Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[Rack Watts]

He's more of a natural midfielder. His work in traffic is much better. I honestly don't see the Gunston comparison at all to Langford.

Me either, every medium sized forward with a radar gets compared to him now.

 

[Ambrosia]

Would there be any interest in someone like Lewis Taylor? OOC, good ball user, quick and knows how to kick a goal. Wouldn't look out of place on a HFF.

We have enough small players in Tippa, Parish, Z.Merrett, Fantasia, Zaharakis and Eades.

Exactly. I Think the best comparison would be a more midfield/contested-type Tom Lynch (adelaide).

Just need a natural full forward who can compete and create a pack/spillage for the future.

Jack Redpath was suggested by someone last year, but quickly shot down by the masses. The bloke is dominating and may very likely hold out Tom Boyd for the near future with games like he played on the weekend.

To be fair, only Zaharakis is of similar game style of Taylor. Tippa (behind the ball), Parish (inside leaning mid), Z.Merret (inside leaning mid), Eades (unproven) are not even relatable to Lewis Taylor.
Fantasia is the most comparable of the lot having played predominantly half forward/wing this year. Which is what Taylor did in his RS winning year

Be that as it may, the future midfield looks decidedly small regardless of particular roles - though what comes of Laverde, Langford and Francis may go some way to addressing that.

Should size really matter when it comes to line breaking mids?

The best line breakers have been smaller sized anyways. A rarity you get that combination of size (185cm+) and powerful leg speed in the one player.

having a bont/cripps/fyfe sized midfielder to take over jobes role would be pretty good though

size matters

 

[GUMBLETRON]

It's not about Taylor in particular, it's about the midfield balance. If you're going to trade for someone, trade for someone who meets the most glaring need.

Laverde? Or do you see him in a different role?

+ our first pick in this years draft who will most likely be a mid... we'll have the best midfield in the comp in a few years

Re - read my post?

"Should size really matter when it comes to line breaking mids?"

Line breaking means, Brent Harvey, Travis Colyer, Lewis Jetta in full flight not inside mids.

For the record

I agree with you. No point giving up a second round pick for him when we have guys already playing to/ scoping to a similar output in Fantasia, Colyer, Zaka thats not even the young guys we havent seen yet.

Cal twomey told me if we're to use our top pick on a fwd it could be Todd Marshall. If we sign most of the 12 I think it would be hard for a draftee next yr to have any worth/impact for our 2017 season. Is this the best choice in the long run and really start getting a proper run come 2020?

Marshall wouldn't be ready to play next season. Needs a few years to build a frame

So you read my post huh?........

Yeah sorry I misread it

 

[Kakkle]

Think we should go after Chris Dawes. A real combative player. You just know he'll grab Daniher by the shirt, and go ''COME WITH ME''. Think he could be a real good asset come 2017 onwards.

 

[SherbertLemon]

Does the orange text represent a nightmare?

 

[yaco55]

Is there anyone you would be interested in acquiring yaco55?

I'm genuinely interested to know by the way, I'm not having a go or anything.

Each year I choose two or three players to target - And these are usually players who fit a need and aren't over-rated in the cyber world - My clear number one target for 2017 is Gaff. 2nd Target is Jenkins.

Thanks for the laugh.

 

[lkg04]

[Lance Uppercut]
