    Mid Season Draft

    NHH is much more skilful and has a vastly greater footy iq compared to Allen. He also offers much better positional scope to play half back, forward and potential part of the midfield rotation. I’m not suggesting simply midfield as you seem to be. I also don’t imagine he’d come straight in, but...

    Mid Season Draft

    Most? Who’s most? I’ve never seen or heard it mentioned by anyone before. IMO his build is fine for an 18 year old. 18 disposals a game in your first year of state league footy as a 18 year old is fantastic.

    Durability, physicality and consistency. I think he is showing durability and physicality by playing in the WAFL. In terms of consistency his elite traits were always there but it seemed he either put in an incredible performance or a poor one. Personally I think it was an attitude thing and...

    Mid Season Draft

    Wouldn’t be the first time I’m wrong. I tend to latch onto prospects. But also wouldn’t be the first time recruiters get it wrong. Based on the little I’ve seen this year, and his numbers, I think he has enough to show everyone his talent playing against men. Also showing his durability...

    Mid Season Draft

    You are welcome to your opinion, but not sure anyone who watched NHH as a junior would call him vanilla. His ceiling and traits are elite. Nor do I understand the comparison earlier to Stephenson. IMO their builds are not alike, nor is NHH afraid of body contact. I honestly think if we picked...

    Mid Season Draft

    He was one of the youngest of last years draft class and isn’t even 19 until mid November. 18 disposals as a half back in the WAFL Seniors at 18 years is a fair effort. Obviously showing a lot more physicality at the level and working through his consistency issues. Here are a couple of his...

    Mid Season Draft

    Yeah. As Jen said below. Given our demographics he could be an absolute bargain IMO and the same as early access to a national draftee. He has immense talent and seems to be putting in the work to show he is ready to be picked up. Although there is a fairly decent chance he will be gone before...

    Mid Season Draft

    NHH has too much talent not to be on a list. Averaging about 18 possessions per game at Senior WAFL level isn’t a bad job for an 18 year old. Particularly playing across half back. He’d be my number one target if still there at our pick.

    Either of those early on. But ultimately he’s a midfielder

    Player Watch Sam Swadling

    Don’t think he’s ever been described as an inside extractor. As a midfielder at under 18’s he was the epitome of a balanced mid. Similar to Nick. He can go inside and win the clearance when needed, but you’d much rather get the ball into his hands on the outside of the stoppage or in open link...

    Mid Season Draft

    Surprised Kobe Ryan isn’t on the list. I still think he deserves his shot on an AFL list. His numbers continue to be impressive and he is still only 22 years old. Will be interesting how McGuane goes in next weeks game for the Bulldogs before the draft. Didn’t watch it yesterday but he picked...

    Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion: Round 11 vs. WCE, Sat 23/05 at 4:35pm (MCG)

    Don’t mind it. Agree about Hayes too. Very stiff to get dropped. I’d drop Steele over him. I’d also keep Allan in over Lipinski now. Give Allan a consistent run through the middle. Out: Long, Parker, R Steele, Steene In: Pendles, Moore, Swadling, Cameron Buller would have also been one of the...

    Autopsy Round 10 = Sydney 81-75 Collingwood

    Personally I just can’t stand commentators with an obvious bias against a specific club. Honestly you can just tell Huddo hates Collingwood by his tone and tenor. The gusto in which he actively barracks against us is unbelievable.

    Hahaha. What a response 😂 I’d love to be out there too. You always love to be a contrarian and apologist.
