Barring Daicos not only does he look the premier run, carry and spread midfielder of this draft, but the draft before that and the draft before that too.

Sometimes I’m not convinced anyone actually watches us play.

Yep he's going to be elite.

But we shouldn't pick him because Shiel is 30 next season and Parish is a RFA we have players just like him he'll play with for 1-3 seasons a long time.

I'll laugh if he slides to Geelong's pick and they snap him up straight away over "selwood 2.0" Also a premptive go * yourselves to the gold coast list management team if that happens.

Who else has a bad feeling that we are going to pass on Pou, and that his going to make us live to regret it ?

I'll back whichever guy we pick. Phillipou might be a jet but Tsatas has been consistently top 5 all year. There's a reason for that.

Already happened when we went McGrath over McCluggage. Already used to it

Wouldnt tsatas be mccluggage in this scenario

I remember the consensus was most fans wanted McCluggage and he was deemed more suitable to our midfield at the time.

More that mccluggage was consensus better player/pick

Overlooking tsatas would be like the mccluggage scenario tbh

 

[Hazardinho]

I had a dream, that we select Phillipou at 4, Hewett fell to our pick 22, A.Davey gets bided on after pick 30, Munkara gets to us after pick 40, J.Davey gets to us in the rookie draft. 2023 draft, Parish leaves and gets us first round compensation. We select Harley Reid and Watson. 2024 we repeat history with another baby bombers flag triumph . Then I wake up.

I remember when most fans wanted Dayle Garlett

Tbf, I’d doubt whoever we select goes outside the top 10 when it’s all said and done with this draft class. The McGrath-McCluggage scenario worked out horribly, McGrath might not even be top 20 (maybe he is) but Mccluggage has justified where he was selected.

McGrath is still easily top 20 of that draft. Might not be top 20? Get a grip. Only guys I can see that are definitely ahead are Taranto, Club, Berry, Bolton, Darcy and Ridley. You could make arguments for Simpkin, English, Cox and Ryan but he's better than the rest. He's still probably top 10 as I have him ahead of all four of those but that's hyperbole at its worst.

 

[ant555]

Tsatas actually averages more marks per game this year than Phillipou, and without having watched every game it’s likely to be based purely on workrate and spread, something that our midfield group absolutely ****ing stinks at as well.

He fills a different need to Phillipou in a different way. You pair him with an inside player in the second round and it’s absolutely happy days.

Barring Daicos not only does he look the premier run, carry and spread midfielder of this draft, but the draft before that and the draft before that too.

Sometimes I’m not convinced anyone actually watches us play.

Sometimes I am convinced people actually watch but need glasses to see.

 

[Keystone agony]

Dees offering 3 first rounders to us for 4 and 22 now

He has not played so people have not had exposure to his flaws ?

A dominant balanced midfielder who is a fantastic kick.

Tom Stewart goes alright.

Tom Stewart goes alright.

Right, keep forgetting he wasn't a rookie elevation

Mcgrath has definitely justified where he was picked. He has just been messed around with his development the last couple years, he was on track to go close to winning the bnf in 2020 before he hurt his ankle. Won the rising star and made 4 straight under 22 teams.

Actually he is not a great kick. He is an okay kick.
Is not a balanced midfielder either as he does not have a physical game. Does not defend. Does not tackle.
Have watched him at every chance I have had including live games as he was rated top 5 at the start of the year.
What he does do well is read the ball of the hand and gets going early and he has good speed.
His last game against Country he had one of the worst work rates I have seen and his physical presence was Cutler level.

I get that you're not a fan. However I back guys like eDPS, PMBangers, Cal Twomey and many others in their assessment about him.

I'm a Tsatas fan and it would pain me to see him dominate for the piss and poo if we passed on him. I'll back RFK in, whichever of Tsatas or Phillipou he picks.

Truly a crime punishable by death

 

[ant555]

Couldn't care less about that.
The kid is an offensive jet. No doubt about it but he has some boxes he does not tick .
If we draft him we should get a good player and I have no issues but I until I see him step up physically I will have doubts.
