It could just be because it's early but the midfield class seems smaller in height than in recent years.

 

[Mutineer]

Sam Gayfer any relation to former Collingwood defender Mick Gayfer?

 

[briztoon]

It could just be because it's early but the midfield class seems smaller in height than in recent years.

You've looked at this years midfield class?

O'Sullivan, Smith, Ashcroft, Lombard, Draper, Hotton, Gross, Moraes. Moraes at 183cm is the tallest of the lot.

Just highlighting the shorter guys. Smillie, Bo Allan and Lalor are the exceptions this year.

How’d Sam Harris go?

 

[jooce8891]

Sam Gayfer any relation to former Collingwood defender Mick Gayfer?

someone on our board said nephew

 

[Davo-27]

How’d Sam Harris go?

I don't think he played that game? Or if he did wasn't noticeable, he was 1 I had no notes or marks next to his name, so I assume he didn't play?

 

[Davo-27]

Davo what do you think of SA's Charlie Nicholls 197cm forward from Central Districts

Spoke to a few recruiters an they all thought he will end up a top 25 pick because of his marking power
saying he has the best hands seen in a long time

Rest of his game still needs work but his marking is elite

He can mark, it's a start, look at Calsher Dear this year, if you have watched the Hawks recently he looks a star because he marks at the highest point, idk about top 25 pick, but I'm sure clubs have done more homework on him and would know better than I, he could be that surprise packet KPF clubs love to discover, I personally like goal tallies to prove they can affect the scoreboard before getting too excited.

 

[THE_GUN]

What are we classifying Smillie as?

Or Langford & Lalor

 

[MPMonkeys]

How’d Sam Harris go?

He is currently injured. Think its a broken hand.

Archie Spencer or Hunter Ryan do much?

 

[Davo-27]

Jagga Smith on the slide after his 50 possession game….. hurt factor the issue Davo? Size?

Here's an example of no hurt factor, 32 poss, 57m gained, 5 score involvements, Levi Ashcroft 24 disposal 362m gained 8 score involvements and 2 goals, but you only heard about smiths 32 touches.... this was why the Hawks were open to trading Tom Mitchell, he struggled with meters gained too... good on paper with disposal numbers, but it gets worse once you look at what he does with it, I wish I had his season average on meters gained and score involvements to understand his ceiling

 

[Davo-27]

Harvey Langford 505m gained
Xavier Ivisic in great form 11 score involvements
Tobie Travaglia 13 intercept possessions

 

[anotherletdown]

I could do with an extra inch.

Is that what you're thinking? Or she's saying? Definate warning signs if it's the latter

 

[Davo-27]

Archie Spencer or Hunter Ryan do much?

I don't think Archie Spencer played
Hunter Ryan did well, just missed being a mention.

 

[Tortured Tiger]

Harvey Langford 505m gained
Xavier Ivisic in great form 11 score involvements
Tobie Travaglia 13 intercept possessions

I haven’t seen Ivisic get much credit at all for his game against SA but I thought he was very good, especially early in the game. He is shaping as good value as a second round pick I would have thought.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

I haven’t seen Ivisic get much credit at all for his game against SA but I thought he was very good, especially early in the game. He is shaping as good value as a second round pick I would have thought.

I agree with you this year looks to have good players available to pick 40

 

[Keystone agony]

I haven’t seen Ivisic get much credit at all for his game against SA but I thought he was very good, especially early in the game. He is shaping as good value as a second round pick I would have thought.

Honestly dont think he can be rated that far off someone like a Murphy Reid

Sorry if this has been answered, but what's your reasoning for Lalor rated at 27? I know his injuries are getting in the way but I just feel as if he holds the traits to make it at the next level.

Love the ranking though mate!

It's been injury and past performances, but he has looked good when he has played this season, the talk is he is going 1st round and I think that's likely, I just want to see more of him at the champs to be sure of my read on him.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Smith was better than Ashcroft last week for Metro so I'm not sure what your point is.

 

[Keystone agony]

Both dont hurt that much, Jagga greater upside

Levi very safe and going to atleast be solid

 

[briztoon]

Smith was better than Ashcroft last week for Metro so I'm not sure what your point is.

Genuine question, how was he better?

and Max Rohr catching the eye for WA so far, Gerryn looking sharp, good to see Benny Barrett get a game for SA to see what he can do, WA seem switched on, SA still asleep...
