We just need Sheezel to blow the psych interviews

Need to start a rumour that due to his Jewish faith he can't play on Sunday's… except for Hawthorn because that is his holy of holiest loves

 

[I got the outside word]

Need to start a rumour that due to his Jewish faith he can't play on Sunday's… except for Hawthorn because that is his holy of holiest loves

Lucky Hawks are the exception here.. Sunday is the only day we get to play.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Get on board while you can.

George Wardlaw - (Oak) - 182cm 81kg - bull at a gate midfielder, win first ball or smash the guy that does in a tackle, energetic, tough, aggressive, good speed, competitive, wins contests, 2nd efforts, runs both ways, can be very impactful with poss or without (a small unknown on accumulation because of injury/illness interupted season), likely pick 2 because of injuries/illness

Harry Sheezel - (Sand) - 184cm 77kg - highly skilled forward who can push into the midfield with good disposal numbers, bullet like passing, good movement through congestion, strong mark, good goal sense as a forward, averaging high amount of goals per game at NAB League level, likely to go pick 3

Elijah Tsatas - (Oak) - 186cm 79kg - high disposal outside/inside midfielder, great athletic qualities, good movement on field, its a shame we didnt see him in the champs, but he has looked really good from the games i have seen him play, maybe his disposal can be a little sloppy at times, line breaking skills, high work rate, likely to go top 6-7

Jedd Busslinger - (E Perth) - 196cm 82kg - intercepting defender, good disposal (high DE% kicking), good decision making, good spoil when needed, didnt play on star KPF's in champs so question marks on defensive capabilities, moreso a interceptor type, surgery on shoulder halfway through champs, up there with Hayes as best KPD in the draft, likely 1st round/top 10?

Cam MacKenzie - StKilda NGA(Sand) - 187cm 80kg - a bit of a bolter this season, increasing his value from a sml defender to a productive midfielder, similar to Cadman who also increased his value a lot this year, speedy mid, breaks away from congestion, inside/outside game, he can either win his own ball or be fed the ball and get a clean clearance, high work rate, competitive, likely top 10

Mattaes Phillipou - (WWT) - 191cm 83kg - a forward who has shown an ability to play midfield, good goal sense, burst of speed, but generally one paced, can find space out the back for a joe the goose goal, strong mark and good height, good positioning, finds first poss in midfield and can feed team mates by hands, kicking in general is good, can go in and out of games so work rate could be an issue? likely top 10?

Mitch Szybkowski - (Dand) - 186cm 84kg - inside mid who is one paced, good positioning, good work rate, good decision making and skills, strong mark, competitive, good tackler, strong build, other than lacking some run and carry potential, he has almost no flaws, likely 1st round

Anthony Munkara - (NT/W Adel) - 186cm 77kg - quick, agile, moves like a Rioli, great goal sense, a natural x-factor talent up forward, his game for AFL Academy shows what he can do at the next level, his games in the NT and sanfl u18 show what kindve instincts he has that apply so well for football, had 1 champs game where he seemed like he didnt want to be there and didnt play anymore after that, i have seen enough to know he could be something special, just hope he wants to play AFL, likely 1st round/2nd round?

Adam D'Aloia - (WWT) - 186cm 86kg - inside mid, wins cont poss, feeds clearance players/runners, goal kicker, good decision maker, mostly plays midfield only, one observation i made at GMHBA was that his knees seem to invert a little which is a possible injury concern(medical) performs the last 2 years at a high level, won the SA MVP and didnt even play his role in every game, likely late 1st/2nd rounder?

Oliver Hollands - (Murray) - 184cm 71kg - outside player, good run and carry, good disposal, had a big champs break out game after being injured this year for a bit, brother of the recently rising star nominated Elijah Hollands, liekly 1st round/2nd round?

Could you see us taking Humphrey at this stage? I know I have pumped him up a metric ton, but I'd still prefer Mackenzie, Clarke, Cadman and Tsatas to him. Apart from his injuries he hasn't put a foot wrong in my eyes, just needs to go to the Punky school for goal kicking and he'll be a star. But up in our range pretty much everyone is either a gamewinner filled with x-factor or an uberconsistent workhorse, so I'm not sure if we risk it on the limited exposure.

One thing is certain, I'm gonna be happy with whoever Mark Mackenzie and the boys take. They sure as hell know more than me.

I hope Busslinger isn't the one @ pick 7 for us, not that I've seen him play but that sounds a lot like another DGB.

 

[SSSSSS]

We just need Sheezel to blow the psych interviews

 

[westhawk]

I hope Busslinger isn't the one @ pick 7 for us, not that I've seen him play but that sounds a lot like another DGB.

is a clone of DGB, we don’t need any more defenders, have to take another mid.

 

[VandoHawk]

Could you see us taking Humphrey at this stage? I know I have pumped him up a metric ton, but I'd still prefer Mackenzie, Clarke, Cadman and Tsatas to him. Apart from his injuries he hasn't put a foot wrong in my eyes, just needs to go to the Punky school for goal kicking and he'll be a star.

What is Humphrey's field kicking like?

 

[TylerDurden]

Season over. Could slide now.

 

[TDS7]

What is Humphrey's field kicking like?

From what I've seen he is good at the short stabby kicks but can blaze away a bit when going long. When he has a target he seems to hit it well, but he's a fan of the long bomb forward. I'd say his kicking is similar to MacDonald, good in space but under pressure it can falter.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Season over. Could slide now.

Unlikely as everyone seems to have seen enough of him to form a positive opinion.

 

[Books]

Unlikely as everyone seems to have seen enough of him to form a positive opinion.

Clubs may also be wary of spending an early pick on someone who may have suspect hamstrings.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Clubs may also be wary of spending an early pick on someone who may have suspect hamstrings.

Yeah maybe. We took Ward pretty early with suspect concussion issues though.

 

[nelk boys]

Yeah maybe. We took Ward pretty early with suspect concussion issues though.

Repeated soft tissues are a bit different. Wasn't like his first hammy was a minor injury either.

 

[perrdan86]

Repeated soft tissues are a bit different. Wasn't like his first hammy was a minor injury either.

I think it is something that could have a bit of an impact.

I had a friend who went straight from high school to the Queensland reds and he had multiple hamstring issues during those years of playing year 12 and the first couple of years at the Reds.

Those hamstring issues never got sorted and he had to retire after just 3 years of going from high school rugby to Super 14 rugby

 

[pushintheback]

Clubs may also be wary of spending an early pick on someone who may have suspect hamstrings.

Unlikely he will slip outside the top 10. If he does, trust me everyone will say what a steal he was.

 

[Tomohawks]

Yeah maybe. We took Ward pretty early with suspect concussion issues though.

And he's had another one this year. This is still the only concern with him.

 

[TylerDurden]

Unlikely he will slip outside the top 10. If he does, trust me everyone will say what a steal he was.

We'll have pick 6. Could get there now.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Watched caulfield v Brighton APS game today. Incredible game ended up a draw.

Wasn't impressed with McKenzie be very surprised if he was top 10.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Tasmania Devils star Seth Campbell had a big performance today in the Tasmanian State League, tallying a haul of 10 goals. If we keep our third-rounder in the draft and he's on the board, I would almost certainly select him. We could use another small forward.
