In this thread, ploz provide sauces for anything you claim as fact. It can be specific such as an article link or Neale's sisters cousins hairdresser or vague such as "own sauces" but ploz avoid blanket statements with no reference point, it makes people antsy.

Do you know whether Goater play forward?

No clue sorry. All his appearances for vic metro this year have been out of the midfield.

Under the new NGA bidding rules Walker and Western could have cost fifth and sixth round picks.

I know but if they were picked at 60ish and we had a pick at 42 then we can use 42 before we use a 5th or 6th round on them

 

[freo_leo29]

If we get a bid we can match it with a round 20 pick for all we care. It amounts to the same thing as having pick #42 and matching with that.

We should be trading out that pick before the draft

Yeah but was just saying if a bid comes in before the Carlton F3 then we never lost anything

I’m not sure that’s how it works.

Next year, if our NGA’s are selected 40-50, the future 3rd was worthless anyway. But it’s never truly worthless, because you can package it to move up the draft or trade it for a player. We need to acquire a future 2nd somehow. I think shuffling 19 and 61 (which will be about 53) by the end of round 1, is how we get a future 2nd.

Yep. Excellent trading. Lost Cerra. Gained Clark and Brodie, and 'Fremantle head into the 2021 NAB AFL Draft with a strong hand of 6, 8, 19, 61 and 69 after starting the trade period holding picks 8 and 27.'

Clark a Freo Docker!

Hard running midfielder Jordan Clark is officially a Fremantle Docker

As far as highlights packages go this blokes has got to be one of the best! Does some wild stuff. Hope he can build some consistency

Yeah we could trade it, that is true but still if we get a bid between those 2 picks next year I'm claiming it as we were never guaranteed to trade up anyway, there will be a whole host of teams trying to trade up so it may not have been possible

Would love to see us take the free swing at brander.

Would love to see us take the free swing at brander.

I’m definitely keen on putting him on the rookie list. There’s obvious talent there and I’d give him a better chance of succeeding then any rookie pick, plus, Graham can give us the inside scoop on any issues

JVR kicked 2 more WAFL League goals than Brander did this year in the same number of games.

I think I'd rather roll the dice on a youngster.

Why not both? There's no such thing as too many key forwards on your list.

Except Brander has shown nothing to suggest he is a key forward since being drafted. I rewatched his pre-draft video the other day and it became clear to me why he hasn't made it.

Why not both? Not as if we've got a lot of depth in that dept. Rookie listing him would be fine, JVR should be drafted early-ish.

I think it's all academic anyway. A few Vic clubs keen too.

 

[trentjac]

Darcy Fort was a nice pickup

What did you see?

Was he being played forward for those games?

 

[MadMundy]

Was he being played forward for those games?

I imagine not so, seems he was being played on the wing for the last year or so wasn't he?

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Yes, WCE have been trying to turn him into a winger for a couple of years now.

Maybe he will make it as a KPF if he is given the chance the focus in on that role for a while.

On the other hand, Allen joined WCE in the same pre-season and scooted straight past him in their preference for a tall forward and has always been preferred to Brander in any kind of tall utility role.

He’s well versed in our forward structure already then

Thus a public forum. I think he is overrated.

He is fast, can't defend and has sh*t skills. Would love to be wrong.

Why does he have sh*t skills? Whats the basis for that?

Lets see your skills. What do you bring to the table?

 

[Purple Jesus]

Trade radio talked about his shonky ball drop. Matt Lloyd said it. If it's true, hopefully it can be rectified.

Dude can roost it. Those long goals were nuts. Happy with that shonky ball drop.

Lloyd can chuck some grass up.

 

[wayToGo_]

What did you see?

A lack of variety. Most of it is him taking a chest mark out on a lead. Or out marking a defender much shorter than him. Even when it was contested it was more damning on the defenders being way out of position and him launching effectively uncontested to drag it in. No defensive highlights. No body work. No real general play goals other than one in the goal square he almost stuffed. No tight angle shots. No goals from outside 50.

It was tidy but sometimes you learn most when it isn't tidy. And maybe that did exist and just wasn't in the highlights. But I'm pretty sure normally it is because that stuff is more interesting than just simple chest marks.

I'm conveniently assessing retrospectively so take it with a pinch of salt. But I wouldn't be jumping to sign him up personally.

Well, if it was said on trade radio my first inclination is to think the opposite.

Those arse clowns have done nothing but embarrass themselves for a week and a half.

(Although Lloyd is one of the few Trade Radio "analysts" worth listening too. If he says there is a technical problem, i guess there is.)

As a junior, Clark was always considered to be quite skillfull.

Jayme Graham will give us the intel whether he is good enough I imagine
