Awesome to get in both a father son and a Sowfs boy. He'll be one that needs development now that he is in the system.

Can he play?
What’s the point of difference?

Brisbane wanted in the MSD, so he must be doing something right.

Honestly, I didn't see a helluva lot of South Freo this season to really know what his point of difference could be but I think he has potential from what I have seen. I always felt that if we were to take him that the club would have felt he has shown enough to prove that if he comes into the AFL system he has a chance to develop into an AFL player.

Looks good.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Nawwwwwww

 

[ImperialPurple]

In true Carr fashion I believe we got him in to belt the snot out of a number 9 weagle. Some grimy bluenyella might even chuck a pie at him.

 

[wakojako]

One of the most puzzling choice in years. Carr is a 20 yr old that couldn't break into the league team at SFFC. His stats haven't been that great either. I am actually excited to see the potential that Walls/Woodland saw in him because this would be one neat trick if they pull it off. Welcome to Freo Carr!

looks like a good mark in this vid

I agree with someone earlier that I think he’ll translate to an intercept defender at the next level.

 

[Wallsy78]

He actually has some elite traits. Looks so smooth and his leap and marking ability is first class. If he was only 18 I would be pretty pumped, but I'm going to temper my expectations of him panning out considering he turns 21 in 2 months. But he has scope to put on some size

 

[Chris25]

Can’t say I watch as much as WAFL as others on here, but my drafting philosophy is there’s two things you can’t teach - overhead marking and foot skills. And Carr looks to have them both.

I’d be tempted to develop him across half back and eventually on a wing, we’ll see.

Well I'm sold, clearly our circa 2013 Fyfe replacement!

But seriously, that's actually a surprisingly nice highlights package, especially considering it's all presumably WAFL league and state level.

Strong mark, nice kick... bulk him up a bit and he might be handy.

Needs to work on his pipes.

+ Mongrel.

You can’t teach mongrel, it is already in the Carr clan DNA.

 

[A New Hope]

This pick goes along way in mending bridges I would say.

 

[Joose]

Jaren looks like a late starter. I seem to remember that he prioritised his studies last year.

Walls has been good at finding diamonds in the rough.

 

[gaskin]

I wonder how much influence Curley has had in picking him up considering he coached him this year.

Hands and marking are young Fyfe like!

Thanks John

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Defensive forward? His tank is ok, maybe he develops into that def winger?

Pretty obvious AFL traits and if we had to get him to stay put of the midseason draft to get him he's clearly on the radar of a couple

 

[Madas]

Of our 3 picks I like this one the most , kid looks good ( hope he’s got the attitude to get to the top )

Hopefully the start of many more F/S picks for Freo

 

[Stinky Lomax]

Lawson Humphreys was pretty much picked out of WAFL reserves for his marking & kicking traits. Carr might just be that for us, has some seriously good fundamentals to work with which is half the battle.
