Looks like even delisted players are going to reject playing for the Eagles......

If I were Hunt I'd rather stay in Melbourne than move interstate and especially play for a crap club like St Kilda as it guarantees more game time
In the short term. Just like Sheed won't make that much difference to our side next year. Outside players can make a difference from day one, particularly in a side that lacks agility and in the forward half and pace in the middle
James Aish
Not sure if this has been posted but the more videos of Cockatoo I see the more I like this guy.

Based on that evidence, Cockatoo looks like the player who can carry a team. Can break a tackle, burst out of packs and can kick running goals. Do want.
So when are we announcing the signing of Nakia Judd?

The problem is he gets really low numbers playing in the middle even at high school level.
Sure, he has an ok contested game, but when you can't accumulate against high schoolers or in TAC as an onballer, but are big bodied and contested, its not great

lower production, longer kick
What does this mean?
He did well in the u18 champs.
Really, from all reports he's been mid-20's+ in his average possessions... pretty sure he had a 24 possession game in NEAFL this season too.

He did ok, not great. Wasn't super in his handful of TAC games, not at school level.
Don't get me wrong, plays ok, just struggles to win much ball outside of the contest. Inside mid getting 12 touches aint great.

Less. Just 20 I think and it's a lower level of competition.
Aish was getting big numbers playing senior footy. He has a more balanced game than Aish though and is a nice long kick

I'm not complaining.
His new video on AFL.com is much more impressive, looks a lot more like a slightly slower and taller version of Daniel Hannebery. Never the less his production is concerning and his kicking over rated.
I'm leery of these AFL.com videos, some of these inside mids don't seem to do much on the inside... prefer some of the stuff on youtube. Still, best stuff for analysis is cuts of full games where you get to see every touch, both effectual and ineffectual. In that respect the AFL draft scene has a lot missing when compared to US pro sports.

There is a lot to love about Garlett. I've rated him higher than Clem Smith since last year and thought he might wind up being one of the bolters of this draft. But his game is nowhere near Pickett's.
The problem with Garlett isn't what he does with ball in hand, because his ability with ball will see him go top 30. The problem is how he wins the ball. He's a handball receive king and he gets it wider than Pickett does. He isn't as strong in traffic or in close as Pickett and isn't going to turn that loose ball get into a uncontested shot on goal as regularly. Garlett is a jet but he's very outside and the type of player who takes ball already won.
Physically he's probably as, if not more athletic than Pickett. He doesn't have the pure acceleration of Pickett that sets Pickett apart in congestion, but his smaller frame and longer stride length makes him as fast over the stretch and a genuine line breaker on the outside. It also gives him a more efficient running style and he has better endurance as a result.
Bummer we don't have a second pick in the 20's. No guarantees at all that Pickett will be there at 11 or Garlett at 32.

Yeah they are true "highlights" packages.
Other footage shows De Goey kicking long and failing to select short targets, which is just dumb football. AFL video's shows him hitting more long kicks, either way the long kicking buffs his efficiency stats.

Not at our pick.
Pickett - Elite ball use, explosive speed, agility, small, defensive side needs to improve.
Weller - Great kick (duel sided), fast, small, very outside.
De Goey - Great Mark, good size, average kick (kicks too long*), low disposal count, not a full time mid (yet*).
Laverde - Fast, tall, versatile, average kick, not a full time mid (yet).
Ahern - Fast, Agile, goal kicker, small, full time midfielder at AFL level?
And see their effect diminished?
He was playing on a flank and averaged 15 possessions.
A real weakness.
It is if he can't nail a target going for a 40m pass when there was a viable option at 25m.
