Hamish on Turner: “As a player he offers a point of difference for our midfield in he has good speed and lateral movement and can go left and right foot out of stoppage." Whos fault is that Hamish?
Hamish is so far up his own arse that he wouldnt even realise the unbeleivble irony in that comment..

He has beleived the bullshit many spoke about him being this draft guru a few years back and now thinks he is unquestionable..

185 is medium/small size for a mid these days.. they are getting up around the 190-195 mark now days..

But we are still stuck in 2017… still thinking we need a mosquito fleet because thats what beat us in the GF..

Which has clearly completely ducked with the clubs hea

Average height for a midfielder is ~184 cm.

There are a handful of tall midfielders, but they are the exception, not the rule.
Just looked - Oliver is 187cm...Wines 187cm...Sam Walsh 184cm...Jack Steele 187cm, so at 185cm he is hardly a midget. Anyway, like I said I know nothing about him as I never watch SANFL....hope he isnt awful..thought though we should have picked up Voss with the second pick..did actually watch the state game and thought he was great and a ready made replacement for Brown...
 
It baffles me.

KPD
Butts - a lock
Murray - Questionable at best
Frampton - not the answer
Borlase - untried and undersized
Worrell - Undersized, better suited to mid-sized

KPF
Walker - nearly finished
Thilthorpe - Promising, but questionable as a key forward
Fog - Undersized. Questionable at best
Himmelberg - Nope.
Gollant - a 3rd tall, not a key position

Ruck
ROB - Useful when at 100%. Awful once he is below that.
Strachan - Good skilled, but already at the age he should be ready and is still easily pushed away.
Thilthorpe - Probably his best position. Not ready though.
That's it. There is nothing else.

I can't believe that not one of the players available have enough upsize to at least give a go for 18 months. At least 3-4 of those listed are clearly not up to it and need to be cut.
 
I think everyone that is doing a bit of an El Guapo.

Could it be that once again you are angry at something else …


Did you miss us passing on our 2nd pick?

We don't have a cap issue & lack talent on our list.

Yet, you think this ok... well i don't as it's a missed opportunity!
 

19 - Brett Turner (Glenelg)​

Recruited from West Adelaide, Turner rewarded his new team with an exceptional campaign as a big-bodied midfielder. Runner-up in Glenelg’s best-and-fairest, Turner also earned a spot in The Advertiser SANFL Team of the Year while ranking first in the competition for inside 50s, fourth for clearances, seventh in disposals and third in tackles.

This 100%. Should have gone a ruckman

Would be totally ridiculous to pick a midfielder tomorrow, we already have a conga line of young midfielders that can't get any meaningful midfield minutes. Throwing another joker into the mix for the last 11 games is pointless. Grab the best KPD available and just bloody play him in the senior team, we've seen what happens when we have no Butts - would also free Doedee up a bit not having to defend someone 10cm taller than him every game.

Having said that I expect the AFC to select a slow mid that will play 2 games in the forward pocket before the season ends and we pass on our other selection.

We should have a poll on what people expect us to do - not what we should be doing.

Don't ask me for Saturdays lotto numbers - they're hard to predict.

Unfortunately predicting the next AFC duck up is like shelling peas.

I can't believe we posted those highlights. Check out the clearance against us at the 50s mark :oops: brilliant work from our mids....

We still have so many idiots at our club who think they are a lot smarter then they really are.

The SANFL website has him out for another 2-3 weeks injured. Will he actually play for us.
