Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVII

Worry about aerial balls with Jsos, but Gov can also play small

Gov can play small but it would mean potentially a Boyd or Cowan not making the team and I think they both play important roles and will continue to develop. Would almost rule out O.Hollands as a HB option as well

 

[Zlatan]

JSOS will be playing CHB in 2025

Hope he’s spent the year off the field in the gym and sized up a bit; will definitely help against teams’ second KPF

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Martin
Marchbank
Cuningham
Owies
Kennedy
Mirkov (R)
Akuei (R)

Pick 3 + Campo1 replace 2 list spots
Third ND selection to replace third list spot
Campo2 to replace 1 rookie list spot

Leaves two main list spots vacant - pick up one DFA and one PSP or leave it vacant for the MSD perhaps?

Either way, if we depart with Kennedy, we need a pick we can use in this draft (<30).

Boyd upgraded to main list…

Geelong are very different to Collingwood...

2023 - took 7 picks in the draft Inc. 3 in the first 2 rounds
2022 - took 2 picks Inc. 1 first rounder
2021 - took 5 picks Inc. 3 in first 2 round

2023 - took 2 picks inc. 1 in the first 2 rounds
2022 - took 3 picks Inc. 2 in the first 2 rounds
2021 - took 4 picks Inc. 1 first rounder

5 extra picks taken at the draft
3 extra picks in first 2 rounds

For all the talk Geelong have never really traded away their future. They mostly use their draft picks even though they aren't high due to them being good. The guys they bring in are usually cheap due to being a bit older or FA. Even Cameron was meant to be a FA before the Giants made them cough up. It's shifting a bit under Mackie though.

 

[Soapy V]

JSOS just screams natural defender. It's in the DNA.

Yep. and now we will get to see it. Finally

 

[Opium]

Got the nous but too slow.
Guess better than forward for him coming off a reco though.

Disagree. Reads the play really well. Just a natural footballer.

 

[The Bighouse]

Opposite of Kemp.
Merge them to create a player.

 

[Coona Blues]

Another year for the Suns where you hope your picks get academy players in and your stars play with even more plodders than the year before.

If I didn't have family there that I want to see positioned to succeed I'd be laughing.

Might have to analyse. They have some great (on paper) kids to fill in gaps. Would have thought they are getting close.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Is JSOS tall enough? Or will we encounter the same issues we had when playing Kemp on the 2nd tall?

He's 1cm taller than May.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

When the time is ~3 seconds, 0.15 seconds is a lifetime.

Eg

Under 3.0 is quick
Under 2.9 is very quick
Under 2.85 is best in draft

Mate... 2.85 best in draft??

too slow?

Not sure about that....

 

[marcmurphy3]

I think JSOS is stronger then Kemp but Kemp is more athletic. JSOS the better ball user.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Hope not, not a good defender IMO.

Yeah- the bloke who never loses a one on one and halves most 2 on 1 situations - poor defender

 

[CCurnow3votes]

They only have 3-4 good ones under 25 so they would be close in that regard.

Max Holmes probably being the best for them.

Collingwood have one.

9 players over 30 YOA. No youth coming through aside from Mcguane.

No draft pics left.

Tassie coming.

Gasp!

It’s a huge risk.

 

[Mondyboy]

JSOS is tall enough (194 cm). And he has mongrel. I like it.

 

[RAPPA]

how many ‘slow” players do we have? Quite a few. JSOS’ speed is not a concern imo if he has the smarts to position himself well at the outset.

 

[kingkingston]

I think JSOS is stronger then Kemp but Kemp is more athletic. JSOS the better ball user.

i think they are about even, JSOS kicking isn't that great. Unfortunately he has his dads awkwardness and missing easy targets.

 

[Soapy V]

Got the nous but too slow.

Too slow? How quick are Weitering, Barrass, J.McGovern etc

Won't be an issue. Smart player and no player is perfect

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Mate... 2.85 best in draft??

Yeah but Bolt was slow (comparatively) over the first 20-40 and lightning over 100

 

[tarczonandjane]

I still think it is possible the point of EP’s post is being missed.

He's responding to a post from Opium about Brodie Kemp, where Opium suggests Kemp is expendable if he’s not a defender. EP’s response is that JSOS will be CHB.

I’m probably adding two plus two to make five, but it’s possible EP is trying to tell us Kemp is expendable because JSOS is earmarked to play where Kemp had been playing.

 

[BlueLocke]

Massive engine as well.

But then who would be playing where JSOS has been playing for most of his career?

 

[AT97]

JSOS will be playing CHB in 2025

dinner table discussion turns into interest for kemp.

 

[Soapy V]

There is something comforting about the name Silvagni at KPD. Maybe because I'm old?

B: Boyd Weitering McGovern
HB: Ollie Silvagni Saad

Looks good to me
