Anyone have any idea what happened to Harry Lemmey this year ?

Hasn't been injured but played a mixture of colts , reserves and league and played fairly well .

Seems to have fallen out of favour but has all the attributes to be a very good KPP

 

[Dark Sharks]

I wouldn't complain with either Lemmey or Sculley with 27 if they're on the board.


Could possibly come in for Parto.

Not linking this because it’s relevant to us (although it does hint we might bid on Fletcher with pick 12) but this bit caught my attention :


“With his dad clearing the 100-game qualification threshold, Fletcher would’ve been eligible to be drafted by Brisbane as a father-son selection. But as Fletcher has been part of the club’s Academy for around six years, he doesn’t have to officially nominate as a father-son prospect before Wednesday‘s deadline.”

So Fletcher doesn’t have to nominate as a father/son because he qualifies as an academy player. So if Fletcher had played 8 less games for Brisbane (he played 107) they would still have first dibs on the son of a 200 game AFL player because of the academy

I guess there must have been some danger Jaspa would play rugby league. FFS

Doesn’t piss me off as much as Blakey given his dad played for another ****ing team

Lemmey is a do not draft out of SA, has had some pretty serious personal issues this year.

And there goes another one .

Its strange that when WA recruits have 'issues' it best if they get out of WA .

Its becoming the norm now. Over the last few years its been 1 or 2 but now its getting out to 5-6 in a draft year...and who knows next year is it going to get worse again? Why play a national sport if you dont want to leave home?

 

[Dark Sharks]

WA draftees never refuse to leave WA.

Name me one kent who said he'll "struggle leaving WA", would "play his best footy around friends and family", or anyone deemed a flight risk pre draft from our end.

SA floggos have done it (Wingard), Vic obviously do it all the time, whilst nobody cares about footy in QLD or NSW.

I know a lot of people are sayin pick 8 is a sweet spot but it could actually be a bit of an awkward one. If all the teams before us take mids (not unlikely) then we are probably picking from the more speculative mids. Assumuing we want a mid with our 1st.

GWS - Cadman
BL - Ashcroft
Nth - Wardlaw
Nth - Sheezle
Ess - Tsatas
GC - Ginbey
Hawks - Mackenzie
Cats - Clark

WC - Humphrey? Hewett? Poo?
Poo probably the pick here but has ? over his midfield ability with a small sample size.

If we are looking for a pure midfielder is it worth offering Ports future second to GCS to move up to 5 to grab a Clark/Tsatas/Mackenzie? Would be a much safer pick then a Poo or Humphrey. Maybe with GC third rounder coming back to pick up Broadbent as well.

Or just run the gauntlet and be happy with whoever makes it to 8?

Think Kelly probably did a bit but nobody cared. Since he was mature aged he probably couldn't say too much I guess, since he had a lot more to lose.

Clancy Rudeforth, if memory serves.
Subsequently went undrafted until late rookie draft.

More than happy with Phillipou at 8, many have him as top 5. Busslinger and Humphrey could also go before our pick, causing one of the listed above to slide to ours. More than happy with 8.

Essendon are rumoured to be looking into Phillipou at Pick 5 ..

Even the pure midfielders in your top 8 list have queries. Really like Mackenzie because of his elite disposal and is unlikely to fall to 9 but Tsatis, Ginbey and Clarke are at best marginally better and may be available at our first selection

I'd be happy with Phillipou too, I mean who wouldn't want the next Bont/Fyfe clone (no pressure lol).
I was just wondering if we maybe we wanted a pure midfielder rather then a hybrid fwd/mid. We seem to try and make midfielders and it would be a nice change to draft a ready made mid. But i guess we would've stayed at 2 if we wanted one of those guys.

That’s why I think pick 8(9) is actually quite good as there’s a bunch of about 8-9 mids or mid/fwds that are clearly above the rest and we can see who falls to us.

Think ppl were implying he has some " issues" of some sort and not the go home factor.

Write up on Olli Hotton

Probably falls between our 2nd and 3rd picks but he’d have to be considered if he did slip to our pick 20
