Spot on. I don't think many would dispute the fact Zuthrie was better than Stewart down back in 2024. No one would've believed that was possible only a few years back.

Been following KMF on socials. Not sure about the crowd he's hanging around with, look to be a pretty loose bunch...

I was trying to figure that out too, my rough guess is Mannagh, but I have no idea.

Was that Mitch Edwards leading his running group at around the 1:25 mark? (and big Joe Pike really battling)

It was more what he posted rather than what he didn’t.

I’m still backing Clark in, but I’m worried he might not have the work ethic. Just saw a couple things on the socials this offseason that made me think maybe footy’s not his #1 priority. To be clear, nothing major, just a few hints here and there juxtaposed against the content of guys like Neale...

The reports of SDK's demise are greatly exaggerated.

Thurlow looked very promising before doing his knee.

Interesting to see Charlie McCartin, the middle brother of Paddy and Tom, on that list. Some more info about him: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/09/24/hes-a-ripper-former-no-1-pick-comments-on-draft-potential-of-younger-brother

He might head back to South Adelaide in the SANFL.

The OP said that McClure said "now McClure is saying "OH YEAH BUT WHAT I MEANT WAS HARLEY WILL EVENTUALLY LEAVE". He never said that's what he originally meant, he was simply making a secondary prediction.

I don’t like McClure as much as the next person, but that is not what he said.

Thanks, really appreciate the insight.

Spot on, and this is why guys like Brad Close go unappreciated by fans, because he just does what he needs to - sees and option and hits it. He might not break tackles, baulk the opponent, or go on a dashing run but he always uses it well and swiftly.

Feel like Bruhn is almost there. Maybe not 2025, but soon. Knevitt I’m worried about.

That’s pretty close to a 3-year apprenticeship for mine.

He's going to be a very good player, but he's far from ready. Still needs to add a lot of size to be a KPD at AFL level. The club typically gives it's promising talls (SDK, Neale) a three-year apprenticeship in the twos before they get a decent run in the seniors.

Not saying you're wrong, but since 2015 draft (past 10 years) we've only really had 1 player from each draft hit 50 games. The exception being 2016 when we took Stewart, J.Henry, Parfitt and Z.Guthrie. It's probably unlikely that we buck that trend, especially in a year where we had a very poor...

I've got some bad news for you then...

Seems like an Osca Riccardi clone.

Agree with this. SDK's critics were very harsh, one of them being CS himself. It's very difficult being a KPD in a side with no midfield.

That’s wishful thinking but there’s no evidence to suggest Stanley is just a back up. As of the PF he was our first choice behind Conway. SDK won’t go ahead of him until either SDK is training as a ruckman and improving his ruck craft, or Stanley breaks down.

Rumour is we were keen on Jordan Dawson (also a Sturt boy) with our pick 59 back in 2015 before Sydney took him at 56. We ended up taking Ryan Gardner.

Fair enough. Though I think Stanley will be ahead of SDK as a ruck still.

Geelong's only #49s: Murray, Ron (1959) Hoiles, John (1985-86) Fitzgerald, John (1986-87) Our top 10 numbers by average games: 35 - Average Games 104.7 3 - 104 40 - 103.6 1 - 92.9 45 - 88.3 44 - 78.4 17 - 74.2 21 - 72.4 4 - 71.7 8 - 71.3

You probably would've told me SDK would've been picked in the QF and PF too.
