Stand second to the left in the back row if you're a Don.

Dyson Sharp (and associates) sounds like a hedge fund management firm that would maximise the **** out of your investments

 

[Byrons Firen]

Pardon the intrusion but sooo glad you resisted Adelaide's overtures

 

[eth-dog]

Love this so much. Is that why we went Farrow over Taylor?

 

[Goat Hird]

Stick him in the leadership team now

welcome Dyson

Yeah nah he looks like a cruisey knacker

 

[MiguelM]

the fact he is absolutely ready for seniors is such a bonus.

 

[ghostdog]

We must have had inside mail that Melbourne weren't taking Sharp, otherwise that was a massive gamble!

I wondered whether Kosi being there might have been enough to suggest they'd take LSP.

How he could have known they were more interested in Taylor than Sharp though...

Hi just dropped in to say I really really rated this kid he is just a steak and potatoes kinda player does all the right things well without looking flashy , can see him being a one club player and am jealous he is not at my beloved tigers, will be watching all your games next year

 

[Vindicater]

****ing yes.

 

[JayJ20]

Future captain! I was worried about the leadership potential on our list but not anymore.

Your Robey one was better

 

[VelvetSledge]

Completely shocked he dropped to us. Was the one I wanted all season, crazy that he's going to be a dons player.

Rosa absolutely cooked last night.

“Yeah we actually rated Dyson as a top ten talent”

I do feel for Dodoro. He loved preening around on draft night.

I’m not even sure if his lawsuit against the club was successful. Poor guy.

Cal mentioned that Melbourne had interviewed Taylor a few times and he was 100% sure they would take him when we didn’t. Obviously there where question marks about him getting that far.

 

[daffo]

Awesome pick up.
I really wanted Sharp at the Farrow pick. Was worried that Dees would take him.

Getting Robey and Sharp out of this draft is awesome. I'd still be happy if we got them with the Tigers picks.

 

[ant555]

Think he will be a good pick up. Will never be a flashy star but he is just a reliable player with very strong leadership and footy IQ. Finds the football and does the team stuff.

I’d guess clubs ask kids they’re interviewing how many other clubs they’ve spoken to and have a fair idea which kids everyone else is really into

thanks for the feedback, i’ll be sure to incorporate it in my end of year performance review with the mods

Like what I’m seeing - he passes the YouTube test.

He’s a genuine inside midfielder with some outside burst.

Naturally strong bodied, doesn’t need to change his frame to play AFL. Has toughness in the contest to go with it.

Nice height.

Super clean hands - most impressive part of his game from what I’ve seen. Looks elite. Kicking looks fine, perhaps not special.

Plays with passion! Looks like he goes 100% all the time, a strong competitor.

Looks like he plays round 1 to my eyes.

 

[brownezaka]

He is a student of the game with a never die attitude that will do anything he can to be the best version of himself. Talent will only get players so far but this mindset with the talent combined the sky will be the limit. Don’t sell this guy short, I still believe he could be a top tier mid of the game.

He'll absolutely do what the team requires, especially while establishing himself. His 2024 finals series for the Centrals league team as a 17yo was evidence of this where he averaged 9 tackles and chased, blocked, smothered, harassed all game every game while still averaging 17 disposals.

Love this.
