Also going by Brady we only had 4 on our draft board otherwise would have passed

So we rate him highly

can’t complain tonight both could feature heavily rest of year particularly teakle

We never seem to have many names on any draft board.

Would like to see our mid season draftees arrive at Arden St in helicopters, Brian Peake style, as saviours. We need some hype and delusion.

Hansen made his debut last season.

Hansen has already played.

It was so forgettable, you’d be forgiven for thinking it never happened.

He did not?

I just googled his stats.
He actually has. Wow

1 kick on debut. F***

We have a cycle of need at the moment where we are and keep playing blokes before they are anywhere near ready.

from our current list by my count there are only 2-3 blokes who haven't been significantly impacted by injury that we have not just thrown into the seniors. Goad, Maley and Free.

I have next to no doubt within the next month we will see Payne in the AFL. Ready or not he'll get a crack.

Think about the luxury of Larkey playing an entire year in the VFL. It felt wrong at the time he was playing well enough for seniors, it likely made him a better player in the long run.

Spitta was similar, Boomer played the bulk of 2 years in the VFL before getting a proper crack.

We get kids in we have list holes to plug and they go out ready or not to see if they can lift to plug them.

It is not going to change anytime soon because it is the lot of a side travelling poorly trying to leverage it's way out when we have stripped basically all senior players out of the side.

This thing that we are doing, it is the long way and it is painful and it is going to take years.

Free missed a couple of games after his 2nd concussion for the year. I’d switch him with RHJ in terms of guys that haven’t seen Senior football not impacted by injury.

Free did his shoulder last year which ended his season early- probably the reason we gave him another year

Was our best debut of any non first round draftee since 1998.

 

[ReverseKanga]

Caleb Ernst surely available at our second pick as that KPF

McLean is a waste of a pick would even rather Tyler brown, declase, hately, Bianco, or collier Dawkins in that case as mature bodies

Caleb Ernst got dropped this week for Coburg. As usual you were right again and have a great eye for talent.
Change your name to “The Brady”

Free & RHJ are busts let’s face it we ducked up again.

Yeah but they were only midseason and rookie draft selections. A lot more misses overall from those drafts.

RHJ hasn't worked out but Free was only drafted as a third-string ruck to sit in the VFL and only ever get a game at AFL level in the event of catastrophic injuries. That's hardly worth putting in the category of a bust.

Doubled Choppy’s stats on debut…..

Sadly year 2 has not gone quite as well.

If that was true then it would reflect poorly on the drafting as he's not even a good VFL ruckman.

We drafted a bloke to sit in the vfl? Give it a spell

Jacob Blight with 20 disposals and 9 marks in his first VFL game today. Looked great.

Meanwhile Payne has opted to decline our offer and remain an apprentice.

People shit on west coast, but they've been really good at picking players of need in the last few years.
Its why their side is competitive on a good day

Every side is competitive on a good day - otherwise it’d be called a bad day

Saad El-Hawli was one of Essendon’s best in their loss to Box Hill today too.
