two types to keep an eye out for please this season;

(1) big key forward, even potentially early

(2) big bodied inside midfielder

Id be looking mature options for the key fwd. Wright has been a godsend vs. waiting for jones/baldwin to develop.

I don't see either as a #1 key forward. Possible pseudo options, ala Tim Membrey, Jack Gunston, Charlie Curnow but not a full time #1 option.

Tbh, im not confident we develop either into a key fwd. Think jones become #3 and baldwin depth or a hbf option (a la laverde).

And Voss looking to be more Cam Zuurhar than Darcy Fogarty

Someone like hogan would be nice.

Been keen on fogarty but thats not happening either.

oh, my post was regarding player comparison that I see Voss as tracking to become (stylistically)

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Archer Reid:

3 goals, 17 disposals and 9 marks.

remains my preference this far out.
I think we may find ourselves finishing outside Duursma range. I like the idea of a key forward who is dominant.
Reid @ CHB, Reid @ CHF could be fun. Or even both in the key forward posts

I feel we are in a good position to take the best player available. I am just hoping for a variety of high upside options to be available at our pick. So I am happy when I see new standout performances such as Darcy Wilson with 29 and 3.



Reid is listed at 203 already BTW.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Is Logan Morris worth a shout for Essendon or does that make Essendon too forward heavy?

i still think there are questions on our key forward stocks.

Stringer -> Voss or Jones
Langford -> the other one
These are two changes still a few years away as well

Wright is our FF

CHF is Weid but could just as easily not be Weid. I've watched him a lot at Melbourne. One good showing then injured/out is not an outlier for him.
I'd love an elite young KPF to come in now. I feel Scott has sorted the midfield and it's depth out.

That Reid is also big enough to ruck is positive as well. 2 KPF's who can support Draper (and Draper can get forward) is handy

Not quite tall enough, probably a mid round pick.

I personally wonder if we should be moving to a smaller forward line.

Personally I find appeal in having Wright as the #1 and Voss/Jones as a hardworking secondary target. That would leave Perkins or Langford as the third tall which I think would be fine.

All that said, I would love to have Archer Reid. If you have a chance, watch the second half of the Gippsland and Murray game on AFL on demand. He looks like a future star.

I havent caught any of highlights this year yet. Im tracking in readiness for disappointment on draft day

 

[TheGrizz]

hey eDPS any Jai Culley/Massimo D'Ambrosio types separating themselves as a 19yo at the moment or too early to tell?

It’s a bit early but dynamic Gippsland forward Ryan Maric looks very likely.

Particularly after we make the prelim

 

[Zach Package]

Haven’t been able to get the stream to work but looks like a quiet day for Harley Reid playing for Carlton VFL.

13 disposals 2 tackles. Doesn’t necessarily mean anything though.

 

[ant555]

Given we are no chance of getting Harley I am not watching him

From a Carlton player's mum who was at the game, they (Carlton) were told to 'protect' him so not expose him prominently
