AFLW 2024 - Round 8 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
From limited viewing, Reid looks a bit Parish-y to me. I'm sure he'll be a good footballer but doesn't look overly damaging.Sorry, thought I was clear but evidently a bit vague. I don't think they're similar players as such, but in the same way McGrath was highly rated but has peaked as nothing more than a consistently OK player, I think Reid will be similar. For a pick right at the top of the draft, I think you want a midfielder who has the ability to dominate games, and I don't see that with Reid.
Like McGrath, I could see him ending up as an alright half back flanker.
Jagga also wore 7Mystery solved
Sid Draper wore 7 for SA
We traded Kennedy for a reason
Don't see those two as standouts at all.Ashcroft and O’Sullivan are the 2 stand outs , reckon the top of the
of remains 8 or so midfielders is Langford , most well rounded , tall 190cm + good vision, leg and mark and forward craft pretty good too.
TDK is class but still has some way to go to catch up to English. Besides, they could've played in the same team very well.In fairness if we took English we most likely don't pick up TDK. I know who I'd rather have.
I think Smith is the stand out. High ceiling, high floor, great attributes, well rounded, and has already proven he’s above the level in the VFLAshcroft and O’Sullivan are the 2 stand outs , reckon the top of the
of remains 8 or so midfielders is Langford , most well rounded , tall 190cm + good vision, leg and mark and forward craft pretty good too.
Nailed on DerWayne will say "he's got the moves like Jagger" in his first game commentating.I think I’m sold on Jagga.
This kid has got some moves.

Failing that, Draper, FOS, or Lalor all looking like they have ‘it’.
But, yeah, Jagga if he’s there at 3.
More. Proper environment diet and sport as their job. Plus being youngAnyone saying Jagga should not be prioritised based on his light build...
My god this may sound rude but weight rooms do exist for this very reason if you weren't aware.
AFL players can put on 5-6kg of muscle across 12-18 months easily with a professional diet and weight routine.
It should be the least of our worries.
He's the number 1 player in the draft by a mile.
I would be very happy if Carlton drafts either one.The highlights packages make Jagga and Draper look like absolute gun players.
Papley? Id say Lalor is a less explosive version of RaynorSeeing some comparing Lalor to mid/forward premiums like Trac and Martin but I just don't see it. If you watch their highlights from their draft year, the latter two, particularly Trac, already had way more agility and midfield nous than Lalor. If anything Lalor projects as a kind of general forward version of Tom Papley.
In terms of the side step id say O Sullivan but no one’s really like him. Maybe Murphy ReidWhich one of the mids is most Sam Mitchell. Don't care about pace I want a fast of mind and amazing kick with bony ass elbows and hard to tackle. Give me that midfield visionary so Cripps can bull Walsh can receive and run and Cerra can sweep
To change tact... Who are we wanting at our 2nd pick if we can avoid a Ben bid rendering it useless? I imagine we'll look to boost that up to a pick around 30 rather than 38.
Some quality KPD options and flankers in that range.

They could do 10+ kg a year easy (as a uni student I did 20kg (12+8) in 24mnths. Very low base tho )
Thing is, reckon jagga goes before our pick
Parley? Id say Lalor is a less explosive version of Raynor
Yeh I think he'll be gone by 3 also.More. Proper environment diet and sport as their job. Plus being young

20kg in a year is wild. How many calories were you eating a day?

How BC has dropped in the phantoms is insane. U18 AA, best player in the U17 game last year. Everyone is looking for the next DeGoey or Tracc. Carlton pick Cunners over Dunkley for this reason looking for X factor over the guaranteed best 22.I'm happy letting everyone know that we wont match it...
As long as we actually would match it. No one can tell me that there are 38 kids in the draft better than Ben. If he wasn't a F/S (and thus other clubs put minimum time into him), and he didn't get iced at the end of the year he would go around pick 20 IMO.
