The Flux Report: 2021 AFL Daft - preview, tactics & leek plugging

Post: # 1932716Post AeonFlux »

Ok Saintsationalists, here it is. What you've all been waiting for (unless you have a life).

The great (non) definitive guide to the great 2021 AFL Daft, which has been drawn up after speaking with the loose memebers of the Ass essment Committee. (Simon Says, Philosopher Phil, The Good Doctor, the look-at-me-aren't-I-good Ted, the not-so-good Lazar, the not-good Vaas, the definitely not-good Aeon, everyone's favourite comrade & tireless defender of the embattled Saxon chromosome, and, of course, the Great Fox. <swoon> ).

IOurHOs this is a really good and comprehensive page, so we didn't bother doing any other homework... https://central.rookieme.com/afl/power- ... -november/



Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera:
Though we just may well go for a key defender to plug a leek, really really really really like the look of Wanganeen-Milera.
- Despite needing to bulk up, is already playing SANFL.
- Incredibly quick hands - some of his gives are damn hard to even see.
- The sort of kicking (along with Leo C) that Saintas' fans can only dream of.
- Robert Harvey-esque dancing feet.
Sounds like the sort of bloke who could end up dragging the punters through the gates to see him play. And if one was a current Sainta key forward, then one should be demanding that our recruiters try for him.
Read somewhere that he's (genetically) a Wanganeen. Terry Milera is actually his step-dad. Can anyone confirm? (Even Rodger didn't know.)

https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player ... en-milera/

Gooooaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


More SANFL.


U18s - party tricks. B)





If we can't get Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera:
However, there are so so many very hopeful prospects in the top 30 of this draft. So unless we do really really want someone around our fist pick, then would really like us to try to split our first rounder into two inside the top 30. Here are some links to some likely lads (in current predicted draft order). Some real talent, and some blokes who may well have a huge upside...

WA vs SA - all the players.
https://central.rookieme.com/afl/2021/0 ... australia/



Scenario summaries:
Best scenario - Get Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera + our two academy blokes.
Second (and still bloody good) scenario - Split our first rounder into two top 30 picks. Get two mids/ one mid & plug a defensive leek + our two academy blokes.



Defensive leek plugging:
We definitely need another key defender. However, there are several cheap short term (at the least) options out there. We can also try Battle again. Despite his (not quite tall enough) size he did damn well there before. And if we really are planning on throwing the kitchen sink at Joe Bro King for 2023, well, he's a very likely top line CHB prospect as well.



Our new Category M rookies
Whilst all the various political fun n' games have been playing out (both in Canberra and Moorabbing), our BBOM has quietly sent Saintsational's own True Disbeliever on a little recruiting mission to entice some of his Mates to come and join our beloved club

Look out AFL!!!


That'll plug up he leek in our defence. :twisted:
Saynta wrote: F#&k yeah! :D :D :D


Prognostication/ you heard here first:
If we can manage to achieve either of those scenarios, then this will very likey prove to be the defining draft for our club for years to come. Flags will follow.

Oh, and Windhager and Owens will finish outside the top 20, so they will come to us. Winhager will recover from his 'injury'. And Owens will slide after we invite him to a BBQ at Hanners' sister's place. :twisted:



Thoughts, Rodger? <swoon> Image
Thoughts, merry and gay people...?
Thoughts, Old Phil...?
Thoughts, Prue Goward...?
Thoughts, President Macron...?
Thoughts, vaxxers and anti-vaxxers...?
Thoughts, Saintsationalists...?


- Aeon.

Take care, and I can’t wait to see you at the footy.

And Aeon honey, could you seek out some more of the politically incorrect St Nosher? He's so bad......... he's good. :lol:

'Fred'.
Sorry Fred. Nosh is upset at Scotty from Marketing over lying to the French, at Jordy De Gorey over being a grub, but mostly, at Clarke Kent somehow getting another contract. :roll: :roll: :evil: :roll: :roll: He seems to have chucked his toys out of the cot, and is not answering our phone calls.

Cup run. 2021 AFLDaft still to come. So there's nothing much happening at the moment. And it doesn't take all that long to watch replays of the Saintas premiership triumphs. (Plural form? We wish. :( )

So sit back Saintsationalists, and enjoy a selection from the Flux Film Buff Collection to fill in the time. :)



One of the funniest movies ever made.


From the country next on the list to be bombed.




A little known, but truly great movie. Carson McCullers was only 23 when she wrote the novel. :shock: Respect.





Tornatore's masterpiece.


The greatest western ever. And also one of the all time great sound tracks.


On the list of all time greatest movies. Made over about a week with two Sony steadicams, and only one of the cast had ever been infront of a camera before. Won an Oscar for original best song.

Yes, the AFL can be quite Daft.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

The only thing I disagree with is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly being the best Western. I rate Silverado as better.

Nearly sold me on the Wang-Mil. Plenty of options though with our first pick, a hard one to bugger up (I hope).

High Plains Drifter is Clint in his prime, at his best. Top 3 easily.

Indeed. Have you seen Gran Torino? It's pretty much the same character in a different movie 40 years later. Grouchy, irrascible, scowling, threatening and saving the day.
The Mule (2018) is also good. Different vibe from Clint in that one.

Yeah, saw The Mule, as you say different vibe. Not as good as his westerns of which a new one is just being released.

Don't remember Gran Torino off hand but would have seen it.

Yes, there's a reason he's a living Hollywood legend. Simply brilliant in both Gran Torino & The Mule.

Google 'Tom Hanks Clint Eastwood impression'. It's a clip from the Graham Norton Show. Good story about Clint the director.

Loved Gran Torino too.

Richard Jewell is well worth watching as well.


This was my father's belief

Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Can't say we agree on Silverado, but for Saintsational's favourite apparitional poster, here it is. Enjoy. :D
