I think there’s a decent possibility we trade our north pick into next year if we think we can get a good low pick again and if they think it’s a better draft …. People might not like that but it’s a possibility
Blair likes to trade out of shit drafts and into good ones. A top 5 pick though is different though given the team you trade it to could fly up the ladder.
 
Swadling yes, and more Grlj tomorrow

no thanks I’d rather having a 2 year stretch of getting Sharp, Cochrane and Grlj

I can’t wait for the Richo dislike to pop up 😂
Don’t want Sharp. No pace, ordinary kick and dominated Jnr football in an average comp because he was a man child. Much better prospects now. Champs will reveal the best when the cream rises.

Sharp is an elite prospect. His kicking is fine. He has good speed for a kid his size. Patrick Cripps lacked pace in his draft year, look how that turned out.

I feel he’s a in and under type who will be a contested inside player to feed Lalor + Grlj etc

I mean he was the highest rated player in the SANFL men’s finals as a 17yr old so that body holds up well against men

Played for SA in the champs as a bottom ager last year and was one of their best.

I do agree that he lacks athletic traits, as well as positional flexibility, which takes a bit of the shine off him as a prospect.

Could translate into a Matt Rowell/ Tom Libratore sort of in-and-under mid; which would be handy.
 
God help us if Nank goes down, Ryan is definitely not AFL standard .
There’s a guy playing for Coburg - Cooper Keogh , who competes like Nank, is a great athlete with a massive tank. He’s got Samson and our cat B boys covered by a long way.

Re CDT, I’m looking forward to watching him at the Nationals and seeing how he performs at the combine. I hope he goes head to head with the other state’s best ruckman. You want to see more than just a very good ground level player.
Essendon will pick up keogh in msd

Spot on, he's a gun at what he does, where that fits in the pecking is anyone's guess but he's definitely not just performing because he's bigger than kids his age.

These were his Champs stats as a bottom ager against a stacked draft pool.

vs Allies 25d, 5m, 7t & 9cl (BOG)
vs VC 17d, 3m, 3t & 8cl
vs WA 15d, 0m, 5t & 3cl
vs VM 14d, 4m, 7t, 6cl & 1 goal (only played 2.5 quarters of this before going off injured when they were down single digits, went on to lose by 52 lol)

Also had 19 & 4m against the SA under 20 team as a 16 year old.

His worst performance above was against WA who were the weakest oppo of that group. He had better stats than Sid Draper that day and was just a disaster of a day for the team.

Interesting to see where he goes, he's trying to fix the positional flexibility.

Athletically I think he's a lot better than he's given credit for, he just runs weird as he barely lifts his feet when getting from contest to contest around the ground.

If his one wood of getting the hard ball is all he does but he does it really really well, then he doesn't need flexibility. Not commenting on whether we draft him or not as I have no idea, but the Libba comparison would be more than fine.
 
Sharp is as close to a Rowell clone as it gets. The kind of player you want around the ball and in the trenches.

He isnt a TT or Hops type inside mid who arent super agressive and like to hurt oppos, Sharp is an animal.
 
Also to add from watching the footage he is elite at feeding the ball to the outside users.

Like others have said Libba is one of the best at it.

I’m all for Sharp and there’s a certain need for him in our side for the next 10 years.

Prior to cooking himself off field, Clayton Oliver was a master at the contested ball and is an ok kick. He made Petracca a far better player and was constantly up there on brownlow night.
As a side we always struggled nullifying him.
If Sharp can be similar and feed it out to Smillie, Lalor and Hotton I’ll be very happy.

I haven’t been able to find anything relating to testing Sharp has done. He doesn’t look quick but he’s certainly not slow. And his endurance appears to be very good, every write up you read notes his two-way application at stoppages, willingness to tackle and one percenters .

His pace is what you would expect for a genuine gun inside mid IMO.

I also dont think he's as one positional as others suggest, could easily rest inside 50, give you a contest and tackle like a beast.

I found this from preseason 2023, which is an exceptional agility time. That being said he didn’t make top 10 this year
