Sounds like Dow is last years Taranto/McGrath.. bolter to the top
Yup. Who's gonna be the Will Brodie slider? I would love me some LDU but unfortunately ain't gonna happen.

Cerra?
Can't like this post. Wanted to at least get one of the Kelly gang.
We could always get one of the Troopers, though that sounds a little too much like StrooperCan't like this post. Wanted to at least get one of the Kelly gang.
Yeah it sounds like he's got excellent leadership characteristics and also brings speed, good composure and kicking, so he ticks a number of boxes for us, plus he's a terrific height and is versatile.I haven't followed many of the draftees at all this year and know nothing, but I can definitely expand on Coffield. First of all great kid, and like I said the other day the saints have put the most work into him it of any club. Looks likely if we keep pick 7 and 8, and having seen him play local footy in his last year before TAC cup, I'm intrigued. He played the year above, and although he didn't dominate (didn't even win bnf), he was among the best few players and everyone knew he was gonna be something special.
I wouldn't cry myself to sleep if we spent one of those picks on him.
Predominantly played half back due to being a smaller body weight wise at the time and the midfield was already set with the age group above. If he hadve played midfield perhaps we would've won bnfYeah it sounds like he's got excellent leadership characteristics and also brings speed, good composure and kicking, so he ticks a number of boxes for us, plus he's a terrific height and is versatile.
What position or positions was he mostly playing prior to playing TAC Cup?
That said, there is good depth of tall defensive talent this year, so prolly better to trade in a 2nd rounder from somewhere and use one of them for one, or trade 7 and 8 for say 2 and 19/22 and use one of them for one.Neither. Attacking CHB that racked up 23 touches & 11 marks in the wafl seniors. Sounds like a cheaper version of Jake Lever.
Nice. Does his speed really show through in games?Also this is the same club that's produced Bont, Zaharakis, Caddy, Vlastuin and more recently Lipinski to bulldogs. Coffield showed more at the club than every one of them
I certainly wouldn't be opposed to having a top 2 pick and then two more in the top 8!Half draft, half trade suggestion. Trade 2018 first, later pick & a player Armo/Lonie for GC's pick 2? We'd have to offer something lucrative. But if we pulled it off:
Pick 2 - LDU
Pick 7 - Coffield
Pick 8 - Naughton
?
There's an article on the afl site about Naughton. Originally from Victoria & quoted as saying he'd love to play for the Pies (supports them) alongside Ben Reid (looks up to him). Given the Pies need for talls & putting 2 & 2 together I reckon he's a decent chance to either go to the Pies or Freo are forced into taking him a pick before. That would certainly help mids slide to 7/8.
You'd think we'd have to include pick 8 and next year's first maybe second if we send armo/lonieHalf draft, half trade suggestion. Trade 2018 first, later pick & a player Armo/Lonie for GC's pick 2? We'd have to offer something lucrative. But if we pulled it off:

Na I never really noticed his quick speed except at training. At training he was clearly quick but in game he didn't use his line breaking speed as much I thought he could've, he'd usually opt to kick or use lateral movement. I assume during his time at the Knights that he gained more confidence in itNice. Does his speed really show through in games?
He tests extremely well for speed apparently, but you don't see many highlights of him say zooming down the ground past everyone.
Don't think Gresham was ever that strong as a leader, just the mobs best player by a mile.Also my mate who played under both Coffield and Gresh as captains at Knights said that Coff had him covered in captaincy by a country mile and skill by a little bit
To be fair I'll be more specific, the exact question I asked him was who would you prefer on your team, and he said Coffield just. I agree gresh has ridiculous natural skill.Don't think Gresham was ever that strong as a leader, just the mobs best player by a mile.
Coffield must be something if he has more skill than Gresham. Gresh is ridiculous.
