Good luck to him

 

[hairy biker]

Of all our selections this is the guy who excites me the most.
I was really surprised he made it through to our pick and delighted we took the opportunity to select him and now hoping he delivers on his undoubted talent.

Definitely a guy with the X-factor.

Go well Jaiden.

Bloody hell the kid is over 1800 years old.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Welcome Jaiden.

 

[RUNVS]

I like him from the footage we have seen. Wonder why he was not picked up in the main draft as even with his injuries what he did on the field seems more than good enough to go in the second or third round.

, but maybe that is just the SA connection?

 

[Callipygian]

I reckon we must have rated him in our top 30 which is why we couldn't pass him by. I can't imagine we rated Cam Owen higher but he was a need.

Chris Doerre had him at 30. Shifter had him in his unranked top 40.

Hayward was seen as a forward at draft time, but Magor has the inside mid game as well.

I reckon we needed to take a mid and Jaiden is it. Goalkicking is a bonus.

Boy did that video get me excited

 

[Bloods86]

Yeah the fact that his inside game, clean hands and power are noted strengths is promising. I reckon he'll play mostly mid in reserves since we lost Taylor, Bell and Ronke, unless we have someone like Clarke lose his spot (to someone other than Sheldrick or Roberts), but will roll forward at times. Good weapon to have. Increases his chances of getting a debut sooner too.

Looks nicely built too now I'm not saying he'll play r1, but he has a body if need be that could play a game or two next season. We seem to love these multi positioned mids.

 

[Maximumlnsanity]

Our 2nd highest externally ranked prospect comes at the back end of the draft, hilarious.

For real though I ****ing love this pick, Magor could be our first great rookie pick since Papley

 

[J_Moore]

Why’d he slide to the rookie draft?

 

[RUNVS]

Why’d he slide to the rookie draft?

Was injured for 2 months at a crucial time for juniors to show what they have to recruiters.

 

[Maximumlnsanity]

Why’d he slide to the rookie draft?

Limited sample size maybe? He missed 2 months with injury. It was one of those drafts where the recruiters and the draft experts didn't seem to have the same opinions on talent outside of the first round. Players like Szybowski, Gilbey, and Hagan didn't get picked up at all while Kinnear & Co. had "bolters" Vickery and Mitchell ranked in the top 20

Pretty much identical height/weight to Rowbottom when drafted, who played 12 games in his debut season. Now, we're in a vastly different place than back then, and I doubt Magor gets more than one or two games at most, maybe none, but his forward prowess will help him. We certainly wouldn't be putting him into the mids at senior level.

Never know with injuries but you’d hope not. There would be a few ahead

I first saw this guy in the U18 game SA v Allies and was impressed with his movement and a couple of goals he kicked, one a routine 35m shot straight in front and then a round the corner kick from the fwd pocket. The first with his right foot, the second with his left. (Both goals in the vid above).
Unfortunately he went off injured in that game and wasn't sighted until the last 2 SANFL colts games for the season.

It wasn't a star performance by any means, but I then had a look at his stats in the state U18 comp.
The 3 games prior to the Allies game, he had 24, 41 & 28 disposals, 5 goals, ave 7 clearances & ave 4 tackles.

I've only seen the highlights of his 2 games back, but 5 goals & 6 goals in those matches. (highlights in the vid above) and to quote the analyst in that vid "put the team on his back" in the final game when his team was 4 goals down at 3Q time. Kicked 4 in the last including the match winner.

Link to his stats from the SANFL U18 comp;

South Adelaide - SANFL

sanfl.com.au

Averages 22 disposals, 6 marks, 3 tackles, 4 clearances and 2 goals.

Pretty happy we selected this guy.

That Glenelg statline, ****ing wow

 

[SeanM]

I liked that video. If he can regularly win lots of possessions and kick multiple goals at U18 level, that is a promising base to build off.

I also like his versatility as a dangerous medium forward or adding something different to our midfield.

Seems some similarity to Brayden George where he has been injured for a lot of the season yet still played several dominant games as a medium forward. But at least Magor is ready to go for next season.

Yes Magor had a much less serious injury than George so not only will he be ready next year but there is less of a risk of him getting injured again.

Are you in SA HB? If you are you would have seen plenty on him. I hope he makes it. Good story

Great name - sounds like he’s emerged from a fiery pit of doom in Mordor.

Which is great, as it means “go home risk” is virtually nil.
