2011 Draft Prospects

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

will only ever be a flanker........he is tiny. I am probably not as sold on him as others but he has a lot of his old man about him. Loves a contest, wont take a backward step, has a bit more pace than Jim did but desperately needs to get some size about him. the old man was a stocky sort of bloke so every chance he will fill out. Every chance he will be a midfielder of note and will have the engine to do it.

He is not disimilar to Ben Sinclair or a Sharrod Wellingham from Collingwood.

Thanks Snoop.

Good disposal?

 

[Snoop Dog]

Thanks Snoop.

i wouldnt call it elite. must remember he has another year to work on it before drafting and there is more and more evidence to suggest kicking technique is an area that can be refined with significant benefit. I think the Champs will give us a really good feel for where he is at.

Bolded seem contradictory.

yeah fair point but i see flankers and mids as all part of the rotation these days hence the reference to Wellingham as a similar type. if you want an exact spot then will guess more wing but he is one that has a fair bit of development left in him so to early to say I think.

watch out for the name emmanuel irra......will have a lot of excitement around him.

Watched him at the SA U18s internal trial in February. An impressive talent.

GWS mini-draft eligible.

Not sure i agree that he has 'the engine to do it' as all TAC & AIS test results dont support this statement.

What i would say is he is quick, very quick!

i think he had the fastest 20m time at this years TAC cup testing day!

anyone heard anything on Joe Daniher lately?
Does any one know if any of the other boys from the Hird academy look like pushing for a selection in the drafts in the next few years?

test results I have seen seem ok but lets wait and see I guess. Has some time to improve them all.

Joe had a clean up on his knee, will be back playing later this year!

There's a Williams going round as an underager for Eastern who might be considered in 2012. Tweeddale could well get rookied this year. A couple of the other Academy blokes come with good wraps. Time and the TAC Cup will tell.

Are TAC testing privy to regions or common knowledge? Know there were a few surprises with testing among a couple of teams

Not sure if the results are common knowledge...

my info came from a parent who attended testing day!

The top five results for the Knights' beep test and legspeed were publicised on the Knights website.

Buckley ran 20 metres in 2.84 seconds.

Endurance won't be a problem if Yarran can play as a sweeper after three pre-seasons.

Like you said, Dylan is a Buckley, so he could follow the steps of another son of a gun in Murphy who isn't a giant. The likes of Betts, Blair, Edwards, Garlett and Jetta haven't had a problem playing AFL as short people or skinny outside players. Has a good frame that will fill out. If he's a good kick, I hope we use him down back like Gilbee or Harbrow to bring some skill and run to our backline. Could eventually replace a retired Scotland who did some coaching with the Bullants last week.

The risk i think with Buckley is his decision making. In nearly game I have seen him I just think at times he tries a bit to much and as a result can 'murder' the footy. Whilst I dont think its going to stop him getting drafted its an area he has to work on. If I think of guys like Didak and Thomas from our Club they both had those issues early on. To both their credit they have fixed them so I think its something he can change.

go to school with him, although not in the same year.

he's a key forward with good fitness, speed, jump. he is very athletic. He is pretty agile for a key forward. Fair mark asnwell.

Thanks for that , I see Tomlinson is around 192 & around 86 Kgs , which although tall does not exclude him from playing positions other than key. Does he a play a more lead up role or more a pack mark type? Does he ever play on ball? If so what's his beep like?

When does Champion Data release the top 25 prospects normally?

Isn't there normally a top 25 prospects thing in the AFL prospectus? It should be long since out by now. I don't own it, but someone else might be able to have a look.

Why GWS passed on signing Shane Kersten and Todd Elton as 17 year olds I'll never understand!

They can still Draft Them Early as they have the 1st 3 Picks

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Elliott Kavanagh Midfielder 185cm 72kg Western
Jason Williams Utility 188cm 74kg Calder

Myles Bolger is very very good ruckman, keep hearing about Longer & Elton, would put Myles a class above.

Going to be a good year for ruckman.
