If the club told him, make sure you enjoy your year, it’s gonna get real hard next year, I would be ok with that, and with him being a little loose, up to a point.

Has Laird condemned Welsh for his 2km time yet?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Not really, nobody had Lucas Camporeale or Joel Cochran anywhere near the top 30 but they got invites to the National Combine.

Hadn’t thought of that

Was surprised by both in hindsight

But do you think that would be something a professional football club would do

‘Just have a gap year ‘

I don't know, if we were one we probably wouldn't. I thought this year was a waste on the fact we should have seen what he could do in short bursts in the midfield

 

[TryAnHit]

I def think we tanked him down the order. Why waste top picks when we can get him cheap. He will be a longer term project anyway.

 

[Clayton Lamb]

It is interesting though that yet another SA prospect that was highly touted before their draft year slides out to be almost not a main draft pick

Even if he wasn't tanking the last 6 months like a good boy, it didn't sound like he'd be a first round pick.

Same last year with Ashton Moir. And many others before that.

It's not great when the talent we rely on most seems to hit a development wall before they even reach 18

Arlo Draper too.

define a football?

Been already called out

Didn't Port 'hide' Tredrea back in the day so they could get him without the competition they would normally have had to draft him?

lol .. have you been ducking for cover?

 

[cleanhands]

You betcha

 

[PeterSalt]

You betcha

TBF .. they'd all be round balls

Someone just do a damn poll... Will Welsh be...
A grader
B grader
C grader
Out of the system in < 5yrs

Then we can all see who's right on him and who's not.

It’s not about who’s right and who’s wrong it just how we see it

It's not a matter of who's right or wrong. Noone seems to dispute that he has talent. Noone can argue that he hasn't regressed physically in the last twelve months and developed a large paunch.

Noone can reallly argue that how he ends up on your outcome scale isn't entirely up to him.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

2022 U16's National Champions to bottom in 2 years at the 2024 U18's Nationals

We need to lower the draft age

 

[1990crow]

We need to lower the draft age

Send them all to Geelong Grammar.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We got special permission for him to play and train with us this year instead of the Eagles

First time we have ever done that.

Behind closed doors we have 100% guaranteed to take him. Let’s not be naive.

Watching the footage - he wasn’t trying at all. The weight is a concern but no question he will be a Crow

An interesting sociological experiment

Most 17 year old AFL wannabes are in a make-or-break year. Desperate to impress. Leave no stone unturned, push themselves to the brink.

Short term the drafting guarantee maybe decreased the urgency a fraction for him. Long term I don't think it will matter and I like what I've seen of him.

Crows should be winning a final next year

Guessing that by trading the pick to an f3, we end up swapping f2's and give an f3 to GWS who don't need more late picks this year?

Or we are giving a f2 and f3, reckon it’s fantasy land to think we are getting their f2
