AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
I haven’t been overly happy with ADW so far this year, has 2 or 3 nice moments in a game but hasn’t been consistent in his impact and efforteDPS why is Archer Day - Wicks not spoken about higher? He and Langford (of the Harveyvariety) seem like (they) have AFL qualities
makes sense, does Travglia (spell?) take the limelight away?I haven’t been overly happy with ADW so far this year, has 2 or 3 nice moments in a game but hasn’t been consistent in his impact and effort
Not really they play in different areas of the ground.makes sense, does Travglia (spell?) take the limelight away?
I want a powerful impact type player, even if inconsistent, ADW seems like someone you could take a punt on late
From what Laura Kane mentioned on SEN there may be some changes this year with the points system although it may be a bit premature as like you mentioned the clubs have been in discussion with the AFL but they do not know exactly what the details are. It may be better to announce before the trade period this year what the points system will look like for 2025. I think the discount is on the way out from what I hear.Clubs simply don’t know.
My guess the biggest change may be clubs trading a first rounder for more points.
I don’t think this is the issue.
I would take away the discount and make clubs match 100% at any draft position.
For example bulldogs would have had to fork out 3000 points for juh not 2400.
I don’t think any changes should be made this year as clubs have tried to strategically plan a year or two ahead.
I watched joe berry again today and I really like him.
Speed, neat left foot, defensive intent and took a nice contested mark.
Would be our best small forward very quickly.
Tyson stengle would obviously be handy.
Its just whether he can be more than a half back, think hes shown he is a very capable midfielderThe player performance that stood out to me the most so far was Travaglia vs SA. His movement and skill set screams high end AFL quality. A Blakey/Whitfield type. If that's a not a one off these champs, he should go early.
Its just whether he can be more than a half back
I believe he played onball on the weekend and kicked 3 and had 28 disposals in a loss
That's a good sign. I was really impressed by his competitiveness and contest to contest work. Played a both tall and small. At worst I'd think he'd be a really adaptable defender.
Langford's game was very good too, mini Bont-esque. Classy on that left. Wonder if his pace around the stoppage is an issue, reminded me a little of Szybowski in that regard but certainly has a stronger outside game.
Draper's been interesting too, hard to project what type of player he'll be at the next level. He's prolific but a little too ball hunty around the contest, left some Parish like holes when he didn't win it. Outside game was very good, but not sure what role he'd play other than general mid.
Worked with a Hawks supporter that was talking up his nephew a couple of years back, an aggressive and athletic forward/ruck - Kayle Gerreyn
Sam Lalor looks like just the ticket for us.
he is the one I want probably more than anyone with our firstSam Lalor looks like just the ticket for us.
YesCant see how they csn bring it in for this year with a lot of father sons/academies at the top and already planned for
But yeh scrap the 20% for all bids
I did see something along the lines of picks above 40 not having any value of points, which i like aswell. Barely 55 being drafted as it is anyway these days
ydc55 seen much of Pat Said?
Was good today.Sam Lalor looks like just the ticket for us.
Gross has a little bit of Toby Greene about him but I prefer berrys speed, agility and kick.I also like the look of Joe Berry.
Having said that Tom Gross is probably a little bit bigger and brings a bit of the same stuff.
Wont be available after 40Isaac update ydc55 please ?
I still have him 20 to 40 unfortunately for the bombers.Isaac update ydc55 please ?
Contested marking dropped off the shopping list?Speed / skills / defensive transition ability .
