So long as we have a pick for Jevan Pou next year, I say trade out all the Futures!

from a different game


#16 Jevan Phillipou
Forward | 180cm | 30/03/2007


Stats: 19 disposals, 11 marks, 4 inside 50s, 1 goal


Phillipou was back to his usual self on Saturday, providing a capable link-up option on the attack and also getting dangerous inside 50. The bottom-ager’s clean hands and ability to lose opponents with pirouettes helped manufacture chances on goal, either by snapping towards the big sticks or centring to the hot spot. Phillipou was not afraid to use either foot and got good range on some of his kicks, although he shanked a 50m set shot after the half time siren and copped a nasty falcon hitting up at a bouncing ball in term four.


... pirouettes you say? I'm having deja pou

Just when you think you don’t hate Fox Footy enough…

You can be pretty bloody confident that the reason there is only 1 club in the top 6 picks (North) looking to slide down, tells you that there isn’t going to be a tall take outside of that pick.

This draft is very much looking like the cream of the midfielders are going in the top 7.

Melbourne have effectively guaranteed themselves a gun tall at 9. One of Trainor Armstrong or Tauru

Richmond will take 2 mids in their first 2 picks. Whether that’s 1&2 the 2 best kids or 1&6. So the best kid and the best slider - which is likely Smillie right now.

It isn’t rocket science. The order is firming right up.

If we traded for pick 2 and kept 7. Then shit might change. As north come in at 8 - so that might impact Melbourne at 5 or Richmond at 6 knowing they won’t have their choice still available at 9 and 10/11.

Sorry oh great one, clearly I'm just an idiot then.

after the paddy stuff, I just don't trust doctors/agents when they say there are no long term effects to their player, that they're not at an increased chance of concussion etc. Based purely on vibe, one concussion is ok, 2 not great but maybe bad luck, 3+ and I'm getting cold feet

Absolutely

Can they bring in a brother-brother system next year

I didn’t say you were an idiot.

I wasn’t implying that at all. But you wanted to discuss the impacts of what we might get at 7.

If North aren’t in those top 6 picks - it’s highly unlikely a tall gets called out unless Richmond or Melbourne panic.

 

[ScrappyDo]

1. It’s highlights
2. That will come under even more pressure at League level.
3. Even as highlights did you see that last kick?

Hopefully he makes it, but no one with functioning eyes could think that technique is not below par.

Yes it's below par. Should that stop us from yaking him?

Lol they're absolutely taking the piss. Carlton and Freo as flag contenders when one missed finals and the other might as well have?

Haha yeah we go down despite our development and improvement towards the end of the season because we lost battle and Tom Campbell!

I think they imagine teams who finished underworlds improving but can't imagine where we can

really?we look worse than essendon at this time?

 

[hangdog]

I've got it on good authority that he signed a deal when he joined our academy that he would only kick on his opposite foot, expiring preseason 2025, but anyone worth their salt in here would know that

Back in my cricket days, my mate used to troll the opposition by throwing with his left hand for the first few overs before piffing in a rocket the first time they try take on his arm.

 

[akaifu]

I like this (even though I don't agree with most picks)

 

[HeavenlySources]

I heard he is likely to have an inconveniently timed back injury just before the draft after putting together a top 10 pick season. We'll have to just do him a favour and pick him up at our second round pick out of charity.

 

[Joffaboy]

Wake up. We also lost Seb Ross and James Van Es. Coupled with the losses of Dunstan, Billings, and Bytel of recent years, we will be lucky not to get relegated.
