Re: Preddis and Hurn

Priddis topped the league this round for centre square clearances with 6

Another interesting point is that, while Hurn was rated a good prospect and the Eagles traded to get high enough in the draft to grab him, no-one was interested in Priddis until the Eagles put him on the rookie list . Wasn't he about 21 or something before we picked him up ?

Yep Priddis trained with both Kangaroos and Adelaide and was told he wasnt good enough by both Craig and Laidley. Laidley had a few stern words to say to him and after he got promoted onto the senior list he gave him a call to tell him he was wrong.

Good on ya "Sideshow" ! Give the knockers some stick !

At the start of the year I highly doubted that Priddis could actually perform in the same side as Kerr and Judd, but they have improved with him in the side doing a fair bit of the work in the packs.

How the hell will Butler get back in the side with both Hurn and Priddis doing well.

Cousins Nicoski Fletcher may also run into some trouble too. Mitch Morton too cos he deserves to be in the starting side. No idea what Woosh does here. It really is our biggest concern atm

we should be allowed to play 24 players IMO

it's only fair

If Army has a couple of bad weeks and Morton can continue his form then there could be a call up.

I remember before the 2005 draft there was a lot of talk about Grant Birchall not going past 13 because we had him ranked very highly and we doubted any played we ranked higher would've been available. As it turns out Hurn was there.

At this point it's hard to call which play has done better but Birchall has been given far more of a shot at the Hawks then Hurn has with us. Also Birchall is more of a reciever than Hurn is.

As for Priddis, I think Fremantle made mistakes by not taking him and Armstrong before us. I know they're not the types Fremantle needs right now but they will soon enough.

Hey I called that before season proper..

I will find the thread soon enough.

EDIT: I though it was in the "Who is best placed to crack our 22" season 2007 but no luck.

You'll just have to take the Big Mans word for it.

You're wrong Late 2004 Priddis attended a Rookie Camp with Adelaide. Was not picked up but received very positive feedback by Craig.
Priddis has never attended any training with Kangaroos, and has never even spoken to Laidley or anyone else from the Roos. He did not call him at all, and would be completely out of character for Priddis to do so.

Re: Preddis and Hurn

I want Hurn in Dogs colours next year. Going to be an excellent player for you guys. Go the SA lads!

Maybe Rosa will be the odd one out, then again Butler will have to beat Fletcher to that spot and eventually Cousins. So all three of Fletch, Butler and Rosa may not even be in the side once Cuz returns. Scary...

Our recruiting and drafting rulz.

Rosa is deadweight to me, though. Doesn't get the ball as much as Priddis, isn't as damaging as Butler.

Funny thing is Woodhouse used to teach my class PE in highschool. He was a bit of a dick, thankfully he went to the Eagles sooner rather than later!

Such "deadweight" that Collingwood alledgedly wanted him (and pick 16) in exchange for Tarrant at the start of this season ! Give him a bit of a go , he's only played 20 something matches and I think that his play is improving all the time !

 

[Val<3WCE]

Yep, I have to say I'm loving have this sort of problem. Priddis, Hurn and Rosa are performing really well but the only problem I can forsee is:

If they get dropped for Fletch, Nicko, Cuz etc and don't get much game time, are they going to want to leave?? I'd be sad to see any one of them go to another club after showing so much potential.

I doubt it. They're still young and we hardly ever get people leaving our club, we're just such a fun group

Plus, Fletcher won't be there for much longer and Nico will have a hard time breaking into the side, think Graham.

I think the comparison of birchall isn't a very good one, Hurn is a much more inside player getting the hardball etc. A much better comparison for Birchall is probably Rosa. Very similar stats too:

http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?tid1=11&pid1=1620&tid2=19&pid2=1512

though rosa was drafted the year before, he was a lot lower pick as well.

Hence me writing: "Birchall is more of a reciever than Hurn is". The reaon I'm comparing them is because it was said that West Coast were very keen on Birchall but obviously not as keen as they were on Hurn.
