Rawlings watching Glenelg V North Adelaide u18’s!

Who’s there that we might be keeping an eye on?

 

[Mav]

My lad…hopefully!

He would say, but guessing Moir and Ryan.

The Camporeale brothers are jets.

Hope he’s looking at Ryan.

Probably Moir though, his foot skills are immense, I’d take him in the second round if I knew we could turn him into a defender.

Whos Ryan

Apart from the top 10, which it isn't hard to predict it feels like some of these rankings from so called experts put together are just thrown at a board and where ever they land is the the order.
If Reid is quiet again tomorrow could he slide to 3? Talking like 3 is horrible spot to be in (Tongue n cheek) Is he still worth 2xFR & 1SR or 1xFF?

The top 15 or so prospects would be pretty similar on every clubs boards/rankings, albeit rated differently, after that though it would vary hugely. For example we rated Blake Drury inside the top 40 last year yet he lasted to the rookie draft.

 

[The Nostradamus]

The final game of the u18 Champs, the big one.

Sun, Jul 16

Victoria Country v Victoria Metro

IKON Park, VIC, 10:35am

Perfect just before our match

A chance to see the potential top 3 live picks Reid, Watto and caddy

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Whos Ryan

Bodie Ryan, Glenelg intercepting half back. Was one of SA’s most consistent players across the championships.

Na, not a defender.

It wouldn't hurt us to have three shots at a guys that fit that description.

Of course we did

I know a natural forward. We just don’t need his type up forward but love his foot skills.

With Freo’s demise can possibly see the Dee’s getting Reid now.

Could offer something like 4, 15 and Grundy to WCE and the Eagles who could end up up with Curtin and Tholstrup.

Don't worry about what they could offer the West Coast - the issue is would we be open to that deal should we finish last?

Reckon if Grundy were to leave would be to Port Adelaide. Most in need of a ruck especially while they’re in the window. Grundy doesn’t fit the timeline or needs of West Coast. West Coast would probably demand Van Rooyen or McVee but neither would be included realistically. I see 4,15 and 25ish/a future second being enough. Have the feeling it’s us or them just logistically.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Would hate for the Dees to get Reid. Another top four team getting a pick 1 talent.

They’d have no interest in Grundy . Zero

More like pick 6 and pick 20. Curtin won't be there and neither will Tholstrup.

Won't happen

Geez the cats are annoying with who they pick up and turn into quality.
Bruhn looking like an absolute jet. Bowes looks much better than I thought he would be. Throw in Henry and they’ve got more talent coming through again.
Yeah they’ve got older players, but that supposed cliff looking more like being a speed bump to me.

Cats are a very well run club. They target guys based on their profile rather than being drawn in to the performance of the player, they look for moments and traits and back their amazing development staff to turn them into stars. Max Holmes the perfect example of this.

Probably the exact opposite to the way we run our club .

Agreed. I’m a fan of our drafting in the past 2 years definitely and haven’t minded the last 4 or 5 years overall as a unit. There’s just so much to undo from the early/mid teen years drafting and development.
