I like how Rose is likened to Stevie J, Gunston and Lecras, very similar players. Seeing no one's ever heard of him I'm happy to give him 18 months before hes on par with all three. Perhaps we're overreaching. Our head says vezpremi, lamb, towers, our hearts are saying Stevie J, Gunston and Lecras.
Veszpremi had all the talent he needed to be a great player, just not the work rate. A bit like Ed Barlow.
Ed Barlow did NOT have the ability, he was like a headless chicken running around on the football field. 'White Goodes', haha what?!
As I've said on more than 1 occasion who the F is Knightmare and this probably backs it up. The media pay so called expert journo's to come up with a list to justify their pay.Knightmare has written up what he considered to be the top 50 players and he did not include Rose on that list.
That's what I can't understandBecause we don't need a replacement for Goodes in 2016 because we have Membrey...oh wait

That's all they are, having a guess like the rest of us on BF.It is so easy these days to pick the top few as everyone is exposed to all, its not like the old days when you had to go and find a kid in the bush, say like a Dale Lewis. No draft , give him a run in the 2's on the G, ok , he's good lets keep him.Just a poster on BF who does some of the better draft watching/analysis of draftees on the site.
Other posters who are good watches of draftees are Quigley, Chris and Skippos are also worth noting.

I'd come in here to comment on Rose and see I've already been mentioned. Thanks for the kind words Membling
You've got a keeper here in Rose. I mightn't have been as complimentary of him as I could have been in my profiles and rankings but this is the perfect club for him. I've followed Rose closely this year and have been privileged to see him do things that we wouldn't have seen in highlights.
He'll buy in to your culture - he's a kid from one of the top schools in Adelaide but not one of the pretentious all boys schools that get a bad wrap here. He's an educated and smart kid, got reasonable leadership and great application. He leaves everything on the field - he'll work for the team and his teammates will know that when they go into battle, Rose is coming with them. Never need to worry about him taking the soft option. As a bloke he'll develop into a good team man. He's perhaps a little young now - maybe more so than most draftees; I still feel he's a kid not a man but it shouldn't take long for him to adjust.
He's not Membrey. Not close. I'd take 10 James Roses before I took a Membrey. Rose is a brilliant pound for pound contested grab. He hits the ball hard, he leads so hard and steamrolls anything in his way. He's a good shot for goal and a smart forward. His leads are incredible really. He doesn't have a burst but he's capable of leading so hard for so long he burns off his opponent. He hits the red zone in a short term burst and just keeps going - a bit like Nick Riewoldt at times with regards to that extreme mental ability to run so hard to take one mark. Up the ground he's a composed and poised natural footballer. He's not an incredible athlete nor are his skills elite but his natural footballing ability allows him to be a capable option off a wing or in defence.
He's a keeper boys.

Cheers Skippos. Haven't seen much or heard much of him this year as been main dominated by the Vic teams and academy boys.
Natural footballer? Good, prefer them over athletes. Asides, what kind of comparison would you give him in terms of players?
Yay a medium forward. Just what we need.... our track record with these types suggest he will play one game in 3 seasons and be traded for pick 758.
God I hope im wrong but seriously where does he fit into our team? Also that set shot makes me very nervous. Davis has alot of work to put into this guy.
