Player Watch Aiden Begg (Delisted 2024)

[whiskeytown]

Cannot believe we got him honestly. We have gaps everywhere in our list but one. The one position we are fairly well of in is the ruck/forward with Grundy, Cameron and Cox.

Will have him on an 18 month deal. Meanwhile at years end they’ll move on one or both of Lynch and Cox.

So it’s wise they bring one in now. Won’t have many picks left in the ND once Daicos and Dib are taken

Club probably thought he’d go late in the ND. Clubs seem to be interested in drafting young ruckman again

 

[stormskye]

Callow goes Begging

 

[Everybody Panic]

Gives me luke Jackson vibes so if the club think he can be that good I'm behind the pick.

 

[MyManLynch]

Welcome aboard.
Obviously more than a 6 Month contract (With his injury).

#16 Aiden Begg


Gave up a bit of height in the ruck contests but still competed well, possibly even winning the bout against two really solid opponents. Has a really nice leap and ruck craft that make him a genuine chance no matter whereabouts he is positioned heading into the contest. Good around the ground as well following up strongly, using it well and setting up behind play and taking some good grabs in that role, suggesting he could play as a key defender at the next level.

Scouting Notes: 2021 NAB League Boys - Round 2

Round 2 of the NAB League Boys competition was run and done over the weekend with plenty of tight and one-sided contests throughout the weekend.

Think this is a really underrated pick tbh, kid was beating Moyle and Darcy for most of the game against the Chargers. Eastern and Metro staff said he's a KPP, likely in the defensive half, at AFL level with good hands and leap.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Give us some perspective- in what way is a fit Begg, an inferior selection to Callow?

Never said he was. Just noted the irony of him being injured at this stage.

I hope he goes well with us beyond this year.

 

[TheBaron]

Interesting that the first few responses to both of the Welcome threads are from a 'glass entirely empty' point of view.

Good luck to both of these guys, a chance is a chance - seize the day.

Getting ready for the Grundy trade

Doesn’t Travis Cloke have some involvement with him, let him heal and rehab and build up and early pre season for next year, we wouldn’t get near a tall in next Draft

Yeah Trav is the Head Coach of the Eastern Ranges football programs

The may see him as the best option as a key forward

 

[partypie]

That was created 3 hours ago!

Would have had a few of them ready to go I suspect, based on which way the picks went.

Yeah this is cover for Roughead. It’s a pleasing pick, IMO, given our lack of anything except speculative depth at that end of the ground.

 

[leon123]

Welcome.

Can anybody explain this one?

Maybe Cox won’t be at Pies next year, but I’m only guessing

I suspect that the two guys you say will be moved on are better than the player we have drafted.

Looked ok in contested marking in the highlights.

I’ll defer to your knowledge and judgment on this and back the kid in.

Even just looking at those limited highlights this kid is going to be a KPP at AFL level so it's already time to stop melting at us picking up another "ruck / forward". Which end of the ground he settles in at is going to be the question.

I was particularly impressed by the athleticism and reaction time he showed in that juggled mark on the wing, which a player at 197cm doesn't really have any right to be doing. Dropping that neat 30m kick precisely to a team mate in a fairly small gap between three opposition players also impressed.

 

[Brad Goodman]

How come he wasn’t drafted las year?

 

[pie machine]

This was a great pick up , welcome Begg

 

[Black_White]

I was told only a couple of weeks ago I need a REPLACEMENT shoulder.
Maybe he can have one too and we can be bionic men together?

 

[TradeDraft]

How come he wasn’t drafted las year?

Probably as a 17 Year Old not many KPP do Much

 

[mike123]

I’m begging he turns out a gun

Perhaps they see him as the best option as a KPD.

No anyone in defence who could go forward?

Not sure what all the angst is about. We wanted a KPF. We got a KP size player. Club may see more upside to this kid than Callow in the longer term.

Let’s face it, next 18 months is not important, it is the years after that which will matter. Who is better out of Callow and Begg after that is all that matters. Can’t see why it will not be Begg.
