Stephens are the two carlton are looking at! Unlikely that both will be available so we will just take whoever is there out of the two.

Tom Green @ 2 is a pretty big call Koop!

Gould slipped off how out of shape he was when he turned up to the combine. It's a shame because he's in my top 10 on talent.
