Player Watch Tom Doedee - Departed for Brisbane, End of 1st Round FA Compensation

[Mike Smyth]

Averages 5 kicks and 3 handballs a game.

. At least we wont care when he leaves.

 

[Golumless]

Thats why they are highlights, this always puzzles me, surely we want to see the bad things.

Only reason i can think off is highlights tend to be trying to sell a player to the supporters who wouldn't know much, that said, most U18 ones tend to show a bit of the good and some of their not so great disposals.

Is this a joke?

Prepared to back Ogilvy. He and his team know a bit more than any of us. Has rarely got one wrong.

Like x 1000000


FFS every year the same nellies, sky is falling, sky is falling! Its our recruiters stupid! They consistently perform well. 3 months later after pre-season said nellies will warm a bit, then 18 months later they'll be confident and then 26 months later they'll be jizzing continuously over him. Book mark it.

How crazy do you think they are? Didn't happen to notice burton was still there? Don't think so. Just happens to be that we rate this dude with a tonne of upside that can be added on by development. We can see what he will be, not what he is.....

He's not a SC selection then ?

 

[Red mist]

Hey man, what about my rug?

 

[FR0GGY]

Is this a joke?

****!

looks like we did get a mckay after all

 

[Samcro24]

So going off ccs mail I guess the plan was trade 9 & 13 for 2 and pick something. Then draft doedee with pick something.

Then it fell through at the death and we draft him with our pick anyway.

 

[Pugsley]

Is this a joke?

****!

I made it into one.

 

[VSTone]

Can someone explain to me in 25 words or less why our first pick was 11 and not 9

think its selections involving academy players from other teams. the academy team has the right to take them first?

 

[Pdub]

Can we call him "The Dude"?

 

[Red mist]

Burton is going to haunt us in the future.

Yeah nah.

 

[DD#23]

If we knew were taking this guy we may as well upgraded our first and downgraded 13 to like 40.

exactly, could be a great player and well worth 13, but strategically we surely could have had him for much less?

its a strange one.

 

[Huntercrow]

How tall is he? Are we maybe looking to develop him as a Mid? Perplexed why we would draft ANOTHER medium HBFer. I'll hold fire though and trust the recruiters, lest this thread get bumped in 5 years when the kid is a star ala The Dangerfield melt

So this guy is another Dangerfield?.......

 

[fabs33]

Word of advice people: be careful what you post in these threads, they often come back to bite you in a few years.


I'm thinking maybe our recruiting department has seen some talent in him that's not necessarily suited to the position he was playing in. Perhaps a midfield role in the future?

No. Noone can.

 

[Red mist]

Can we call him "The Dude"?

Um, yes.

 

[Mike Smyth]

"his disposal needs some work". Great.

 

[MRB37]

So basically from the sounds of it he's a basketballer, who made the switch to footy last year and hasn't played a ton of footy for people to rate him highly, but has shown he's got that "X-factor" that could make him a really good player.

Sounds like we've gone boom or bust with our pick since we had pick #9 in with Milera who we rated as the best at that position in the draft.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Never heard of him but our recruiters have a good record in recent years so lets not freak out. Low average disposals doesn't mean anything, Talia gets FA disposals and he's in our top 5 most important players.

[mistylake]

Without making this thread into a Danger thread I truly think he left because of his missus. First thing we should get Doedoe is a gift certificate to a speed dating night where Adelaide girls who only want to live in Adelaide can attend.

Real goers at that.

academy selections bump the teams up rather than "hold" the players for their next pick.

 

[Sanguinarius]

Maybe it's his non statistical role that attracted us to him?

You know, the old Wright role?

 

[Ravenous Crow]

Are you saying Dangerfield was a win?

Of course it was. We had one of the best players in the AFL playing in our side for a number of years. Do you think West Coast drafting Judd was a win?
