Complete load of sh*t as usual, apparently a 'weak / shallow draft' and 8 clubs get A or A+

He does favour value according to his ratings, it's why Carlton got so high as they took Carroll (think he had him in the teens)
 
To be honest I would swap Parker's and Heeney's roles. I would move Heeney to become a full time inside mid, and I would move Parker to becoming a forward who goes into the midfield reasonably often. I think that would suit them both better.
That's an interesting idea. Parker would certainly acquit himself capably as a permanent in the forward line. Does Heeney have the engine to be an on baller? Maybe as a shock troop in the way that Swan was used at Collingwood? Asked to go hard in short bursts, rather than conserving energy to run all day?
 
Seems strange that the only people who seem to be saying we should have taken DGB over McDonald are those here on Big Footy. Every media EXPERT (who should know a lot more than we do) have stated that "we got a steal in McDonald. Don't know how he fell through to 4." All the ones that I have read anyway.
For all those who are hanging their opinion on the one game they played against each other this year where DBG had the better of him - just think of this:
For those who remember the game in the 90s there was a great defender in Glenn Jackovich. At the same time there was a great CHF in Wayne Carey. Back in these days they played one on one - no rubbish team defence we have to put up with today.
Quite regularly, Jackovich had the better of Carey yet if you were a recruiter and had the choice of the two, who would you take?
Taking McDonald instead of DGB was a no brainer. Key forwards are the most difficult of all players to find.
Granted, he will take a few years before we see the best of him as he needs to gain body strength, but so be it.
Carey was a bully...but Jackovitch could not be bullied by Carey. I think the intimidation factor reversed each time they played on one another. Carey was always more fearful of Jackovitch.
And you are quite right. CHB's don't win you games...they save them and keep you in it. Dominating CHF's win games...but they are rare, and like Carey...he only needed one quarter when he switched on and he could win the game in that quarter. That's why drafting McDonald is higher risk with higher reward than DGB and the best call we could make.
 
Paddy McCartin is working through what his next step in football will be after Sydney made the tough call to overlook him in the rookie draft
...
Sources close to McCartin said the 24-year-old was working through his options but he was unlikely to train on with Sydney in the hope of being chosen in the supplementary selection period and it is unclear whether he will be invited to train at another AFL club.
...
The Swans, who have a rookie spot unfilled, are open to him potentially playing for their VFL and East Coast second-tier team. They are leaving decisions in the hands of McCartin who played most recently in the pre-season of 2018 but want to support him in his return to football in any way possible.


In many ways I am relieved.
I'd be sitting on the edge of my seat each time Paddy flew for a mark - was in a pack.

Concussion in sport is a problem.
Australia A vs. India D/N Tour Match
Will Pucovski has been ruled out of the first Test due to concussion
Cameron Green being accessed after being struck on the head and his sub Harry Conway is subbed out with concussion by Mark Steketee


AFL player Kade Kolodjashnij called time on his career aged just 25 years, after repeated concussions had caused “dark moments” and worse.
...
the news broke of the English hooker from their victorious 2003 World Cup campaign saying he can no longer remember the match, and sometimes not even his wife’s name, despite being only 42. He is one of eight litigants, including Australia’s own Michael Lipman, 40, who are suing World Rugby and the English Rugby Union for what they claim is their culpability in allowing them to suffer repeated concussions despite being aware of the long term dangers.

 
How? As a midfielder I think Parker would be in the second All Australian team, as an inside midfielder, he would be in the 7th All Australian team. I don't think that is super controversial.
You continue to state that Parker's a poor inside mid due to his lack of inside 50s. The pure role of an INSIDE Mid is to get the ball in the congestion and distribute it to the outside runners. As a result, a very successful inside mid should not get many inside 5os. They should be based on one stat, and one stat alone and that is clearances.

How is choosing to take draftees from WA & SA rather than Vic against the rules?
Touching Victorian kids is against the law.

Tasmanian, South Australian, and West Australian, well, it’s frowned upon and not spoken of in polite society but in Victoria is just illegal.
 
Not entirely. Look at the top 10 inside 50's players in 2020

1. Martin
2. Dangerfield
3. Merrett
4. Cousins
5. Bontempelli
6. S.Bolton
7. Neale
8. Viney
9. Florent
10. Macrae

So while not every player on that list is an inside midfielder, a lot of them are, and many of them the best inside mids in the competition.

dangerfield massively overrated. sure he gets plenty of the ball but his disposal efficiency is trash. regularly ranks outside the top 400 in the comp for disposal efficiency.

Martin - 63.68% disposal efficiency (rank 432)

Dangerfield - 62.62% disposal efficiency (rank 449)

Do you feel the same way about Dustin Martin? They have basically the same DE.

Because I assume he's grading it in a vacuum. Like how each club did given the talent available and their draft resources. For instance he gave Richmond an A for trading their first rounder out of this years draft into next years. Makes sense to me.

Thompson's story is horrible. Guys got half his life still to run but will be mentally handicapped for it. English Rugby showed criminal negligence

Unless you play on the SCG. It's so small an effective handball gets you inside 50.
