List Mgmt. 2020 Young Talent time

[eDPS]

Can you tell us anything about Callum Johnson from West Perth?

I’m yet to watch him, hopefully West Perth are streamed soon. From what I understand he is your usually smaller mid accumulator with not much athleticism. Zurgblade would be the person to ask

 

[Van_Dyke]

Zane Trew injured? Hasn't had a touch since the first quarter

someone on the draft board said he got concussed

 

[Superkoops]

Can you tell us anything about Callum Johnson from West Perth?

He played well in the finals last year and carried that form over into 2020. Both he and Heath Chapman (CHB) from West Perth are good prospects.

 

[Kwality]

Performances at lower levels can show promise but seriously you need to see young players at higher levels to make an assessment.

League and National champs count and not PSA.

The boy Clape yet to play Colts.
Alcock Cup is a proven comp, e.g AA 2019.
Kids boarding are used to living away from home.

 

[Lach72]

The way Serong is developing I think we have no issues with going tall forward this year.

Keep Mundy going for one more year.

Coached him at baseball. Good kid, lives and breathes footy. Got a bit of Mongrel, but undersized.

To be the best you got to beat the best.

National championship and league football has more weight than school or colts football.

Did western play this week?

No argument but to suggest 'League and National champs count and not PSA' is bog ignorant.

 

[Bastyy]

Still injured I believe

 

[maccamk]

Still injured I believe

He will fit right in with a minor hamstring injury.

Chris Walker intrigues me. He could be another athletic mid. Played well until he got concusses in the first game

Given it looks like Ol' David "The Bag Carrier" Walls has hit on every 1st round pick since 2016 (that is A LOT harder than it sounds, look at our history), I suppose we just have to back the man in.

16 - Logue
17 - AB, Cerra
18 - Sturt
19 - Young, Serong, Henry

Cant argue with that haul, even if we havent seen Henry debut yet

 

[Dockeroo]

This is Jason Horne, the 17 yo kid from SA tipped as a no 1 pick next year. Holy shit!! He looks like a freak of nature!

 

[Bigger]

He’s as loose as a string bag.

I didn’t think they made shorts like that anymore.

He'll definitely be in the mix for us.

could DGB play as a key forward either?

Marking and reading the play is handy anywhere

Trying to remember where, but there was speculation he could play midfield. All just speculation, but sounds like he may have spent time up the ground. I do lean towards the opinion that a top 5 pick on a defender is a luxury. Decent defenders can be found later. If we ended up with 4* of our defenders being top 10 picks they should be unbeatable.

*Hill, Young, Logue, DGB. (not including Conca or Aish).

surely Young is the one with the most transferable skill set.

Watching him on the weekend gave me the impression he could become a midfielder, I know it is harder to ‘make a midfielder’ but how he handles ground balls in general play could be translated well to being a midfielder. Bont and Fyfe weren’t bonafide mids in their draft year but I can’t say if they didn’t play any midfield time at all which DGB hasn’t done and won’t do as he is entrenched in Swan Districts senior team and defence.

A potential tall midfielder with his marking ability is a premium if it can be realised but his intercept marking ability is also a premium as I haven’t seen many kids as naturally good at it as he is, he is every chance of also being the very best interceptor in the game.

Young and Ryan are damn good intercept defenders and I'm not sure how many you need. The defender I think we are most in need of is a taller type who can handle the likes of Dixon or the Kings. But I am a fan of DGB.

What KPDs do you like around our 2nd pick?

We should trade in that Alex Pearce guy. Trade in from our injury list that is.

In American Football their is a lot of lopsided contests in college.

New England Patrols heavy weight the level of comp.

They see lower levels of comp not as true indication of talent.

New England have four years of judging a player but I think the concept is the same.

I believe that watching PSA can give recruiters a misunderstanding of talent.
