AFL Player #25: Jaxon Prior - Welcome to Essendon!

[eth-dog]

Dons sign ex-Lion, Narkle a Docker, Dogs to trial VFL champ

A former Brisbane defender has landed at his father's old club on the first day of the pre-season supplemental selection period

www.afl.com.au

Officially signed. 189 cm medium defender, likely competing with Cox and Laverde as that medium defender role short term. Hope he can get an early shot and take it.

Good signing.

Our solid but not spectacular offseason continues.

Does this leave one spot for Baldwin if his body holds up? Have I done my maths right?

Unpopular opinion but I hope we dont bother with Kaine


Could be a good contributor but feel his body just cant hold up

I am actually of the same opinion. Would rather keep the spot open for kid year draft.

You're talking as if we won't have a LTI by the time the MSD comes around. We've always had at least one spot open for it anyway.

Welcome Jaxon!

Answers my question I posted yesterday about him

 

[dank420_]

Nickname is Michael (Jaxon)

 

[DERO]

Welcome Margaret.

 

[carnthedons]

Had hoped his dad’s old number would be available for him

[Duckworth]

or Michael Prior? wait... is that his dad? or is ET his dad, I'm confused.

It works on so many levels you see

 

[Atavistic]

He's played in a finals win.

Michael Prior? Well there you go.

Is this guy any good? Best 22? Why did he get cut and what are his good traits/ areas for improvement

 

[carnthedons]

Michael Prior? Well there you go.

Yeah more about the bloke wearing it at the moment moving on than anything else

 

[Call Me Cake]

To be fair not many players would be able to crack that Brisbane side.

Comes in as solid depth and at 23 has scope for improvement (to put it in perspective he's younger than Martin).

He was behind a few good medium defenders at Brissy. Solid at most things.

Is he a good kick?
Do you reckon he'd have been best 22 for us this year?

Given the whole ecosystem crumbled when Duursma got injured Prior would have been a very nice replacement as a fat side winger given his long kicking, tank and ability to slide back and support the backs.
