I also have followed Jack since U16's and have been honestly really surprised by negative comments here. I previously worked for Carlton in recruiting and have followed Jack's progress since as my love of Roos has always been with me. I believe many on here have some short memories and if you...

Seems like we have both been scanning old Aths results GR - saw this from APS 2017 - seems Jack and Will have been running together before joining up at Roos.

Ben King went to Haileybury and finished school in 2018. LDU and Bonar also went to Haileybury and finished the year before - but they all played together at school footy. Ben played TAC at Sandy Dragons as well as Vic Metro in 2018 with Jack Mahony. From memory I also think he was in AFL...

I would just like to say let's cool down a little until we see more from Horne at Nationals. History tells me NAB League form way superior to SANFL League from longer term recruiting so i would like to see Horne against his peers some more.. Interesting SANFL League stats to compare in their...

I am very excited about 2020 Draft as there are a number of different types this year and that always creates interest. Last years draft was very light on talls particularly key position players and this year has plenty. The area I want to create a conversation on though is mid fielders – as...

I do not post a lot but as you can see from my past posts i used to work for many years with a number of AFL teams recruiting departments - and still love to watch how many of the boys i have followed have transitioned in to AFL system. So have read with interest many posts in NM threads...

KM - I think there is a tendency to pre-judge the below 180's from a draft sense but i think the game has changed and recent premiership teams reflect importance of smalls all over ground. I still don't understand why clubs continue to draft 'athletic type' 187-192cm players with low junior...

Ok am now giving my opinions on ‘outside’ players in this Pool. These are the players that always create the most conversation with recruiters as the contested v uncontested step up at AFL is the biggest unknown – ideally we like to see some contested traits or alarm bells tend to ring. I have...

KM - I am loving that Luke Jackson name keeps getting pushed higher as I am unabashed fan. Also I think Liam Henry is now getting plaudits he deserves. Have noticed with interest over last few days with Henry and Pickett invited to Draft that small forwards seem a big attraction and talking...

Knightmare - I have been following closely all season and admire how you are not afraid to follow your convictions on a number of players - it seems that there is a tendency for many to just follow the consensus and I appreciate how you tend to speak your mind. I have recently had further look...

See attached Vic Metro B & F voting from last night. Votes by coaches for all Nationals games. Rowell (votes in 4 games) McAsey (votes in 3 games) Anderson (Votes in 3 games) Mahony (votes in 3 games) Worrell ( 2 games) Maginness (1 game) Bianco (1) Mott (1) Sturgess (1) Butler (2) Newman (1)...

Ok - again only my thoughts: Lachie Potter: absolute top end breakaway speed. Tests spectacularly well - that said don't read too much in to sprint testing times as any boy who has significant athletics sprinting background will test slow as the mechanics required to manually start timing in 20...

Glad you enjoyed the read...just to clarify the 5 mentioned earlier are the 5 that across the range of Clubs are constantly seen as above all others... Tom Green will be drafted by GWS in 2019. The cynic in me says GWS will be doing everything in their power in 2019 to ensure that Tom doesn't...

I think he is a defender first. Really like him as excellent one on one and uses ball very well by foot. Watched at GGS, NZ, Nationals and i think this suits him best. Did see him play mid with Pioneers and he was very good - but DPS as you know Bendigo are poor and someone has to get ball in...

Ok it’s been a while since I last posted but I had a last minute reprieve and went back into AFL system again so kept quiet whilst employed – but now definitely retired so want to share my thoughts again. I would like to share some thoughts of how things work inside AFL land with regards...

Thanks DPS. So on that point - look at Walsh, Rankine, Rozee and Hill this year. Bailey Smith has been spoken about a lot here lately and was great on weekend - but compared to others just needs to sharpen his quickness of disposal. He tends to hold on to ball a touch too long and disposal by...

If looking at Top 10 I think history will show that 2016 & 2018 will be the more successful groups when compared to 2017. Recruiters look at AFL traits - and definitely not stats so good on TAC if they don't post individual stats this year as they are so wildly inaccurate they are not worth...

Maybe that's true...but point i am really making is that from a Draft 2018 I believe VIC crop is not as strong as previous years - particularly Vic Metro. That said 2019 draft will be strongest in years for VIC.

Hi all - this is my first post so please be gentle. First the intro - I have been employed in AFL club land for a number of years and that ceased at the end of last season. Was in recruiting and talent id and emphasis was on observing players from U16 year through to Draft year - but mainly...
