This is also a helpful reminder that judging draft talent is a crapshoot for mere mortals.Game Day - 2019 AFL Draft Day- RD1, RD2 + beyond
Its Gameday.... Well draft day... Lets see who ends up where and when... It will be interesting to see how it all goes. Will Wellsy do a Wellsy and pluck one... or will it be to script.. whatever that script is LOL. GO Catterswww.bigfooty.com
An absolute hoot of a re-read. All the board's draft guru's foaming at the mouth over Kemp and Robertson, who've collectively done 3/5's of sweet duck all
******* amusing stuff.
"if we go dekoning i'll lose my shit here lol"
"If we go DeKoning over Robertson, or anyone else here... I'll be out in the backyard spewing up"
But here's the immediate aftermath of Wells selecting Sam De Koning at #19
Drunkcat thecatattack were two who were level headed and on the money though. Kudos.
No i watched the swans VFL other week he was good and very hard at it, commentators saying the club love him and fans don't understand why he has not got a game.....after watching him i would love him at the cats
Do we honestly believe Selwood plays for frees? He used to drop his knees as a means of avoiding a should/head high tackle. If they tackled him around the waist there would have been no problem surely?
There’s a compilation on YouTube of the No.of hard hits he gets, quite a few behind play and never reported.
I honestly don’t think he plays for frees. I’m amazed that he can string a sentence together after all the head high treatment he’s received.

Are we underselling the influence Ego has had on SDK's development?
Everyone is going about Harry but not too many are mentioning the work Egan has been doing with him

I can’t believe he’s not the favourite.
Very juicy odds right now.

Funny but a bit harsh. We all like to act like we've never gotten an opinion wrong in these cases.
Happens to everyone, the fact that Narkle is still your avatar when he won't be on an AFL list in 4 months time shows we've all been there.
Why because I like Narkle?? I think he's talented but won't make it at AFL level. Am I only allowed to like superstars?
I took him at $67.

So unsurprised at your lack of ability to see the difference.
See Narkles efforts in last weeks game - short stepping contest, pulling out and not appearing to take a defensive responsibility.
Dekoning - gets laid out by a team mate both straight lining the ball and hardly gets beaten all night.
Narkle - sooking when poor. - effort and commitment questioned.
SDK - not sooking when poor - effort and commitment unwaivering - and really yet to be poor but will at some point.
If you cant follow along, re read it a few times and im sure you'll get the picture.
Go Catters.

I watched the Haw/Pies game...
Newcombe was amazingly good in a dominant wet weather performance..
...Love Sam but midfielders are usually picked and that gives Newcombe an edge.

Beanpole? He's the same weight as Blics - 101kgs
Our players always look a lot smaller, IMO, as our guernseys aren't so tight as others. Always been this way. Look at him during pre-season in his training kit, and that'll give you an idea of how big he is already:
SDK himself has given credit to HT on a lot of occasions, haven't heard him mention Egan.
David King is on his bandwagon ... its a bit hard to compare them really. Not to diminish what he does but how often do mids play on an opponent. Game plans etc tends to see these guys play with a freedom from direct responsibility for a direct opponent. If Naughton had kicked 4 or 5 against us.. it would be Sam Dek that would be directly looked at and charred from Naughtons heat. Just who does Newcombe directly beat each week? Is he coping a tag? The truth may be that they are both rising stars... but by contract 3..my bet is SamDek is the one thats drawing elevated star remuneration.

Think you had a crack at me as I was very obviously taking the piss on the night out of the melters lol.
No harm no fowl.
Should always give every draftee a chance before we get the pitchforks out.
Numerous full time talent scouts + part time state based consultants actually watching numerous games of dozens of players + then adding in the various means of footage available vs the average fan who watches a few clips or matches online.
Chalk and cheese really.
Wasn't trying to be a smartarse at any individual btw. Great that some on here have a passion for youth football. Budda230 turned it into a career, as has Knightmare. But we're all amateurs compared to the masters.Good to be able to laugh at yourself
Was genuinely interested to see what the perception of SDK on draft night was. Fair to say lots of people's opinions of him have grown this year!
The notable draft misses where Wells is perceived to have reached is remembered far more than the times he nails it.
