List Mgmt. Welcome Elijah Hewett (Pick 14, 2022 National Draft)

[WCE_phil]

The article states:

“The findings of this assessment, along with their past medical history, including injuries, illnesses, medications, surgeries, scans and more, are added to the league's medical platform, which can be accessed by relevant staff from all 18 clubs.”

Are you suggesting that’s not correct?

I'm suggesting that not all relevant information is provided. Things like a player having multiple scans but only 1 is available, non disclosed concussions. Major illnesses, medications and briefs on their medical history is provided as well as some scans.

Now i'm not sure if there is a consent issue here and the AFL are actually providing all the information they are allowed but things 100% get missed. Like incidents in junior preseasons.

FFS an underage player had sexual relations with an animal and whilst almost all clubs knew about it eventually, the drafting club didn't.

Thanks, that’s interesting.

The West has reported that the Eagles weren’t aware of Hewett’s sesamoiditis. Do you know why that is?

I'm sure said player probably doesn't make the invite list for the players in the list who have farms...

Hewett hid the injury during his draft year, got a bit better over the break before drafting and played through it in his first year.

Brilliant. We all knew on here, how could they not??

Surely you are not suggesting that all Clubs read and scour big footy for intel, so therefore they should have known ..... well I'll be danged.

 

[Boohemian]

Hang on - is this real ?!

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I've obviously missed the thread on draftee and farm animals, and i for one, and grateful i did.

From memory that was just myself and Robert Harvey. Plantar Fasciitis.

(Sure Harvey's was deliberate and I took a misstep but it sure as **** hurt, fixed the issue in just over a week)

Travis Gaspar did it deliberately as well, from memory.

A month later, a West Coast Eagles player tried the same method to fix his plantar fasciitis after 3 months of failed treatment. He tried the same method by jumping off his fence, and managed to release his plantar fascia as Harvey did… but broke his ankle badly in the same jump.

Don't remember the broken ankle part

It does sound like a very Travis Gaspar thing to do however haha

Not specifically but there are/were a couple thought to be insiders on the board.
It would have been prudent to have a further look regardless imo Uncle.

isn't said player on Geelong's list a certain ruckman with back issues

Said player may have been more comfortable at Whitten Oval.

Player Watch - 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids. Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish. Trade speculation belongs here. That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades. Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk...

Sex life guyz!!!

 

[WCE_phil]

It could be worse, you could be the much less talented brother and be on video performing a sex act with a cat.

 

[Keys]

The above is a picture of Elijah Hewett.

You’ll notice the absence of any dogs. Or cats

Maybe we can keep the discussion similarly free of household pets

 

[THE A5]

No cats or dogs but I see a crouching Tiger

Hewett hid the injury during his draft year, got a bit better over the break before drafting and played through it in his first year.

Debate on medical info being disclosed aside, Hewett was a top 3 chance in his underage year before having quite a down draft year from memory (which we now know was likely the injury).

If he does get his body right and reach what we think is his potential I'd absolutely feed off the balance out of karma from having Sheezel + this year's draft hamstringing us with Vic prospects and the go home factor, with us getting Hewett for the extra pick.

Obviously the most optimistic scenario but Hewett becoming every bit as good as the Sheezel pick 3 (talent-wise very possible) and Ginbey becoming an excellent player in his own right, the AFL media finding a way to melt about it, us winning a flag against North while Grego tags out Sheezel in a Hutchings/Sidebottom style, can already taste it
