Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

Found this on Browne also - I'm very happy for a defender to join the Blues.

#22 - Steven Browne - Medium Defender - West Perth - 180cm, 75kgs

One of my fav WA boys, very versatile, has mostly played back in state games but is a high quality onballer /forward who likes to kick goals, excellent over head mark, reads the fall of the ball very well, doesn't over attack from defence, spots turnovers early and is often the 1st man back, stays composed , good disposal. Made his league debut after 18s carnival and was outstanding. High quality backman with midfield skills and highest level footy smarts, would lead most sides he plays for in 1%'ers and hard ball gets...no down side, will make the ideal go to defensive player desperately needed by the Eagles

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

With our plethora of talented midfielders and smalls im surprised we took Browne. From what i've heard i woulda rathered a KPP like someone like Gourdis considering we lost Kennedy and Whitnall this year and have a bit of a gap in the forwardline now

I second that

Must've just decided to go best available with that pick regardless of position. Browne went higher in most phantom drafts.

Besides Scotland we don't have any 'small' running defenders....

So I would imagine our next pick we would take a KPP either forward or back.

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

Pick 46
Dennis Armfield
Height 181.4
Weight 77.6
Swan District
BIO
Medium midfielder with excellent pace and agility. Recorded a time of 2.83sec for 20m and 8.23sec for AFL Agility Test at NAB AFL Draft Screening Session. Competitive player who is strong overhead for his size.

Dew to Hawthorn

 

[BLue_Bloys]

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

So armfield sounds like a faster version of Lappin.

surprising another small/medium mid

 

[RPCB]

Dennis Armfield is ours at pick 46

Anyone know anything about this kid?

 

[Kouta_legend]

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

How many more midfielder sized players do we need

 

[Will.B.Worth.Da.Waite]

So I would imagine our next pick we would take a KPP either forward or back.

we have blokes who can play a small running defender/half back role though. stevens has at times, as has walker, and hopefully anderson can fill out small defender role

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

Baffled with that pick. Wouldnt have thought Armfield would have been the player we should have gone after. Nor was he the best available.

Very different to last year's draft, where we went with tall mids - shortest being Gibbs at about 188cm.

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

Another midfielder guys, pretty quick though

Steven Browne – West Perth, WA, 179.8cm, 74.7kg, DOB 1/2/89
Honours

• Western Australia representative – winners of the 2007 NAB AFL Under-18 Championship

Kevin Sheehan, AFL National Talent Manager says:
“Steven is your unobtrusive medium defender who just makes very few errors. He’s a clean ball handler who’s quite strong overhead, uses the ball right and left with his feet very, very well and mops everything up. He played consistently for WA at under-18 level, stepped up for six games at senior level in the WAFL – including one best on ground. Whatever level he’s put to, he’s unfazed, unflappable and continually makes good decisions; a neat and tidy player.
“What he did after the under-18’s, to step up and go and play with the seniors and actually dominate just shows that step-ups are no surprise to him; he just takes it in his stride, he’s one of those players.”

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

why did we choose another small running defender??!!!

Re: The Draft- Discussion Thread

Armfield also turns 21 next month - sounds like a ready made pacy midfielder from the WAFL to add to our stocks.
