Re: TAC Cup - Kids to look at
Am hoping to head down to ES later this morning to have a look at a few of the games.
Will try and give a bit of a report on a few that catch my eye some time tonight.

Make sure you see the WA side J. Very talented team that move the ball extremely well. They'll have quite a few players drafted inside the top 20.

Has copped some criticism for wearing the helmet, but has a bit of a soft underbelly. Responds very well to a roast, will wedge himself into the best 22 and chip in with some handy performances, especially when temaed up with big Sauce.

Tasmania
Crichton looks a good one, not as mature as the others but he'd be a good get.
Green is also a pretty good player, young but fairly mature.
Boon - very physically mature, might be worth as a later pick perhaps.
NSW
Well they are all tied up by other clubs.

Fowler & Hutchinson are nicely built tall key position forwards. Could be good prospects, moves pretty well. They haven't done a lot to impress though.
NT
Ah Chee is the stand out player.
McAdam is a good classy player.
Troy Taylor looks a good tall player, pretty light still.

We need to stop using our rookie picks to pick old duds from other clubs, Hooper(VC) would be an interesting pick as a rookie.
Vic Country
Rohan looks a very good player, fast ranga, links up well and knows how to use his pace. Loves to take the game on.
John Butcher we won't get.
Martin is a good sized on baller who can find the footy. Pace/fitness questionable?
WA
Swallow is a good running midfielder.
Matera looks all class and could end up being a top line small forward or midfielder. Could end up being a Didak or Steve Johnson type.
Morabito really did well extracting the ball from the center for WA and managed to find plenty of it.
Colyer is small but bloody quick and knows how to use it. Can kick goals and would look good in a forward pocket.
Lucas looks to be a good running player with plenty of endurance, skill and dimensions to his game.

Gaff is Kade Simpson. Kicking looks good, probably turn out bigger than Simpson. Can get the ball.
Talia is a tall defender that I like the look of. Can find the footy.
Fitzpatrick is a 201cm player that has ok skills and is very mobile and quick. Marking and kicking are questionable.
Carlisle is a tall player that looks like he can take a grab. Maybe we could grab him with a later pick or rookie if we aren't able to snare any other talls.
Skully is a good allround midfielder, hard working, hard at it.
Toy is an excellent kick, long and accurate. Looks like an attacking half back, can find the ball.

Re: TAC Cup - Kids to look at
we might need 1 forward, but we need midfielders/flankers with pace and skill and we need an inside on baller.
Pace
Gaff
Ah Chee - very good
Rohan - very good, very quick
Colyer - very fast
Lucas
Most of the WA side and a lot of the NT boys
Talls
Talia - might not be that tall.
Carlisle - he's the best from what I saw.
Fowler - forward
Hutchinson - forward. Defender?
Troy Taylor
Butcher
Inside onballers
Skully - very good
Green
Ah Chee - very good
McAdam
Rohan - very good
Martin
Morabito - Very good
Lucas
We need a goo dinside on baller and pace much more than we need talls.
We have 2 midfielders with genuine pace Judd and Simpson, not good enough. We don't have a good rover and can't get it out of the guts.
We have plenty of talls. It's just we are struggling with injuries with them.

Re: TAC Cup - Kids to look at
I recon Colyer might fall to a late pick because he's pretty short but he's lightning and skillful so height means nothing, he knows how to use his pace.
I would love to get Rohan.
I was very impressed with Morabito how he got the ball out of the center when the game was in the balance. He performed when it counted. 2 Qualities we have lacked since Kouta retired. He's a big bodied midfielder like we need.

We're talking key forwards, not backmen, resting ruckman and oversized wingman/flankers. Don't fall into the trap of only looking at the present and immediate future. It has been a problem for quite a few years for those who can use foresight.

There aren't many key forwards in the draft from what I can see
Panos,Butcher,Fitzpatrick,and possibly Griffiths look likely key forwards to go in the top20.
For this draft i reckon we should get a couple a talls:
Pick 1 Key Forward ( Matthew Panos)
Pick 2 Quick mid (Tavis Coyler)
Pick 3 Tall Forward or back (Jake Carlisle)
Pick 1 Key Forward ( Matthew Panos)
Pick 2 Quick mid (Tavis Coyler)
Pick 3 Tall Forward or back (Jake Carlisle)
Gaff is ineligible, Talia is 195cm
Reckon Gaff would cover a few km's a game

well I kept my eye out for forwards who could:
1. Take contested marks (mark with body contact).
2. Lead and present well.
3. Good body size and height.
4. Speed and fast movements (no slow players or lumbering players).
5. Kicking.
Carlisle looked the best for me. Butcher looked very good last year but didn't look as good this year.
It's really hard to tell from one game though.
There are nowhere near as many good talls this year, but there are plenty of smaller players adn running players.

Talia looked bloody good. Disposal, smarts, ball handling and athleticism are all there. I think he's a pretty good stopper. I dunno what he's like as a forward.
If he's there when we have a pick we should grab him but I dunno about that.
