List Mgmt. Welcome Bo Allan (Pick 16, National Draft 2024)

[bzparkes]

What is this based on?

I don’t think I’ve seen much that screams mid to me.

He made the All-Australian under 18s side as a mid, maybe?

 

[Lazzas]

Where can you get the stats for his under 18s Championships in there entirely?

So was Ginbey

 

[bzparkes]

So was Ginbey

Yes but he's only 2 years into his career and didn't play that role he made midfield in, which was inside/extractor.

He's mostly played outside receiver/wing for WCE, due to Yeo and Reid being the inside bulls.

Wherever he ends up I have no doubt he'll be a very good player though.

 

[Shueygod]

Even Wardlaw's not even a great example, though people will use him to compare to Ginbey to shit on Reuben.

Bloke averages just over 3 disposals more than Ginbey anyway.

Clearly a better clearance player though.

People are just seduced by the likes of Daicos, Sheezel, Ashcroft getting big numbers when they are far and away the outliers.

“Why is player who at his peak will rely predominantly on athleticism to be effective in the midfield not lighting up the AFL in year two? He has muscles so surely he should be matching it with prime AFL midfielders”.

The reality is he has shown just as much or more midfield ability as “pure mids”, Mackenzie, Clark, Tsatas, Hollands from the same draft class.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

How about we just see how he does next year before writing him off?

0:42 second mark - maybe there was and I just missed it, but I don’t feel like I ever saw a natural and decisive move like that from Ginbey in any of his draft footage.

Showing as much as you say is surely a good thing in the limited time he has played midfield. Lot's of upside and has a good footy pedigree. Will be a good player. Go and watch how he is using his footy smarts in tight. Sees ball gets it I'm convinced he will be a good midfielder. Time will tell I guess.

Another lefty.

Channeling the Hawks dynasty

WCE threepeat incoming!!!

Reid, Ginbey, Allan, Hewett & Hall are going to menace oppo teams for years to come

 

[Astro7]

[Miguel Sanchez]

He looks like a beast.

Give him the 27

 

[Cuzz09]

Bo was born in 2006.

He was a few months old when we won the 06 flag.

Geez I feel old!

Could be fun watching them match up against Brayshaw, Serong, Young and the lesser Reid

M Reid has been dudded in that it's going to be really hard for him to get games at Freo. He's not breaking into their midfield at the HFF has Boltan and Walters to get past. I can easily see him asking for a trade after 2 years.

I'm glad we didn't get him as we already have a bunch of young guys to develop at HF.

Walters is finished

Same last name but they're not related I believe.
