Would anyone consider Humphrey or Phillipou over MacKenzie?

Phillipou definitely would consider himself over them both

Would anyone consider Humphrey or Phillipou over MacKenzie?

Based on no empirical evidence at all, I would be happy with either Phillipou or McKenzie over Humphrey.

 

[Bugs1977]

For me, it's the decision making and vision that sets McKenzie apart. He's a great user and knows how to bring others into the game.

He's exactly what we need but unfortunately with where we are in our rebuild we also need a Sheezel and Phillipou too. We have many holes / needs which with our draft we cannot fill all at once.

Phillipou/McKenzie this year, Reid Next Year

Sheezel comes home and plays rd 1 2025

Easy get in two years

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Can’t be an elite pen if it wrote the dollar sign in the wrong position

That was the phone not the pen, pen still good

Any idea how interested we are in Ed Allan? Guy seems like a supreme athlete who could be anything. Would be surprised if we don’t try to get pick him before fremantle

Can they acquire him as a F/S?

not eligible for f/s

 

[eldorado]

Nope, played less than 50 there

He has so little exposed form but is a naturally talented footballer with elite traits so hoping we take the punt on him especially if Mitchell is going the long term route

So easy to go back and forth between he and the Pou. McJenzie looked super sharp in the biggest game of the Chapiomships, his decision making and breakaway burst of speed are obvious. I’m not unhappy with either of them. The better players will be gone, but they’ve both got standout abilities and are the exact type we need (tall, quick, midfielders). McKenzie more advanced and cleaner looking kicking technique at this stage. Pou a smoother mover.

 

[Hawk1986]

Didn’t realise Vickery was a R2/3 chance

 

[MasterSamurai]

I'm none the wiser after that.

 

[hardway]

Resembles a right footed Zac Merret.

 

[matey]

As with many on here would be happy with either Macca or Winnie but whoever we pick it will probably come down to assessing and making a judgement call on character and personality traits. If you look at last year our first choice Ward comes across as smart, hard worker already a professional in his approach to training and life off the pitch. Very self driven. A few have said this before and I agree.

 

[Hawk1986]

Like how he really drives his legs to get out of traffic

 

[TylerDurden]

Hearing GC are very keen on Humphrey.

Understandable they need to replace Rankine. They are light on for small and medium sized forwards

 

[I got the outside word]

Hearing GC are very keen on Humphrey.

Ah, great, Geelong can slide to 5 for a future 9th round pick. Gold Coast love a shit deal with them.

Good, Humphrey is the only one I do not want
