[The Nostradamus]

How did Payne go this week?

Form wise seems the best player available

 

[shinboner magic]

There’s 60 pages of discussion on here and it’s hilarious that we’re even taking this draft serious.

It doesn’t matter who we pick up.

No one we select is going to improve us in the short term and there is no immediate sugar hit to lift the spirits of the club through player/s that were overlooked just 6 months ago.

The talent pool is thin. I don’t know what to call it but being equipped with the first selection in the mid season draft and then having to endure the fake media hype behind the selection, is patronising as a supporter.

Just get the pies notes

This

TT is technically on the list til years end

So just the 2

Just means we delist one less player at years end

l would have thought that like those on the LTI list TT is in the same circumstances where he is unavailable to play..

That's a mighty fine logic but the reality is the AFL is not going to let us replace Tarryn Thomas with a selection in the MSD. It's already been decided.

Howes running off clutching his strapped shoulder

 

[JUST NORTH]

Geordie Payne was picked by the Allies to play against SA but opted not to play according to commentators

Smart he probably doesn’t want to risk injury and not get picked

Reckon we’ve promised to take him

 

[The Nostradamus]

Wouldn’t mind Hudson Garoni at our second pick

 

[giantroo]

 

[cybercrab]

Howes with 2 goals, 2 behinds, 13 disposals, 4 marks, 5 hitouts, 1 tackle and 2 clearances in a 12 point win vs the Allies in the U18 championships. He also kicked a clutch goal in the 4th quarter to tie the game

Good write up but the stats are more impressive than his game. No more than average and I’ll be disappointed if he’s our first selection

 

[ChairmanZia]

My mate coaches in Wafl and doubts he's AFL standard

then who is afl standard?

 

[ChairmanZia]

Never again.

That's f-ed

 

[The Filth Wizard]

He won't be. I doubt he'd be our second either if we take one. Can see us taking Payne and hoping a Joe Pike type is there at the second pick, somebody who can play ruck/forward at least.

They showed last year if they don't rate anyone at the second pick they won't take one. Especially when we don't have a permanent status on our extra list spots.

Yeah I agree his stats were better than his game, his tank is also nowhere near afl standard. Howes and Scaife's weaknesses are contested marking which really isn't ideal at all. I'd probably lean more towards Scaife for our pick, as he is older and has a solidly built body. Or go left field and select Saad El-Hawli, Payne is fast and can kick goals but we can't keep recruiting players who can't kick

Cooper Keogh who was on our vfl list last year and now plays for Coburg would be great ruck depth. He turns 26 this year and has good tap work, does some nice things around the ground as well. Last year the poor guy was kept out of the side by the 200cm traffic cone Jacob Edwards

So the knock on Payne is disposal? Is it bad technique, execution or decision?

His decision making and execution is questionable, not a good kick under pressure.

 

[Roosurgence]

Let’s just not pick anyone.

We all know they are going to be a massive disappointment, so let’s save the clubs resources and not bring in another list clogging shittruck.

Brady doesn’t know what a shiny toy is, but he sure knows how to pick a turd in shiny wrapping.

I prefer him over all of his backups. But currently undergoing a suspension. Which doesn’t really matter I guess for a side who won’t win a game.

 

[Roosurgence]

How did we overlook someone D’Ambrossio?

At least he can play at the level.

I reckon a lot of clubs still havent given the mid season draft enough thought as a list builder! when Mannagh goes undrafted last Mid season then picked up in the ND is just a head scratcher for me

We have had a monopoly on the first few picks and somehow have probably had the worst record of selecting someone that can actually turn into a AFL standard player.

When do you say, maybe we don’t have the right people making these decisions?

I agree! Brady list building is beyond a joke

 

[andana]

then who is afl standard?

I doubt any WAFL player is AFL standard.
As we need talls we would be looking at Scaife
or maybe Teakle or even Joshua Edwards as a project. Or possible backup for X. Get some VFL and maybe a few AFL games into them.
