We learnt that Ryan is going to improve due to an increase in responsibility plus natural growth and confidence that comes from being an automatic selection in the b22. He will finish top 10 in the best and fairest. Astounding that his supposed 'weakness' was that he wasn't laying enough...

Firstly I doubt this team will ever get on the park and i understand...
This is his colts stats from the last two years. Seems he has games where he stands out in one/two areas but hasn't really put all together in one performance. Remember these are his underage stats, next season is the main season that counts.

This guy needs to lose some weight i think. He will struggle for fitness being 87kg at that height. For comparison Neale is 80kg and Zorko is 76, both players are able to tackle big midfielders and win contested ball. Also if he starts off his career at a small forward type position then losing...
It's just that I couldn't stand the sight of having a Priddis in our squad. If he has a Barlow like disposal that's about the minimum skill level I could bear to have in our team.
All i'm gonna say is that if you had the choice between Pendles and Kennedy you take Pendles 9 times out of ten. If we didn't have Fyfe or Blakely however a Kennedy type would be much more appealing but with the grunt work those two and Neale provide some genuine class couldn't go astray in our...
So with the Cerra news. Carlton board are about 60/40 wanting Dow/LDU. North board are 100% wanting LDU and have basically forgotten Cerra even exists. Just interesting to see their thoughts on the players.
i'm starting to think Brayshaw at 2 and Cerra at 5. I feel like these two would push each other to get the best out of themselves, I honestly can't see either being busts. Which could land us an egirls 2006 type premiership where we win because of our midfield strength(minus the dickheads...

Surely they are related. If he was bald i don't think i would be able to tell the difference. The goal at 1:14 is the most gary ablett thing i've ever seen.
Everyone should start mentally preparing for pick 2 to be Dow and pick 5 to be Cerra. Watch Carlton fans think they've won the draft and both our guys turn into absolute guns.
yeah for me personally , the whole beep test scenario in regards to Rayner doesn't say to me anything about attitude or poor training, it tells me he just isn't naturally fit. That doesn't mean he can't get to the required level at some point. It sucks because had that test been like a 13 or 14...
I want any combination of a hybrid fwd/mid (except for Stephenson) and a pure mid. Any combo of Rayner/Fogarty and LDU/Dow/Cerra/Brayshaw will keep me happy and i would back the club to make the correct call.
You seemed to be saying the Cerra was several levels below McCluggage (in your opinion) and even McCluggage didn't have a good first year and he actually has x-factor. Well what i was trying to say was that McCluggage had plenty of known weaknesses that he never addressed in his draft year...
The only reason i posted the stats was to show how incompetent your thoughts are in regards to Cerra and his 'inside' midfield ability (you compared him to McCluggage). As an underage player his team played him on the wing as an outside mid, however he got injured in 2016 so in anticipation of...
These are Cerra's TAC cup averages
Compared to LDU
And Paddy Dow
Cerra clearly has the best. Also you compare him to McCluggage but it was clear that Contested footy and clearances were a weakness of his as he averaged low in both of those stats throughout the year. Whereas Cerra is...
i think this is a big possibility of what we go with. Both are teammates and mentored by Matthew Lloyd. Wouldn't mind it to be honest as i like Angus and Andrew is similar except faster, more agile and with better skills.
considering Ryan was pick 66, Cox was 41, Darcy was 38, Blakely was 34 and Neale was 58. Don't rule out our pick 42, 60 and 66 being very good players and helping out with the depth situation and we could even jag another Luke Ryan type who seems in perfectly to our best 22.
i never said don't pick him because of fitness, all i was meaning was that it will stop from playing 22 AFL games in the midfield next season, whereas LDU will play 22 games in the mid and will make a material difference to our side. Plus getting Fogarty who is similar to Rayner except less...
LDU can make a proper instant impact on ANY teams midfield not just being put in the mids to gain experience, but actually in there because he is a machine. He will win the rising star for which ever team he goes to. Big strong, contested ball winner with good skills (i didn't say elite just...
Why don't the AFL let the team that doesn't get the round 1 match the extra 'away' fixture. Both are probably just as valuable as each other so it would keep everyone happy.
Weller left for money. Balic for off field issues. Crozier for opportunity. People who think players want to leave when they come to us are deluded. Name the last established player that left for home with no decent excuse.
