Charke is for this year, actually got to play one or two games last year around the Metro v country game/ trials. What'd you think of Rye Penny?

Rye Penny had a great 2nd half of their round 1 game V GWS A, he took 3-4 courageous marks for a small/medium defender, showed good character under pressure, definitely one to keep an eye on, didnt notice him as much in round 2 against Sandringham.

IMO Tsatsis was BOG. Wardlaw gets a lot of the ball but he refuses to handball to bring his teammates into the game. Tsatsis is very patient and shows a lot of poise. Drury was good with 3 or 4 snags. Weddle also had a lot of the ball.
Ashcroft and Sheezel were good. Sheezel to a nice contested mark to show off one of his tricks. Ashcroft is a workhorse on the inside. I like the way he goes about it.
Bottom agers for Oakleigh were good. Philactides and Badr were solid down back. Both playing HB. Philactides took a couple of nice contested grabs.
Sandringham - Brown and Roberts were their best 17 yr olds. Roberts showed some confidence down back. Brown did some nice things in the midfield.
I can’t see Oakleigh losingtoo many games this year.
Does the early top 4 consensus look something like Wardlaw, Ashcroft, Tsatis, Leemey ?
Seems like it's them then a gap...or those are the 4 that seem to be getting the early hype.
How does the top prospects compare to last years group ? As a Hawk supporter and feeling as though we'll land a top 5 pick who of the top group would you favour.
Maybe its too early to be asking these questions..I know around Nat champs things become more clear.

I agree with this after 2 rounds. A couple of bottom agers at Oakleigh that have played both rounds that would be mids in any other NAB team. Hard for them to get minutes when wardlaw, Tstata Curry, Drury are in there Running a muck.
 
I don't think I have seen shitter coverage of the NAB league on line (paper / articles) than this year.



Just trying to get team lists is proving a mission and lets not get started with the results page that you've got to jump through hoops of fire to find.



Any links to the Cannons team list (including numbers of players) please mate?

the NAB League App is also a good tool for not only their height, but D.O.B. and stats within the NAB League, just click on the tab at the bottom "Teams", then click on the team and you get a list of players then click on the player for more info.

eDPS seems to think Alwyn Davey Jnr is a first round prospect but not even on your radar?

Any thoughts on Davey at all?

i knew i would miss 1, i was just thinking while watching Melb V GWS wheather i added Davey in the list or not, then i saw you had responded asking the question, im editing him in as i type this, i liked his movement in round 1 although he wasnt as impactful as i wouldve liked, but he was sensational in the midfield in round 2, very quick and nimble, uses the ball well, depending on his champs he could rise potentially? his movement on the field is top tier, his disposal is above average, he doesnt get a lot of disposal and has not kicked many goals this year as a sml forw/mid, but i can see the potential there.

Davey is slick. He’s a smooth mover. He doesn’t get a lot of the ball but in a FT environment he would improve significantly. Hes not a first rounder however he will get drafted.

Sounds like Ed is getting excited because he's an Essendon linked player but the performances aren't there (yet).

Who does he remind you of stylistically? Not level but style / type of player to get excited about?

I’ve down played a lot of Essendon tied prospects over the years, not this time he likely won’t get the output that most first rounders would have but on potential he is certainly in the first round mix. Mac Andrew wasn’t the most productive player last year but on potential he was hard to ignore.

I didn't mean to take anything away from your observations mate, just unsure how a small forward who hasn't kicked many goals nor gets much of the ball is considered a first round prospect.

A ruck/key forward didn’t get a lot of the ball and didn’t kick many goals and went top 5 last year, not all first round prospects need to be productive.

His lack of production is purely down to his endurance which is understandably low, Tipungwuti had to work very hard to develop the endurance required to play AFL but once he got it he looked sensational and that’s my projection for Davey and I’m sticking to it. His lack of fitness isn’t due to laziness so I expect it to improve plenty with a few years in an elite environment, many kids have been able to experience elite junior pathways and it’s only the last couple of years that the Davey twins have been exposed to it.
 
Watched the Murray v NT game yesterday, a couple of kids caught my eye.

Number 1 Fletcher Hart, a 200cm full forward with good agility and leading patterns, whilst raw he looks promising.

The other was a classy half forward number 14 Joeve Cooper, whilst only small he was all class and didn't waste a disposal all day. I was surprised to see that he was only 16yrs old when I looked at his profile.

Did anyone see the game?

similar movement and size as his father, but i dont know if he will have the same impact, goal sense, quality or bravery as his dad had during his career.

Hello Davo, as a fellow Hawks supporter who would you say we should take with out first round pick which as of right now before the game against Geelong stands as pick 10?

Would you agree its presenting as the best draft for talls for some time. Regular poster on our board like LHayes for example.. do you see them all getting a chance at the champs?

Talking talls, Davo-27 Essendon desperately need a KPF and I am all for taking one with our first. IF we do indeed end up in that pick 5 - 9 range, who could we feasibly look at ? I want a genuine KPF not an undersized one nor a ruck converting to a KPF. One who can take a big mark and is a good kick for goal.

Not too fussed about how nimble they are as most kids drafted these days are reasonably agile.
