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

[Its Manbearpig]

Ha! Name the non-shankers?

I was seriously worried youd say that..
Of our best kickers.. Hurley.. Hooker..
Uhm... Connor Mckenna?.. ****.. uhh possibly Colyer.. seems to have worked on his kicking alot. One of the more reliable kicks now.

found some good highlights of charlie curnow playing with the AIS Academy and his tac cup team from early in the year

What number is he? First few minutes features lots of fumbles, smothers, miskicks and guys running into each other.

Were you impressed with him?

There are definitely big wraps on him.

Fairly underwhelmed by those Curnow highlights. He hardly plays as a KF at all, plays undersized ruck, tall on ball and wing. Could be Kepler Bradley all over again albeit faster.

No.42 for tac side

I really don't understand why the draft is so long after the trade period is finished. There's nothing but speculation for over a month about it.

Its a health and wellbeing safety. Gives The kids who find out they are heading to Melbourne and Carlton time to emotionaly prepare for the end of their AFL dream.

Judging a player that isn't drafted yet based on a couple of highlights.

Nothing in that video suggests that Rioli will be crap if we draft him, nor does it suggest that we will be kicking ourselves if we pass him up. Unless there is an obvious slider, I'm not too fussed about who we get with pick 24/25. As long as they are developed and given some chances to perform. Both will likely be busts if we let them rot in the magoos or play them out of position most of the time they are playing seniors.

 

[CBombers17]

What if the Rioli name is too much for Daniel; a burden that wears like an unhealed ulcer. He then goes on to develop an eating disorder and ends up like Dean Rioli. On second thought, probably not such a bad thing.

The only bio I know of Daniel is he doesn't have red hair but claims to be quicker than Cyril. Get him in!

If he could kick like Dean Rioli he'd go 1.

 

[BomberFan355]

Granted i only watched 1 minute worth, but literally everything he does goes to the opposition players.

Play's round one.

Who else do we want at 24/25? Sick of reading about Rioli tbh

Cole/Gresham/Bonner/Burton/Hibberd/Lovell/McKay/McKay/Slider

 

[Red Black and Blue]

If it's anything like the bigfooty phantom... Darcy Tucker would go alright.

 

[Howard Moon]

Look I'm just throwing this out there...

What if, Dean rioli ate Daniel rioli, how does it work? Does he keep his own kicking skills but get Daniels speed? Can you engineer it the way you like or is that like playing God?

Footy version of highlander. I like it!

Keeps the news ticking over. And posts about jets, bolters, sliders and backing our recruiting team in to flourish.

 

[MarkG]

What is happening with Weideman? So little video of him. Apart from a screaming mark from the back of the pack. I know that Melbourne and Collingwood are hot on him. Anybody know anything about him. The way he is described. Sounds like perfect complement to Joe.

What are thoughts on 17yo Harry McKay? Looks a little like Tom Lynch. Very agile for a 200cm guy and a beautiful mark and kick. He is younger than the others.

I can say one thing and that is i am over people making judgment either way based on 2 or 3 minute youtube clips....

 

[Jesse Custer]

I'm lost. This thread seems to be going around in circles. I know we need a key forward, but I think we need gun mids before anything else. Am I wrong?

Who would you select (assuming they are available)?

 

[Fear Boner]

Darcy Parish.

The best mid in draft and the sneaky bastards Melbourne are going to take him.

Don't worry you'll change your mind about who the best mid is before the draft ...

 

[Mercuri Rising]

NOB delisted!

 

[Fear Boner]

Doss can we put a swear ban on the word Rioli every time it's typed I prefer it be replaced with Francis

 

[DonsRule]

Nick O'Brien delisted.

Most likely coming from Port or the Crows. The sneaky leak like Heppell has OP

Probably Crows since Port doesn't have a pick until the second round IIRC

Who else do we want at 24/25? Sick of reading about Rioli tbh

Lovell, Partington, Skinner, Gresham are four I'd be very happy with

Cole/Gresham/Bonner/Burton/Hibberd/Lovell/McKay/McKay/Slider

Bonner won't last until then I think, or the McKay brothers.

I'm lost. This thread seems to be going around in circles. I know we need a key forward, but I think we need gun mids before anything else. Am I wrong?

Not really. I think our midfield is actually underrated for the future.

NOB delisted!

YES! But Hams stays?
