Player Watch #26 Zane Peucker

[THE_GUN]

We actually did not have a full time recruiter when those players were recruited nimrod.

Lol fools talking about picks made 20 years ago when we had 1 recruiter watching highlights in VCR and using that as an example compared to maybe 10 scouts all over the country going to games and having entire games on fileand date on all the kids for 3 years. Things van still go wrong but strike rates would be a hell of alot higher than JON days

 

[THE_GUN]

A professional, who used to work at this club pissed away a second round pick because he cousins calculate points and strategise properly.

Not to mention kept spuds like Barnett and 4 other fellow spuds on the list to then run out of list spots and couldnt match bids on their academy players like Evans & father son Banfield which went to other teams.
They are run by Benny hill and the bald midget

But apparently because he’s a professional he knows much more than anyone in the media or running a phantom knows.

until we start seeing some runs on the board, the jury is well and truly out on this recruiting team. Rhy himself was overlooked for the job not even 12 months earlier.

Didn't make me laugh at all at the time...

Geez any danger of a Zane Peucker post ffs

 

[4tune8]

We were obviously targeting a small forward this year, identified by our interest in Rosas Jnr, there was also a bit of noise around Leon Kickett. This bloke was rated better than Kickett and I have no qualms in taking him where we did. Could prove to be a real menace at the feet of our talls.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

One of the most underwhelming picks I can recall given what else was available

 

[TiggerDK]

The pick 30’s and 50’s in a “weak draft” is where recruiters earn their keep. See you in 2028 to see who was right. Just nominate a name available at these picks to make it fair.

 

[TiggerDK]

Another stupid post

Wing is the last position height would be an issue and Bailey Smith is 185cm and probably the best winger in the game

-------------
I 3 cm I

Is this much height really going to make that much difference FMD

Surely you’ve worked out how many more cms of growth Zane has to go?

Here he is. Neglord

 

[TiggerDK]

a quick search of bigfoot for "Peuker" suggest he was on on one's radar hear. He made his way onto a "Pick 56" Phantom on the Melbourne board & as a "consideration" for pick 57 on the Port board, but they felt he was likely available later.
So there is no Oracles here either. There is no Phantom Draft you can point to anywhere that suggest his number was going to be "31". Feel free to prove me wrong though & post anything that might suggest 31 was where he sat

Might get same result, but if you spell his name right you have a better chance of getting a hit.

Looking forward to 150+ games for the Pikelett now!

I reckon that if I had posted on here saying "I reckon Sam Grlj & Zane Peucker are who we should take with pick 4 & 31, you guys would have fallen off your chair. But when Hartley does it, ya'll immediately lean back and say "genius".

Just remember, a "professional" drafted Aaron Fiora & Jarryd Oakley Nicholls too

The difference is that you have no runs on the board

Not going to pretend to know about this kid but after watching some highlights of him I said to myself "we may have just found our Zac Bailey

Bit disappointed in myself as I always say comparison is the thief of joy but it's hard to ignore on this one.

 

[sregit]

Honestly I have seen enough of Mansell and Rioli for them to be traded to Tassie. Are definately not premiership 22 players long term, Seth is.

Agree

 

[LTT]

wonder if we had him ahead of dovaston

From what the recruiting team have said previously they seem to group several options for each pick. So, the question would be, did the selectors have him grouped with Dovaston and my guess is, probably yes. I am very impressed with his kicking in his highlight reel.

LOL these bigfooty experts won’t nominate a name. RJK is more likely to be earning a salary as Richmond’s list manager….

 

[prodigy]

I have absolutely no idea why but I have good feeling about this kid.

100% feel the same way , His speed , Age , and built like a tank has some appeal

I actually thought about you when i read the Thomas Burton train on news and thought prodigy would love this as its exactly the type you love as a rookie ( Im remembering your love for Jayden Short back in the day )

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Peucker was ranked 19th on my whiteboard

A professional also drafted

cotchin dusty rance riewoldt vlastuin broad grimes astbury Bolton rioli brando

and everyone else that helped us win 3 flags.

I don't actually recall loving Short. It definitely may have happened I just don't remember having any type of strong feeling toward him.

I don't actually recall loving Short. It definitely may have happened I just don't remember having any type of strong feeling toward him.

I seem to remember you wanting him in the rookie draft in a thread prior to it as the player you believed to be best available and had potential.

2 x premiership player 200 games
you did well

 

[Charlie Pannam]

I think your putting to much emphasis on the 2km tt, when he is an explosive burst player....

Does this sound like someone who is slow and laking endurance..

I like that last point “drive his legs out of tackles”
Looking at the images posted on our website, he’s going to be a tough man to stick a tackle. That speed/ core strength combo is a bit different to your prototype AFL recruit.
