Champion another goal, the WA recruiters as well as others seeing the glimpses of his ability.

Urquhart is everything Smillie should be with his size. Urquhart is legit bullying this metro midfield around the contest

My boy Sims with a goal for Metro. Plenty of upside in his game once he fills out.

Once he polishes his kicking, could be very good, he looks one of the more explosive mids in the draft.

Tom Sims having a much better game than he did vs Allies already. Has a presence it seems.

His kicking needs work, but his contested work is bloody good. Positioning and physicality all wrapped up in a 190cm frame!

Smillie to Sims resulting in a goal. Could that be could that be passage of play North could be very used to seeing in the future?

 

[The Talent Scout]

Malakai Champion with his 2nd. Has plenty of tools this kid. We just have to get a small forward this year.

Kako, Champion, Bradley, Berry. Have to get 1-2 of them.

They are the four, roos_fanatic08, spot on!

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Sims with his 2nd. Impressive so far.

Has a significant height advantage over the WA key defenders though. Towering over their fullback

 

[The Talent Scout]

Luke urquhart from WA is impressive

Kids a gun, only 16.

Might not get smilie as we are very likely to finish 2nd last as there's a huge chance we will beat Richmond and we are only 2% below them.

Smillie doesn’t have the disposal for a number 1 pick imo.

Jagga Smith finds the footy but his damage factor is nil. Kicking isn’t that penetrating and his handballs don’t release his teammates. Not sure he has the frame that will allow him to be a centre square midfielder at the top level either.

I think he’s 18. Nevertheless, has been very good so far this carnival.

He is eligible for this years draft.

Born 19/9/2006.

Yep urquhart is draft eligible this year

Turns 18 later this year

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Pat Retschko will surprise a few, one of those types that will be taken in the 2nd or 3rd round but will have a solid AFL career. Real reliable player can play all across ground, can win it on the inside and outside. Run hards both ways.

We need to get him. We have unfinished Urquhart business.

Love Murphy Reid, goes a bit unnoticed but always super clean by hand and foot. Reminds me a bit of Sheez (not trying to be blasphemous)

Finally we get the Urquhart who will be better than Pendlebury

 

[Merlin007]

good to have some sort of stream I guess, but there is an element of looking though a microscope trying to follow this game

GC academy prospect Leo Lombard in yesterday's VFL game:
Should most certainly be in the convo for pick 1.

Where does this leave us then? Is someone going to push up the board late?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Bo Allan will be a good AFL footballer, just has the competitiveness and
physicality that will hold him in good stead at the next level.

Split the pick or take Finn O’Sullivan.

We may still get some wins before the end of the year, so I don’t think the spoon and the number 1 pick are a sure thing.

Murphy Reid is class but just wish he was taller

If we had a tall midfield then I’d be all about him but I have hesitation on 180cm mids

He can probably play on either flank tho so is worth a look
