Who is number 40 for SA? He has some long arms and can mark the ball out in front. Nice kick as well.
 
Dodson is also a very talented basketballer who has to choose between the two sports. If he's that good a basketballer, can't see him picking football.
 
from the comfort of my loungeroom:-

Rome played a very steady, composed game. Would have been one of SA's best in the first quarter reading the play well and has time to make good decisions. Does not appear to have explosive speed but with his natural smarts will be a good get for us.

Louie - I still don't see it with him, is a very well built 6 footer but just doesn't have hardly any impact on the game.

Benny had a great start to the game kicking the first goal via a fantastic crumb. Has the ability to pick up the ball on the ground cleanly whilst running at 100% which our team so badly need. He had a quieter 2 half but had a stint in the guts in the last where he did ok. Really hope we can get him, has some fantastic tools.
 
Barrett one of the best in the first qtr, hard at the ball and has skill. Kicked a goal early but seems more like a high half forward and mid. Hes a good kick into the forward 50.

Montgomery is a bit like Bergman. Great mark and would make a good intercept defender but they play him anywhere other than defence. Looks vanilla when played on the wing and invisible today up forward. I think he plays defence in the SANFL and gets more of the ball.

Burgoyne doesnt look athletic or very impressive. Played wide in defence, hit some basic kicks and handballs. Stuffed up a few times under pressure
 
Yeah Rome and Louie are rookie list picks at best.

Barrett, my same concern with a lot of 170 something players. He wants to be a mid, but is too small to be a mid and not dominant enough to overcome that, a small forward option but not elite as a small forward.

At AFL level he projects as that hff type. I just don’t see a world where he goes top 40 unless one particular recruiter has a boner for him.

Barrett’s one that is worth adding , but I’m also not cut up if we don’t.


We really need to position ourselves with 2 ok midrange draft picks (2nd and 3rd rounder) and take some young talent to add to our list in particular a genuine small forward, medium forward , small / medium lockdown defender , and a genuine mid.

Barrett as Cat B will be a good get.
 
Can anyone confirm if Charlie Wilson who is playing for Sturt under 18's is one of Michaels lads? It would make sense as they have played there junior footy at Mt Lofty which is in Stur'ts Zone,

Don't know if related... But how good would it be to have Wilbur's kids play for port.

Cheers, he's started to rack up some nice stats the last couple of weeks - just wasn't sure as he has a pretty generic name.

Remember watching Wilbur playing a ressies game very early on, he may have been 18. One thing that was noticeable in his game back then he was playing on-ball was his gut running. I've never seen a guy playing ressies gut running like he was and its something that always stuck with me. If his kids are the same they are a long way down the track to being an AFL player.

It what the Gurus are heaping praise on JHF now for being able to do. Fingers crossed.
