If we could get Matt Crouch for basically nothing, would he be worth a punt

No.

Basically you'd be adding in a 28yr old to take the spot of someone younger we need to develop.
Have enough old bodies running around as it is.

 

[KERRPOW]

You might be the only person who hasn’t automatically delisted Nelson!

Thats cos he is off to geelong as an UFA i reckon

Nelson to Geelong to bring them down from the inside. Ultimate clubman.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

No.

Basically you'd be adding in a 28yr old to take the spot of someone younger we need to develop.
Have enough old bodies running hobbling around as it is.

Fixed

Havent read that about Tsatas at all.

He is fast, more outside, needs to improve kicking under pressure but is line breaking and can get a fair amount of ball.

Defensively not as hard as others. That is what Ive read.

If he was as you described he'd be the standout #1 pick.

I guess he is more outside, but he's had 2 games this year in which he won 18 and 15 contested possessions. In the 15 contested possession game he had 9 clearances too iirc.

Biggest concern imo, is his defensive transition running and low tackle numbers. He works really hard to get the ball, but could work a lot harder defensively.

 

[mattyc75]

I'd move him onto the Rookie list.

Yeah thats fine i just think if he plays midfield he'll show something

Mitch Szybkowski horrendously underrated in those power rankings, swap him with Ginbey. Similar contested players, but Szybkowski kicking is wayyyyyyyy better than Ginbeys.

Nope .

Isaac Keeler not even top 25 is a head scratcher. Ginbey at 10 feels like knee jerk recency bias.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

What’s happened to Broadbent? Gone from a top 10 lock to not even getting a mention in Twomey’s rankings.

 

[WCErevival]

Nelson to Geelong to bring them down from the inside. Ultimate clubman.

Can already picture Nelson's shit eating grin as he tries to rough up one our players next year.

Crouch is like Matt Priddis from Wish

It's a big no

 

[eagles rule]

Apparently Phillipou for Pick 2 (because he's young? And any poor performances are waved away by South Australia deliberately sabotaging him so their own clubs can get him for cheap ) and Meek from Freo because Melbourne won't need a ruckman after handing Jackson over.

A few of the Phantom drafts have Philipou Pick 5 -7 they obviously haven’t twigged on that SA teams are hiding him ..

People thinking Witherden and Langdon are going to be delisted are engaging in wishful thinking. Both contracted, both offer solid depth. I also think Witherden will come good.

Interesting that he didn’t have either of Hayes or Keeler in his top 20.
Keeler I sort of get …… but Hayes ….. not so sure about that, having a small forward and a couple of attacking half back flankers ahead of one of the best KPP in this cohort.

Witherden’s out of contract.

 

[VicBased]

Can already picture Nelson's s**t eating grin as he tries to rough up one our players next year.

That's assuming he will get a game???

 

[Bender_]

Imagine Nelson going to tackle Ginnivan and slipping over just before making contact then the universe folds in on itself.

Shin splints.

The lad was trying to play through them but to his own detriment.

 

[eagles rule]

Witherden’s out of contract.

Be interesting to see if Witherden looks for a trade back to Melb ..

Well we seem to love a player who’s injured through his draft year…

I don't think he's ever been in a position to be utilised by the club correctly. He's a rebounding loose checking defender - much like a lower level Jetta - not a lock down defender. Unfortunately he's played in a team's defence that has been pounded upfield due to lack of midfield pressure and personnel and his poor defensive capabilities have been exposed. I think there's a chance we can get more from him if surrounded by the right players and feel bad for the bloke coz of it.

I just don't think witherden is a good enough kick to carry his defensive liabilities.

Jetta wasn't that good a defender but he did have pace to keep up on a smaller opponent which is enough some times for that forward not to be an option .

Jetta was also an exceptional field kick .

Witho is an easy Delist for me . There was a reason Brisbane let him go and paid a lot of his salary .

Read about his contested side in Davo's u 18 draft thread.

Slides to our last pick it’s worth it
