Questions & Answers
Does anyone know where i can find a list of every person who nominated for the 2006 afl draft?
I have a bet going with a mate that says the Rhys Palmer (pick 7 by fremantle in the 2007 (most recent) afl draft) actually nominated in the 2006 draft and was overlooked by every team. I need EVIDENCE that he hadn't nominated - an article, draft listing or anything. Muchly appreciated!!!
Ask the AFL.
where can i find the results and statistics of the 2001 afl draft camp?
i want to find what luke hodge got for the beep test, vertical leap and other things like that. does anyone know where i can find this?
Very hard to find the results of the 2001 AFL draft camp on the web. Don't think you'll have much luck finding it, but if you're really interested might be worth contacting the AFL, who may be able to help you out.
Here's Colin Wisbey's (an avid junior footy watcher, that used to post up draftee profiles - doesn't anymore as he's now in the recruiting game) profile of Luke Hodge in 2001:
"Luke HODGE (Geel) Low-age 184/82. Left footer.
On-field he is a 184cm version of Darren Millane - same style, skills and attitude. Worth 1st pick in the entire draft.
Off-field is super-focussed also. (already studies tapes of upcoming opponents etc).
Regardless of what a team needs, if I had pick No.1 I'd use it, absolutely without the slightest hesitation, on Hodge. The consummate footballer. My only concern is whether he is still prone to suffering osteitis pubis.
- Runs fast.
- Kicks like a mule, and finds his targets. Goalkicker.
- Tough as nails. Physically strong and aggressive towards both man and ball.
- Plays tall or short - very strong overhead for his height (184CM), even in packs. Excellent ground skills and clean hands. Big leap. Crunches packs.
- Mentally tough
- Great stamina.
- Reads the play and the ball extra well.
- Great in traffic.
- Excellent balance
- Extremely professional in his preparation
- Very versatile - can play any non-key role.
- Physically mature match-winner with poise and an abundance of footy smarts.
Query:
- !!! Is he still prone to suffering osteitis pubis? Still looked unfit or hampered even at the end of the season. Regardless, his style suggests that his body is always going to take a buffeting, so his career may be more injury-affected than most players'.
- Gives away 2.0 frees per game (6th worst in the TAC comp).
- Sometimes plays too much like a millionaire and needs to be reminded to play within the team plan.
- Kicking seems to be one-sided (left). Pace, strength and balance are so good it doesn't get him into trouble though."
Should High School Footbal Player be allowed to enter the AFL Draft?
Would this make the AFL more excitind than the NFL . Keep in mind MLB does it and the NBA used to. How would this affect college football, and also remember there less money in going out of high shcool straight to the AFL than spending the time in college to go to the NFL where the BIG bucks are?
there are currently 21 players in the AFL with high school football experience. and do remember that the AFL has a developmental league for players the AFL2 and the nfl sends its players to the european football league
You make the common assumption that the AFL is full of a bunch of chumps. There's a lot of talented players in the AFL... guys who have some NFL experience, very good DI college players who aren't quite good enough for the NFL, and outstanding DII athletes who are fighting to get their shot at the NFL. Tons of talent! So besides the talent level, here's the real problem... the AFL is a different game from outdoor football. Some things are the same and the basic skills are similar, but it's still a very different game. As a development league, a player wouldn't get the same coaching to prepare for the NFL as they would in college ball, because they would be learning Arena football and not outdoor football.
