[GrommoT]

Insame amount of talent at GC now.

How I hope they end up...

 

[BACCS]

I tend to agree

Zero chance, Giants wanted him badly

 

[Thunderstruck]

I had Pedlar at 19 so fairly happy with that

 

[Scorpus]

Pick 13 is Tom Powell

 

[jackster83]

Have we lost the plot with that swap? lose a points pick next year and move up a few spots this year which I thought we were going to use on Borlase?

Probably a handshake deal to not bid on each other's academy players.

 

[latinoheat]

He's an impressive lad, will be the mid that leads from the front, flies the flag, hard as any kid in the draft

Is he quick ?

 

[dogs105]

Pedlar had a ranking on the board of 50. Wow

Wow. they were way off

 

[mattymac]

Never heard of him. A summary please?

The shoulder injury last year might have impacted this, but he isn’t quite a one-touch player when gathering ground balls which is a very important trait to have as a midfielder. As much of a bull that he is, he needs to be able to turn every ground ball he wins into a clean gather to further maximise his biggest trait which is his ability to clear a path and attack the ball with intensity. If you don’t take the ball with you, it’s just not as effective. His injury concerns with a shoulder and knee are unfortunate and could be a key reason as to why he doesn’t get drafted, with clubs waiting to see if he can get a full season under his belt.

North banking the DT points with Phillips and Powell

 

[Redleg Crow]

"Other Clubs viewed him as as a late 20s or early 30s pick."

Twomey had GWS taking him at 24. Mind you he had Cox and Perkins going at 15 and 16!

 

[Danger in Texas]

Pick 13 is Tom Powell

Called it, thought North would like Powell

Freo will go with Chapman or Cook here

 

[thebirdman 24]

What do we know about Pedlar? I heard he is tough but what else?

[Murray2503]

North got 2 good players.

 

[arsene wenger1]

Yes! Another Mackay! Now I'm hard

The hardest kid in the draft....sounds exactly like Mackay

 

[Scorpus]

Did we see something from Pedlar outside his games that most people watched? Eg younger footy, school footy?

 

[morris086]

Pick 13 is Tom Powell

Probably not the right player for us at the moment, but he will be an absolute gun.

 

[BACCS]

I think we reaaaaaaally wanted Pedlar. We might see a few sliders here

Do we move up to grab Richmond's 1st for Stone?

Giants wanted him more, they will be devastated.

Powell to North as my contact predicted as well. Giants were looking for a trade with North too to get Pedlar, but North said they were taking Powell so don’t worry.

 

[Danger in Texas]

For all those saying we reached on Pedlar - he was a HUGE bolter these last couple of weeks. Was likely going to be a teens selection tonight either way

He's a good get, I can understand why we didn't do the Coll/GWS trade if the Giants wanted him

 

[FR0GGY]

Someone said Powell will go to the Roos at 13 if he didn’t go before

 

[King Elvis]

Probably a handshake deal to not bid on each other's academy players.

Hope so - us and Port should collude wherever possible.

 

[Redleg Crow]

 

[GreyCrow]

Is Pedlar a Nicks pick? ie hard bodied mid?

 

[BACCS]

Did we see something from Pedlar outside his games that most people watched? Eg younger footy, school footy?

My mate is an SA scout and has rated Pedlar for a while, couldn’t talk him up enough, there’s a reason 3 clubs wanted him for picks in the 10-20 range. Mock drafts were way off of his true rating amongst clubland.

 

[Scorpus]

So he's basically a powerful midfielder with acceleration and goal sense, but his injury prone and has questionable disposal

Pedlar that is

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Pedlar a Doedee like left field selection

Doesee is a gun so let's hope the club has this right as well
