Anyone interested in having a gander at Ollie in action, here ya go.

Last Saturday's game

#20 Red Team Ollie Davis
#39 Red Team Darcy Gardner a 2021 draft chance maybe.





The standard looks awful. The touches on paper look good but really you can see why Hamish got seduced with Chayce Jones - using the playing against men argument is a very loose one.

Then go look at his 2 NAB League games against this year draftees from the Calder Cannons and Eastern Ranges.

Nobody got seduced by Chayce Jones' TSL football, he got selected off of a dominant U18 Championships against his peers. (All Australian team starting midfielder with Sam Walsh)

A lot of the talk around Chayce being well ahead of his peers however was that he played against men. At the time Hamish said this a few times.

Tasmania has the same population as Geelong + Werribee in Victoria. So the TSL is basically the quality of two VFL teams split across 7 teams without any of the AFL depth or delisted players you get in the VFL sides.

It's basically a local A division competition

Mentioned it draft night

So what...

These blokes selected Chayce as a starting midfielder alongside Sam Walsh in the 2018 U18's All Australian team, reckon they might have a clue too....

The AFL's Kevin Sheehan, Luke Power and Marcus Ashcroft, along with club recruiters Dom Milesi (Collingwood), Troy Selwood (Geelong), Luke Williams (Richmond) and Chris Liberatore (St Kilda), made up the All Australian selection committee.

Talking of classy ball using midfielders I rate Matty Roberts' foot skills to be better than those of Jason Horne, Roberts left foot is very close to elite.
If we finish 16th or 17th is pick 2 or 3 too early for Roberts at this stage assuming Horne is gone after a Daicos bid? I know we don’t mind going local a little earlier if you use the pedlar pick as an example

If Roberts has a big nationals, then he may be right in there for selection at pick 3 is my guess. Ideally we hope that a number of the vic mids perform at the nationals and it might then muddy the waters on where clubs value certain players

Still a bit early but Roberts is certainly already in the top half dozen or so you would think.

Nationals will define the pecking order I think....and there is a chance Roberts might see some Panthers SANFL League minutes after the Nationals I suspect.

From what I've read - 183cm, pure midfielder, neat left footer, that can kick goals.

I would be happy with that for our first rounder this year.

Does he have pace?

Fair effort by the Panthers if Horne and Roberts were taken in the top three.

I'd class him as a genuine mid/forward personally, not aware of his testing times but he's one of those players that has great spacial awareness and he's certainly not slow.

But in saying all that, he would surely have to be a way behind Horne purely as he is still playing junior level whereas Horne has not only been playing Seniors at SANFL but has cracked the state side?

Draper has to be top 10 for mine - has the hallmarks of the modern tall mid who is strong overhead and hit the scoreboard. Sort of like Perkins from last year.

Roberts has lovely skills, definitely a notch above Horne and lowers his eyes better. Horne just has that explosive game changing ability and power both on the ground and in the air. Both guns, South have a hattrick of stars who all should be playing league football.

That's who I want. He can absolutely lead your midfield for 15 years.

Roberts and his foot skills (if and once he develops, of course) would vastly improve our midfield. He’s right up there with the best of the best from this crop IMO

If we could find a way to snag him AND Draper, we’ll be set
