Genuine question, why go at 59 then ?
I'm not complaining, but I'm not sure why he went late.

Deeply disturbing? Not a fan of con air or other Steve Buscemi movies?Man if I can be really honest I quite enjoy and agree with most of your posts but find your profile pic deeply disturbing. Not as bad as the other poster who had a somewhat blurry serial killer type face who had I had to IGNORE just because of the profile pic. I Can’t handle it . Clearly my issue
But yeah my posts are decent

He clearly wants the chance at AFL level, look at those emotions even though he knew beforehand that we were taking him. The talent hasn’t evapourated, I think the professional work ethic will come if those emotions are anything to go by.

Know a few Eagles coaches. They rate Welsh higher than Lukosius.
Tyler slid because he failed to have an impact as a 17 year old, in a SANFL team stacked with tup up players.
He also didn’t dominate for SA in the under 18 carnival, playing as a third tall in a struggling forward line.
Watching him live in the SANFl, I believe he has some elite attributes. Strong mark, great burst speed, lovely kick and he hits the ball HARD. Considering that he was one of the younger players picked up in the draft, we need to be patient.

depends what you read, we hid him, he got fat and he was nominated F/S seem to be the leading contenders
Playing in Snrs is pretty hard gig vs U18.
Put on weight - the infamous mandated hamburger diet - could barely run 2km and scared other teams off.
Lose 5-8kg, has real pace, hardness, footy smarts, great judgement of an incoming ball, and good leading, but mainly his kicking -:Fog like. 50+ metres and very accurate
Could be one of the great draft steals
Can you be a little more expansive here? Struggling with pressures of a professional environment etc?
Great to see all of the second year lads there - Curtin, Edwards, Ryan (at the end - I think/assume), T Murray and Rachele akso

It was good to see some of our young guys (Chedder,Ryan and Curtin) with Welsh when he was drafted.
From the vision, and the reactions, it gave the feel that it's been a tough few months for the lad.
The reaction seemed odd given he was guaranteed to be picked.

Scott Welsh is first cousins with Ben Moore who played at Richmond and their uncle is Kym Hodgeman.
Plenty of footy chatter for Tyler past, present and future.
And the No. 17 is a good touch.

Maybe a few hard truths have been conveyed to Tyler
The Club could have easily nominated Tyler for the RD, rather than the National Draft .....1 year Contract, versus 2 year min Contract
Club must have a level of faith in his ability to get AFL fit
Can clearly play. Very excited to see how his development goes
Seeing Curtin, Cheddar, Ryan and Turray at his draft party warms my heart, too

It's concerning that he didn't improve after quitting school to basically be a professional athlete...
I don't quite get all this waffle about him being overweight? Looks fine to me, just has a face where he carries puppy fat similar to Schoenberg.
This kid is a proper footballer, just what we need at the club and he is clearly exteemely happy to be here.
I spotted that, as well as Scotty looking very happy that his son was picked by us...
His dad was a gun. Held our forward line together for years.
