Jyhe Clark appears lightly framed and brittle for an inside player

Can he handle the bigger bodies in the AFL and will his body add muscle?

Of course he could add muscle... It takes time and hard work....
Drafting bigger players can be a risk as well, because they are bigger and stronger and look better in the juniors... When they get to AFL they are very average..eg..Rayner

Jordan '108 games for Geelong because my kids will be the next Abletts' Murdoch you mean?
Don't make me roll out the highlights.
If his kids actually end up good players I think opposition supporters heads will literally explode
 
Anyone else warming to the idea of philliphou with our first pick if clark is gone??
Very much so... Assuming Humprey is gone aswell.

Looks a bit like Bont, could have a very high ceiling.

I have zero issues with him being confident as long as it's the kind of confidence you get because you know you are going to put in the work to get the best out of yourself.
 
I can’t believe Rueben Gibney isn’t getting more love. He was top 10 in every test. Perfect height for modern footy. Gives him flexibility. Most importantly he’s an Amazing kick and just got better and better as the season went on. He looks scary. Left footer as well is something that all teams need.

I’d love him. I reckon the Hawks will be all over him. If not WCE might be making a call to us
 
As someone who is aware and on the "inside" as you call it. I can assure you that the poster's analysis who showed the YouTube clips is much closer to the truth than yours. That doesn't mean some insiders or even clubs may have been confronted by his confidence but I think that says more about Australia and them than it does about him. If you have seen him play alternate sports with far less talented kids and the empathy and leadership he has shown with them it dispels a lot of what you suggest is wrong with his attitude. Finally he has been asked repeatedly about playing interstate and said he wants to more than stay home so to say he is a flight risk is just plain wrong. Anyway too much certainty about a kids character who you know nothing about is silly I think and that goes for everyone who isn't at the coal face.
New user name? Your posts are extremely similar to another poster we haven’t seen for a bit, who had plenty to say on the kids coming through.

I do hope he jumps into top 6 calculations so clark or humphries slip to us, but i doubt it and he seems WCE bound.

I dare say if anyone is pulling the trigger before WCE it is most likely us. I would much rather phillopou or busslinger

We could have got Ethan Phillips mid season draft instead of Williams as we did not need a small forward, but we did need a backman
The guy that was over looked by every team ? that guy ?
Must of been a reason that all had passed on him.
Pretty sure there were like 2-3 big/taller backman available and Wells decided none were worthy.
 


Well, This aged well :laughing::laughing:.


The worst variant of a talking head. You can see their ego as puss coming out of all orifices, akin to an abuser, they seek to bury as if to demonstrate their influence. A microcosm of how far the has the 4th estate fallen. They take no responsibility for their poison, cheering each other on, in a growing circle of bile hate while providing nothing of value, just parasites filled with jealousy feeding off and undermining the hard work of better people.

If all the players we want are gone we should grab him... If he is a flight risk we could just trade him to WCE next year and get a top 4 pick... It would be a good investment either way... Personally i think GC will grab him...

What on earth are you talking about? They're literally just expressing opinions about a team's future prospects and what they should do to improve. It's what everyone on this forum does all the time. It's utterly harmless. Imagine how boring the media landscape would be if pundits just constant hedged their bets and only said "well, Geelong's list management strategy after this game will be interesting. There's a lot of things they could potentially do. Who knows what will happen though. It's not really my place to say." :drunk:
 
What else are we going to do. It only really leaves December and January and footy free news months. Would hate to have 4 months of nothing but cricket.

Regardless of when or how long the trade & draft period runs for, we're not going to be without football news for 4 months...

But condensing the time trade & draft period takes would allow for clean air for the AFLW, especially since there seems reluctance to run the season simultaneous to the AFL season

We're currently playing the final round of the AFLW season with finals to follow - so why not extend their season, and give it more focus & chance to grow
