Harry Perryman today on SEN - https://audioboom.com/posts/5312023-harry-perryman-on-afternoons

What a bloody legend! As country as they come and very likeable. Will end up a cult hero at the club.

Interesting article from a while ago, about how date of birth impacts likelihood to be drafted - but not necessarily likelihood to be a success
http://m.afl.com.au/news/2015-12-28/born-to-be-a-star

A more thorough analysis could probably be done.

I wouldn't be surprised if our academy graduates underperform their draft pick position on average, especially those with good coaching from an early age.

We could easily end up taking a player who looks a "smart footballer" compared to their peers, when really they have had access to better coaching.

Don't get me wrong the academies I'm sure are a net positive.

Just saying we should be cautious about matching bids if they come quite early, when there might be other players still on the board with a higher ceiling but less well rounded due to coaching.

He's also a pies supporter...

I heard that interview.

Absolutely top bloke and you're right.......a country boy who has that marvellous ability to be totally genuine and at the same time unintentionally hilarious.

Listening to him, haven't had as many good belly laughs for a long time.

And I wouldn't be at all concerned about him being a Pies supporter.

Blokes like him are reliably loyal once you have them in your camp.

Part of me thinking just Dodoro playing his usual games

But...

It's weird to see the one you're not picking last.

Little surprised to see that Gary Buckenara rates Cumming as a first round talent

Last chance stan at the academy

Mutch & Cumming are heavily overrated by Bucky IMO. Perhaps I'm underrating them, but just don't see them as #13 & #14.

 

[_GT_]

Perryman and Bam Bam look to to be thick as thieves. Good for the settling in phase, bad for the coaching staff

I'd think it makes more sense to see the one you're not picking last - you tell the guy you're picking first, and then tell the other option(s) that they aren't your pick. You don't want it leaking and your first choice finding out secondhand.

But on the otherhand they are not obliged to tell the ones they are not picking anything, whereas they will definitely tell the one they are selecting.

The longer the time the more chance a family member says something.

That all said the talk is really strong its McGrath for them and Taranto for us.

Where is the talk that we will select Taranto?

Anderson, Quayle, Twomey

My little contact at the club reckons we love him.

Tell you what though that McCluggage does look a freak...how you overlook a kid like that is a bit beyond me but they must know more.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

What's the point of trading up if we're going to pick Taranto, when the clear no. 1&2 are McCluggage and McGrath. If we really wanted Taranto, could have stayed at 3 and still got him.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Listening to Mark Evans this morning the draft penalties still very much in play.

Found another journo to hate in Francis Leach who led Evans by saying "The draft is this Friday so I assume they are going to pick up a penalty that will impact them this year..."

Typical Group 1 flog obviously trying to do do anything he can to survive the great SEN purge. His boofheaded illiterate co-host Schwarz has reinvented himself as a red necked GWS hater to curry favour with the VFL knobs and cling onto his job.

Don't disagree at all. I like Taranto but the top 2 definitely look the best from their bodies of work.

I think that if we do go with Taranto, it may have been a change in mind post-trade period.

Because there is still a chance to get McGrath, nobody knows what will happen come draft night. Heard whispers that HMC more of a flight risk and Taranto is not.

O'rourke and plowman were less flight risks than grundy and wines but who looks like mugs

While I'd hoped we'd gone beyond picking mates to minimise flight risk, always good to have exceptions in place.

Twomey's phantom draft
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-11-23/callum-twomeys-2016-phantom-draft
While he does have us going with Taranto its interesting to note

If not him? Ben Ainsworth has been long linked to the Giants' No.2 choice and they have identified the need for a small forward. If McGrath gets past the Bombers the Giants will take him, while they also recently interviewed McCluggage again.

 

[Andre the Giant]

No penalty this year you beauty!!!

Safe to say we will lose a few draft picks next year, but we will now have 12 mths to plan for that
