I see Dudley came third in Centrals best and fairest . Rookie him I reckon
I always liked Dudley but his best position is on the back of a horse at Morphetville.I see Dudley came third in Centrals best and fairest . Rookie him I reckon

Langford's got a POD that might set him apart at AFL level but whether he's got the ability to turn games is still a question for meLalor,Langford i would say are match winners
I agree there are lots of his with a POD but that doesn't necessarily mean they have the game changing abilities. Sheezel, Watson, Naicos and Will Ashcroft were extremely consistent in showing they could impact games off their own boot.I think you're underselling the top of the draft. Plenty to like there. In their years, Harley Reid and the Hornet were mouth watering but the rest of those names weren't considered match winners. There are a lot of guys with a lot of point of difference too.
I don't hear anyone saying this draft has 10 generational talents. People are saying it is deep to 40 and you can get Top 20 talent through to 40.I agree there are lots of his with a POD but that doesn't necessarily mean they have the game changing abilities. Sheezel, Watson, Naicos and Will Ashcroft were extremely consistent in showing they could impact games off their own boot.
Again, there'll be plenty of players that a core at clubs from this draft but whether there are 10 generational talents like recruiters make it out to be is something for me that remains to be seen
behaviour from Benny. These nga/father son types need to start throwing more.State combine testing over the weekend
Benny Barrett ran 2.913 seconds in the 20m sprint. He was the quickest in the state combine.
In the AFL national combine he would of came 3rd. The quickest in the national was 2.815 seconds by Gabriel Stumpf
Jacob Molier (ruckman) came 2nd in the SA State Combine 20m sprint with 2.920 seconds

With both Soldo and Clurey set to stay, forget about drafting rucks and KPDs.
Inside mid, winger and small forward possibly the 3 positions to draft.
Can't poach him at the magpies now that McLennan has moved from central'sThat's surprising. average 1.1 goals a game 5 kicks 4 handballs and 3 tackles.
Ive always liked him and noticed hes got his weight down to 74 kgs (168cm) but didn't think his input was there this year.
That said we will list less talented players.
I would love him to have a run at the Magpies.
We've already got 3 rucks.Anyone seen Jacob Molier from Sturt?
201cm ruck, just turned 18 a few days ago, so he's a bottom ager.
At the State Draft Combine he had the highest vertical leap, second fastest 20m sprint.
According to what's on the internet, he palms the ball pretty well to his mids, can take defensive marks, can get his own clearances, and his disposal efficiency is quite high for a big guy.
Project ruck, perhaps?
Clearly, Hodson is Sturt's main ruck, and was SA ruck in national Champs, and is older. So Molier plays as back up ruck, but seems to be coping with that ok.

Yep. All good apart from the kicking.I like Taj Hotton, however watching his highlights his kicking really worries me
