Grahams disposal for a inside mid is pretty good really. One game in the Champs he had 34 disposals at 76% efficiency
Monocle
And the rebuild begins.

He may well have had a good game at the Champs but he does have a reputation for letting himself down with sloppy disposal.

Good footballer , no doubt about that however I think his draft range is in the 15-23 range.
I haven't heard that we have been linked to him .

He was decent right through the Champs maybe a little inconsistent. But i give inside mids a bit of grace as alot of the time they are under pressure and build up alot of lactic acid in their legs by having players hanging off them all game.....In saying that i don't think Graham would be a good fit for us is too slow
Yes I get all that Monocle, agree that he is weak in the tackle, lacking core strength, but everyone has deficiencies. His strengths are what we play to, not his deficiencies. He so often runs when others stand still, and provides an outlet out of the defensive half, so we don't just have to bomb it out, and he keeps linking up play all day. He has good delivery into the F50 - ask JK. It's the opposition coaches that will try and maximize his weaknesses, as all coaches do. But the slanderous comments Masto gets on here are undeserved.
Yep, won't fault the Bolton pick, he's somewhat unique, adds speed, x-factor and goal kicking.
If it were me I'd probably go
13: Perryman or Berry
40: Fisher
55: Williamson
7X: Waterman
No bigs, could bid on Watson at 40, but happy with the value there.
I really like him - just because some people have him in a 15+ range doesn't mean he's a bad player.
Had some clutch moments in the Champs which I think shows a lot of character and if he can bring that to WC It'd be huge!
Credited with a burst of power, he'd add so much to our midfield in a similar vain to Shuey.
Can actually play forward as well! That is something massively lacking from our midfield is for a player to sit forward and actually impact.
I'd be so happy to get him - huge ceiling.

They wont get him. They seem to rate skills highly now which would be from Simpsons experience at Hawthorn.
What have we got pick 14 . Rawlings said there are 4 blokes they are looking at that they expect will be available . So They must have a list they expect are the top 17 so there may be a slider too come through
I suggest we will not win a flag while Masten is inside our best 25. We need Lord Nelson, Duggan, Sheed, Cole, Partington etc to step up and move him out.
Having gone to a lot of games live, he frustrates the crap out of me. Yes he makes himself available for a defensive outlet pass. Great. But he rarely looks down field and usually ends up kicking the ball deeper into the defensive zone. I appreciate we should look to his strengths but his negative impact on the flow of play is quite noticeable. I would cut him more slack if he was to use this elite endurance to run passed opposition late in each quarter.
But back on topic - if pick 12 = Gallucci = no Masten, then I will shift from my Berry, Brodie, SPP and Schrimshaw camp.
Despite a lot of Hawthorn mids (Sewell, Lewis, Shiels, Langford) not exactly being elite by foot
The Masten under the microscope thread will be like the Scott Selwood debate thread . I suspect he wont change any of our views then finally he will be gone . But heres hoping he fixes the spaghetti arms and releases the ball before he dazzles himself in a spiralling circle to be caught in the spotlight like a deer .
Twomey's phantom is up - he has us taking Berry
Agreed! SPP seems to also be rated in the 15 + range, however most want him picked with our first. Venables seems to be rated higher in nearly every phantom draft ive read.

Draft picks: 12, 34, 54, 89, 94 (likely to use four selections)
The Eagles will be hoping a bid for father-son prospect Jake Waterman does not come before their third live selection (No.54) so they can draft the goalkicker with their last pick. That would be the ideal scenario and not without a chance of happening. Quick and athletic WA defender Josh Rotham has been linked to their second pick, and he's a good chance to be available there. They could look to add some more run and drive across half-back and through the midfield with VFL player Luke Ryan, while Bailey Morrish is also a possibility as another dashing defender with a penetrating kick. The Eagles have also recently caught up with ruckman Sean Darcy who could be a project player later in the draft.

Just don't know how to react to this??? Seems like he will be a solid player, but a few others I would have loved them to taken a crack at, including SPP, Galluci (despite mixed opinions), Brodie (picked to go before and if available)
Tough year even to pick a phantom draft, but Twomey is generally a pretty accurate
Monocle

Ok lets agree to disagree on the value of Masten as you rate the collective strengths of his as being greater than the deficiencies.
Where as I view it the other way around.
Here is the Twomey top 30

I dont mind Berry for the fact he is big which is something different for us. Could probably turn him into an inside mid.

Imagine shock horror Brodie seeing his name against Freo in the Phantom. Same feeling as you would get falling down a deep and empty hole. He won't be sleeping well tonight.
Also have people saying draft player X - big body. Are we not beyond that sort of thinking?
