This. Just because a random Bigfooty poster thinks that Roberts is great doesn't mean his rankings are gospel. Twomey is the ONLY resource that has inside information from recruiters from all teams and he had Roberts at #9 in his last ranking, behind Callaghan, Hobbs, Gibcus, Rachele and Sinn...

Good win, more complete game from a bunch of players - Ned hitting up short passes was a delight compared to hitting our long I50 bombs to no one. - Chayce is our most reliable kick out of D50. - Straight kicking for goal - Scoring 100 for the first time in ages - Mids hitting the scoreboard...

Weird that someone with a statistical aptitude would not recognise that hitouts are the most insignificant stat when it comes to correlation with team margin. Hitouts to advantage are very minorly correlated with team margin. You're a dinosaur yourself if you think that's still important. I...

I'm sick of negativity so I'm gonna look at just the good stuff. - Nick Murray prior to getting injured looked like a bloody athletic good competitive KPD. A few of those leads that he managed to get a fist on somehow and a few of those pack crunching spoils were really impressive - Chayce's...

Alright I'm settling this once and for all for those who didn't follow the 2018 draft. These players that we always complain about ARE natural footballers. Everyone who followed them knows that. They just happen to be good athletes as well, which is another reason why they would've been selected...

Also on this, we underestimate just how interrupted Fish's pre-season was. Firstly that news that his dad had a serious health issue while Fish was in Melbourne and compounded with injury niggles means we're not seeing the best of him. Having said that, the onus should've been more on him to...

I'm not sure I agree that it won't be relevant in defence. Have you seen his body language when he misses a set shot or loses out a contest early in a game? He can't recover from that within that game. Now imagine if his opponent gets a few marks on him in defence at the start of the game. What...

But a team offering him just a marginal amount more than he'd be on with the rookie contract would be more attractive. Why stay at Adelaide on 100K rookie contract on a 1 year deal if given a 150K 2 year deal elsewhere for example. Happened with Ryan Abbott from Geelong a couple of years ago...

Only problem is then you risk another team picking him up as a Delisted Free Agent before we can get him in the rookie draft. Seeing as there are very few good state league ruckmen out there, you'd think that he'd be attractive to a team that would need one. Happy with him taking a list spot...

3 years on the rookie list means he has to be promoted to the senior list. Still worth it. 100% leading our SANFL B&F.

Here's a thought. How about we just pick players based on whether they can play, rather than based on their height. Just a thought.

If we finish 2nd last then there's a slight chance he can get there. The way I think it is at the moment is Daicos, Sam Darcy (both bids) and then Horne. But some other players might be more appealing to North Melbourne with their actual live pick as there's a bunch of highly rated Victorians...

Shocking take. Have you watched any SANFL? Newchurch isn't even close to above the SANFL level let alone ready for AFL. And why wouldn't we want to draft a 3 goal a game, incredibly accurate, smart small forward with a late pick (he kicked 47.11 last season from 17 or 18 games)? How about we...

Well he was in the same draft class as Lukosius and Rankine. Was a leader for SA that year. Pretty sure he'd be good friends with at least one of those guys, could simply be a pony to get them to come back home as well. Clearly we don't actually rate him that highly, seeing as we were only...

Will cost us Dudley and Blayne O'Loughlin if they both get to the rookie picks. Dudley much much better prospect than Tariek, albeit extremely unfit. If O'Loughiln gets to the rookie spots then I'd rather both Blayne and Dudley over Borlase and Tariek.

Parnell did something to his shoulder. Anyone at the game know what happened? Edit: He's back on, shoulder strapping. Thank God. Edit 2: Off after a minute back on, clearly injured, probably day over.

Why stop at the Port comparisons? Top 10 pick poor to average players 2009-2017: 2009: - Jack Trengove (2) (Injuries, could've been a very different career) - Anthony Morabito (4) (Ditto above, could've been a superstar) - John Butcher (8) - Andrew Moore (9) 2010: - Sam Day (3) - Reece Conca...

Chris Sheedy was the one from Port Adelaide. He is a football analyst, not a recruiting/scouting data analyst. He probably is purely focused on the AFL side and analysing opposition sides, not the scouting side of the club. Looks like we have Binuk Kodituwakku and Dean Dagan in the traditional...

Oh yeah a 1st Rounder and Shane McAdam is completely unders for Mitch McGovern...

I obviously don't work at the club but I'm sick of uninformed people on this board just blurting out false information all the time like they know what's going on inside the club. You don't. I also follow the draft incredibly closely so I know to not assess players in hindsight. We've made...

I don't want to attack you personally, but you're clearly a clueless nuffy. 1) We know why we didn't take Jarrod Berry. Pyke wanted speed (Gallucci) and the recruiters wanted Tim English or Berry. Blame the coach. 2) Bailey was a reach at the time and Fogarty was a top 5 rated prospect in the...

Wow Cooky, what a game so far by him. Huge potential.

Really impressive today in the SANFL. Great skillset for the role. Feel very secure where he has the ball in hand. Couple of turnovers today not from poor execution but due to not having the chemistry with teammates to know where they like to position themselves in contests up the ground/leading...

Oh please inform us how you know exactly what the process is with our recruiting department? You obviously don't have any inside knowledge, don't make assumptions.

I'm 90% confident we keep Strachan. He's the best SANFL ruck and there's no one kicking the door down in VFL/WAFL that really deserve a go. It's the least important position on the ground as well, so I don't see why anyone would ever want us to draft a project 18 year old ruckman who will take...

Glad someone else can recognise this. Thilthorpe - Potential to be best Key Forward in the game. Kicked a left foot goal over his head to win the game in his 8th game like wtf. Pedlar - Speed and power out of stoppage. Goalkicking. Needs to polish his kicking and fumbling on ground level but...

So you guys think that you have more information on who WB were interested in than Adelaide? The intel was that Carlton and Bulldogs wanted him, and if you had the chance to remove one of the competitors why wouldn't you? Mind you, Jamarra should've been Pick 1 anyways, so I think the strategy...

Pedlar was pretty good. Got quite a bit of the ball around the ground, decent kicking. Seemed to slow the game whenever he got the ball, not sure if that was by design or just how he was playing. My question mark with him though is at CB or in stoppages around the ground where he just goes at...

Stoked. Amazing pick. We have someone that we can trust to hit a target. Stoked.

If he stays on for another season, he's automatically on the senior list as he's been on the rookie list for 3 seasons (him and Butts both drafted in 2018). That's where a couple of list spots will go to.
