Round 17 Port v Central

[Jim05]

What's going on with Dyson Sharp?

The 5 games he played last year, he looked like a dead set number 1 draft pick. This year, with the exception of the North game, he looks like he's regressed (55% disposal efficiency and 57.8 average ranking points, compared to 57% & 82.8 last year), and has already been dropped once to the U18s.

He did really well at the national U18 level this year, but the talk continues that this is quite a weak draft year. It can't be workload as PlayHQ has him down for 12 games, plus one of two more for the AFL Academy side.

He will be fine, hardly had a break last year after playing finals for the dogs and straight into the state program preseason.

His disposal is his knock, but other attributes will get him drafted high.

I dunno, didn't affect guys like Rozee and Rankin in 2018, only made them better players.

There's a bit of Jack Graham about him, I reckon. Not sure he'll slide as much as Graham did, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the 20's.

I’m not sure the MVP of the U18’s national comp slides that far.
Doubt he is drafted outside the top 5

Graham won the Larke Medal the year he was drafted, same as Sharp.
Graham was a man child with knocks on his disposal and speed, same as Sharp.
Both played SANFL footy in their U17 year.

There's a lot of similarities there.

[northerner]

As I have already asked, if Port don't make the SANFL finals, is Liddy allowed to play for us?

Theoretically yes under the agreement

Practically, he will be told do you want to risk six figures in 2025 by earning maybe $2-3K in SANFL finals and also we want you fresh to come back ASAP to give you a full AFL pre-season.

Liddy wont play SANFL finals unless Port make it. Exhibit A, Brett Turner.

State League Participation

Players who are selected in the MSRD that remain in their original State will not be permitted to play against their original Club unless otherwise agreed by all parties.

Any player selected in the 2025 MSRD has the right to return to their original Club to participate in finals if their service is no longer required at their AFL Club (subject to State League approval).

Yeah. Nah.

The fact that Liddy is likely to be signed for a further 12 months may well close the loophole that he can play for the Dogs in finals if Port doesn't make it... thats the belief at Elizabeth.

This years draft will be finishing not long after the 20's from what Im hearing, there will be a record amount of delistings > relistings this year due to the depth not being there.
