^ if the third man up ruck rule is changed I wonder if it helps or harms English?..

 

[Wizard17]

How heavy was Ayce when he came to the club? I thought that he was only in the really low eighties or late seventies kg mark

I think with some size English can become a good ruck but he has shown jack as a forward

Ayce might have had a little less muscle tone than English, that's the thing with English
He is also 19(might be 20 now) unlike Nankervis who was taken around the same age he had some size on him to work with

 

[Smiley Boy]

I don't mind the look of english. If he can improve his marking i see him at a similar prospect to Rory Lobb

202 cm and 75 kg , i went to his first game at Williamstown and when
he ran down the race some women tried to hang their jackets and
coats on him it was not pretty viewing.

I'm in the camp you don't draft string bean ruckman with early picks fronk.
This bloke is a real string bean , but even more alarming is he dosn't seem to mark the ball much.
Bit of a worry when you are a foot taller than most on the park.
His highlights don't fill me with any great confidence.
Having said all that , I am an idiot so there is every chance English becomes a Bontempelli up grade

I know absolutely nothing about English sorry KH. Maybe you're right (you usually are you pesky old bastard). I'm just talking more generally about the theory of adding an elite level junior ruck prospect to the list. That makes sense to me given our current list profile.

If dalrymple thinks there's better prospects (ruck or otherwise) available at our pick, don't reach based on need. But if English is right in the mix and/or lineball with other prospects in dalrymple's eyes, I like the concept of drafting him.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

I want Berry or Gallucci.

 

[Dogsman16]

If we go for English are you going to get him some meat pies? I saw you say that about Cordy when we drafted him

Marshall/English have a frame that scares the bejeebus out of me, I think with midfielders you can be a bit more flexible but KPP/Rucks NEED some serious muscle/strength

Unless they change the rules of course..

I think the game is more suited to the skinny type big man than it did ten years ago. Zone defences in theory should allow for less body on body contact and give advantage to those who can run and jump and find separation from their opponent.

SPP, into CCox, into Long, into Kirby

 

[goodcop badcop]

It's kinda funny Kirby is almost 25cm shorter then English yet is a fair bit heavier. It would be an interesting theory taking three skinny guys and then a fat one with our last pick from Brett Anderson's mock draft.

Kirby's weight in BA's Phantom is a typo.

The pesky and bastard bit is ok Fronk , but the " old" reference is a bit rough
Did I ever tell you about my time fighting in the boer war ?

Less than 20 to go
:O

 

[Highlander]

Can somebody more knowledgeable than myself tell me what range they think Sam Draper will go, if at all? I think he could end up a superstar and I think a better option as a developing ruckman than English.

 

[goodcop badcop]

Are you sure? Unlike the AFL site Anderson actually has the updated height and weights listed from the combine. I'm guessing he has the state results as well

 

[Martyn_30_]

The first two picks should be Victorians it's too risky these days with the amount of players going home, a later pick is different because they're much less likely to make it.

I really hate the skinny rake players, three years not playing many or any games

'I wanna go home to get some games'

Ungrateful pricks

 

[JAMES_B_101]

Going English with our first would frighten my socks off

 

[murphy2bedabest]

I Have said this time and time again, forget about how Everitt, Grant, jones and Cordy ended up when talking about Marshall and English. we are light years ahead with our development and use of our VFL side. I really think if we drafted any of those players now we would have got much better results out of them.

we finally have the right balance with our Drafting team, our Coaches and our development program with our own VFL side.

 

[TommyD13]

has anyone else's draft machine not working. Mine says it has a server error

 

[Wizard17]

His weight is exactly 10kg off the AFL's so I'd say it is a typo and there is no way he is 96kg. He does need to slim down a bit but not that much!

 

[Highlander]

Yeah, same for me Tom.

 

[TommyD13]

Yeah, same for me Tom.

damn. i was just about to put in me top 10 haha

 

[josh the gent]

Cordy was low to mid 70kgs.

English is mid 80s.

Completely different.

BTW, the best ruck of our generation started as a skinny tall kid who could kick and pluck one, but was "soft as shit"!

Not saying English will get to Cox levels, just don't discount him too much!

Was the last player we drafted from our VFL side Brett Goodes, for
a team that has won two of the last three flags don't you find it
odd that we have not drafted a player from our VFL team ?
