Welcome Welcome National Draft Pick #13 - Jordan Gallucci

[mistylake]

I think the acadamies prepare them these days prior to the draft.

If someone would give me a dollar every time the phrase "in good stead" was said in the footy season I could retire today easily.

With brouchs latest set back I reckon a spot in the midfield rotation for round 1 is ripe for the picking. Looks to be a seriously mature 18 year old and hopefully adds another dimension.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Reckon at this stage that Poholke is more likely to play in Brouch's role. That said, I think CEY has got himself an opportunity.

Still think Gallucci could play a solid 10-15 games this year

Hoping like hell Galucci isn't made of glass like Brad Crouch.

He definitely hasn't shown that so far

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Step right up!

 

[mistylake]

I was happy until I realised his name rhymes with rucci

The goodoochi

 

[mistylake]

Looking at that photo, I think Davis could fill out quite nicely. Probably has the widest shoulders of that group.

Yeah I was thinking he's got a Harto physique.

Obviously.

I expect this kid to play round 1 now with Crouchy out.

I am both hoping and expecting that Hampton gets first crack through the midfield. Crouch is out so we have lost some pace, may as well see what this guy can do and there's no better chance.

Next on my list would be CEY, and then probably Poholke and the Gooch.

If we resort to playing Thommo however I'm going to be beside myself.

The setback to Crouch makes me miss Jarred Lyons even more. I was warming up to the trade after seeing what we got in Poholke but I think we needed a player this season instead of one for the future. Poholke might be a great player one day but it looks to me like that player exchange could have shot our chances this season in its foot.

Needs time to develop as do all draftees, out of the top ten picks from last year how many went into the midfield and took up the the output or even anywhere near what is required in AFL. Great prospect this kid but not this year

That's my thinking as well ......need to temper expectations on Gallucci for 2017

Still believe Hampton, Knight, Menzel, and even Greenwood are still better options than Lyons ......who probably hit his ceiling last season

All depends whether or not Lyons ceiling is better than those others you mention, only time will give us the answer to that

Agree, except for Greenwood

There is no way Lyons would ever be the difference between a premiership and no premiership.

Set your mind at ease.

We needed to refresh the list...and continue to do so.
Pyke passed his assessment on Lyons and obviously didn't see his skill set as a plus moving forward with his game plan. IMO Lyons lack of pace, that and the fact he obviously rated M. Crouch as superior as the inside extractor.......and we have so many better forward options than Lyons.

yet

 

[Deaneus!]

Just saw the pic in the OP.

He looks like he's 30.

What's up with that?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Agree, except for Greenwood

Why?

He was super impressive in the SAFL and has way more tricks than CEY

I'm going to assume the club will try to play Thompson at every opportunity. The Crows don't have an ounce of courage when it comes to making decisions like these.

What do you mean, you just saw it? It's your post!


Yeah, I know it was probably edited afterwards. Those damn mods.

What playing a kid who is unlikely to have any impact in his first year of AFLfooty, he will get a few games off the bench, unless they are considering a year of tanking and playing youth to fast track their development

One of the things mentioned in the earlier video was ''not playing against men'' , that to me is code for SANFL for most of the year. I might be surprised but I think there might be limited opportunities this year
