Can anyone do the 'like a boss' montage like Captain Jack did for Adam Maric a few years ago for Harvey?

Def keeps the feels in check.

Got a bit of the emo IT guy too.

Why would we need to do "character research"? Easier just asked to ask everyone to pose for a photograph and rank them based on on how they look into the camera.

Also since when was being psychopathic a bad thing anyway? We need more deranged people at our club, not less.

 

[Toump Ass]

Someone said on here he had autistic traits lol. WTF is wrong with people!?

Saw that on reddit, who cares. It's not a bad thing anyway. Autistic people have all sorts of superpowers, hyper-focus, lateral thinking, creativity, all sorts of shit.

I have a child who is autistic. You don't have to explain it to me. But to label a guy autistic for not smiling is ridiculous

Yeah it's pretty daft. Dude comes across as shy and also really good at football imo.

He is shy. He openly admitted this in a interview I was reading mid year.

I don't care if he is a mute and doesn't smile for the rest of his career. If he becomes a 200 game gun for us then that's all I care about.

 

[stEdy]

Co-captained the Stingrays so his shyness clearly isn't holding him back from leading his peers.

 

[TheBoss]

I don't think it matters if he is on the spectrum or not. It does not make him less of a person or an inferior player.

Everyone has their personal challenges.

for example. He had an amazing playing career and went on to become a premiership coach in spite of having significant mental handicaps!

Why are we even still talking about this

 

[Demon Attack]

He looks bloody good from the videos. He will be a brute after a few summers in the gym.

 

[markm106]

I love this pick. He is going to be a big unit. Already is for his age. Love that we picked a mid who can impact forward of centre also. Those players are worth their weight in gold. IMO can seperate him from the ones we missed out on. Other than Lalor.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if he ends up better than Lalor. He'll almost certainly be better early due to Lalor's lack of fitness (he'll take time, the way Trac did), but wouldn't mind betting that Langford has the superior career, too.

Any of the top kids from this draft could end up being the best tbh. Very even. I still think Ashcroft will end up having the best career. Just loks a real consistent player like his brother. F* Brisbane for landing these two with a bunch of 3rd and 4th round picks.

 

[MartinPrince]

excited about the overhead marking aspect he brings, him, trac and Kolt mixing it up could be lethal.

I have Kolt on the watch list. I think he'll be ok. I don't think he'll be a world beater though

Yeah the last three first-rounders we took scream A-graders to me ... Kolt looks the next level down, but I love his intangibles like his energy and attitude.

Yeah very happy with Windsor obviously, and Langford and Lindsay look mint. You can tell they will both be players

I like the look of this kid. Looks more of a forward than a mid to me. Could obviously pinch hit in the middle, but doesn't look to be the explosive speed type and also plays like he's never kicked with his right foot in his life. But as a mobile half forward and roaming up the ground he could be very dangerous. Very strong, poised, calm in traffic. Good skills. Has a lot of potential.

Won the Larke Medal as a mid – reckon he's fairly handy in that role

I just don't see him having the leg speed to be a permanent mid at AFL level - but pinch hit, sure. My money's on mostly being a forward. He seems very calm and poised in traffic, a la Pendelbury. Could be a pretty versatile player.

No slower than a Bont, Cripps, Pendlebury etc. We'll see I guess, but they haven't drafted him to be a career forward.

 

[El Sketcho]

I like what this video shows about his character, clearly understands the value of saying thank you and making sure people feel appreciated, even on a day when it could easily be all about him. Looks like a good lad.

Lots of good leadership qualities on display, hopefully he can back it up with his footy.

Braveheart, perfect choice, kid looks like he could be a warrior for us.

Lindsay looks like he could be very good too but I'm very excited about Langford, he just seems to have the intensity to be anything. Left footer too, can never have too many of them, especially around goal.

Loved these pics from training yesterday too, there's a new kid in town Trac

That was great. Seem like a great bunch of lads.

The first 15 hours as a draftee seems to involve being slapped on the back in a manly fashion by 30 people
