I hope it was true that Sheezel was a flight risk because if he wasn’t…….

Yeah I think there was enough evidence at draft time that he wanted to stay in Melbourne but he has been good.

What was the evidence though? Everyone on here was just saying he’s Jewish so he’d want to stay in Melbourne lol

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Sheezel looking the goods. I'm happy with Ginbey & Hewett tho. Too early to tell if we f**ked up not taking a punt.

TerryFilk
There was an interview with GWS list manager where he says that clubs are aware that some Melbourne boys have made it clear they don’t want to go interstate. That was post them trading up to pick one from pick 3.
General consensus was Wardlaw Sheezle and Tsatas was who he was talking about.

Apart from Jackson at Fremantle, I can’t think of another young ruck drafted from 2019 or later, that has played.

And there have been some pretty hyped young rucks who were drafted in mid season drafts, who haven’t even got a look in yet.

We have two on our list who were drafted in that period, Henry Smith (2020 draft) and Kalin Lane (2021 mid season draft), and neither look like being close to AFL ready yet. But no one our board is concerned with their development so far.

We even went and traded in a mature ruck for depth at the end of 2021.

The fact that Jammo (btw he’s related to a Lions poster on our board) is playing at AFL level, is squarely on your list manager ****ing up and not getting in a mature back up to NicNat.

We've had a few mature agers but they didn't work out.

Went for that bloke from Freo last year but he opted for Hawthorn.

Also tried to move a few from other clubs but it didn't work out.

Hickey leaving for Sydney left a hole.

They've definitely tried, just haven't been successful in landing/keeping a mature-ager.

Jamieson was undrafted so compare the 2018 draft.
B. Williams is going along okay for us.
Ryan is kicking bags for Richmonds VFL and goes pretty well in the ruck also.
Bryan (2019) has played and even won Essendons VFL B&F.
Moyle (2020) dominated last year after being a late pickup.

Jamieson is so bad we would rather play Sheed in the Ruck

Who is the genius that re signed him for 2 more years this week? Seriously WTF?

 

[Micki Free]

Why couldnt Xavier O’Neill and Bailey Williams have been flight risks

 

[TerryFilk]

I know it’s going to take time, but it kind of hurt to see how invisible Chesser was all game

Only 5 touches and I genuinely forgot he was playing at times

 

[swingdog]

Looking forward to the draft already.

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

Sorry its been a while.

Who do we want to fail this season to help improve our draft hand? And who are the likely sellers of their R1 picks?

I don't have any confidence we doing anything this year, easily a bottom 4 team. We need quality and challenging which players should around for the next 3 years.

Port as we hold their second and third picks

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Sheezel was class today and I liked that Clarko pushed him up the ground. He's so composed with ball in hand.
But I'd still rather Ginbey and Hewitt, Ginbey was pretty damn good himself today.
Hewitt I think will take a year or two to build up his fitness snd then will be a gun.

 

[Rowan18]

I hope it was true that Sheezel was a flight risk because if he wasn’t…….

It was amazed he had 32 touches because he seemed pretty innocuous to me. Early days, but I predict Sheezle will be a good player and so will Ginbey and Hewett. I'd rather have two good players than one.

 

[DanWCE]

Hey Google, show me Harley Reid highlights

 

[amazingjoshy]

Port got JHF and Rioli (their 2 best today)

We got Ginbey and Hewett

North got Sheezel

Win-win-win so far I'd say

 

[Wild Kelly]

Anyone on here who thinks English is a crab should be watching ch7 now. We need to have a crack at him big time when he becomes available.

What do you mean do we want to fail? Regardless of what we want the year is going to be a failure whether we want to or not.

Eh I'll go against the grain a bit, wasn't as impressed with sheeze as a lot on here. A lot of his disposals and metres gained were kick ins and most of his possessions were uncontested. He can read the ball well and will be a massive collector but wasn't as impressed by his contested game especially his disposal efficiency when under pressure. Sure he's a first year and has a lot of development to go, but he's nowhere near as ready made as a Sam Walsh

I mean yeah, but he’s also not a half back, so for him to slot back in there and be incredibly impactful from the opening bounce is very impressive.

That's his game. Im not sure why everyone just thinks he's a gun. Is an upgrade on Petruccelle who can play wing.

He's the real deal. Id prefer a more outside role actually as a young un. Look at Rowell & Rachele, good players but not mature enough yet to shake off seasoned players.

 

[Avalor]

Hardly so. Jamieson had been subbed off for Petrucelle, and Williams was off having a concussion test - there was no ruckman available, still
Sheed was a strange choice.
