Happy to stick my neck out here and call it as I say see it.

I do not see a single AFL trait with Archie May. I'm genuinely shocked with the level of press around him leading up to the MSD.

If he makes it, it won't be the first time I've gotten one wrong, but I really don't see an AFL level talent there.

It’s a done deal then

Welcome to north Jacob Edwards clone
 
Yes
And I’ll be the one saying I told you so

If we pass May and he goes elsewhere like collingwood

In the event that we do take him, people will have to remember that he is still developing. He isn’t going to be an immediate impact player, being only 20.

My biggest question mark with him is his lack of contested marking and overall physicality. In all of the games I’ve seen him play (more so at Sandy) he really relies on his leading to get opportunities to score. The eye test suggests that Athletically, he doesn’t have a huge amount of upside either.

So the selling point? He is 198cm, decent lump of a lad already and will be pretty solid once he fills out. Solid goal kicking technique and I’d say good forward craft. So there is a bit there imo.

You also wanted Caleb Ernst from Coburg last year, but he was dropped a week before the mid-season draft and hasn’t played for Coburg since. Given that, I wouldn’t necessarily consider this your area of expertise.

Lol that is a random throwback
But yes I did want him
I don’t think Geordie Payne is any better fwiw

Blight was actually the main one I wanted last year tho and also Hutchinson who went pick 2 and 3

I also wanted Massimo over kal dawson

If you want to keep going back

My mate coaches against him in WAFL and says he has most upside of any young key forward in the comp. He also rates Sellwood.said he's already a better player than guys we have playing at moment.

I think a little harsh.

His movement and agility looks better than state league level to my eye. Certainly looks better than plenty of AFL talls.

He’s certainly not a clunker, but either is Larkey….

So, Dermie dips his wick and Archie May be shite but The Schnoz doesn't smell anything fishy.

Even if Brady passes, I don't think * passes on anything over the height of Raso.

I’d say that’s fair re his agility. Doesn’t have a big turning circle for a big man.

Speed looks avg (which isn’t overly concerning for a big man) and leap doesn’t seem all that impressive.

In saying all that, I’d be happy if we took him.
 

He’d want to pick up a yard and run a 15+ beep then

Maybe getting more than 20 disposals more than once in the last 2.5 seasons at VFL level might get him closer to Dylan Moore also.

I dunno, he’s a 1 in a 100 at his size. Hes hardly putting up Shaun Mannagh VFL numbers…

He’s having his break out VFL season and it’s 15 touches and a goal a game…

Cooper Harvey is averaging 13 touches and 2.5 goals per game…

If people want another Ned Long it’s probably Joel Trudgeon.

Hes not flashy by any means, but 23 years old, 32 touches a game, 7 tackles and almost 9 clearances per game…

2.0 contested marks and 2.0 goals per game at 20 is also good going in the state leagues.

Theres pretty much nobody within 3-4 years of his age not on an AFL list doing that.

Moose averaged 2.5 CM / 1.8 goals per game so far at VFL level this year by comparison.

Don't forget old mate nathan philactides.
 
At least they were drafted for your sake 😂.

The Wizard did his disappearing act again on the weekend FYI.

You definitely have close to zero draft credibility on here.

Lol king Hansen is the Brady burner account

Get back to thinking about which overpaid player we get pay overs for

I hear pick 25 for Daniel is a bargain masterstroke lol

Ah deflection. Brady is an idiot but least I don't want to delist a player for making one mistake like you said with Pink. The Pink hate is going well for you lately isn't it 🤣🤣.

The same Toby pink that continually got caught out of position on the weekend, deciding it would be a great idea to play in front of his man

If you think he’s playing well then you need to question your standards

Good job Brady now we know why our picks are no good

That's great. But I reckon there's a bit more work done by all the recruiters on players with interviews, background/medical info and GPS/Champion data stats on these players than what you've got access to.
Wait and see what happens. Could be some games going on with players teams are linked to.

There's the possibility that May's not much good too.
