I've heard he's not in the conversation for us, of course things can shift in the final games.

Geez, if he isn’t in the conversation I’m not real confident that we are identifying the right types of players.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I've heard he's not in the conversation for us, of course things can shift in the final games.

Of course he's not. Why would he be? Late, blooming 18 year old key forward... nah, we don't need one of those.

He's probably not in the conversation because Brady hasn't even heard of him yet.

 

[7577969923]

I don't think Howes will be an immediate remedy to our issues. He still has plenty of development to go before he'll be ready for AFL footy. He is only 18 and is coming off two injury interrupted years.

I'm keen as to take him with pick 1, but I don't want posters to have unrealistic expectations of what he'll bring to the table.

Exactly. He would be just another piece of the full puzzle. If he becomes a consistent part of the best 25 or 26 players at the club then that is a great outcome.

As an 18-year-old key position prospect he should be viewed in a similar way to Will Dawson.

Been following North long?

We just took a 20y/o Sellars.

He’d want to be better than him.

 

[kool kangas]

Yeah I know, I'm just being realistic. A couple of VFL games isn't going to fully prepare him for senior footy.

But it will give us an indication of if he will make it or not..

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Rightly or wrongly I remember similar disappointment we let Jackson Callow go past us twice. A lesser degree Jack Buller last year. Jacob Edwards epitomised late blooming 18yo.

It may well be a different story in a fortnight but I'd anticipate ruck coverage hopefully using a second pick. With the pick of the field surely it's somebody standing out that fits just as much of a need.

Ruck coverage would be a wise move for sure. Wouldn't be against that.

Sellers was 21 when we added him to the list.

Howes is 3cm taller and 3 years younger. I think those things are material differences.

I wouldn't write off Sellers. It is possible he can provide decent KPF depth for the next few years. I'd be surprised if he became a 100-game player though.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Ruck coverage would be a wise move for sure. Wouldn't be against that.

Hopefully we get somebody happy to play the CCJ role for the back end of the season, keep X rested and Larkey forward. I think there'll be some better long term options available looking for opportunity this off season with Goad not ready and Free all but finished. CCJ is the great 2025 mystery.

Sellers was runner up in the VFL BnF last year and kicked 30+ goals.

To expect an 18 year old Howes to come in and have more of an impact than Sellers is unrealistic.

Where'd ya hear that? Seems crazy if that's the case

I’m speaking more regarding their ceiling.

We’re in this mess due to selecting a whole host of similar players with no elite attributes and neglecting other areas.

Could put a plank of wood down there. Just as effective.

Wonderful.

Congratulations Richmond and Hawthorn, enjoy the 196cm key forward discard.

If Rawlings misses again on yet another MSD selection, does it just prove that the knowledge of our drafting “department” will be trumped by the collective hearsay of a bunch of part-time (and for some not-so-part-time) internet nerds?

and Kane Turner type coming in.

Howes looks just what we need - we are severely lacking up forward and we will bring in some guy that every other club had about 10 th on their list

Does “missing” mean not picking the nerds’ pre-draft favourite? Or not picking someone who turns out to be a handy player? Because they are not the same thing.

Just reading the form guide and it isn’t great reading.

 

[Passmore]

We're blaming Rawlings for something that hasn't even happened and it's someone else's job anyway?

Jackson Callow pls

 

[shinboner magic]

Jackson Callow pls

Yes - If he can provide a contest.

World record intercept marks each week - does mu ****en head in

Get a kpf and a small forward

This is poor by the AFL in my opinion. It’s an avenue for clubs mostly to cover a few injuries, surely an exemption or two can be granted especially since these two have history at the elite level.

 

[CarnTheKANGAS]

Yes - If he can provide a contest.

World record intercept marks each week - does mu hecken head in

Get a kpf and a small forward

Get a kpf another kpf and a ruck

 

[bennymate]

Realistically whoever we pick up will spend 6 weeks in the VFL, be rushed into the AFL and make no difference.

Gotta love the MSD.
