List Mgmt. 2024 Mid Season Draft

[manicpie]

How good would it be if he could replace Cox towards the end of next year. Good as in, Cox getting another 14 months out of himself at AFL level and Smit progressing to that standard - with Steene also in the mix 2026/7 when Cameron entering his last year or two.

He's got good hands which is a real bonus

Melts would be hilarious - Lobb can reignite our bleach blonde group

With Bobby.

 

[barrackers]

Smith looks big and strong enough to possibly play this year. Long should also be in the same category but his kicking worries me

The question mark for me with Long is whether he has enough class. He can’t rely purely on his size the next level up and at times he’s lacked a bit of composure when opposed to classier mids in the VFL.

He’s dominated some games though, so glad to see he’s got another opportunity. With some concerns around Carmichael and concussion he adds some more midfield depth too.

With Bobby.

Bobby, Howe, Crisp, Lobb, Moore, & Elliott would be some crew.

Get Pendles in on it too

Really like the picks
You either pick a player to help win this flag or you pick one that will help you down the road

I know nothing about Smit other than to say it looks like we are going to develop an aggressive tap ruckman w height
Will compliment Steene who projects as a forward ruck
We’ve got Cox fir a least another year and Cameron fir quite some time so a great time to grab one we think can hone their craft for a number of years to then take over

Like others I’m not high on Long but he knows our system and could help us get through this injury crisis to get us to finals

They may not be “sexy” or popular picks but they feel right

To be fair, Teakle is only sexy when covered in treacle.

Or else he’ll get the gong

Hey.. we got him for a song.

He’s dominated some games though and is deserving of the opportunity

I reckon we'll be happy if he can help shield our running mids and get the ball out of congestion, which does well in the VFL, just needs to tidy up his kicking a bit

By the sounds of it, he runs in it as well

 

[Magpies Swoop Ya]

A big fat no to long

Will u eventually warm to Long ? Or will he have to prove you wrong ?

 

[jathanas]

jathanas will have a better idea on Josh through his junior years, but from an opposition POV from those days he was just OK playing as an unaccountable HB, at times.

I didn't get to follow Josh much after the Colts, but you're right. Of the 2, Callum was seen as the one more likely to do well.

Josh's basics (kick, handpass, ball pick-up, awareness etc) always looked very strong but he did miss a lot of footy; even back then.

Which pretty much proves the point that I was making

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

God who put this highlight package together?
A nice mark followed by an immediate turnover, a ruck contest and then a holding the ball decision.
Are they trying to get him drafted by Norf?

Lol

I concede already.

If he can get in and under and get the ball out to our better users, he'll be worth the punt.

 

[Go Woods]

Happy with our picks.
We better target best available KPF in the national draft in November.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

To be fair, just went and re-read what he posted and he did say there was no interest except maybe from us or Bris.

So I probs went early (unlike me!!)

He was wrong about Bianco & Ruscoe getting selected

 

[Apex36]

Hey.. we got him for a song.

Hope our recruiters aren’t wrong

Getting Smit, is this another nail in the coffin for Begg on the list for next season?

Last year of contract, knee injury, young ruckman replacement

 

[barrackers]

Bobby, Howe, Crisp, Lobb, Moore, & Elliott would be some crew.

Get Pendles in on it too

Was it Pendlebury on social media who said he’d go blonde if a post got a certain number of likes, but didn’t follow through?

I was hoping Begg could find another position...I've never been able to see how he'd make it as a ruckman.

Begg was gone regardless.

Brynn Teakle, sounds like something Geoffrey Eddlestone used to do to his wife.

He was a sick man.
