Pick 3 and one of our 2022 second rounders?
God I hope we aren't going after Hobbs.maybe we ain’t going after Hobbs then after all
This season we were able to get him development in the VFL then a little taste towards the end. He won't be a gun straight away but I was impressed with some things I saw him do. As he develops, he will improve his flaws!Still not sold on Davies. Must take a leaf out of Touk's book and learn how to kick. He has all the tools otherwise. If he learns to kick well he can become an A Grader. Otherwise will spend his career on the edge of the 22.
Hughie isn't a great kick either, Davies floor should be about the same as Greenwoods, more agile in traffic than Hughie too.Still not sold on Davies. Must take a leaf out of Touk's book and learn how to kick. He has all the tools otherwise. If he learns to kick well he can become an A Grader. Otherwise will spend his career on the edge of the 22.
This can't be underestimated. Davies is a part of our first class of draftees that we've been able to pump reserves games into against serious competition every week in the VFL. Keep an eye on Jeffrey and Hollands as well as they fall into the same category.This season we were able to get him development in the VFL then a little taste towards the end.

Davies' speed is very impressive for someone who stands 192cm. I also saw a few second and third efforts in his AFL debut. I was impressed.Hughie isn't a great kick either, Davies floor should be about the same as Greenwoods, more agile in traffic than Hughie too.
Still not sold on Davies. Must take a leaf out of Touk's book and learn how to kick. He has all the tools otherwise. If he learns to kick well he can become an A Grader. Otherwise will spend his career on the edge of the 22.
You think his kicking technique or composure is more suspect?Still not sold on Davies. Must take a leaf out of Touk's book and learn how to kick. He has all the tools otherwise. If he learns to kick well he can become an A Grader. Otherwise will spend his career on the edge of the 22.
Looked like both tbqh. Even when he had some time and composure, always kicks the ball very high and doesn't find a target. Been the case for as long as I've watched him.You think his kicking technique or composure is more suspect?
Not writing him off, but has a long way to go is all.Geez you're a tough taskmaster, Sunny......
the kid's 19yo had 1 pre-season and played 1 game and had 16 disposals in that game...
.Touk in his 1st game, had 73% TOG and had only 6 disposals.... and went at 33% efficiency............look how he's going now.....
I reckon Davies will kill it....all things being equal.
I’m of the thinking just take the best available at pick 3, we have a poor track record when trying to be too smart, plus we have a very talented list as it is.Pick 3 and one of our 2022 second rounders?
First option, don't get too smart, just take who's there of Gibcus/Callaghan and move on.I’m of the thinking just take the best available at pick 3, we have a poor track record when trying to be too smart, plus we have a very talented list as it is.
Another option is trade out pick 3 to get a couple of KPP, as an example 2 first rounders say 7 & 15 from the Tigers or if the Hawks can turn 21 and 24 into a pick in the teens so we get pick 5 and say 13 (GWS pick in exchange for Hawks picks) with a future 2nd going back to the Hawks

Think that's what he meant though.Geez you're a tough taskmaster, Sunny......

Harsh in my opinion. I can't think of any of our players having a better debut recently. Rowell is probably on par. Anderson had half output, not mentioning Sharp, Flanders, Jeffrey, Rosas, King, Luko who were all underwhelming in their debuts.Still not sold on Davies. Must take a leaf out of Touk's book and learn how to kick. He has all the tools otherwise. If he learns to kick well he can become an A Grader. Otherwise will spend his career on the edge of the 22.
Took Touk (cue Thai Tuk Tuk jokes) years to get his kicking right. I think Davies will improve there. At least he can already get some distance on his kicks. In any case I see him more as the one dishing it out to outside runners.Still not sold on Davies. Must take a leaf out of Touk's book and learn how to kick. He has all the tools otherwise.

So we're keeping Conroy and Murtagh? I'm a little surprised but the club must see potential in them.With 6 list changes ( 4 retirements, 1 delisted, 1 trade) Add in Chol + 1 kid from the draft. 2 academy, that leaves 2 re-signings? Unless there will be others delisted.
Out of:
Matt Conroy, Patrick Murtagh, Hewago Paul Oea,Malcolm Rosas,Luke Towey, Jacob Townsend
Rosas is close to finalising a new deal for the next two seasons after knocking back the Bombers’ inquiries. The Suns will secure Tiger Mabior Chol on a four-year free agency deal, while category B rookie Oea and Queensland rookie products Conroy and Murtagh are expected to continue. Irishman Towey will have to wait to find out his fate, and whether Gold Coast gives four-club player Townsend another year remains to be seen.
Cat B doesn't count toward the other rookie list.
Even if we keep all current rookies (Townsend, Nicholls, Murtagh, Conroy, Moyle, Oea, Towey) and we only draft pick 3 and bring in only 2 academy kids we still have one rookie spot available.So we're keeping Conroy and Murtagh? I'm a little surprised but the club must see potential in them.
I wonder if that will prevent us from recruiting Casboult?
