Well with Simpson gone the club will be looking for a similar type player to replace him. RTB early days was planning for Simpson to play forward and Walters move into the midfield. Still could be a plan but need someone else other than Simpson. Question if this is now Crozier or could be this guy.

Gees, he really does look like another Balla the way he moves on the field based on that brief vision - very similar style.

A left foot Ballantyne. Oowee. (pick 72).

 

[calaisking]

The way he fended off that tackle at 50 seconds and cruised in for a goal had a lot of Ballas about it.

Seems like a good kid too

Get Jarrod Garlett with our first rounder instead.

 

[holy diver]

Freo' know how to handle/develop the Ballas model of player. Get him over 'ere...

Need to use pick 34 on him if we want him, as he won't last for our pick 54.

Then I don't think there is any chance he will be at Freo next year.
Our first three picks will be beauties and already identified by the club. Pick 54, IMO is reaching, where 72 would be an excellent pick up if we haven't already committed to a DFA.

Do you have some inside info? If you do can you send me a message with the three names. I promise to keep it to myself until after the draft. If you can't that's cool, I understand.

For me Lonie should go early/middle third round. That puts in between our second and third picks.

Another Ballard,Zach on the radar?

I have to disagree with this kid being taken ahead of Nathan Drummond if Nathan is available http://www.afl.com.au/video?guid=697227

Adam Saad could be the perfect rookiehttp://www.afl.com.au/video?guid=699093

Looked very much like Suban, with a little more tow. Beautiful kick when he has time on the ball, has a kick a bit like the fish pub, flat and long and well targeted. Does appear to get forced into the right side where he struggles, has to either wheel around or spot up a very short target with left or right. Will create a lot of turnovers at the top level with this unless he can develop that right a bit better.

I think/hope the club holds out and tries to reach for him with pick 54 or whatever we have, ala. Lachie Neale.
