haha yep, more surface area to extract high frees.

For some reason when I think of 'no neck', I always think of Phil Waugh.

It'd be a challenge to get this guy around the neck

Gladstone Small

 

[Peter Doherty]

What was the joke when Bob Woolmer was murdered?

Pakistan announced Gladstone Small as their new coach, 'try choking this one'.

 

[jackster83]

thats a lot of neck for such an in and under player

Well he probably shouldn't be used as an in and under player.

Got shown up horribly against the good sides.

 

[skittlebrew]

was a dumb joke sorry - there was some debate on this forum a year or two ago about the fact that a player could be short with higher shoulders or tall with a long neck. it has stayed with me as i found it exceptionally amusing.

Was it really a joke? I was buying into that theory...

Hey, don't knock the real shoulder height vs misleading neck height theory

 

[Danger Zone]

Hey, don't knock the real shoulder height vs misleading neck height theory

We need the combine to start measuring "effective height" - shoulder height + arm length

According to Cal's latest mail - looks like it's down to 3 for us

We seem to love Dovaston, but unlikely he will slide

At our pick, Cal seems to think it's between Marsh and Ludowyke, with us leaning towards Marsh for the SA/home factor

RE Ludowyke - interesting that his junior coaches think he has the ability to be a swingman and play KPD as well as forward

IF he gets within 3 or 4 picks of where we are we will have a crack at trading up

eg.

16 + F2 for 13 + F3

 

[Slim258]

It's probably playstation trade territory but I would still be attempting to move our F1 into this draft to get another top end talent, especially given the number of SA lads that are there.

We can now trade 2 years in advance, so nothing saying we wouldn't be able to move back in to the 2026 draft using 2028 and 2029 picks.

I genuinely thought shoulder tall ment no footy IQ as in doesn't have the brain for it

What comes after that?

Inside leg measurement?

 

[Coopers]

I also recall there is a certain Mod with the “long neck theory” so Big Footy

edit : here is our boy with a few useless inches apparently.

Well yeah.

You don't catch the ball with your head.

I’d be doing Pick 16 + F1 for Melbournes 8 or whatever + F2.

Would give us two seconds next year to trade back in.

I don’t think 2027 or 2028 picks get us anything because of TAS.

 

[Betts are off]

If we do select The Bison, (and id be for it at 16), I would anticipate he would need a solid year of physical development in the weights room before getting considerable gametime.

However I think his mid tall size and playing style could actually be a perfect compliment to our forward line. Already looks like a player that is crafty in finding small holes in a crowded forward line.

With Pick 16, Adelaide Football Club selects... FFFFAAFFFENEFENOIBY!

 

[CROUCH #2]

Blake Thredgold - feels Sydney or Geelong
Harley Barker - feels North Melbourne

 

[JPetro83]

[Trigger13]

We’ve traded 48 away haven’t we

 

[JPetro83]

Still down as our pick on the AFL site

 

[ET Sloane Home]

Still down as our pick on the AFL site

Yeah won’t be made official until the draft. There was a trading embargo for the last week or so. But doesn’t mean deals haven’t been agreed upon

 

[jackster83]

Still down as our pick on the AFL site

Our pick in the 50's will end up around that anyway after academy bids. Assuming we don't trade that away too.
