Speculation Elijah Tsatas [OOC 2026]

[Ash1337]

Not sure what all the doom and gloom in here is about.

He's 19 with a frame he will grow into over the next couple years that will allow him to play his best position (on ball) rather than the wing where we have forced him to play in the seniors in order to get some AFL exposure.

His last 5 weeks at VFL level as an inside mid.

Has Hobbs and Parish ahead of him atm that's where the doom & gloom is. Both are behind Shiel who'll likely go to saints at the end of the year. Then it's another waiting game.

He's different to those two. Taller, more explosive, will have a bigger body.

I’m not sure that’s the doom and gloom part at all. If our midfield was good enough to keep very good players in the VFL it wouldn’t be an issue.

It’s entirely the unfixable feeling around his kicking

It's not the end of the world if a 2nd year player isn't playing seniors.

Kid needs to develop his body to play his preferred role at AFL level.

Not every draftee is Sheezel/Daicos/Reid.
