I don’t get the hype about Laurie. Has shown nothing at VFL level. Looks like a Spargo with worse connection or a short Melksham. Yet to trouble VFL level defenders or even look dangerous in the VFL.

Freo drafting Corey Wagner is interesting.

Why do you post with such certainty when you have so little idea?

Just the 30 and 3 against Geelong amongst other strong showings. The VFL is a strong league, you don't have to kick a bag every week to 'show something'.
Not sure there is hype around Laurie. Chandler is probably ahead of him for a small forward spot, officially elevated to the senior list today.
Picking a player at 38 can be a bit of a lottery. But Adams looks to have some good attributes. Possibly slid given his injuries and already playing senior footy is a good sign.

Are Viv MichO and Danster Bell the same person? Am I a bit slow on the uptake here?

Amazing at the melts at pick 38 lol. That kid actually looks great in his draft tapes and anyone who can play down back can also play down forward...
The very last mark in the vid is from full forward, wonder if he has spent some time there. JVR started as a backman also.
Of course he would say that, his trying to buy him time. It’s not as if Laurie did an ACL or anything either.
His been on the list for 2 years and hasn’t looked close to cracking into the seniors and sits behind Spargo, Chandler and probably Moniz Wakefield in the pecking order.
If he isn’t close to getting a regular game by seasons end I think he would be getting close to delist material. Considering we need at least 4 picks in next years draft.
Smalls are meant to come on quicker as well, it’s not as if he is a Jefferson type who will need 5 years to develop and not be built enough to get a game until Petracca is over 30

I agree with Micho on this one. Averaging 17 touches a game for a team that dominated every week isn't all that great. Stats aside, he is slow and looks terribly unfit and is carrying excess weight. He's also hasn't seemed to have put on muscle in 2 years. I'm sure he has but he still has no chest and lacks any definition in his arms. I also think he is a delist candidate at the end of next season.Why do you post with such certainty when you have so little idea?

His first year was ruined by injury, his second year we actually didn’t debut anyone who hadn’t played AFL before which was an obvious error by the coaches. He put up good vfl numbers for most of the year, if he still doesn’t crack the team next year then I’ll be concerned but now? Nah.
Edit - we did debut Turner but still were far too conservative in selection

Digging into the why
I'm more impressed with Adam's highlights than Jefferson's but I guess you always pay a premium for athletic key forwards.

Sure is. Love an underdog story so maybe third time is the charm.

Would have liked it if they showed us a few one on ones defensively, some spoils. But yes, his intercept and contested marking looks very nice. Saw some vision of him as a forward on an extended highlight reel the club put out and he looked good there also, seems he can time a lead and is a decent set shot.

If he isn't any good by now at nearly 26 I cant see him suddenly becoming best 22. Josh was a far better player than Corey imo and even he wasn't great.

That's fine, but its rubbish to say he's "shown nothing" or that he's behind AMW.
You just got Danstered... the master of hyperbole.

I think we knocked off some needs this year and next year we likely trade the second rounders for a pick like GC 22 and can really target some best available forward and midfield talent.

each to their own. I am more excited about AMW personally also. I think for Laurie to get there he needs to improve his speed dramatically, his power dramatically, his strength dramatically and have a bit more mongrel in him in general. I'm not ruling him out, but I think this season is do or die for him personally.

Yeah agreed. We will need to match a bid for Kynan Brown who could go anywhere from 20-40. So we'll have to have some later picks in order to do so.

So who does everyone want in the rookie draft at 3pm today? I'll say Jed Hagan, Anthony munkara or Jovan Petric.

Had a terrific year playing down back for Port Melbourne in a Sinclair type of role. He looks a vastly different player than the one we would remember from this years highlights package.
