If your going to counter my argument, which are factual ......then gather your own facts, don't throw out unsubstantiated generalizations as facts .....its frankly infuriating and insulting
Calm down. The players are trialed in many positions. To say they are this or that is ones own generalisation.

Doedee a mid?

As much as it will be annoying to have WW crowing about a win, my goodness I hope it happens.

I will feel much more comfortable about spending that first on him than if he ends up just battling Cheney for a spot
Peter, the only point i'm trying to make is .....that whatever position players played as a junior, it's not locked in that's where they'll play at AFL level, or what the recruiters had in mind when drafting them ......would have thought that an easy premise for people to grasp ....obviously not

How about you supporting your question with an answer ....rather than throw it out there without a shread of evidence to support

I watched there U18 games ......what did you do?

The argument was player "x" was drafted as a defender ......therefore that player played his U18 year and importantly the championships as a defender

You attempted to refute that by throwing out a smokescreen ......so did you watch the U18 games that year to be in a position to pass any comment ?

I didn't ask a question. I said there was more than 3 U18 champ games that the players play. They play many more games and play different roles.
I have watched the U18 champs the past two years.
Why are you being so aggressive?

Actually someone posted a bunch of articles stating he was drafted as a defender.

You accused them of not reading past the headlines and not taking into account the context of the articles.

That was your argument.

It's your prerogative to believe what you want but it is an account with no name to back up what their saying with a whopping 68 followers. And it was created 3 days ago.

Waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy too much respect being given to these types of twitter accounts. The only info I'd be putting weight into journos/newspapers willing to put their credibility on the line.

I reckon I'll start one soon and see how many people I can get to follow me.

Yeah I get it.

Look I've seen him live and athletically/physically, well, he's perfection ( no homo). Top 10 in combine for agility. He plays a nice game back there.

His junior coach says he's the best 1/1 defender in the draft but thought he'd go 30-40.

There's nothing there that screams mid but I'm hopeful

Refer my signature .......it's so difficult to find posters to have a proper discussion with, without the .......

BTW if you have watched the U18 championships, you'll know there are 6 rounds, not 3 rounds .....going back 3 years
