Not sure why there is so much noise around Pou. He is 19. Let him simmer for a bit and develop.
Kids from that draft are developing also. Cam McKenzie for hawks has been in and out and subbed plenty of times. Clark and Tsatas have been in and out also with form.
Really hope Keeler or Van Es can step up to the plate, Van Es injuries is a concern. Dougal and Cordy are plugs atm until something better comes along. I dont know where Schoenmaker sits also he is a unique player at 194cm.
Luke Trainor looks high end talent in draft this year as a intercept...
I imagine there is a WhatsApp group chat consisting of Wally Lewis, John Coates, Alan Graham and Vlandys discussing how they would manipulate Broncos fan boy Steven Miles into rejecting the independent review and a brand new stadium for the AFL and the Lions as well as ensuring Suncorp stadium...
Its complete madness because its got the fingerprints of Rugby League all over it. No other way to make sense of it. There is a real wiff on the nose here, plenty of hidden agendas
SOS and the gang are probably taking next years draft into consideration with it said to be a midfielders draft and we dont have a 2nd rounder they may decide to take the best tall defender with our second pick here and get the development started now rather than try land something (KPD) in the...
I think Jiath ticks a number of boxes from the highlights Ive seen.
High footy IQ
Elite skills
Evasive
Speed
Aerial ability
Cant see much one on one footage. To me he looks more composed than his brother CJ, good decision maker. CJ can be bit eractic and run himself into trouble.
Could be a call between:
1st Pick
Darcy Wilson
Riley Hardeman
Charlie Edwards
2nd Pick
Archie Roberts
Tew Jiath
Ollie Murphy
Cant see Collard, Edwards, Demattia, Hardeman getting through to our 2nd pick.
If the Tholstrup to Melbourne rumours come true and one of Wilson or Windsor slides to us, do we call their name out?
I get a feeling Wilson could slide. Think he has more productivity than Windsor but Windsor looks to have the better skills, speed.
Wilson reminds me of Acres getting up and...
Reckon Adelaide will take whatever Essendon leave them out of Leake and Windsor. O'Sullivan would be their no.1 target but he will be gone already. Rumours they could trade up.
Sydney might be looking at Hardeman. The Lizard 🦎 is all on his own providing the run from back half. Hardeman would...
Curtin is a beast. 197cm doing the things he does as a midfielder on top of his defensive work, he looked like a one man show for WA carrying the side. I think he could be the best of this draft.
Hardeman will be strongly considered. If they want Sinclair midfield full time then Hardeman decision makes sense to help Nasiah with run from back half.
Or they could address that with Jiath pr Roberts with 2nd pick and take Tholstrup or Collard with first.
We have three 3rd round picks next year. Surely they can find a dceent young key defender to develop. We need speed but wont be unhappy if they choose Murphy as long as the following two picks they grab speed
Murphy is rated highly because he has shown he can intercept but also shut down a dangerous key forward. Watch the Allies Vs Vic Metro game when Jed Walters kicks 3 1st qtr goals they move Murphy to him and he shut Walters down for the rest of the game.
Murphy is a natural defender, plays with...
I've heard the Zac Bailey comparisons with Tholstrup. I can't see it myself, Bailey is very zippy I haven't seen that with Tholstrup. Tholstrup looks very composed still but he did test top 10 for agility. Good Saints man Tholstrup I have seen today some sort of bonus if we take him.
I agree Collard has that Shai Bolton cat like agilty to cause havoc in the front half. Whether he had the ability to go into the midfield and get 30 touches like Bolton can is another question.
My choice would be Collard and Charlie Edwards. Then someone like Simpson or Hastie late.
Collard is...
Adelaide and North have 6 picks between them from pick 10 to 20. Both desperate for Key Defenders hard to see Murphy slip through both clubs. Sydney has a pick in amongst that range also and need key back depth but they have never been one to take a 200cm skinny tall that early that needs a few...
Heard on SEN WA might have been when they interviewed Hardeman Scotty Cummings was joking with Hardeman being another Saints supporter like Zane. I guess they are referring to Zane Zakostelsky from WA and not Duursma.
Can easily see us calling out Tholstrup or Collard with our first pick, lets face it we struggle to score as well as our midfield issues. We are thin after Butler and Higgo post trade period for smaller forward types.
Expect Charlie Edwards to be available at our next pick as another speedy mid...
Dildo just needs his Ego stroked. He waits all year for this trade/draft period. Its his last hoorah so he is milking it for all he can.
Personally I'll miss him because he is the reason Essendon have been stuck in the bottom half of the ladder for 20 years
Yeah they dont have to be genuine wingman. They are '"transition players", magnets that can go anywhere.
Think Collingwood players like McCreery, Bobby hill, Markov, Daicos brothers, Hoskin-Elliot, Crisp, Sidebottom. They find space and kill you on the spread regardless of their starting position
