I disagree, you can't just ignore the bad things in a profile and cling to the good. Taking this long to even build a half forward tank is such a red flag on a footballers profile, especially considering we had Burgress. Either he's lazy or, more likely (seeing his defensive work has genuinely improved as a small forward), just doesn't have the body that can build that tank.

While I agree it's make or break for Taylor, every year is make or break for him. He's a role player who's stuck having to find a role.

Shifter said he just couldn't believe he slipped that far.

Ben Dixon's interviews are painful

Only narrowly outdone by Mick Ablett’s moronic analysis.

 

[Crow till I die]

So pick 53 comes in to pick 46. How good is that!!!

 

[JennyTalia]

Half of them are the boys with the dancing feet apparently.

Beat me to it.
I've never heard anyone else use that expression but shifter can't wait to trot it out for anyone with some speed or agility.

Phillipou

Some players take longer to build their fitness base to play AFL, he has now. He has shown he has the talent both or midfield. It's make or break as he was given only a year contract so he knows it's make or break for him, some were worry given his mid year form that he would request a trade since he hasn't re-signed.

For those with a desperate need for a midfielder Riley Onley is still on the board, what's to lose if he's still there at our pick, he's the only mid left on the board Rookie Me rate his ceiling as ELITE, Has all the tools size, power, speed, athleticism, clean hands to be a star if he wants it bad enough.

Riley Onley Draft Profile

Murray Bushrangers midfielder Riley Onley possesses power and speed at 195cm, providing a point of difference among this year's crop.

Massive long shot for Taylor to be ever be a full time mid

Pedlar and him pinch hitters until they get midfield fit , which on evidence is unlikely

 

[MarkmyCrow]

Chamberlain went to the Dogs.

Carmichael ?

 

[CDC60]

We had a pick 4 in SDraper look miles off it in his first year now we are calling for Marsh to replace Tex in his first year?

Mate you are very sensible poster but lets be real here.

No one is replacing Tex. He's a unique talent; underestimated by many.

 

[Danger in Texas]

As much as he seems like a FIGJAM, I’d jump Phillipou in the 30’s if we could trade up

There’s definitely some high level untapped traits there

 

[BRL121]

Chamberlain went to the Dogs.

Drink?

 

[Swan97]

Morris is the same height and a gun already.

Watch the kid kick a goal from 55 and you’ll change your tune.

Plus a elite left footer who can lead up at the ball and take it out in front reminds me of jezza a bit with the silk of Gunston

Really hoping he gets to us. Been reading that Collingwood are pretty into him, and they have 2 picks ahead of us. I wonder if we can use a future pick to try and move our pick up

Happy to have Marsh. Looks very good.
Wanted Sharp though.

Just wanting to confirm, our pick swap with GC netted us their 2026 essendon 3rd whereas port got the GC 3rd. Thats a win for us if so as that essendon 3rd could be upto 10 places better than the GC one next year

 

[Mutineer]

So pick 53 comes in to pick 46. How good is that!!!

Didn't we keep pick 48 in the end?

I read on the port board both us and them traded the 40's picks with GC?

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I have Ah Chee* replacing Tex next year which I think is a very very easy decision as it balances our forward line much better and looks more modern and mobile. Ah Chee a much more savvy 'third tall' who could pinch hit up the ground better too.

(*provided we get Ah Chee as expected)

Ah Chee is 182 cm, he is not a Tex replacement
