Wardlaw won't make it past West Coasts pick.

Wardlaw won't make it past West Coasts pick.

I read yesterday that he has had 4 hamstring injuries this year. He is a risk. His whole game is based on his explosiveness. We will see I suppose. Definitely think there is a chance.

 

[pushintheback]

He kicked 4. Yes one was a downfield and the other a chopping arms free he was a bit lucky to get. Did some absolute class things. Sounds like you are in the Brighton camp.

There isn't a lot of him very small. Very smart and super clean and quick. He is year 11 so has another year to hopefully grow a bit more. Goes into the middle for ball ups but didn't spend time as a mid.

I have no allegiance to either school so I feel like I have a non bias view of the game.

 

[TylerDurden]

At worst we have pick 6 now. At best, pick 5.

I still have us at pick 7 which is assured now?

Not counting Ashcroft.

I really like Cadman as a KPF for us (not that I think we get the chance now) because he actually accumulates footy up the ground. He regularly gets 20+ disposals. For a KPF to get up and support in the scoring chains is super valuable and he obviously works hard enough to get back involved with multiple shots on goal. We need better than 8 disposals a game from our CHF

I still believe Cadman is a chance to be our selection. Yes, the elite performances he's putting together mean it's getting more and more enticing for clubs to select him, but clubs may have greater needs. Despite that, if he's to get through to our selection, it will be very tough for us to pass up the chance to select him. We need an elite partner for Lewis, and he would be exactly that. He's a hard worker up the ground who provides great leads and can take a contested mark. He's mainly kicked big bags, being held goalless only on one occasion this season. His only issue is accuracy.

 

[TylerDurden]

Our midfield is so bad, we have no choice but to take another mid.

 

[Rob R]

Please get a midfielder. It doesn't matter who we get. Mark McKenzie, please draft a midfielder for my sanity.

And please an actual midfielder not a forward who can play there occasionally.

The biggest thing about Cadman I like is his competitiveness which can be lacking in big forwards. He has that in spades….we need competitive beasts with mongrel….we are lacking this big time

 

[Books]

Sadly I think the scum will take him ....

I think GWS would be keen at pick 3. They have no genuine KPP except Sam Taylor.
Himmelberg and Hogan can play good games, but they need more.
Cadman would suit them well.

Essendon's pick will be interesting. They need someone like Busslinger, but Dodoro will like the excitement of Tsatas.

He actually sounds very similar to Lewis, given Lewis’ work rate has grown exponentially. Does he have enough of a pint of difference?

From the snippets I have seen he looks a bit quicker. But I am no expert

[Hawthorn2023]

What's your info on Lawrence?

 

[chopflop]

A few draft videos I've now published. These are full game edits, so not highlights only.


George Wardlaw



Elijah Tsatas



Harry Sheezel

Some vision from GR for those interested.

 

[nelk boys]

Speed - Tsatas

 

[suburb whispers]

Speed - Tsatas

Not sold on his kicking skills. Seems to lack punch and depth. Kicks get to their target slowly.. Can easily be fixed though

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Speed - Tsatas

Number 29 in that video is our boy Lawrence, who kicked 5 that day.

Sheezel is exactly what we need.

 

[nelk boys]

Sheezel is exactly what we need.

Need to sort out our midfield first.

Doubt Sheezel plays much midfield at the next level, more half forward.

I'm taking Tsatas as the most explosive midfielder in the draft at 188cm, averaging 9 clearances a game.

If not Phillipou or Cadman.

 

[daniel23]

Watched a couple championship games and really like McKenzie, he Would be a real point of difference in our midfield.

Darcy Jones from WA is also someone I hope we target, smaller mid but pace and super elusive . It's Hard to compare anyone to shai Bolton

I also really like Jones at our second pick. Very zippy and has great skills.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Undecided between McKenzie, Humphrey or Phillipou as it stands. Strong midfielders with some size, skill, explosive and can have an impact in the forward line are what we need.
