2014 Mature Aged Players

[Sydswans0512]

Extremely talented but hasn't had the work ethic. Hopefully this is sinking in as he could be anything. Good start to the year though. Heard a rumour that the Hawks were keen 2 years ago but on advise from Westies went with Kaiden Brand due to this very reason.

14 clubs inquired about Mason and only 4 for Brand, Masons work ethic definitely does let him down

Talent gets you attention, work ethic gets you drafted though

Talent gets you attention, work ethic gets you drafted though

Or sacked before the season starts (see Dayle Garlett)

He wasn't living in Adelaide then so it made it tough looks like he's on the right track now

I wonder what is stopping Shane Nelson (West Perth)? The guys is still young and he gets 30+ possessions every week. There is obviously something that makes him undraftable, but I have no idea what it is.

Pace, kicking penetration, size perhaps? What is the absolute standout quality he has?

Or so the media says. Very savvy by the Hawks

Are we considering overlooked draftees as 'mature aged'? If so Ben Cavarra, Sam Heavyside and Aaron Heppel will all have a look in IMHO.

Shannon Taylor debuted for the Frankston Dolphins last week and he is just a class above VFL. Smooth mover, quick, good skills. Could be anything after having moved across from the west.

Is this the Shannon Taylor who was rated highly in 2011/2012 but had a poor season in his draft year.

Yeah, it is. Kid is all class

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Really? He left Western Australia? He had like two kids before the draft if i remember correctly.

 

[TradeDraft]

What about Lachlan Ferguson from Collingwood's VFL Side?

 

[Big Bryza]

Only really aware of Box Hill Blokes:

The most likely apart from Mirra to press are:

Liam Tobin 187cm 22 year old Utility who keeps improving every year
Sam Collins 194 cm defender in his second year form Oakleigh Chargers
Mitch O'Donnell 179cm Rover in his second year out of Eastern Rangers

Late reply but what about Xave Murphy? Seems to be getting better each year and should just about hit his straps this season.

Feel sorry for the bloke

Yeah at Franga now. As a teenage parent, he will be in his element.

His ability to get in and under and get 35+ possessions each week. That is all Nelson has in his favour. He isn't super quick, he doesn't kick the ball 60 m and he is always going to be relatively slight. But he gets the ball 35+ times per game and usually does something with iy.

Has started the season extremely well. Had a sensational game a fortnight ago where he kicked 4 goals by half time and ended up having getting it 28 times. Backed it up last week with a 22 disposal, three goal performance. I think he's a very clever footballer - ends up in the right spaces time and time again as well as being a classy user of the ball. Very slight build though, which is the only query about his suitability to the next level, but I'd like to see him get a chance.

middleton kicked another 3 goals for us last night. provided a target all night, contested well.

 

[Hellgood]

24 disposal, 5 goal game for Hampson against East Perth tonight.

 

[GrandBlue]

Justin Hardy anyone?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Justin Hardy anyone?

Playing for West Adelaide this year but hasn't been named in any of the first three rounds. Must be injured.

EDIT: Has a knee injury, will be back in 2-3.

 

[AdelaideFan14]

Josh Glenn has had 17 touches to half time for Centrals against the Crows Reserves in the SANFL today. Commentators on radio seemed to think he may be more inclined to nominate for the draft this year.

He was killing them

 

[craffles]

Any ex AFL players running around in state leagues a chance for another call up at the end of the year?
