My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 27, Highly Evolved

 

[Keystone agony]

I cream my jocks at the thought of having Ryder, Myers, Watson and Heppell feeding Atley at stoppages.

The bizarre thing about North is that they need the run in their midfield and they could do with getting some defensive accountability on their half back line.

Wells, Harvey, Gibson give them enough run through the mids (ultimately waiting for Wells to return).

I see Atley very similar to Brodie Smith. I think both will become midfielders but right now their importance is providing rebound and speed of the half back line and through the wings.

Atleys a quality player and will become even more so. You can tell by his balance. I think hes a future wingman not necessarily an inside midfielder but we are yet to see him in that role so its hard to say.

Lets just say I wish we had pick 8 and 18 that year.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Why? They're two completely different players from completely different sections of the draft.

Getting Atley at 18 was an absolute steal for North, and to carry on about something that they're rightly thrilled about is a) pathetic and desperate; and b) really ****en pointless: Heppell has no relevance to North, they had a 0% chance of drafting him at 18.

You're becoming a parody of yourself.

I'm beginning to think that's the point.

Mullett being dropped a few weeks ago was baffling to me. They literally have the perfect guy to free Atley up and not have any real defensive loss from Atley not being their #1 stopper.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

On your main point though Bruno, Atley would be ideal for our midfield. Genuine pace around the stoppages is a weapon few have.

who actually here gives a dark about Shaun Atley?

I don't.

We have a Heppel who is a ******* gun

i was thinking it was like top gun. Ill just put on the brakes and they'll fly right on by mother goose.

 

[Essendonia]

Good job to fight on and take advantage in the fourth.

Just posting to note that Bomber described him as a "fantastic man", which could make for a nice title.

 

[Wattos Waste]

Love the way Hepps spoke on the FS, definitely future captain. So composed!

 

[daffo]

BF chance. Has been huge the last month.

 

[Oh Tayteridge]

Why

 

[Oh Tayteridge]

Simply no

 

[daffo]

Ok. We'll see. Others are saying Hooker is a chance. I think Heppell will finish top three for sure.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Simply no

He's a massive chance. Top two ATM for sure with Hooker.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

IIRC that was in response to something stupid that was posted. I can't remember what it was though.

Yeah spot on

 

[Lance Uppercut]

wonder what odds you'd get on him winning a Brownlow before he's 25, a la McIlroy's dad?

I put a pineapple on him at $34 a week ago. Now he's in to 20. C'mon 1700 smackaroos!

Will be interesting to see how he polls. Just can see Goddard nicking votes off him. Will win a Brownlow one day though!

This would win me over $3,000! Pleeeeeassase!

Good work! Question though, it says the 26/9/2014 on your Heppell bet??

Cheers, here's hoping! That is pending, must be the night of the Brownlow.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Probably separate bets lol. Ha a bet on Essendon making the 8 into JPK top 3 Brownlow. Mind you I don't bet on footy much.

 

[Doss]

Cheers, here's hoping! That is pending, must be the night of the Brownlow.

Brownlow is the 22nd of September this year.

 

[Santoz]

He was fantastic last night.

Within 2 years he'll be our best & most important player.

Hibberd 2nd ...
