From 2019, fans will no longer be able to subscribe to AFL Live Pass through the AFL website. The Crows got a nice, balanced crop of players as they rebuild after their off-season exodus, addressing needs for key position players and taller midfielders. Carlton - Sam Philp (inside midfielder, Northern Knights)17. Port Adelaide - Miles Bergman (medium forward, Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro)16. Essendon - Nick Bryan (ruck, Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro)36. Geelong Cats - Cameron Taheny (general forward, Norwood/South Australia)DONS BOSS ADRIAN DODORO TRIED A SNEAKY DRAFT PLAY AGAIN31. https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sportal_com_au/79/58/caleb-serong-hayden-young-liam-henry_1sp9b5b0sdlk1duxvs3n5kobi.jpg?t=-1364182794&w=500&quality=80https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sportal_com_au/ca/94/sam-flanders-matt-rowell-noah-anderson_jdzv9gpn2tfr114vhsoah0tci.jpg?t=-1364182794&w=500&quality=80 Sydney Swans - Chad Warner (inside midfielder, East Fremantle)FREO TAKES TERRIFIC TRIO, SWANS SEND OUT A SHOCKWAVE Greater Western Sydney The Dogs seem to be one club fairly unconcerned with the size of players, instead focusing on their strengths, which has worked out well for them with Caleb Daniel in particular, so it’s good to see Garcia get a chance.I was glad to see them take a punt on Rowles as a rookie – he’s an exciting, quick midfielder who played two games for Vic Country this year.But they took inside bull Ely Smith with their first pick last year, and have Corey Lyons on their list struggling to get a game, and signed inside midfielder Cam Ellis-Yolmen last month as a free agent. Part of the criticism of his selection stems from the fact Melbourne already have star ruckman Max Gawn at their disposal. Carlton has done well here, but Kemp is the most intriguing selection. His scope is such that he could be the best of them, but they can’t all play in the same team that already boasts Jacob Hopper, Harry Perryman, and Callan Ward, so other clubs will likely be watching closely to see if GWS can retain all that midfield talent.In that sense, Hawthorn is probably the best club for him, as he’ll be able to develop in an excellent system. GWS GIANTS gain Pick 51 and a future fourth-round pick. The 2019 AFL draft consists of the various periods where the 18 clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) can trade and recruit players following the completion of the 2019 AFL season. Richmond (bid not matched by St Kilda) - Bigoa Nyuon (general defender, Dandenong Stingrays)4. Port obviously saw enough to pick him earlier than many had expected, so will be hoping that in an AFL system he can put all his talent together.
League Clubs. They would have been really happy to nab wingman Ralphsmith where they did, given many had him ranked as a first or early second-round talent.Gould is an excellent kick, and has the frame to play AFL next year, although he’ll need to seriously improve his endurance. These two South Australians bring the number of Croweaters on the Cats’ list to eight, after they took six last year.Crocker I’m less sold on – they probably didn’t need a small forward having Shane McAdam, Tyson Stengle, and Ned McHenry on the list already, but he might play a more defensive role than those players. GWS Giants - Thomas Hutchesson (midfielder/forward, Adelaide Crows SANFL)28.
Melbourne’s view is that Jackson is the long-term replacement – selecting him now means he gets to learn from and play alongside Gawn for 3-5 years, and then becomes the full-time ruckman when Gawn eventually retires. SYDNEY SWANS gain Pick 61. Rugby They clearly rated Sharp highly (list manager Craig Cameron said they’d have taken him at pick 15 if they hadn’t traded that to Carlton), and the AFL approved them trading that compensation selection. He’s a powerful mid/forward who should complement their mix nicely. Despite entering the draft late, the Pies managed to nab two quality midfielders. All Sports A-Z
