It's about the positives. You got the gentle version. If it was a really bad suggestion, Carl would have gone in with a baseball bat: "You're a complete moron with absolutely no idea. That guy's a dud. He'll get knocked back by Mangarook thirds."

If they read this board they'll never again pass on a key back with terrible kicking. That was Aaron Naughton.
Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide October extra: The 10 next best
AFL.com.au's draft guru Cal Twomey looks at the players who were unlucky to miss being in October's Phantom Form Guidewww.afl.com.au
I would be quite interested in Kayle Gerreyn. My type of forward.

Reads well.
Realistically, if we we're going kpf at our pick range, we've got the prototypes in the team - the kind who slip down the draft order.
McStay - a big bloke who contests and can clunk a mark, but isn't athletically impressive.
Checkers - undersized but competes in the air and has a ground level game to go with it.
I really don't want the guy who blitzed them in the combine sprints.
I should change my post from “ often” to “as often as not”.
just depends on what time series you look back over.

I suspect the powers that be might have intervened on that front.
Probably, but his opinions aren’t on the money enough to justify the arrogance and condescension that come with them, so it’s extremely satisfying when he gets it wrong. His calls on Mitchell at the end of 2022 were particularly satisfying to witness.
Checkers ground level game is close to best in the business for a key forward. The number of goals he kicks from less than ten metres using brawn brains and an immovable centre of gravity is an underrated feature of his game. Anybody who can replicate the strength that checkers has in his thighs and glutes with skill to match is worth looking at

Yes. They were fixed in his first year with us and he never had issues again, much the same as when Josh Thomas had the same surgery.
I seriously doubt that Scharenbergs completely separate knee issues will put them off drafting anyone with navicular issues.
I do agree Charlie Nicholls sounds like a future afl star just going off the name lol. Happy with any of Nicholls, Sims, Stumph, Gerreyn with one of our picks. Don't see how Sims lasts. Like the look of Kennedy as hopefully a late gem mid. Dennis is the draftee I am most invested in. Very impressed with what I have seen.

You need to remember that in an even draft like this, different clubs will have wildly varying ratings, particularly once the 30s come around. We’ll inevitably be seeing players taken in the 30’s that most were rating 40+ and we’ll probably see players taken in the 40’s and 50’s that some had rated in the late 20’s.
No point in writing off a player like Sims’ availability based on some power rankings, because it’s almost guaranteed they’re going to be insanely inaccurate come draft night.
Yeah he had some poor moments in the first vid

Scharenberg had surgery to remove sesamoid bones from his feet, more towards the forefoot, whereas tha navicular bone is closer to the ankle.
Schaz then had his ACLs, poor bugger.
Going by what Choco & Carey said about him, he could have been anything, but was screwed by injury.

If I ever write a book about an AFL footballer, his name will be Charlie Nichols. He'll star early. There may be a few scandals and a couple of years lost to cocaine and prostitutes. But he'll deliver glory in the end. Get him and a good scandal manager, Leppa.

As long as we take Clancy Dennis to help balance the bad with the good. I couldn't imagine a clancy ever doing something bad

The book could be called "Redemption And Glory - To Hell And Back".

Solid plan, I never liked that guy anyway. Nothing good comes from Weribee.

I come from Preston, I married into Werribee unfortunately
I had to do an inspection at Werribee plaza back when they were building it. It was over the dry months when the ground shrinks, dropped my car keys in a crack never to be found again.
My main criteria for a KPP.
Only topped by “Fearcely Competitive”
