There was talk going around at the time too that Essendon didn't bother with any post draft stuff with the Tsatas family so Clarko and North took them out for dinner with the Wardlaw and Sheezel families. This may well have ingratiated us in the long term.

lol wtf, that’s so weird.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Is Trainor strictly a 2nd/3rd tall interceptor? Or does he other strings to his bow?

Does he peel off and become an offensive threat?

Can he be a swing man at AFL level?

Thanks in advance for anyone replying.

I remember Nick Larkey saying when Essendon interviewed him they told to count backwards and say words backwards

 

[cybercrab]

That's wild if true. Does anyone know how much truth there is to this?

I don't know anything about that but I'm pretty sure Elijah was on the trip to the US with George, Harry and Blake

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m beginning to think I’m the only person who hasn’t been taken out to dinner by Alistair Clarkson.

He's not going to be THE key defender in a side unless he builds into a physical animal like Sam Collins, Stephen May or Griffen Logue at that height.

On balance of probability, you would say he's going to be the 3rd tall defender.

Sam Collins is only 194cm vs Trainors 193cm, but Sam Collins is 99kgs. That's a long way to go

He's going to be much more like a Ridley, Sicily, Lever than a genuine key defender imo.

I feel when all else fails we reach out to giantroo for clarification.

Actually good point. I haven’t either. That makes two of us. Had some good chats with him but never dinner.
wtf clarko

Would you say that is a priority, considering what we are currently missing?

Re: Trainor, intercepting is still a part of our game that needs work. We rank dead last for them. He has it in spades, also has a beautiful kick and backs himself to take on difficult options.

Ziebell’s departure & LMac’s drop in form over the past few years has meant we lack anyone who can reliably roll off their opponent and take intercept marks that isn’t Comben. We also need as many good kicks as possible in our team.

I liken him to Harry Himmelberg, athletic, strong overhead and good foot skills (with the ability to go forward if need be but a better defender).

He's a 3rd tall interceptor with a nice kick. I doubt he's a swing man, but he does peel off and can rack up the disposals as seen in the national champs.

He'll be a gun and bfnaak

[Shinboner1]

Not Will Dawson he's 200cm. Agree regarding Biggie.

Dawson is KPD size.

He's also now training in the fwd line?

 

[RossHenshaw]

I thought he was visibly disappointed on draft night not to be coming to North with his mate George. I'm not a fan and don't see where he fits in.

i heard from a * supporter. His kicking has got worse since drafted.. they don't rate him

No ITK sources needed for this one. I feel bad for the kid.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Your meal will come.

Sign up for the GF Breakfast this year and have some muesli with him. It will be an intimate setting with only 2,000 other Shinboners for company

How does it work when you have dinner with Clarko, does the person who does the inviting pay?

 

[Jesslc]

It's happening The Nostradamus

Bailey Scott and Toby Pink straight swap should get the job done.

If we split our pick and had a 12-15, id consider it. Hes dominating vfl. Just needs to learn how to kick

Nah he's a ball butcher going back to his underage footy. I don't rate him, haven't since his draft year.
Sheezel and Wardlaw were miles head of him imo. Even Humphrey I think was a better talent.

 

[franjon]

I've read some really dumb sh*t on these forums. This one just obliterated the previous world record.

This is the Usain Bolt of dumb sh*t

I think the username is a bit sus.

Nope. Me neither.

That said, I did knock up a timber deck at his holiday house for him.

If his kicking is as bad as some on here say, I almost hope we get Tsatas & in a cruel twist of fate, he becomes The Nostradamus’ new whipping boy!!

Won't ever happen, old mate nostra wanted Tsatas over Wardlaw at the draft
