Yeah. Oakleigh Chargers. Don't know much about him though.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Hunter Holmes would be great to get. Wonder where he'll sit come end of the year.

If we want another Hardeman type, who can play a role across half back, then this kid should be on our radar. Plays as an undersized key defender, but at 191cm he is going to be a playing on third tall types at AFL level. Has sticky hands, some run/carry in his games and is a fantastic one on one defender. Like Hardeman he has that perfect blend between dour defensive application, but also the ability to provide drive off half back. Modern day size, with some decent athletic traits.

Along with Schubert, Dovaston, Finn Davis and few others he'd be one of my favorites in this draft pool.

Hardeman is great but it'd be good to have another Josh Weddle type in case Goatboy doesn't make it.

I reckon its great how you and a a couple others keep us informed on the draft I would imagine you would all put in a fair bit of work keeping tabs on everyone. Great job again guys.

Yep. His intercept marking and athleticism would interest us. Need to see a bit more of his ball use/decision making.
I reckon any of wing/mid/hbf types like Jacob Farrow, Matthew LaRey, Hunter Holmes and Harley Barker would be on the radar and a key forward like Ah-Mu or Heatherton.
Maybe they plan on looking at Jasper Hay as a kpd with a later pick given he spent some time with us, didn't he?

Taylor is probably a bit more athletic than Hards. But Hards is no scrub athletically either. We haven’t seen much of his leap/closing speed at AFL level but it’s there.

As much as I’d love a Weddle type, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. The kid is a big time outlier. Hopefully Goater will get close to that sort of impact if he can get an extended run at it.

Appreciate it

Pleasure mate I and many others appreciate all your hard work.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Just on Finn Davis, here are some highlights from a previous game. Fair few nothing touches, but there are some snippets of excellent kicking execution and run from half back. Long striding players like him often transition well to the AFL imo.

Haven't seen much of him, but looks good. Pick 39 or whatever it becomes would be nice to pick up someone like him.

I’m 100% giving a contract to Trembath and Banch next year. Both have stepped into our VFL side and had an impact.

Trembath’s marking and positioning as a defender is stupidly good for a 20 year old.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Ah-Mu looking very strong for Victoria Country so far. 3 marks and a goal. Looks a physical monster compared to the SA defenders.
