Player Watch 2023 Father Son player watch - McCabe, Dear and Maginness

[Strapping Young Lad]

Guys, I keep deleting posts referencing this, but can we move away from suggesting or making juvenile jokes about the bloodlines of players.

This is a public forum and parents of players do read here.

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Hope so!

All the boys are.
Not sure we’d get Nixie across the line though.

Twomey said on gettable that Dear is now just outside the top 30 in this draft based on his phantom draft.

Hope we've got ourselves enough to match any bids.

Given how many players come from no where outside the top 30 should tell you the media have no flipping idea this year!

Time for the AFL to invest in its future and put some funds into the under 18’s competition. Jnr games have gone to shit since Covid hit!

If Dear is nearing top 30, then:

1. Recruiters have genuinely very little idea on what's on offer this year
2. Recruiters are banking a lot on potential/blue sky
3. The draft crop outside the Big 7 is very poor


Given Jiath is rising to top 25, it also questions the above

Its interesting that both those players are linked to us

 

[NICE1]

Anyone have highlights or footage of Dear in action?

You'd be forgiven to think there is some sort of movement out there to make sure we pay full price........

Watch the sandy dragons gf 2023 on the app. In particular the last qtr Dear did a very nice job as a forward / ruck

Thing is he wont be anywhere close to a ruck at AFL level.

Not a full time ruck no! But potentially tall enough to cover as resting ruck.

An we’re not sure what his exact height is or if he will grow a little more over the next couple of years.

His father was quite handy as a back-up ruck at just 188cm. That would be equivalent to around 192cm these days. PD was a very solid customer and strong as a bull.

 

[Flukey!]

I'm a bit excited that Dear also now looks a chance at coming in.
That would give us not just another tall, but also a forward!

This draft could go some way to filling the gaps we need to fill.

 

[lyger]

Hopefully Dear won’t cost too much in terms of points, but it is exciting that he has come on from being a rookie prospect to a genuine national draft prospect.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

And that we can match no matter where he is bid unlike 2J.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

It would be a huge draft if Dear and McCabe turn into talls at each end of the ground. Exactly what we are lacking.

 

[TylerDurden]

If Dear makes it, it'll be one of the great footy stories.

Ohhh, I am so tempted. But I won't. I do agree with you, though.

Watched Paul win a Norm Smith in 91, very handy indeed.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Not a full time ruck no! But potentially tall enough to cover as resting ruck.

He’s likely only 194-195cm. He won’t be going anywhere near the ruck.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Not even Tom Hawkins style in the F50?

 

[kirbatron]

really hope his name is called... will be very emotional
