If we can somehow magic another selection in the top 10 Jhye Clark is the man.

I don’t think he is a good enough fit to burn the only top selection we have but as the companion selection he is some bloody good meat and potatoes.

I like him a lot too, I just don’t see what he offers that’s different to Caldwell. Not sure we need another Caldwell given our current mix.

I would absolutely take another Caldwell, let alone a Caldwell but a better runner.

How do Shiel, Merrett, Parish, Caldwell, Hobbs and Clark play together? Not to mention the draft capital required to get Clark. Just doesn’t make much sense to me.

Depends on how long term you are looking. Clarke offers more leadership and work rate both ways than most young players.
It makes sense if you are not welded to Shiel and Parish as your future.

 

[Vander18]

Cadman is very impressive. He would be very hard to go past if he’s still on the board when we pick.

Sheezel has power and real class/x-factor. Goal sense is uncanny.

Wardlaw is a beast - love his attack and power.

Happy with any of the above at pick 4.

Thought Hollands was very good today - thought he was the best mid out there. Don’t think he’s the guy for us but he’s a genuine two way runner unlike most of our small mids.

Konstanty, Binns and Hayes all impressive. McKenzie and Tsatas were underwhelming for mine.

Harley Reid is a freak. When Humphries was on fire, Hayes went to him and cooled him down. Yet could not do anything with the smaller, younger Reid in the last.

 

[The Prosecutor]

A bit disappointed that we didn't see any midfield minutes for Humphrey and Sheezel.

Even if we are to trade Parish I’d be looking at guys like Wardlaw and Humphrey before Clark. Spending top 10’s on small mids that aren’t exceptionally powerful is something we don’t have the luxury of doing no matter how good their other attributes are.

 

[foj1]

IS there any of those team first kids in this years pool you rate? I know ant555 mentioned Hugh Bond as someone who has that, anyone you rate later in the draft?

I have mentioned Hugh previously
he has played exclusively midfield for rebels but half back for vc
‘very honest and hard at it
lacks speed and agility but endurance terrific was an ex rower
i still think graham at 22 would be sweet
george drifting to 22 may be possible
i have really rated Jason binns final series and game today
outstanding work rate- athletics background and a nice kick

 

[andleanback]

He will be the best small forward in the comp for a lot of his career mark my words, whether anyone thinks that’s worth pick 1 is another story

That’s a huge call to make. Rankine has so much more talent than Watson imo and has still struggled at points early doors, and he is smaller and less athletic.

Watson is pretty athletic, can jump and very quick.

Well you haver given yourself away now.
Clarke does have plenty of inside grunt. He is only just smaller than Wardlaw and his game is all about work rate. He will be the one that will block for Hobbs and do his bit when needed.
He is not my number 1 choice but he is not the player you are describing.

 

[ant555]

That’s a huge call to make. Rankine has so much more talent than Watson imo and has still struggled at points early doors, and he is smaller and less athletic.

I think Watson has a bit more attitude in the way he plays compared to Rankine. He does not have the absolute X factor Rankine has but in what I have seen he is a bit more workman like with the same sort of speed. He has attitude. But then I do not rate Rankine anywhere near as highly as you.

 

[Milanista28]

Watson surprised me with the penetration of his kicking, he's clearly go some special in him, he's so well balanced also.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

If we can walk away with Cadman, Clark, Bowes, Davey, Munkara, Stocker, Graham and possibly a Bytel/Setterfield this off-season I’d be stoked.

Yeah.
It'd be a nice draft haul.

 

[bigcox13]

After yesterday I think we are going to end up with tsatas unless wardlaw slips if his hamstring injury’s are a worry? either will be a great fit. Hobbs Perkins Martin Durham Caldwell Tsatas or Wardlaw future midfield looks good to me

 

[andleanback]

Watson is pretty athletic, can jump and very quick.

I’m not disputing his athleticism, he also has a penetrating kick. Saying it’s not on the level as rankine’s.

I find their athleticism hard to split but that’s just my opinion

Don't we have some kind of testing that could satisfy this argument, say, a draft combine?

20m
Rankine 2.93
Watson 2.93

Agility
Rankine 8.03
Watson below 8.05

Running vertical jump
Rankine below 84cm
Watson 94cm

It’s pretty damn close

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Going back and watching the replay, I loved Hollands game. His high intensity running was the best out there, paired up with great physicality, he is a Geelong/Sydney style mid. I think he's top 5 for us. I'd be looking for a second first round to pair him with whoever falls to our first pick out of Sheezel/Cadman/Wardlaw/Humphrey.

yeah. high work rate, good two way game and he plays a tough game.

Athletic testing is nice and all but can Watson actually football?

I watched the game last night too and there will be a few gems taken in that second round I think.

 

[Dudoro]

GC out: Bowes, 7
GC in: ESS F2

Ess out: 4, 22, F2
Ess in: 1,12

NM out: 1
NM in: 4, 19, 22

GWS out: 12 (Rich), 19 (Rich)
GWS in: 7

Essendon take Cadman and next best at 12. NM get more picks while still holding an early pick. GC clear Bowes contract and get future points. GWS improve position as will have many picks after trade with Richmond
