And he could leave for tassie in 2028 for something like a pick 15+.

He could stay and win a Brownlow.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Plus the Judas trade has diminished down to a straight swap for pick 3 (Wardlaw).

You can look at it that way or you can say Judas was traded for Wardlaw and Sanders.

 

[The Nostradamus]

No chance:

undersized at 192cm
poor 66cm vertical
poor 3.296 20m
poor 8.794 agility
fairly good 720 yo-yo

192cm is fine for a chf

I’ve liked his games this year has impact in air and on ground

For a late pick seems worth it to me

And the sun could fall from the sky and incinerate us all tomorrow. I hope to God it happens soon

Is that before or after the game

Definitely agree. I think one of the key things we need to focus on (and have no choice but to do so) is ensuring improved ball usage across the field, and prioritising getting the ball into the hands of the good ball users.

Good teams find a way to enter 50m through their best ball users - our issue is we don't have enough good ball users and those that are don't deliver it inside 50m nearly enough. I think we add to the quality of use by foot by adding (hopefully) Reid and Sanders. Whoever else we select with McKay compo will be a good user, whether it's Curtin, Watson, Duursma or McKercher.

Our top inside 50's per game this year:
LDU: 4.93
Zurhaar: 4.69
*TT: 3.91
Simpkin: 3.82
Hall/Scott tie: 3.50

How this compares to other best ball users in the comp:
AFL Inside 50 Leaders:
*1. Gulden: 6.92
2. Parish: 6.24
*3. Rozee: 6.09
4. Petracca: 5.95
5: Dangerfield 5.88
*6. Warner: 5.84
*7. Bont: 5.77
*8. Dawson: 5.68
*9. Shai Bolton: 5.59
*10. Butters: 5.27

The * denotes players I'd consider very good ball users. I'm a fan of LDU, Zurhaar, Simpkin and Scott, but they're not our best ball users - Scott has improved but he and Simpkin are still in the lower half of ball users in our team I would think. We need it in the hands of guys like TT and Sheezel going inside 50 more than others.

This is one reason i'm keen to keep Powell, he's one of our better decision makers and ball users going inside 50.

No, it would be Judas, "assistance package" & McKay compo (if band 2)
for
Wardlaw & Sanders

I'm not saying 192cm isn't fine for a CHF. I'm saying that combined with being poor in basically every athletic trait suggests he's basically no chance of getting drafted.

There's no way he's finding the ball at AFL level because he will get no separation and isn't big or strong enough to contest in the air.

192cm

Does anyone know how tall Tyler Sellers is?

spot on hellas_johnny, Brody Mihocek and same vibe - get him on the list

Are you just going on pre season test results or have you actually watched him play? Check out his National Champs games. He was influential in the forward for VC. Big tank, def strong enough in the air, great footy IQ and looked athletic to me? I think he’s more than a chance at late pick.

Dodgy KFC at the last Chaddy mods meetup?

 

[northbergs]

Does anybody contemplate that we would take O’Sullivan with pick 2? (Assuming McKay compo).

But is getting just under 16 possies and 2.8 inside 50s a game. He is not fit enough.

Lies. Don't you remember how well Ben Warren made it work?!

(Or was that Warren Benjamin?)

 

[DuckYeah]

If we have to match sanders pick all our decent picks 17,39 will be eaten up
We will be left with takings the dregs

I believe if Sandders is on the table, they’ll bend the rules sowe can use later picks plus late future picks

I think a trade back from 2 would be more likely! im a massive fan hope we can snag him somehow

It’s been a bad year for him that for multiple reasons never got going. Get him fit, utilise his strengths and we’ll be a better team for it.

A few * posters are ripping into Tsatas because he can’t kick..

Had a laugh at that. Remember when they Won the draft with their 3 top ten picks? Reid, Cox and Perkins.

 

[Arathrawn]

Looking forward to today's game less than any game this year.

Harley Reid is a serious footballer. Talent to burn, swagger, attitude and tough.

Yet I never want to see North lose.
