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 atm jones definitely has similar traits.

I'm also quite impressed by Darcy Jones. He opened the door for WA's victory against SA in their last game of the U18 National Championships and had a decent championship. He's now followed that up with two impressive performances in his first two games at the WAFL League level. While he has played as a midfielder, he certainly has the makings of a small forward as he can apply pressure. My only question is his stature. Nonetheless, If we want a pure small forward with our second pick, Jacob Konstanty remains the best possible selection.

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

So that's a no to Sheezel if available at our pick?

Quality little player is Darcy Jones. Would love him at the Hawks. Huge upside.

I want a KP forward who can excite us and another elite mid/hf

Jerome taller than Cadman

Anyone know anything about Liam Serong, the youngest of the 3 brothers who is eligible this year?

Not really much info about him that I could find.

For those who haven't seen him much, he kicked three in the Young Guns v Vic Metro game earlier this year and showed how well he moves and presents up the ground.

Wardlaws short kicking not great based on the Pies VFL game. Saw him live at school level amd walked away with the same query. Explosiveness and competitiveness off the charts. Will be a player and leader no doubt but still some polish to develop.

If you mean, winning four premierships and landing two norm smith medals, then sign me up

He absolutely takes no prisoners. Would love to draft that kid.

Close to zero chance you’d reckon. We’d need results to go our way on weekend AND Wardlaw to massively slide. Which is a shame as would fit us perfectly.

If we want him we can get him unless north do pick him first . I'm Pretty confident eagles go local to start their rebuild and our pick is perfectly placed for them to land Hewitt and get extras.

What are we giving up to get pick 2 along with our own 1st pick?

No doubt this post will be deleted so probably a moot question.

Brayden George named this week. Back for finals.

Any updates on tsatas?

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

If I were GC I would 100% be drafting Ollie Hollands although it would be a reach at their current 1st pick.

For the same reason they should have drafted both King boys.

He's been playing school footy.

Last week had 37, 10 clearances at 81 efficency.

Week before in his return from injury had 18, 3 goals, but was tagged heavily.

Absolutely, good shout

Should be a no brainer, especially given that the older Hollands looks like an out and out gun, could be the best player from that draft.

I didn’t see him last week but saw him the week before and noted down his possessions, would love to know your connections since you got his touches bang on!

I watched part of the Charger's close victory over Sandringham today, and wow, what a performance by Elijah Tsatas on return. He outperformed the likes of Ashcroft, Sheezel, Mackenzie, Clarke and Roberts. As for a potential player at our second pick, Olli Hotton led the Dragons 4th quarter comeback kicking multiple goals. As I said, I watched the games in parts due to the Box Hill game being on, so I'm not sure how Jerome Lawrence went, but I saw him miss a goal he should have kicked.

Bailey Humphrey kicked 4 goals straight from 11 disposals (all kicks) with 6 tackles last night. Would have liked to see more from him at stoppages, he was playing very outside for someone who is usually more crash and bash. Still, a great effort forward of centre got a few lucky goals but took some strong marks. A bit iffy with his disposals, hit some good targets but had a shocking turnover coming out of defence. While I'll wait on the scouting notes from Oak v Sand, I think MacKenzie would be a preferable target. I would love to get Tsatas though, from all reports his injury hasn't slowed him down at all.
