[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2029
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 3, Dave

 

[carnthedons]

Can play the boy. I’m excited

 

[Darealrath]

Class.

Was it Ablett he sidestepped in the 1st quarter when he was the last defender? That was ridiculous for a first gamer.

 

[Jacques_]

Even though he made a couple of errors by foot tonight, his kicking technique is absolutely text book. Very exciting debut!

 

[Howard Moon]

His first touch in afl I reckon was a gather and sidestep... Poise

 

[Colonelmot]

Looked like he belonged at senior level. Very impressive debut.

 

[Kakkle]

His first touch in afl I reckon was a gather and sidestep... Poise

It was a lace out pass to a Geelong player

 

[TheGrizz]

Looks the goods. Pick 19 a bargain.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Small sample size but composure great and doesn't panic. Looks to be a good reader of the play.

Must play every game.

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Hooley dooley - We got one here.

Me likey

Reminds me of wellman

 

[Runk]

Wow. Just wow.

 

[DERO]

Reminds me of wellman

Me too.

 

[onthemove77]

Me too.

Poise, class, ability to read the play.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

What a sick campaigner.

 

[Stopher]

Giggity

 

[brutus76]

To quote Bert Newton "I like the boy"

Composed, measured, reads the play. instinct, has a dip, skills both sides.

Very much a Wellman type.

 

[citizen-erased]

back to back rising star awards inbound!

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Pretty impressive on both sides, clean with poise. Don’t want to put too much on the kid but just a few glimpses of a young Neale Daniher.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Looked like he belongs at this level from his first touch.

 

[Old Stuckup]

Our 2016 draft crop is looking pretty good so far.

 

[DERO]

Our 2016 draft crop is looking pretty good so far.

Very good early signs. I guess this means that maybe we should not sack Dodoro.

 

[blitzer]

Our 2016 draft crop is looking pretty good so far.

I was just thinking that.
National Draft: Andrew McGrath (1), Jordan Ridley (22), Josh Begley (31), Kobe Mutch (42), Dylan Clarke (63)
Rookie Draft: Sam Draper (South Adelaide)

McGrath 250 gamer and I reckon you'd back most of the others to play 100+ at this early stage including Draper who probably won't debut for a little while yet but is shaping up as a good ruck option.

If we end up with 6 best 22 players from a single draft then that is a simply fantastic effort. Hell even if 2 players don't quite make it even 4 is a very good draft.

Some of them have the potential to be very good players too. Ridley could be anything.

 

[Lloydy39]

Anyone able to put the Ablett sidestep into a GIF?

 

[Towno78]

Gleeson, Ridley, Saad and McKenna in the backline is going to be amazing.
