Combination of top 3 agility and speed test for O’Driscoll too much of a stretch at 10?

I think he is gone earlier. Would love him.

 

[Purple dynamite]

The brother, sister combo, would be some irresistible marketing.

 

[Ysaye]

I think he is gone earlier. Would love him.

Maybe - but I note that both Jordan McArdle and Callum Twomey had him well down their ranks previously and TBH his speed and agility was already "known" - the numbers are not a surprise. Don't be surprised if he is at our pick and we pass for someone else. I think of Jeremy Sharp went Pick 27 last year after playing mainly WAFL seniors and also being a good (arguably even slightly better) size/speed/skills package; again people on BigFooty had him about half of that, but again Twomey didn't rate him either.

I suspect some of what can't be seen in game or what a player does off the field in terms of preparation can easily be what is the difference between being a top 15 pick and a 16-30 pick. Or it might be some of the slight nuances in his decision making - does he bomb the ball a lot under pressure where he could make a more damaging pass?

Having said that, I really liked what I saw out on the field from O'Driscoll, and would definitely have him in the mix; I am just not as sure that he will be an early pick.

The suns were willing to trade pick 11 2020 draft for Sharp.

True but as someone said here recently, (I think it was Snuffaluphagus) the Suns are not a normal club and don’t value trade capital like others. There is no other club that would have done that trade in the league. I know it’s early too but Sharp has done nothing to suggest he was worth pick 11 either..

They throw away picks like kids with too many toys.

We need to do more trading with them.

Exactly , i can't believe Fremantle after 26 years don't take advantage of it like other club , apart from Pick 2 for Weller and Ballard and future 3rd for Matera . Stop complaining and try to do a deal to your advantage .

Wot.

Suns management is pretty poor.

Mckenzie they traded two second picks

The Eagles-Sun trade was seriously crap.

Then they trade up to get Flanders.

It just keeps going, they Are immature kids with impulse control.

We need to speak with them.

Who knows what they give for pick 10?

I agree with this. Hogan & pick 10 for pick 5 and pick 24? Jesse might like the surfing in the GC.
I’d do Blakely for pick 35 either in a heartbeat

I was thinking Fremantle pick 10 for the Suns 2021 first round plus 24 and 35.

Go back a page for a little bit of detail. The 2kms are on today.

I hope Brandon's "foot" is progressing ok they can be serious injuries not worth the risk in the national draft.

I heard it was just an unlucky trip on the barbed wire fence when he was going to see his girlfriend in quarantine.

Good post. thanks

McDonald and O'Driscoll doing their draft prospects no harm... Great work by Chapman - if only we needed more defenders Twomey was saying Adelaide are thinking of not bidding on JUH and taking McDonald with pick #1.

 

[Joao]

So O'Driscoll has speed, agility, a tank, is defensively good, has a penetrating kick but isn't a top 15 fancy?

He must look like **** to watch live or something. That's an awful lot going for him.

Could have taken that picture in a less awkward way.

Wow. Eddie Ford. What a player.

 

[Scham]

So the SANFL release the top 5 for each category in their combine but the WAFL cbf?

It is strange. I wondered whether it was because half the attendees couldn’t test because they had a grand final this weekend.

Maybe they are having a second testing session in a couple of weeks to inc. the group of Grand final players. Hopefully Belly picks up on minor injury sustained by Western in the GF that prevents him from blitzing the sprint and agility tests.
