Did the classic dumb draft prospect mistake when evaluating a non-white player: the comparison player is also non-white.

Leo Lombard = Touk Miller
Isaac Kako = Izak Rankine

Are we to really believe Touk Miller is really the best comparison for Lombard across the entire league? Or could it be that they just happen to look more like each other so therefore it feels like they play similarly? I don't know myself, but it seems lazy to me.
If we had a professional media, they would have a rule that if they were comparing a non-white player with a similar looking non-white player, then they should have to try to think of the next 2-3 players they think also think are similar, and the decide out of the total 3-4 players who is actual the most similar.

To be fair, they should also do the same for white players. I am sure there are occasions where white players are compared to white players when they may play more similarly to a non-white player.
 
He is performing.

Just a victim of early season form/circumstance that he is performing up forward rather than in defence where we had openings.
Gotta wonder how much was the reserves coach as well. Leaving for family reasons sounds like Swans pushed him out and weren’t enamoured with his approach.

After the delistings etc.

This is where we are at (although I always defer to Robbieando. He is amazing)

If you look at the Sydney 2024 List you will see we are
Primary List 32
Cat A 2
Cat B 2
Total 36.

We only have 4 ND picks (19,22,44,58). So we can only draft 4 players max. Unless we do some splitting or swapping future picks to draft an additional player.
I reckon we are going for a list makeup of 36 main, two Cat B (Kirk and Edwards)and up to 6 Cat A. The Cat A we have is Hanily and Buller. We have apparently said we will re rookie Francis and Hamling. That is 4 Cat A.
So I reckon we go to the Draft with 4 Main list picks and up to 4 rookie picks(probably 3). We usually like to have one up our sleeve.

Thanks

I think these moves indicate that we are going back to a 36 player senior list which is the we like to run with.

That would mean 4 National Draft selections (3 live picks plus the academy pick) and 4 Cat A rookie picks (2 live picks and Francis and Hamling being redrafted to the rookie list)
