A quieter outing .... must say Rory Wright goes ok for Sandy .... has a great left foot

Rory Wright - from the Noober files

A prolific and damaging game from Rory Wright. He played mostly midfield in the first half and displayed a more mature and competitive contested game than we've seen in the past, cracking in for repeat efforts and using some quick and slick hands in congestion. In the second half he played more high half forward and relished the extra space, using his absolute weapon of a left boot to slice open the opposition.

Agreed but perhaps a bit too similar to Garcia for my liking especially if our pick remains in the top 6

Saints are looking at a young bloke that's kicked a few goals in the Outer East.

If we end up with pick 5/6/7 (excluding academy picks), who is everyone leaning towards? A mid would be ideal, but we probably need another tall forward to develop as well. But obviously need to take best available talent here. The top handful of picks may look like this

1-eagles: duursma
2-eagles: sharp
3-tigers: duff-tytler
4-tigers: Lindsay

If we had the next pick we could have a choice between:

Mids: Greeves, Rodriguez, grlj, barker, Le-ray

Tall forwards: ludowyke, Schubert, marsh

Mid/forward: hibbins-hargraves

Small forward: dovaston

Grlj is my pick

Wouldn't mind Greeves but he doesnt address our burst speed issues

Rodriguez is falling down my board - hasn't really met expectations in Champs

one of these names i'm guessing. De Bono maybe?

It’s that time of the year where these all seem like utter gibberish names

Rory Wright - from the Noober files

He racks up stats but I find him really uninspiring. He looks a vanilla mid. To me his ceiling is probably Jack Steele. That said I am always harsh on those types. Didn't rate Cerra or Walsh in their draft years because of the vanilla factor.

 

[gringo2011]

Agreed but perhaps a bit too similar to Garcia for my liking especially if our pick remains in the top 6

I'd say he's more Steele than Hugo. Garcia has a bit of toe and lateral movement to set him apart.

Love Grlj and FredRod. Otherwise if we think King is done Ludowyke looks the goods. Dovaston if we think Collard is a wingman long term. He looks like an absolute pest.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

No one sees a bit of Gulden in Wright with that left foot?

Wright is currently listed as 183cm

This place is going to go in to full meltdown when we pick Lindsay with our first pick

 

[TheJackal]

Feeling really uninspired by this year's crop so far. I'd prefer to throw huge dollars at someone like Wardlaw for pick 5. Hell even Butters once Nas signs. Give Port 2 firsts, get a second back for Jevan and play finals in 2026.

Love Wardlaw but we’d be throwing away a pick, feel like he’ll never get a good run at it unfortunately.

if we are picking for needs then Dovaston looks like a solid choice
