I wouldn’t say they get sucked into hype. ‘Hype’ for recruiters would be when they’re all in attendance and a player puts on a show, and they all walk away going wow.i would be, but he hasnt got the hype around him that other prospects have gotten, so it is a possibility unfortunately...
i do believe hype has an influence over recruiters.

There are obvious trends in coaching, like certain styles of play that have shown to be successful in the recent past (pressing, flooding, holding space, pressure, team structures, quick rebound).Recruiters are absolutely impacted by hype, but it's hype about player types and their value in the AFL, rather than individuals - though there's obviously intersection between the two.
Look at the shifts between picking athletes and footballers, where talls are taken, the impact a dominant player like Martin or Bontempelli has on the types taken early, and so on. Those patterns are certainly influenced by collective attitudes (hype, if you like) about what is valuable in a player.
On the other hand, will your supporters will burn their memberships if you don't pick Dayle Garlett? That has zero influence whatsoever.
Recruiters are humans.I don’t believe hype influences recruiters one bit.
Neither Williams or Mitchell did get drafted both had to go the hard way, Carlton rejected Williams from their U19's and he went back to Bendigo I think before being picked up by Geelong. Mitchell played at Box Hill for a year after being overlooked so those guys have always found it tough and had to prove them selves over and over.Recruiters are humans.
They like the rest of us get sucked into hype.
Like the rest of us they will have biases in all sorts of areas, they will over rate first impressions at times, over or underate things they see based on earlier opinions, they will be influenced by others and often over rate their own points of diference.
As a general rule I think recruiters in general are over rating potential upside in comparison to existing performance. I think the industry has skewed too far in that direction.
I also think that as rule currently, those who dont look like footballers dont get picked up. The example I give in Rugby league is Allan Langer, an all time great by any measure, he wold get a run in an under 16 rep team. He is too small, isnt fast enough, he kicks a bit a funny, but what he can do is play football.
Greg Williams or Sam Mitchell are probably AFL equivalents, neither would get drafted at the moment,
It will swing back again.
Then West Coast grab him with 36!All we need is Motlop to say he would rather stay in Perth Bailey Smith style
He's more a forward really, played all his colts forward and it was only really the championships that he went back.We have 2 interception defenders in Andrews and Adams already on the list Van Rooyen is more that possession tall defender that we don’t have
If Brisbane Lions draft him it will be as a defenderHe's more a forward really, played all his colts forward and it was only really the championships that he went back.
Yes, Josh Browne has an awful kick on the run. He'll definitely slide, and be late to rookie if at all.I have to agree on Roberts and Williams, although Williams is probably less likely to miss out just on being a well performed KPP in the Academy.

Early surprise, Caminiti is one I have a sneaky feeling someone in the early 30s or late 20s may take a punt on, and Sheldrick I think will go 15-25, not a massive bolt though
Even for strengths, outside of accumulation (which is, in the nicest possible way, easy enough at WAFL Colts level) I don't see a POD for him at the next level, even his performances against SA weren't impressive, so much so I can't even remember if he played the first oneYes, Josh Browne has an awful kick on the run.

Agreed. The only thing I liked is his movement out of a stoppage and by hand he was effective. But that's not enough to get you drafted.Even for strengths, outside of accumulation (which is, in the nicest possible way, easy enough at WAFL Colts level) I don't see a POD for him at the next level, even his performances against SA weren't impressive, so much so I can't even remember if he played the first one
If the framed GWS guernsey doesn't get a run tonight...No LED RGB lights in the background, whats the good of it!

Who's there?Knock knock
Owens...... haha it’s not gonna really work from here but over the moon we can get. I was worried for so long because watch him play I thought he was every bit a first rounder. The lock down came just at the right time for usWho's there?
