I'll try and look at it positively. Petrie is possibly a mild upgrade on McInnes

Contract extension in the works for Eagles defender Tom Barrass. Should be signed by round one. West Coast know they've got a good one

Heard this morning from a Mate with Carlton connections similar and that its will be done shortly.

Needless to say I was not impressed one iota with that shit news.

I was just about to rant when he reminded me not to shoot the messenger.

Say anything else of interest?

Well, he did have a very interrupted preseason. I'll maintain that he's definitely under the pump, but I still reckon the odds are better that he'll retain his spot. The team as a whole seemed to regress on the toughness and tackling from 2015.

Underrated is tackling, controlled aggression at the man and ball and also the team morale on field acts such as high fives, encouragement and picking your mate up off the ground etc.

All that stuff bonds a group

Tis the club ethos

One of the following:

Dylan Clarke, Brendon Parfit, Josh Rotham, Brad Sheer, William Drew, Jack Graham or Zac Fisher. Based on the academy picks, our pick 34 is likely to be between 36 and 38. If we take Berry, I would pass on Rotham. I like Clarke and Fisher (probably because I have seen more of them) - I would be very happy with an inside mid like Jack Graham.

Liam Ryan ? is he worth pick 34

Time for a change

You listened to the draft pod caste then?

 

[Obeanie1]

The kid can play, his height and weight are irrelevant. Gov is a jelly donut who is an AA monster.

All first rounders can play.

Can all of then install fear into the opposition?

None of the mocks have him going anywhere near that high

Now while this is very true i'm a firm believer that a lot of clubs recruiters are altogether too smart for their own good (Well at least they think they are)
If you identify someone who can fill a role within your best 22 both straight away and 5 years down the track they are absolutely worth a second round pick. Our second round pick will end up likely being around pick 36 and could be as late as pick 40. Now up until 2010 that would have been an early to mid third rounder. Third rounders have a 25% chance or less of playing 100 games for an afl club. If you evaluate all that evidence together then i would be happy to do a hawthorn, identify the best player that fills the role you need and take him, even if it means you go a little early.

(now thats no guarantee he is the best player for that role either but it's just an example)

I don't see it, much of a muchness at this point.

I agree,I wasn't saying he wasn't worth it,on talent alone he is but talent isn't the only factor.
I think clubs will see him as a huge flight risk also he has only been in the wafl a year so may struggle to adapt to a professional environment.
I hope we get him,we won't need to use our second tho.
Hopefully he isn't the next zyrus Waylon manson

Petrie?

Don't really get that comparison at all, Weedon didn't make it due to lack of talent/production and Ryan has already proven himself at that level.

Except weedon never performed even remotely well at WAFL level. The negatives in regards to Ryan are his best performances have all come in a dominant side and he appears to have a very low aerobic base. Whether it's ryan, lebois, kirby or rioli we need a genuine crumber who can play the role and succeed at AFL level. As far as im concerned i would rather take the best of them with our second rounder than miss out and have to take second choice at pick 3 or later. If we take Berry or a similar slider at our first then i would absolutely prioritise the best crumber with our second unless SPP or Bolton are there.

 

[SpaceClef]

Hope we pick a crumber but history suggests we won't

Hasn't Simmo said this year we will target a small, crumbing forward? It wasn't Ballas through the trade period so there's not many other options.

 

[Suma Magic]

Wouldn't be surprised if we picked Jy Simpkin at pick 12. Seemed to be fairly highly rated before breaking his leg.

Isn't that Petrie's role?

It's really love to scrub that name from this board permanently.
