What can you tell me about trey ruscoe? Dont see him mentioned much around here

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Ruscoe is a versatile player with clean hands and one of the better kicks in the draft, he has grown a fair bit since under 16s and now projects as a medium tall for either end. Has had some big games playing Forward for East Fremantle and I’ve heard he has played some midfield time aswel so he is one that has that versatility to go with some good potential aswel.

I’m always looking out for players that got combine invites that haven’t been high on my radar and doing some better research on them to better understand why clubs invited them to the national combine especially for the WA players who I don’t get to watch play colts.

Listening to a cody weightman interview with Cal twomey the other day and i thought it it was strange when he said, he'd been interviewed by every club except Adelaide. I thought Adelaide would be one of the first clubs to talk to him as he provides exactly what they lack inside f50.

Ned McHenry>>>>Weightman pressure wise. Then there's Tyson Stengle, Shane McAdam, Lachie Murphy and Jordan Gallucci that are all capable of playing that role and all are contracted. Eddie Betts also contracted and is still a Crow at this point.

Weightman is a pure goal kicker that can apply pressure. I don’t think mcadam, Murphy or gallucci have the same skill set/ will be able to fill the void Cameron and betts have left.

He also said Adelaide was his next interview.

I'm tipping you've never seen Shane McAdam play or you wouldn't have posted that.

No he said he only has Adelaide to go not that it was his next interview.

Noticed you have Cooper Stephens jumping from #26 to pick #19 richmonds pick , I am a fan of his and think he is the type we should look at but what made you place him higher compared to the previous list, Also who do you rate the better of Sam de koning / Harrison Jones for athletic ability and as a defender
thanks

I’ve seen him play. Do you really think he’s capable of kicking 40+ a year in afl?

Where and when?

About as much chance as Cody has actually, especially in the next few years.

Last year for sturt and this year for the crows. Except Cody will be 19 and mcadam will be 25 next year

Harrison Jones projects as a tall forward/winger for me.
Jones looked a little more athletic, in saying that he is bloody skinny.

Think he is the right type of player for tigers to go for, think inside mid depth could be better and allows some of your more dangerous mids to go forward more often in the long run

I rate De Koning higher mostly for his height and closing speed as I think he has a better ability to play on talls and smalls, not that Jones can’t but he may struggle a bit more with the likes of say a Ben King.

I’ll tell all the clubs to hold off on trades

So you put him higher because of Richmonds needs ? I agree and would love to get him
I think he would have been rated higher if not for his injury.

Regarding Sam De Koning do you see him remain as a Backman in 5 years or a Ruck

Yeah based on needs, I’m not 100% sold on Stephens and have him in the 25-40 range myself

Nah wouldn’t bother rucking De Koning, prefer him better as a key defender or CHF

Do you have a number on the nga FS type needs . Green and Henry early.. any others that will affect the R1?

Like DeKoning ... and he says he is still growing..

 

[Procrastinator35]

For a kid over 200cm he is so well balanced & light on his feet....Always looks to have plenty of time with the ball in hand too.

eDPS, you are one of only a few picking Anderson ahead of Rowell.
Which player do you see scoring better in Supercoach?

Rowell as he will play more midfield minutes early but it will get closer in the long term. I’d go Rowell ahead but Anderson a decent option to get Mid/For

 

[Gosaints12]

Rowell is better then Walsh - Dwayne Russell

 

[Milanista28]

eDPS Are the CD ranking points available anywhere for this years crop and seasons past. I'd love to know the top 10 ranking points recorded to see how they dropped/increased as they played their careers.

That’s not completely idiotic at all, compared to his usual dribble

Champion Data post them on Twitter just after the draft every year. Until then, you can occasionally find crumbs in HS articles.

The top players have massive averages, well beyond what any AFL player gets, given they're shredding a far inferior competition.

 

[Schtinker]

Any chance West Coast get a decent player with picks 52 and 64? Who's around after pick 50 in your opinion?
