2017 trade/draft thread

Take those with a grain of salt . I don't think they are correct . Barrass Mcgovern hurn butler all faster than shuey ?
I don't think so .
Barrass also doesn't feature in the sprints or repeat sprints

Shuey has Burst speed and really good acceleration but not that unreasonable to suggest those guys have faster top speeds they Shue, its like a Jap turbo Vs V8 muscle.

Ballantyne signs with the dockers for another year, thank god we cant even be tempted this season

Will be a big addition for Peel Thunder next season

To expand on this Glass and a few others used to beat Judd at sprints back in the day. Judd beat them for acceleration but the other guys had a better top speed.

Eh, can't see him getting many games tbh. Personally don't think he'll ever make it

I thought the same at the start of the year but reckon he's coming along nicely now. That Bulldogs game was impressive, he just needs a bit of consistency.

Karpany needs to get a bit stronger for AFL footy and importantly not lose any pace while doing so. He showed some promising signs this year - not a panic merchant!

^ Thanks Avishka

Karpany just needs to find the ****ing ball

 

[avishka5]

I think they give a good indication. Don't know why the clubs would be gathering and using all the data if it wasn't correct.
Shuey is probably faster than those guys with the ball in hand and first 10m, but running without the ball I'm not surprised that they're faster.
Barrass v Jeremy Cameron last season in the Nic Nat game, Barrass had Cameron covered for pace.

TB's biggest issue is endurance. He looks cooked at times and essentially looks slow. Just needs to get fitter.

This

Has a nice set of guns but really laboured when doing preseason running. Simpson made a comment about it at one stage saying it's good (the guns) as long as they're not just for show. With hindsight I think it's fair to say simmo wasn't overly impressed that TB prioritised bulk over endurance and that may have been why he was out of favour early in the season

Needs to improve his core strength and lose the excess muscle mass. He's in for a lot of running this off season

Agree with this and more specifically.

TB IMO got to big to quickly and he in fact needs to trim down a bit to get the best out of himself.


PS : I just read Keys post and concur.

From this day forth I shall call my car Boots.
My boots has had a massive Dank treatment though so I hope ASADA don't look over him.

 

[squashface]

Interesting that I remember Barrass saying on the Backchat podcast that he actually lost weight over the offseason/preseason.

Agree. He is top heavy and the modern kpd doesn't need too much upper body mass. Every Backman seems to have a very athletic build these days. Barrass just needs to focus on core strength and building strength in his legs.

He had a very slight frame when drafted and mentally he probably felt that he needed to added weight quickly in order to have an impact at the next level. If he wants to keep the guns then he should aim to have a Rance type physique.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Barrass increase in mass this last offseason will serve him well for the future. He can obviously put mass on, now it is all about lean mass and strength. Then get the Tarrant pipes.

 

[avishka5]

Interesting who would be our best in the gym. NN probably the strongest but i wouldn't be surprised if jk is second.

This.......so much this. Karpanay is WAFL player at best

 

[frenchconnection]

Exactly

He played like it at the weekend unfortunately - he's cooked! Should we replace him with another player v GWS or stay with the status quo?
