2022 AFL Draft

[Windy Hille]

So we have picks 4, 22, 54, 62, 68, 72

What are people’s thoughts?

Wardlaw, Cadman, Sheezel, Tsatas, Humphrey or Lemmey at pick #4?

I don’t know where Davey Jr fits into this equation. Or Munkara for that matter.

Djapana!

The club made sure that we have enough points to match a first round bid for the better Davey

Buggered if I know how that all works

No one knows. It's all a lottery - depending on whether other teams "bid" on them or not.

Good Luck to The Club for the Draft!

But tell me about it after The World Cup.

Which is Exactly what AWFULL Don’t want us paying attention to(whilst doing so themselves,probably there)!

[robrulz5]

GWS likely to take Cadman so could be any of the rest for us.

They better be bloody good, or a LOT of Essendon fans are gonna have egg on their face.

Don’t understand why fans would have egg on their face.

Simple. So many fans wetting themselves over how good the twins are.
If they don't live up to that hype, those fans will be wearing egg.

If F/S selection wasn't a thing, where would they be expected to be taken?

I’m still confused.

Fans don’t “set the hype”, they react to it. They’ll only getting excited by what they read or hear about them.

Eggs should be thrown at those who declare them “exciting prospects” etc, not those who salivate at the sound of it.

You must be looking at different social media than me. What I've seen is fans saying "ThEy'Re AmAzInG!!"

Hmm… mustn’t read the same goop.

Whatever the sauce, you just pour it over the meat you want.

Talent scouts been sprouting their worth for a while.

George Wardlaw says he’d love to play for the Bombers. Has met with Dodoro and done an extensive interview.

Can’t see it happening though. North in the box.

https://central.rookieme.com/afl/2022/1 ... -essendon/

FIRST PICK OPTIONS:

It seems Essendon is into a range of powerful, dynamic midfielders with regards to pick four, hoping to add a point of difference to its current on-ball brigade. Pending what North Melbourne does with picks two and three, the Bombers could have a tough decision to make if George Wardlaw or Harry Sheezel are still on the board.

The more likely scenario is they aren’t, and that Elijah Tsatas is. The Oakleigh Chargers speedster is a good size and can play both sides of midfield, but recent chatter suggests the Bombers could lock in South Australian Mattaes Phillipou. At 190cm, his athleticism and ability to shift forward loom as promising assets in the top 10.

I reckon Wardlaw wont be there, Tsatas will be a good footballer, but I reckon we`ll go with Phillipou, mainly cause of the 190cm height (4 cm more than Tsa) and 10 extra kg he has to offer over Tsatas. Could be 'anything' is the quote being used about him. I reckon he could be a 'beast'.

Interested who we take with pick 2?

Also reckon George (Wardlaw) can do a couple of years with the roos, then come join us (the club he loves).

All assuming the roos do take Wardlaw and Sheezal.

[F111]

The thing that concerns me about Phillipou is how they describe him as super confident.
Horne-Francis had a similar description.
Otherwise Tsatas seems the one.

I have this feeling it may not happen. I hope I'm wrong in this case but you know this club and its certainties. Fingers crossed.
