I'm not convinced he can kick with any dependability.
Agree with Taylor, not in the same postcode as Mundy kicking. Brad Hill class would be the upper limit.

I’d pay our 1st round 2020 for Kelly.
No more, no less.
Out of contract, he told Geelong he wants home. If he doesn’t sign over the bye round. Swap 1st round pick.
If he’s doesn’t sign in the bye before finals when they’re minor premiers looking at a flag, then they will lose serious leverage.
Strikes me a bit like the Hamling and Headland trades after premierships. Cats might be more open after a flag Win.
Still think there’s a Des Headland monument in regards to Tim Kelly
We are building a statue for Des ?
Probably should get T Kelly in then if he's a statue worthy player
A decent article but also a bit simplistic. It only really looks at successes and not the also-rans which is not great for analyses. Franklin, Coniglio and co were never realistically available to WA clubs, but yes there have definitely been some over-looked.

The idea that you draft Naughton when the club has massive needs in the midfield an example. Also, Hamling sitting on our list for 3-4 years developing slowly would be a waste, and quite happy for other clubs to get him up to AFL standard.
For the future the club has some changes that may result in the WA assessments being stronger, notably the Victoria based Loyd leaving. Perhaps the NGA may give us better intel about other talent developing within the state than we have had?
My main frustration is when there are local boys who fill a need and are value for a particular pick, but are passed in favour of a different option. There are good WA players who fit well for our needs and seem like good value for the first pick next year. Doing the obvious is not a bad thing.[/QUOTE yes you are right articles does n't consider some aspects....as you said recruiters should not be influenced by the hype of eastern media about victorian players as well
.
I read the first 10 words or so. Is that seriously a hindsight hero article?
Well Mexicans do love their TACo’s
Anyone else think the professional environment of the TAC cup could be a negative in the long term
So these young fellas step pretty much into a AFL club simulation , the training , the diet , the game tactics etc
After a couple of years of this these guys are pretty close to AFL ready and all look the goods in their draft year , the recruiters look at them and at the young WAFL or SANFL players and even to their experienced eye they just look superior so obviously draft accordingly
BUT after a few years and the development imbalance has been rectified it turns out quite a few of those TACo’s were not all they were cracked up to be
Just a thought

Yes it's a bit hindsighty but I couldn't agree more Mr Duffield and just so as not to 'bandwagon' on the back of his story that's from a few years back
We took Mundy before Matthew Moody and Chad Jones
Just another 2 goals a year and we would be pushing for top 4,. Maybe that comes from within SHill, Bennell, or the draft, trade.This year the back yard is looking good, hidden and not so hidden gems, Robertson, Rivers would be good if they slide a bit. Looked good in the WA v VicM game.
Henry looked good as well, but wasn’t as excited by Sharp as others.

I would be quite happy to see all our picks going for WA boys this draft. I know there is some on here chatting Henry up as a top 10 pick, but I am still hoping he slides past our second.This year the back yard is looking good, hidden and not so hidden gems, Robertson, Rivers would be good if they slide a bit. Looked good in the WA v VicM game.

what a s**t article.
What I don’t get that footy journos have little about footy, draft or trading.And there’s no mention of Freo picking up Lachie Neale in the 50s...
