What are your thoughts on Polenta?

Haven’t a clue of the footballer but my lovely wife who I’ve been with for 20 years has cooked one meal in our whole time together that I thought was shit....put me off Polenta for a lifetime....

It’s an omen I tells ya!!

could slide

wait - there's deadset a player in the draft called polenta? is this fake news? bad, very bad - sad, bad fake news?

 

[Smegger]

Thought it was a kind of pasta. ..maybe.

Stoddart - Will develop into a very good player. His run & carry off the HBF in WA through the championships was very impressive. Has speed, good leap and not afraid to hunt the ball. Second half of the season was thrown around the ground somewhat, but handled it well. Has a nice left foot

Starcevich - Underestimated him at the start of the season, but impressed every time I saw him. Very strong over the ball and deceptively agile.

Ameduri - One from left field that isn't getting much attention, but think he will develop into a very good player. Very strong at the contest and relishes body contact. HF that I believe could play through the middle, would be a very good late pick up

Starcevich smashed the athletic testing at the WA state combine, and towards the end of the season it was clear he'd gone up a notch with his fitness.

From what I've seen Stoddart is probably the next best version of what Hunter Clark brings, then there's McGannon if you want to try your luck with a late selection, though apparently he tested really poorly in the 20 m sprint at the combine?

Good spotting with McGannon, has a very nice, accurate, long kick. Generally an outside player but will find more of the ball as he develops. Might last to a rookie pick and just sneaks into the draft, born 27th of December

From what little I've seen he's certainly not a 3.28s 20 m sprint on the footy field.

Would we be happy to draft Gryan Miers at 30 if we recruit 2 midfielders at our first 2 picks

 

[Kismet]

needs cheese to have any real flavour impact - even then I like to fry it in cubes - be careful though, it is very fragile in the pan - match with a wooded chardonnay and green salad (leave the vinegar out of the dressing)

Seriously?

Wooded chardonnay?

Inappropriate for this thread.

As good a forward as he can be, I think he lacks the pace to use #30 on him. We should be more focused on mids, and perhaps consider a small forward later on.

 

[Blue and Silver]

If this is Gryan I have had the same thought. But his endurance and disposal numbers give me hope he can be a quality mid-forward

Would rather take the risk on Sambono late, and deploy Fisher as a permanent forward to work with Pickett and Silvagni around the two talls.

Petrevski-Seton, Cripps, Lang, Thomas, Murphy, Cuningham, Kennedy and Simpson can rotate through the 6th spot, not to mention Wright, Mullett, LeBois and Polson sitting in the reserves.

Will be interesting to see where Sambono may end up. Has freakish talent but possibly a high flight risk.

IMO Fisher is a pure mid. All our mids have the ability to play through the forward line. LeBois & Wright are the only real small forwards

Old fashioned chardy making a comeback.

Injuries, quicker than that

That's good to hear because he looks alright as a footballer. With no pick between 30 and 73, it's just a case of what's left really. But i wouldn't mind giving a go to a 17yo with plenty of scope to improve.

Apparently a few Clubs like him late.

Guess my question on all of them is whether they find enough of the ball to make it at the next level.

Ameduri would be a very late pick

Stoddart is in contention at 30, ball magnet at junior level

Have others that are of interest at 30 that i think will slide, Spargo would be a great pick up

FWIW - Apparently Dogs draftees had 3 key criteria to fulfil to get picked:

High possessions (can read the play)

High contested possessions (can win their own ball)

High tackle numbers (will keep working when their team lost possession)

This is how they ended up with Caleb Daniel when no one else would give him a go.

Has there ever been a thread on this? Players who always get mentioned by commentators by their full names? Easton Wood and Digby Morrell spring to mind

Guarantee hunter Clark will be one

Nice as a mash substitute sometimes
