Heard Brad Hardie on the radio earlier and he mentioned Eagles fans bagging Chesser on footy boards, and he had a bit of a whack at those people, 'give the kids a chance, it's not his fault what number his name is called out, he does not get a say in it'.

So I'm wondering if Brad reads up here?

Anyway, Hi Brad, how's it hanging?

Hi mate. Thanks for listening

Max is 42 but according to his Tinder profile he’s 38.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on here or not, but I feel like Bazzo and J. Williams have really great chances of developing into gun KPPs solely because of the people at the club they can learn off of.

Baz has Gov and Barrass to rub off of and Williams has got Kennedy, Darling, and Allen to help him. Combine that with likely long stints in the WAFL to help develop their skills further, and we could be looking at a sturdy-ass spine in 3-4 years or so.

I have every confidence in Schofield working his magic with both Chesser and Hough. I think they're both going to develop an inside part to their game under his coaching. Just look at Clark as an example and both these kids have a Lot more tools to play with.

Why is Jack Williams a better prospect than Matthew Allen was?

Both taken at similar points in the draft.

Bit taller isn’t he? Wasn’t Allen only like 192?

Chessar looks like he will fill out nicely into one of the powerful type like a Yeo or Shuey

Never gonna draft some mids
Never gonna address list needs
Only gonna draft some flankers
And tall guys

Never gonna mids it up
Always gonna make you frown
Never gonna not trade down
For tall dudes

 

[FKASC]

It’s pretty hilarious that we drafted Colledge, Mallen and Brander - all key forwards and tried to turn all of them into midfielders

 

[mattyc75]

I assume logistically wed only be able to have WA based players as train ons.

We brought in that guy from SA a few years back.fast as winger. Did his knee whilst training with us.never heard from again

You're welcome, but you didn't answer my question, how's it hanging?

So if shep retires we've got 2 spots or we cant replace him?
You'd think if they knew he was going they mightve used the existing pick

Can we please go back to the Subway jokes circa-2019? They were more bearable.

So the fan foy push for Duggan into the midfield sees Chesser needing a few years development in pre seasons. Duggan is very good half back but thats it.

I'm ok on our picks in this draft although I would have had Johnson in front of Chesser.

If we had of got Johnson and an extra future 2nd + our second nights picks i would have been standing up and applauding .

But I'm just not that happy with chesser TBH .

Low production flanker who has been out with injury and rated to go in the 20s for pick 14 when we had the perfect fit for our needs .

Suppose ROB has to pick 1 Victorian kid to prove its worth him being based in Melbourne.

It especially Gauls me because we chose the exact type player reaching with our 2nd pick aswell .

Also burning a future 4th on Clark after he has been overlooked by every club for 5 years and every club for 60 picks this year is just amateurish

We've known Sheppard, for so long
Your head's been aching but,
ROB's too shy to say it

 

[sey666]

This board for the past 2 days is like



Just replace Linebacker by half-back flanker (the WCE equivalent).

 

[Schtinker]

So we should all expect Chesser, Hough and Clark to line up with the midfield group at training. Whats the bet it doesn't happen?

liven up pre-season with Watermelon stories. Sounds awesome.

Our love affair with half back flankers has even Freo trolling us

Have a look at how much battery he has left... who is laughing at who

whinging about the future fourth is looking for something to complain about. We have one first rounder, two second rounders and a third rounder already for next year and add to the fact teams start passing in the 4th.

Imagine had we missed out on him.

Not only at training, but also at the first CBD of the 2022 season, that's what all all 18 year old draftees do, right? If we'd picked Hobbs or Johnson they'd be racking up clearances like the 2006 premiership team racked up lines on their way to the next 3 flags.

*not a go at you, just at the posters who think our draft picks would walk into our midfield day dot and make a difference. Sam Walsh and that fat ginger from GC aren't pick 12's
