Team Gold too good that half. Haddow's clearance work really good. Dixon dangerous up forward and McPartland kicked an amazing goal from the pocket. Winder good as well. DGB is really in a class of his own - lost count of his intercept marks already.
Lane looks injured and Mallard dominating the ruck a bit. Western dislocated a finger at the Q2 opening bounce and hasn't come back on yet.

i reckon DGB could the one that notes us if he’s available and we don’t take him. Although I Like Phillips too
How did Brockman and Page do after last week?
Thanks for the updates. Couple of questions:
Is Haddow edging ahead of C walker for the vacant Cat B rookie spot? Or is Alvarez in the mix?
Could DGB be more than just a intercept defender? Maybe forward potential - if so he’ll be snapped up well before pick 10 so doesn’t really matter I suppose.
Did Westerns stocks go up or down today - seems he had a quiet one, which is probably no harm..
I have no idea about our remaining Cat B spot. I would think Chris Walker would still be the most likely (he didn't play). I like Alvarez and Haddow but can't see either being drafted.
If DGB isn't a top 6 pick I'll be surprised. Capable of playing forward but prefer him as a defender (like Naughton).
Western played a quarter in the forward line with no supply. Pretty much touched it every time it did come forward and was classy when he had it (unlike a lot of his teammates who blasted away and turned it over). He sat out injured for the last 3 quarters after attending the first bounce of the 2nd quarter and dislocating his finger.
It was a much more free flowing game than last time mainly because the pressure seemed down on last week imo. The bottom agers were given a lot of opportunity and stood out more than most of this year's prospects. Williams kicked three I think and should have kicked more - went missing in the 2nd and 3rd quarter though.
Shannon Neale kicked 3 goals which was good - his stocks probably got a boost from that game. Mallard was the best ruck but Lane didn't look 100%.

Different positions really, Darren Glass was a full back whereas DGB plays higher up the ground. One thing DGB has had at his current level (WAFL seniors) has been good on the rebound, setting up stuff by foot. DGB is probably a better intercepting mark as well, but as I said part of that will be because of the role he plays. I would actually say he reminds me more of Luke McPharlin.
Edited to... Would DGB have been the u18 All Australian CHB like Brennan Cox and Aaron Naughton but then be used in the forward line before realising they are all far better as defenders?

Hogan year of being drafted had 10 games with colts netting 23 goals
Logan McDonald had 1 colts game and 9 senior games for 24 goals.
Some other similar comparisons as well

Hogan was a year younger.

I know I say every year you shouldn't read too much into draftee highlights, then hypocritically draw inferences off them anyway (I was impressed with Serongs) BUT:
Logan MacDonalds highlights don't impress me that much. He seems awkward and lacks the smooth athleticism of a top power forward.
That said he seems to have good footy smarts, good movement, speed and kicking skills.

I bumped into a Mate today that is an keen East Freo supporter, and watches a lot of the East Freo Colts games.
Had a good discussion about the current years Draft potentials.. obviously knew the NGA boys, and said Brandon should be out of his moon boot, next week after a small fracture.
I hadn’t seen Jack Carroll play so asked him his opinion.. indicated he was a balanced Mid more inside than out. Not extreme speed, but not slow either. Compared him to Redden of the weagles

Can’t help be upset at the incredible bad luck it was that Walker played the season but perfectly missed combine testing and the U18 games, only to recover just after in time for pre-season. Horrible bad luck that is...

DRAGONS FFC DGB on the Road to the Draft Pod today.
values culture etc. competitive beast. Doesn’t like to be beaten and will do whatever he can to not get beaten again.

Twomey also explained why he has O’Driscoll lower than most. Feels his impact on games isn’t as good as other players, his speed and agility from the testing doesn’t translate into games, and disposal can suffer in comparison to others
The mate did have some comments re Brandon, which sounded like if I remember correctly sounded like “ghost who walks” faster than a normal person, seems to have more time.
Just runs off and away from opposition. In purple he will be unstoppable.
I could be wrong but he sounds like the Phantom.. if your old enough you will know what I mean, if not it’s a wot is he talking about!
