Max Gruzewski

193 cms
84 kgs

Gets a lot of love over on the draft board.

Can take a mark plays both ends of the ground.

Is a really good prospect but doesn't fill a need for us imo

See a bit of Chad Cornes about his game.

If he can play down back?

Scouting notes from a few weeks ago.

“Max Gruzewski
Another great user of the ball by foot, 12 of Gruzewski’s 16 disposals were kicks as he slotted seamlessly back into Oakleigh’s back six. The top-ager is a mobile 193cm prospect, and lowered his eyes nicely when hitting targets up the field. His punchy and effective distribution was particularly noticeable in the first quarter, but slowed as Bendigo began to get well on top.”

Good judges are pretty keen on him and at a 25-35 pick ?

This is just wrong

Its not a huge gamble but the club used a bit of capital to go get him, you can't ignore that.

I agree he has all the pieces but it was a gamble, you can argue how big and and educated until the cows come home.

Drafting is essentially gambling

Like the old saying goes only two certainties in life,Death and Taxes.

What’s happened to Anthony Munkara?

Would love to get him with our 2nd round pick or later in the draft.

He's a good prospect and I'd take him if we were drafting without a specific need but otherwise, he's another 193cm tall and we need someone closer to 200cm. Which is why I'm keen on Van Es with a pick in the 40s

Nothing has happened per se but he doesn't have as much exposed form at the top level for an u18 and so is deemed to be a bit raw. I'd go for him with a 2nd round pick ahead of Rioli. The thing that really really worries me about Rioli is we get 1 full good year and then he barely turns up. It's a real risk

 

[Revan11]

Tempted to split 8 for two teen picks if that lands Busslinger and Hayes.

So our options for FS and Academy this year are:

• Harper Montgomery
• Will Francou
• Nathan Barkla?

I assume they're all rookie at best, with Barkla on the Cat B list, if at all? Any thoughts?

Given our list constraints at SANFL level, and as far as I'm aware, the only extension you can have on your 42 players is to add Cat B players. So under those conditions IMO if you have 3 potential cat B players that have a hint of potential, then personally I'd list them all!!!

We're better off, as a club, having 3 extra AFL listed and trained people in our system, helping contribute at SANFL level, than picking 3 more SAAFL div 1 players to fill gaps on weekends.

That's my thoughts.

I would assume only Barkla can be a cat B rookie, as he is NGA. Monty & Francou as FS would have to be cat A.

Yeah that's right, so Barkla should really be an automatic selection IMO.

Always said we should have an Usain Bolt and Andre The Giant type as Cat B’s every year. Just take the chance.

I don't think those 3 guys that were listed are either Bolt or Andre though.
Need some African talls - or strongly built road runners.

[missionpossible]

Probably need to focus on pick 54 now.

 

[Addy23]

Probably need to focus on pick 54 now.

Yup, let's hope it's Van Es. JHF will fix midfield issues. Rioli somewhat fixes forward line issues. We may get Ratugolea but Van Es will hopefully fix our KPD stocks.

The JHF deal will also mean we can't trade future picks without an exemption so will be interesting!

This board needs to dig in deep to unearth some gems before draft night!

 

[MrChow]

After the JHF news, I think this thread should be archived.

Do we have to take anyone in the draft?

yes

 

[robbo1981]

Scully ?

 

[It Just Is]

With JHF on board, we need small forwards and talls so picking late in the draft is fine.

Small forwards: Munkara, George (if he slides due to his ACL) and Magor

Talls: Scully and Will Edwards

 

[davesnothere]

Lemmey at our 1st pick at 57

Beau Tedcastle I’m really keen on at what ever pick we have after that.

Could still end up a decent draft.[emoji848]

We might have to elevate a rookie or 2 rather than commit to pick 100 for 2 years.

Then again pushing out players like Hayes might make marginally more sense if the pick we get ends up being our earliest one.

Lemmy doesn't slide THAT far!

 

[philthy05]

Anyone you like that late?


I think we need to just play the key defender lottery. Add as many worthwhile prospects as we can over the next two years.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

After Rioli, our first pick could be 81 lol

 

[Port 2004]

Probably need to focus on pick 54 no

What do you think we will have to give up for JHF? Missio
