Maybe, it’s easier to teach a kid how to footballer than turn a footballer into an athlete imo.

With the game developing the way it is I see it becoming very difficult to be an elite mid without incredible physical attributes in 3-5 years time.

Don't agree mate - Speed of mind will always beat speed of foot every time.

 

[Mop]

Im hoping we draft one if not both - we have lacked genuine explosiveness for years. Double down - add some X factor

Allan isn’t exactly Petch, he’s proven his ability to find the footy. Whether or not he can further develop his inside craft will be the question.

 

[eagles rule]

Presuming that if we take Phillipou we have no real need for Ed Allan?

I don`t think WCE are interested in Phillipou tbh he looks like being the fanboi`s Matt Johnson of this draft ..

 

[ArdentEagle]

He's very outside, I'm just not sold on his nous. Others far more in the know than me have said the same thing pretty much.

In saying that, if you CBF searching (which I don't blame you if you can't), I've long been on the side of footballers before athletes. I've been wrong sometimes and right a lot

 

[shooshka]

I mean both wouldn’t hurt, Allan has the potential to be absolutely elite.

If we were wanting to take him though I’d be looking at Keeler at 20 over Hustwaite/Hotton.

I hope Keeler slides to us, and I hope we take the risk (assuming we have gone small with 8 + 12).

We've always been good at developing talls, so take one with a heap of talent and see what we can do.

For the most part I agree with you, but if you are wanting some one who is top 10 in the AFL, for mine you need to prioritise athleticism.

I already think we have mids with good footballing ability in Hough, Culley and O’Neil who project to be B graders.

We need a game breaking star desperately ( what I would give for Warner).

So at 8 - You that the Poo?

Him or Humphrey would be my ideal scenario. Wouldn’t be mad at Mackenzie either but one of those two are definitely my preference.

 

[bh90210fan]

From what I’ve read and watched (only in the champs v SA), Allen supposedly has a hard edge to him.

We know he can run like the wind, is 194cm, has a great pedigree, is a WA lad

ticks a lot of boxes.

I'm kind of torn on this. Ginbey reads very well and has the respect of those really in the know generally.
I like Humphrey profile wise, I feel like MacKenzie will be good but not great. The Poo is a juicy prospect but could really stink if not on the right diet.
Hotton may be better than all of them.

I’m actually concerned about Humphrey.
People were giving Cadman a hard time about kicking, well he is a better kick than Humphrey.

Humphrey does have power and looks busy but real concerns over his finishing.

Can just see next years threads when he’s had 15 touches at 55% efficiency and scored 1 goal 3 for the second week in a row.

I don't mind so much further up the field. He does have a lot of Danger qualities.
Think it can be improved in the right environment.

History will show I'm right. Hotton will not be as good as Allen

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Is the pair (Ginbey, Hewett) better than (Erasmus, Johnson)?

Great question, I'd say no.

Time for a bet - What would you like? Av, Sig or something more drastic?

 

[ArdentEagle]

Great question, I'd say no.

Come on Bro - Good chance they're our picks. Talk them up!

Fist choice at both picks for you are?

And who will end up with the better career - Allan or Hotton?

 

[Schtinker]

Sig will do. 3 years down the track if Hotton is a better player than Allen and Vice Versa the other has to have " Schtinker/Ardentw***er is the Greatest"

 

[Shueygod]

Great question, I'd say no.

I’d say easily, Hewett > Erasmus, Ginbey > Johnson.

 

[Shueygod]

I’d love to get another top 35 pick tbh, would want 2 of Munkara/Jones/Allen

Bit weird but whatever gets you through the night.

It's a deal - Lets make it a carton on top too?

That’s bold, Hotton far more of a sure thing.

I think Allen does have the higher ceiling but can also see him taking longer to develop.
