JHF very impressive today.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

JHF very impressive today.

He just looks and moves with the swagger of a good player .....

 

[Tas]

If we think McAsey may end up going home within the next 2 years Sam Skinner late in the draft would be a good pick up to replace him

Skinner is a delisted free agent, anyone can take him at any time. He trained with us last year as a forward and played most of the year up forward in Adelaide as well. Went down back not long ago and he had a ripper game today. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it to the draft.

 

[StonesThrow]

JHF very impressive today.

Yeah but can he step down into a lower comp and get 40 touches?

 

[Mutineer]

Ask Knightmare?

 

[Sanders]

Struggling to think what we actually have in the midfield right now that we wouldn't try to get an upgrade on?

always draft for talent not need

 

[Mutineer]

 

[Sanders]

Theres absolutely no chance suns give up a contracted rankine this year without demanding, at a minimum, a first rounder.

That contract makes him worth less not more.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

 

[Sanders]

Rankines worth whatever price the suns put on him if he asks to be traded home this year.. he is contracted.

that’s not what worth means. Something is only worth what someone else is prepared to pay

 

[Sanders]

It's been reported that most clubs recruiters believe they've seen enough of this years Draft crop, in the first half of the year, to make reasonable assessments

Once again, depends on whether you're asking your recruiters to select players on Draft Year form or latent talent ....this IMO is a godsend, as too many players get drafted highly due to "out of the box" draft year form .....and highly talented players that have had a poor year, drop down the draft order

the old adage that “form is temporary but class is permanent” doesn’t apply to young, unproven prospects

can’t recall where but I was reading a few days ago that recruiters considered this to be a mediocre draft. No not after the first few, nothing about depths or drop offs, just lousy quality

 

[Sanders]

Couldnt have got Smith....he draft tampered remember (sorry, explained he just didnt want to go to an "interstate" club....nothing to see here...poor guy. If only JHF could develop similar issues...

don’t confuse rumour and scuttlebut with actual facts

any team could have drafted Smith, but on balance of risks decided not to

looking a bad decision. Gun

 

[Sanders]

Yeah, I'm very much aboard this train.

Ward and Hobbs sound like quality midfielders, but I feel we've invested heavily in this type already (Pedlar/Shoenberg/Berry) and were already reasonably well stocked especially now Crouch has signed on. Maybe they're better, maybe they're not, but its going to be an absolute sh*t fight to get Pedlar/Shoenberg/Berry adequate game time to develop, let alone adding another very similar midfielder to that mix.

To me the three you mention (Callaghan/Erasmus/Goater) appear to be the point of difference type midfielders that we're realistically crying out for.

With flat drafts like this one supposedly is, needs based selections come more to the fore. If we trade down as some are suggesting, I think we potentially box ourselves into drafting a player that doesn't suit our needs, or you end up reaching as a result.

Ultimately we've spent the last 3-4 years trading down and into future drafts, we've now got a high volume of young talent that's going to be fighting for adequate opportunities. I think we need to maximise the talent at our selections, going quality over quantity.

using the word “invested” doesn’t change the fact that teams draft for talent. And they certainly don’t specify the minor quibbles between type of mids!

 

[Sanders]

.but recruiters have no reason to fudge feedback re this Draft

Fudge feedback, heck they have no incentive to give away anything at all?

 

[Sanders]

That's 1.85cm Hawk Changkuoth Jiath to Ben's right, and that's a moon boot not high heels on Ben's foot.

Looks like a young Luke Ball

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Mutineer ....my boy Mac Andrew now rocketing up the board ....looks like Roberts may even be available at our 2nd pick, that's if we still have it

Still plenty of time for Callaghan to drop to us

Smart man that Ed Pascoe but more importantly he has Adelaide's pick bang on and then some!!!

Definitely a likeness there.

He was a bigger flightrisk than an afghan interpreter trying to get out after the troop withdrawal

 

[goyoucrows]

Uncontracted !

This is what I think Everytime mentions of picks to get Dawson come up. Am I missing something? He literally is contacted to no AFL club.

 

[Thunderstruck]

I thought Hobbs was like 181 cm ?

Is this assessment a true reflection Bicks ? .....particularly his weaknesses ?

Hobbs is the jack of all trades master of none type. Very solid mid, works hard offensively and defensively and kicks goals. Wins his own ball and generally a lot of the pill every week consistently. He's very much like Taylor Adams for mine. Would love him.

Not often players go through the PSD - particularly good players. GWS let Hateley go and GC Martin because they were making a point / weren’t getting picks back they could use. Sydney won’t do that

see, you still don’t *know* that

and unfortunately those interpreters were very low flight risk

Looks a bit superstitious as well, no pick 13

Who is going to be taken before Callaghan?
Virtually everyone has him locked in top 4 now and I can't see anyone moving up enough.

This will be the highest pick we have used on a midfielder if we take one.
