Sounds like hes got RCD covered already.

Not that that is especially hard

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

FMD you blokes love bagging our players

BORING

 

[db26]

Kim Kantilla anyone know about him playing in sanfl.

 

[DeLaCon]

Quick, skilled Aboriginal. Would be a decent pick for us. Early 20s I believe. As I mentioned earlier Id pick him if hes available at our pick.

 

[juss]

Having watched a bit of our VFL recently, there's no one I'd be excited about taking.

Let's look to a younger player having an impact elsewhere. There's a few in the SANFL I think with more upside than anything we've got. Ditto the young Victorian 19 year olds.

Is Jai Culley likely to be gone before our pick? I don't know how it works with the pick order and who does/doesn't have a pick they'll use.

Jai Culley will be gone before us, I'm pretty sure the pick order is based on the live ladder, could be wrong though

Based on last year draft order. Not all teams have picks below ours, but most do. Not sure exactly, we currently might be pick 6 or so.

What about all the kids predicted to be overlooked due to Covid and lack of games everyone was banging on about last year...where are they hiding?

 

[Hank Heavenly]

mail I got is we are really keen on Massimo D'Ambrossio...

just whether he is still on the board or not

Interesting, i didn't know that, either way, Culley should be taken before us

Would be a very Richmond pick...

 

[juss]

Would be a very Richmond pick...

Course he would, he's 10cm and 10kg what we should have

I think I read he's one of the top few picks

 

[Wooden Robot]

Sounds like a good option to me

Saw him play at Merbein last year, very impressed with him on and off the field.
Met him afterward, quite the humble young man.
Got a swag of votes to win the league best and fairest and has really kicked on at the Bloods - great to see.

Kim Kantilla anyone know about him playing in sanfl.

I've been thinking we could do with a second MRJ, and Kantilla seems to play a similar sort of game up forward, but is a bit more of a marking target due to the extra height. From the Tiwi Islands too.

Had 3 goals on debut for South Adelaide. Not sure how he's gone since then though.

How well does he guard space?

 

[DeLaCon]

Im on the kantilla bandwagon

Interesting kid is highly rated this year in nab games would be a good pickup, but is he a pure midfielder or half back.

Will be gone

Dominated the colgate young guns game

Josh Carmichael
Club: West Adelaide, SANFL
Age: 22yrs
Height: 189cms
Weight: 88kgs

“The AFL gave some exemptions over the past week and that’s really shaken the tree I think on who clubs are looking at.

“There’s a lot of interest in a guy called Josh Carmichael, 188cm midfielder who kicks goals, he comes from the country to play for West Adelaide this year in the SANFL.

“So he’s got a number of clubs looking at him with their picks.”

Based on last year draft order.

Nope, based on ladder order at end of May.

Stat-padding overage midget. Pass.

Yep don’t think we’d be taking any of our vfl players

 

[two blue tiger]

Grunt midfielder needed.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Grunt midfielder needed.

Don’t think it would be worth it, have any of the inside midfielders taken in the mid season draft made an impact?

Newcombe maybe, but also some shenanigans went on with him and Hawthron already had agreement on a contract before the draft

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Nope, based on ladder order at end of May.

Yeah...right... Remember that now from last season.

 

[JDC!]

I've played against Kim Kantilla and seen a lot of him in the NTFL.

Certainly a talented player and I'd say that AFL is not out of the question, but I think I'd like to see some more sustained form at SANFL level before committing to him.

He has certainly made a positive start at South Adelaide.
