Draft Profile 2018 Mature Aged Prospects

[eth-dog]

So can anyone tell me about Rich and Corbett? Heard they’ve both been going very well in the VFL, what kind of players are they?

Rich is a good small forward who's got clean hands below his knees and good skills. Corbett your medium forward who's best work is inside 50 but has a dynamic lead.

Are they fast with reasonable field kick ?

They're pretty quick from my viewing, but Yoda_ would know more about Rich than I. I have only seen him a couple of times.

Kicking in general field play is what can let Rich down. Fast, powerful small/medium forward who packs a real punch with each possession. Frankston fully expect him to not be with them next year

Whoever needs a freebie. Experienced ruck. Dirt cheap. Plug and play.

Depending on contract situation I could see us axing Zac Smith and picks up Clarke

Anyone know how Jack Roughsedge has been going this year in the VFL?

 

[Grav]

Who would be the best mature ager from any of the state leagues as a high pressure, tackling, harassing small forward?

Doesn't have to get a heap of the ball or kick goals regularly.

Feast your eyes on this young bloke, as soon as I saw these highlights I tried to get as much info on him as I could.
180cm 86kg. only 21yo and currently playing at Warragul Victoria, inside mid, wing, hbf and have just read up that he is pretty handy in the forward pocket aswell.

 

[sherrif]

We do, for 1-2 years while Tim English develops so being 29 isn't the huge hindrance it presents for most clubs.

Ive seen Clarke play for Subiaco this year a couple of times and he is just a cut above WAFL level ruckman. Leap and kicking are brilliant for a big man. Seems to have regained his elite athleticism compared to even afl ruckman. It could be that he has finally fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered at a music festival a few years ago, as he wasnt the same athlete his last two years at Freo compared to the year he filled in as No 1 ruck when Griffin and Sandy went down. His output when playing as our number 1 ruck would probably surprise non freo supporters as he was very good when playing that role, he just didn't get to play that role very often. I think he'd be a great pick up with a late pick for GWS, Western Bulldogs or Richmond. He was very, very skinny when he got drafted and was always going to be a player who played his best footy in his late 20's once he had filled out. At 28 he would provide great value for a team over the next three years in my view.

 

[Ambrosia]

With Luenberger possibly retiring I'd happily have Clarke at Essendon as as Bellchambers has durability concerns and Draper is unproven.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Hopefully Ben Cavara gets a go.
He was Vic Metro captain in the U18s and solid VFL player since.

 

[Soups]

Anyone know how Jack Roughsedge has been going this year in the VFL?

Has played only a handful of games this year. Think one was quite good, other than that quiet. Not sure if he’s been injured?

 

[Grav]

For you West Australians, young Michael Coombes had a phone call during the week to join South Fremantle next season. More than likely will be taking up the offer if he doesnt get an AFL offer.
So thought I’d share a couple more videos from last season at St Marys so you can see what your getting.





& in this one on a very wet ground at the 2.50min mark he was reported, which he is a bit embarrassed about, but it shows just how strong he is.

IF GC lose May.. surely he gets a go...

Instead of the comments and trying to get PP's for bottom sides .. give the bottom sides the ability to hold a few extra players.. They fear that adding matures will prevent their long term future. Giving bottom sides another 18 year goalpost of a kid to get bashed up is not much help to my mind.

Cody Leggett bog for Perth yesterday.

Not the place but a club asking for a PP must trade said pick. A kid is no use to a struggling club where as an established star is everything to said club.

Yep, will work Dragovich into the top 30 and take it from there.

Thought Pickett was reasonable. 24 disposals, 6 tackles, 5 hit outs. Not at his elusive brilliant best but fought hard against the tide. A good sign for him.

Apart from Drago , I think Sokol will work his way into your Top 30 also .

I dont mind that either.. the GWS type picks.. have said as much before. My only issue is that the club loses a bit of traction as all know they must trade.
Overall my preference is to get struggling clubs to be less reliant on hand outs. Ess Geelong Haw Swans.. all have found players late ..dont tell me they aren't there.

Overall I think the draft needs a major tweak. It really doesnt not supply enough players to clubs out of the finals mix. There should be a standard that is based around finals appearance... Not finals for 3-6 years and you get a start of r2 pick or something like that.
