[Mutineer]

Looks like Bicks is on his rags this week

No I answered why the Edwards lads, Roo's lad, Campo's lads play for the club's they do, Roo and Tyson both played for West Adelaide, Campo played for WWT...why their lads play for the team they are zoned to is down to where they reside.

Whoever was in charge of picking 2 evenly matched sides obviously failed spectacularly.

2024 SANFL U17 Futures Match Wrap - SANFL

sanfl.com.au

Team Blue defeated Team Yellow by 66 points in the SANFL U17 Futures match at Adelaide Oval.
After a back-and-forth start, West Adelaide’s Mitchell Marsh opened the scoring for Yellow at the seven-minute mark, before Blue responded courtesy of two goals to Redlegs forward Fergus Myall.
A long-range goal from Sturt’s Harley Barker saw Yellow cut the margin to two points at quarter time.
Two early goals to Central District forward Cameron Nairn was the start of a strong second term for Blue, with majors to Lucas White (West Adelaide) and Sam Cumming (North Adelaide) helping to open up a 22-point margin at half-time.
Blue’s dominance continued in the third quarter with goals to North Adelaide’s Jayden Hawkins and another two to Nairn, while North Adelaide ruckman Ethan Herbert kicked the lone major for Yellow.
Glenelg’s Tim Alver slotted a classy major from the pocket and finished it off with another after the full-time siren as Blue ran out comfortable victors.

A moments pause for the page number.........

 

[FR0GGY]

You were absolutely wrong, the reason all the the lads play where they do is all down to SANFL zones.

So how do you know where Tyson lives?
Or more to the point how should we know where he lives?
Is there some rule he’s not allowed to move that we don’t know about?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I've had a look at all the potential Draftee's at our #4 pick

The question in my mind, is which player suits the way the game is heading .....and our current Midfield mix

Do we need the power & Dusty like qualities of Lalor .....or that in close & breakaway speed of Draper

Lalor has the positional flexibility, which Draper doesn't .....has he the speed & aerobic capacity to two-way run at AFL level, against midfield's that are getting quicker each year ?

Mutineer, Jeffcrowe might be able to throw some light on the above

I'd be happy with either Lalor, or Draper

It’s a fair enough question

I’d say the aerobic capacity and the general body resilience and conditioning is the thing Lalor needs to work on

Not worried re his speed and I think his speed / power thing is a strength

If you are looking at traits to suit modern game I think Draper has all the athletic traits ie speed / endurance mix with a fair bit of agility also , but he breaks down when it comes to kicking IMO

So … each player has their own shortcomings in that top 7-10

Looking at modern trends and the current best team sydney …they have elite kickers and just dismantled port by not giving up the football when in possession so Draper does have huge question marks in that regard

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Off to the Brisbane Lions...

CTL Grand Final Medal to Brisbane Academy's Sam Marshall...don't think he's spent too much time developing in Brisbane's Academy nut!!! Moreso at the Sandringham Devils in the CTL and Melbourne Grammar in the APS Private Schools AFL system.

He’s an absolute star and should be higher on peoples draft boards

He’d actually really suit us with his running , kicking and balanced inside outside game

Shame

Just give it up FFS his kids were tied to Glenelg because they resided in Glenelg's SANFL metropolitan zone.

Same reason Fogarty and Pedlar played for Glenelg via their SANFL club's country zone

Same reason Newchurch played for North Adelaide, it's their SANFL country zone.

For the record Tyson is a real estate agent at Ray White Glenelg and has been for some time.

Yeah seems like a real natural footballer, clearly a big game player, too. Think I might have underrated him a bit

Yes the point being and has been the whole way along, is the only way the answer was “obvious” as you said, would be to know where Tyson and his lad live, which 99% of people on here wouldn’t.
We all know there are zones.
Stating where he works has zero relevance.

Geez, taking Smilie at our pick would be very uninspiring.

Interesting, though I think some of those talls might go a bit earlier.
