Anderson should be a target for when prestia retires. Need his type to round out our midfield mix, too many bulldozers and no ferrarisIf we could get Noah Anderson, Mitch georgiades and Isaac cumming then I think we could rocket back up the ladder …… much easier said then done though
Rate him but I wouldn’t botherAnderson should be a target for when prestia retires. Need his type to round out our midfield mix, too many bulldozers and no ferraris
agree, we should be getting a heap of midfielders in this draft and the next few drafts.Rate him but I wouldn’t bother
Just takes a midfield rotation from a gun mid draftee when we already have Taranto and Hopper in the mix
I'm just waiting for tomorrow when he and Finn O'Sullivan want the same ball. Have a look.All good
Wait till November, and this board will be freaking out at the idea of us not taking him.
Yeah although I don’t think we should be looking solely for mids eitheragree, we should be getting a heap of midfielders in this draft and the next few drafts.
probably will play a totally different way in a few years racking up fantasy points. In fact we will bring in someone from the bench just to shut down Anderson while we beat them in other ways
I had some news from a family friend who is on the coaching staff at the tigers and he stated the he felt Aden E lacks in his leadership and appears to have lost the likes of Dusty who has lost interest and enjoyment of the game and is unlikely to play again this year.
It did feel like Dusty said goodbye when he did that walk around the centre square after his 300th. I really doubt he will go to GCS next year. He’s lost a metre of pace and gets caught and harassed much more these days. I have loved his time at the club but we need to move on from him and Grimes etc. If we are going to rebuild from the draft then we need to prioritise game time for the next generationyou do have to wonder if we will see Dusty lace the boots up again?
thank god, we had the #300 to celebrate
still not over... till its over

Dusty has lost my interest as well, he has been below average for a couple of seasons now. I'll be really disappointed if we offer him a new contract he needs to retire. Glad that he is contemplating a move if that's the case.I had some news from a family friend who is on the coaching staff at the tigers and he stated the he felt Aden E lacks in his leadership and appears to have lost the likes of Dusty who has lost interest and enjoyment of the game and is unlikely to play again this year.
Champion data have Anderson the 7th worst inside 50 kick in the comp and Rowell & Flanders bottom 25. That’s why Hardwick is desperate to get Rioli & Dusty who can kick as they are butchering so many forward entries.Noah Anderson is overrated, just like his mate Rowell. Don't you wonder why the Black Hole Suns get their heads kicked in by good midfields?

Dusty was in the all Australian squad last year , and this year has been injuredDusty has lost my interest as well, he has been below average for a couple of seasons now.

Also WTF someone in our coaching staff thinks Yze lacks leadership? So basically bagging out his boss? Better not be Teague or Rutten they can't coach to save themselves.
weaknesses?
Not agility thats for sure
Pace ? 1st 5 steps not express, but when he gets going, hard to stop
I dont think he has weaknesses, inside outside midfielder who kicks goals, whats not to like?
You assure me? I've seen it, mate. FOS will beat him in a fair contest more than he loses. Be sure to tune in.Well considering Josh has 20kg and 20 cm on him , it won’t be much of a contest I can assure you , but hey bro, you do you
Not weighing in on judgement as an individual but if burst pace is a weakness it’s probably the worst type of weakness for that type of player to have imoI have knocks on his agility but I’ll wait until combine to see “truth”.
Think we all can acknowledge his lack of burst pace over 5-10m. Is that enough to knock him from number 1? Who knows? All I know is that he ain’t perfect and I want to see his Coates Talent league output against the very best and I’m yet to see it. That’s tomorrow for him.
He has weaknesses, they all do. You just gotta watch closer. But are his weaknesses fixable with development and growth and are they gonna hold him back against elite athletes?
There’s tomorrow, the end of the year and combine to come. Number one pick isn’t a definite atm and I’m still a FOS fan but willing to wait and watch and collect data.
This is from his draft profile back in the day, lacks top end speed but does specifically mention he has very good burst speedWhat was the knock that saw Cripps slide? I'm assuming it was similar to Smilie in that he was judged as a lumbering manchild who'd get shown up at senior level?
A Cripps clone would be handy for any side but fmd we need to address the lack of pace and skill in there at some stage.

Good luck trying to get that!we need 3 picks in top 12
Easy as matewe need 3 picks in top 12
I think they have said it's a deep draft, roughly good players up to 30? So as many picks as possible within that 30 hopefully and we reload as much as possible. Normally it's 2 players within the top 40, I'd hope for 6 this year means its 3 years of rebuild done at once. It's good most free agents have signed up. I read zurhaar looks like signing too.Good luck trying to get that!
