“Doesn’t need a lot of possessions to have a real impact”

"Brings real impact as an opportunist forward with his pressure acts"

Todays afl article on Munkara doesn't answer a lot of questions about what happened to his season.

He wants to drafted by Essendon who can match after 40 and he didn't play much this year. It sounds like he's going to get to Essendon.

'It is what he wants': Why explosive NGA talent has eyes set on Dons

Athletic forward Anthony Munkara is high on recruiters' radars ahead of the NAB AFL Draft

www.afl.com.au

Munkara endured an injury-plagued year, hurting his ankle early in the campaign and managing only two SANFL under-18 matches with West Adelaide and one appearance at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships with the Allies.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lol that makes it sound like West Adelaide is part of Essendon's NGA zone.

I guess to the Melbourne private schoolboys of AFL House, Adelaide is remote Australia. One look at Gil confirms it.

According to posters on Essendon board, Essendon were keen to draft him use 22 on him (split 22) just in case someone else got him before 40. But now it looks like Tippa is coming back & the 2 Davey twins. They may just hope no one picks him up inside 40 now.

 

[Macca19]

That’s an interesting call Macca.
From what I’ve seen he’s basically a half forward flanker.
You must rate him pretty highly to over look some of the talls that might still be available.

He's a genuine forward flanker who is dangerous inside 50, has natural goal sense but can also play through the midfield effectively.

The last time we had a player of his type was Monfries. Boak tried and whilst I rated what he could do on a flank, noone else did, he lacked the finishing. Sam Gray tried but often got misused or wasn't good enough finishing. Rozee tried and whilst he had some great moments, his last couple of seasons as a forward were ordinary.

Whilst we need some KPD youth, we also equally need a dangerous link between midfield and forward. SPP had a good year but he's not the answer.

I'm super bullish on Clarke because he's got some grunt, has good pace and good skills. For me he projects to being an AA calibre player. If he's there with our pick - which is doubtful - but if he is, we must take him imo. There will be KPDs late. There won't be a player of Clarkes skill level late.

 

[Macca19]

Some phantom drafts have us in the range to pick up Dowling or Magor. How do people who have seen these guys rate Dowling and Magor? D' Aloia has also slid a lot but sounds like he could provide good support as an inside mid for Ollie and Drew (even displace Drew). Would you take him if he was there with one of our second or third picks?
There's also Lemmey, Spicer and Verral who could be available. I get the feeling that there is some good raw prospects quite late in this draft.

Not sure we have a need for D'Aloia now we have JHF, or Dowling. Magor could be a good later pick.

Think Munkara did play a fair quota of school football as well?

Pretty sure I saw a quote “tearing it up” somewhere about the traps.

He’s not getting to 40.

 

[Wargreymon90]

D’Aloia seems like a partington/Valenti type. Good honest footballer who excels at lower levels, but ultimately will only star at state level

YeH agree

As I said earlier, he’s the player we’ve tried to turn other players into for years.

I’m often not a fan of “pressure forwards” as I see them as limited.

Clarke is a genuine forward from the little I’ve seen. Scored buckets of goals and a few big hauls, while still doing all the “pressure” things.

If getting him means the end of the mcintee experiments pls give me Clarke.

 

[all seeing eye]

Not sure we have a need for D'Aloia now we have JHF, or Dowling. Magor could be a good later pick.

D'Aloia projects as a Graham type , inside accumulator and I think he will be a solid type at AFL , however I think we have that role covered on the list. I do like Dowling as I reckon he has the tools to play that Wing , high half forward role and is an attacking long kicking type. He will slip to late in the draft and may be available as a rookie. Magor has his fans but seems to have come along later in the yr and to me is a little unknown , hes only 184cm and playing that half forward role at AFL level could be challenging. At best he could be that Will Hayward type , as he has some tricks. Reckon he slips to late or rookie at best.

I agree regarding Magor being a Hayward type who can be a damaging, classy forward and add something to the midfield when required. If he's as good as him he's worth a spot.
Apparently D'Aloia is a one grab clean distributer type and accumilator but isn't a natural spreader. He sounds a bit like an Ollie type but without his power. With his better disposal skills I think he sounds like he could be an upgrade on Drew.
Dowling has a good balance of inside ball winning and outside speed from what I have read.

Id like all three plus Keeler, Lemming and Van Es. It's a pity we only have 3 list spaces left (since we have promised to rookie list Williams).

I want him because he is a huge pest on-field. SPP, next-level Butters, then Clarke on a forward flank would be awesome! You cant have enuf of them!

Your comment, and Monfries mentioned in the post you quoted, made me think of that time when Angus caused Heath Shaw to have a complete mental breakdown in the goalsquare in that final. Good times

 

[tribey]

Trengove was a Junior ruck/forward who slid (because of injury) and became a decent CHB.

He was a weird one in that he had a late growth spurt that made him a bit gangly and unco, on top of tearing his hamstring off the bone, which was further complicated by the surgeon severing a nerve that caused his foot to flop and almost ended his career before it began.

Prior to all this, I remember seeing some footage as Trengove as a junior, and he looked as fluid and agile a mover with a surprising burst of speed I’ve seen in a young tall prospect.

Here it is,



He was still a more than serviceable defender at AFL level, excellent at his best, but jeez, the kid in this footage was something else.

As long as he’s a good kick them I’m sold.
Thanks for the info on him.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I saw Braydon Leary play a couple of games for the allies. I thought he looked pretty good as a pesky goal sneak. He was always working and trying to create something.

Brandon Leary put together an impressive season, particularly in the NAB League

I agree with Macca here. If Clarke is available at 33, he's gotta be our first pick. He could become a genuine match winner and with us having Fantasia and Rioli, he could play an important role. Doubt he gets to us though

 

[PJ Power]

Can I clarify whether we will use two picks in the main draft and one in the rookie draft for a total of three new players, or just the two in the main draft?


I like the look of Clarke too at #33, but feel that we should bring two big key defenders onto the list also.

We might use the rookie pick, we might save the list spot for a pre season supplemental pick up or we might wait until the mid season draft.

We don't know yet and I'd imagine the club will make the decision based on the quality of players available at our rookie pick.

We need to take 2 national draft picks though.

Phillips and Lemmey would do me just fine

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He has Charlie Clarke going after our pick.

I would be quite happy with Clarke and Lemmey.
