Houston would be winning our BnF right now. Surely

Ryan Burton would like a word with you

 

[philthy05]

Houston would be winning our BnF right now. Surely

1.Houston
2. burton
3. Boak

Would bet my house on that being the count right now.

Arguably in the all-aus team as of right now too.

Reckon there’s massive underrating of Bonner going on right now too. Tightened up defensively, and offensively is a massive weapon for us and means teams can’t lock down and assign a defensive forward to Houston or burton, as the workload is very well spread.

 

[Jonts]

At this rate we will be able to get rankine for free in a year or 2

And Luko will be an upgrade on Marshall sure, but sadly his current trajectory isnt the Nick Riewoldt he was showing

on 19 is the leader for the Coaches votes.

 

[robbo1981]

Robbie and motlop nearing the end and Orazio always injured a speedy small forward should be a priority.
Pickett not leaving anytime soon would of thought we sould definitely be in rankines ear.

Is luko really an upgrade on Marshall?

SPP?

 

[philthy05]

SPP?

Behind those three but yeah he would be right up there. From memory he’s been pretty consistent.

 

[philthy05]

Is luko really an upgrade on Marshall?

On production… no.

On potential? Probably? Possibly? I once thought so but more and more I’m concerned about lukos development as a kf. The longer he stays at gcs the less likely I think it is he will become a kf.

Marshall is much more an actual kf than luko is at this stage, who has been pretty luke warm in the role, so much so that gcs seemingly have abandoned it and moved luko back to the wing / halfback this past weekend?

 

[davesnothere]

Todd still under rated around here. Todd’s still only 23 and looking more and more like Wazza every week.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

SPP?

A quick glance at the coaches votes (without actually adding them up) and I'd say it's roughly ...

Houston
Burton
Rozee
Marshall
Boak
SPP

In that order

 

[Powerage]

Todd still under rated around here. Todd’s still only 23 and looking more and more like Wazza every week.

I am stoked with the improvements in Todd's endeavor in the last 3 games prior to Cairns. But he looked nothing like Wazza in last weeks 7 possession, 0 tackle, 1 contested mark game. Even taking into account the conditions.



Todd's goal accuracy is phenomenal. If he was kicking at his career 56% he would be sitting on 8.4 goals at his career average of 1.1 goals a game. His tackles are well up which is great, he is taking more marks and hopefully the improved kicking at goal is a sustained trend. Along with the improvements in endeavor and attitude the wheel appears to be turning.

However lets see how he is sitting at least come the bye before breaking out the Wazza comparisons. Tredrea was well on his way to his second AA Guernsey at Todd's age.

He doesn’t have to be on the same timeline as wazza but Todd is playing with confidence and intent. We want the ball in his hands. That’s what we got from wazza. I’m actually worried bringing Charlie back into the side could mess up what is beginning to look like a more potent forward line. Bombing it to a player where the best outcome is that he’s not having a shot at goal has it’s limitations as a game plan.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Small forward wise:

• Bedford from the Dees
• Rankine from the suns, pending cost
• Petruccelli from the Eagles, has the speed, not a bad kick

All would be relatively cheap (maybe not Rankine) and would add depth and speed in an area we desperately need.

Would still hope we are gearing up for a plan to get JHF next year.

is holding off contract talks until later in the season while Essendon also needs to work on re-signing its three top-10 draftees from 2020.

Seven reports McGrath, the No.1 pick in the 2016 draft, is in no rush to sign a new deal though it would be unlikely for him to request a trade away.

The only top-10 players from the 2020 crop yet to sign a contract past their original draft deals, Archie Perkins, Nik Cox and Zach Reid are all without a deal for 2023.

 

[powermacs]

Is it me or is McGrath not that good.

You'd struggle to find an Eagles fan that doesn't want Petrucelle delisted, and Bedford gives me massive poor man's Sam Gray vibes. I wouldn't mind taking a punt on Rankine if the price is right, but the last thing we need is more shit small forwards with very little upside.

I'd be thinking the Bombers move on Rutten within a month and the players want to be sure of the new coach before they commit.

 

[malcheski]

Is it me or is McGrath not that good.

Looking back at that 2016 draft and he would be pushing it uphill to be drafted in the top 10 if it was done today

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Right now you would be looking at players Gold Coast don't think are good enough for their list. There are a few that seem to go alright at other clubs.

 

[Winganeen]

Robbie and motlop nearing the end and Orazio always injured a speedy small forward should be a priority.
Pickett not leaving anytime soon would of thought we sould definitely be in rankines ear.

We've plenty of these.

Rozee, Farrell, Pep and Butters can all rotate through with high impact; Williams, Mead and Schofield still learning the craft. Then there's others untried who could make good small forwards, Bonner and Fredrick spring to mind.


Maybe go for one in the draft, late pick and pray for the next Robbie Gray.

The key is a good specialist small speedy forward, apart from Faz, Gray and maybe Williams (fingers crossed) the rest are fill in part timers in that role (butters and rozee are now mids). Good specialist forwards are the new gold in today's footy and are a real point of difference in structures.

We have this guy called Orazio Fantasia but he never seems to actually play ...
