Forget Welsh ....he's another 4 years away minimumWhy would we?
Fogarty, Thilthorpe and 2024 first rounder Tyler Welsh coming through.
You also forgot Nankervis, who Reid also mentioned.Reid mentioned Seedsman, which was interesting.
Dawson, Jones, Seedsman, Smith, Milera, Sholl, Soligo, Cook with other kids like Taylor coming through.
Yeah I know you can throw anyone on the Wing but that's not really what I was asking.
Out of those lot you have
Dawson- Our preferred KPD because he can kick and mark.
Seed- enough said.
Smith- it's not 1999
Soligo- have him on ball every day.
Jones - Not fare. I Dont know what he is just yet, but he's definitely not a Wimgman.
Milera- Maybe one day, should he manage to better his pre-injury form(doubtful).
Taylor- onballer.
Cook - Maybe.
Sholl- For now.
Cupboard looks pretty average to me.
Lemmey as a swingman for a late pick is a sneaky draft wish of mine. Even more-so if he's available in the rookie draft.Forget Welsh ....he's another 4 years away minimum
I think we should always look for good KPP bargains ..... so ATM we have Fogarty, Thilthorpe, Himmelberg and perhaps Murray at a pinch .....yeah, i'd take Lemmey as a late pick, looked ok playing DEF too
Would appear to me a perfect "project" player .....late draft or rookie, as you sayLemmey as a swingman for a late pick is a sneaky draft wish of mine. Even more-so if he's available in the rookie draft.
He will be long gone before then surelyWould appear to me a perfect "project" player .....late draft or rookie, as you say
Probably some club will take a gamble on lemmey with a late pick .....it'd be a no lose gambleHe will be long gone before then surely
Not if Cal Twomey is anything to go by. Not in his top 30 from 2 days ago. Or his "Next 10" article posted on AFL.com today.He will be long gone before then surely
Just look at Fog.It seems a given that talls take longer to develop at AFL level
But if at 17/18 years old they don't carve up national championship matches the same leeway is not afforded...?
Glad I'm not the only one who thought many wanted Fog jettisoned ....although, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone now admitting to itJust look at Fog.
Literally many posters on here wanted him off our list during this year. I dont think we managed him well and it took him longer to reach a level, where he has the potential to rip apart an opposition defence on a regular basis.
Nankervis?… he’s looking very promising as a wing/half forward type.Yeah I know you can throw anyone on the Wing but that's not really what I was asking.

I'd maybe look to trade back in around 40, if he's there.Would appear to me a perfect "project" player .....late draft or rookie, as you say
I think the options are -
Hinge
Jones
Cook
Nankervis
Milera
Dawson
Sholl
Taylor (may struggle for midfield time)
That's already a lot to wade through.
Nankervis, Hinge, Hamill could do it.

So you're suggesting Poulter is that AFL standard Wingman .....if I've read your post correctly
You prefer Poulter to Hinge, Cook, Nankervis, Soligo, Dawson ?......hell, I'd even take Sholl over Poulter
There's a reason a player gets delisted after his rookie Contract !
Reid on the "Sensible Crow" podcast, made a point that trading #23 was for two reasons. One on points for Max Michalanney, but also opening flexibility across two drafts, and the ability on draft night this year to be able to trade back in should there be the desire too to grab someone that slips down.

Vader … just checking how deep the loathing still runs for Fog? Still not possessing enough AFL traits? Not capable? Too narrow a skill set? Wrong era? Where did you end up … let me guess, you always thought he could do it if he applied himself
Many more on here wanted him out. Even most of us pro-Fogsters were hanging in by our fingernails. It got pretty dark before the dawn.
My criticisms of him always revolved around his weight, fitness, and work rate. To his credit, he worked his arse off with Burgess to resolve these issues - as well as working with the psychologist to address his lack of confidence (which I hadn't noted as an issue).Vader … just checking how deep the loathing still runs for Fog?

Vader wasn’t the worst. That was Jeff.
But still, those types never admit they were wrong, the turnaround shows they were right and that eventually the penny dropped for player XYZ.

My criticisms of him at the time were 100% valid, and it is his work on fixing these problems that allowed him to blossom late in the season.

I actually think Hamill is least likely.I'll pay Nankervis. I think he could play as a true winger at some stage.
Hadn't considered him.
Yeah I think out of our young brigade, Hamill is our best possibility. Unfortunately I don't see him playing long enough to make it out of our back line.
Hmmm. Hamill not only can break the lines with his pace, but is a very good user of the fooball by foot! I hope he is able to remain fit and free of further concussions.I actually think Hamill is least likely.
Shows some good defensive skills, but makes so many errors by foot that I think he's probably not going to get there.
Not sure where this myth about Hamill having a good kick came from. He is generally horrendous by foot. In 21/22 it was rare to see him ever hit up a clean target.Hmmm. Hamill not only can break the lines with his pace, but is a very good user of the fooball by foot! I hope he is able to remain fit and free of further concussions.
