he's a 19 year old playing against players a year younger and usually skinnier/smaller than him
he doesn't do enough for mine, has games where he kicks 0 and just goes missing. Wouldn't be close to draft conversation right now

He's been pretty good this season, I've been a fan of him for a while and he hasn't disappointed this year but it's easy to see why there are others picked ahead of him. He can find the ball better than most and use it well but his size is a real issue for the next level. Deserves a state call up but I don't think he's gotten one yet (with a few other guys getting late call ups I'm hopeful he gets a chance) and has a few other mids ahead of him like Kane Bevan, Elijah Hewett, Jed Hagan and even there might be more upside in some like Mitch Barron and Harry ColeBastyy you got anything about Christian Wilson from SF?
cheers for that, do you know any players that have been added onto the state team apart from Harry Cole?He's been pretty good this season, I've been a fan of him for a while and he hasn't disappointed this year but it's easy to see why there are others picked ahead of him.

Definitely one to watch though
Cole is the only one I've heard of so far, but we've still got just under a month until WA's first game so we should know of the final squad sooncheers for that, do you know any players that have been added onto the state team apart from Harry Cole?
That's a misleading stat. The games in the wet where the ones that would have resulted in our low ranking in that stat. We were doing well in in that area beafore our two games in the wet.That’s astounding! Actually thought that was one of our strengths this season…
A pick in the 15-18 bracket, with Mundy, Walters getting on.
A 192cm mid would be handy. Then another forward?
No current season stats available
Even tho we don't really have any tall inside mids coming through, there are big expectations of Angus brayshaw coming in.A pick in the 15-18 bracket, with Mundy, Walters getting on.

Brayshaw x2, Serong, Brodie, Erasmus, Johnson is already going to be hard to fit in the 22. I don't think we need anymore inside mids.
He is a 174cm midfielder.Hagan has had an awesome season so far, expect him to rise up the rankings.
I was pondering it too but I think he meant coming through the draft.... Erasmus and Johnson are giants in inside mid terms
You are right, they are rarely seenHe is a 174cm midfielder.
They tend to fall in the draft.
I was thinking that either a mid sized forward or a tall full back would be good. Will need someone to be able to replace Alex Pearcenext time he gets injured.PLAYERCARDSTART25Alex Pearce

You get the odd one or two but seriously they do fall in the draft according to their ability.You are right, they are rarely seen
A true small forward, not small midfielder who is shoehorned forward, would be my priority.I expect we will go best available - there are at this stage really no pressing list needs in terms of position:
1. We really don't need to draft tall midfielders; as Taylor said we already have Erasmus (190cm) and Johnson (192cm) in the wings as well as it going to be hard to fit both Fyfe (190cm) and Brodie (189) into the same team, as well as Acres (190cm) who has solidified his spot in the team this year. Also O'Driscoll (188cm) who was in the team and playing well before injury.
2. I dont think we would be after any more ruck/forwards with Kuet and Benning already on the list developing along with Meek. And we have plenty of backup key forward prospects in both Treacy and Amiss who aren't even in the side yet, but have been performing reasonably (when fit) at WAFL level.
3. We have a large number of defenders that can play a lock down role, so much so that we have moved one forward and still have a premiership one in the WAFL.
As such we should definitely be going into this year's draft with an open mind. Good character, good athletic traits and skill will be the focus I would imagine.
