2015 Draft Discussion

[RUNVS]

With Keays, Rolls, Wagner, Weller, William, Allison, Buzza, Chol and Hipwood all showing something I hope Eddie isn't watching.

He is doing the Carlton v Port Adelaide game

 

[Lionmoe21]

He's a year younger, plenty of time to fill out.

Do you know his exact weight and height, looks a good height for a mid

Wouldn't have a clue, mate. Quigley might. Agree he's a nice size and I thought he showed a lot today.

 

[Quigley]

Do you see him ending up as a forward or a defender?

Definitely a defender. I was pretty meh with him as a forward earlier in the year. I don't think he has the hands to make it as a forward. I like him a lot as a defender though.

Looking at him next to a few of the others playing the game it would not surprise me if he is even a bit taller than that. He is Bontempelli size.

Very good, if he can add 15 kgs, he looks like he has the speed and smarts as a mid. Very excited

Definitely plays like a midfielder.

What do you think of Chol?

Brisbane Lions academy player Ben Keays had 37 disposals, 11 clearances, 10 inside-50s & kicked a goal as Queensland beat NT by 72 pts today

 

[Quigley]

Definitely plays like a midfielder.

What do you think of Chol?

I was underwhelmed. I do not think he is a ruck and I would like to see more of him at KP. The thing he has going for him is how well Aliir has developed and Chol has probably shown more at this stage than Aliir has. He is one who might be a big overaged option next year.

Dennis I was disappointed in as well. Buzza easily the best ruck option we had. Every time he contested a ruck contest he won it easily.

 

[BrizzyBandit]

How tall is buzza?

 

[blueiris]

How tall is buzza?

200cm

 

[pulpdriver]

How tall is buzza?

Pretty sure he's 198cm.

edit: Or not.

 

[Quigley]

198 according to the afl website but I think he might be a fraction under that

 

[BrizzyBandit]

200 is a good size. Do you think the club is going to give Archie more time?

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Looks taller than that.

 

[Quigley]

Just quietly I also really liked how Rolls went today. He was one of the few out there who showed consistent class with his kicking. It was like that flat little 30 metre worm burners we used to get from Black all those years. He is a bottom ager and so he will have another year but I liked the quality that he showed.

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Can anyone rank the top 5 from this game?

 

[JasRulz63]

How tall is buzza?

Next to Nicholls who's listed at 201cm.

geeze, cool your jets Keays, we can't have Eddie thinking we have any talent up there.

 

[Cockliff38]

Just saw someone on the draft board has gone early and ranked Allison for the number 1 pick in 2016 :|

While it's exciting to see the academy talent doing well we all probably need some perspective for it was a poor NT team.

 

[WA Lion]

Keays excellent, only knock is he could flatten out his kicks a bit. William looked good, Buzza was too big and strong
Jeez there's a call for you! He was good but not that good! NT were definitely poor as you say, but I was reasonably impressed with the standard of QLD.[/QUOTE]

So, maybe we are playing ourselves back in to Schache's draft range!
