It’s a tough pick at that point, all the good talls are taken. I went for Duursma because of the type of midfielder he is, I think he would complement the list pretty well. Taylor may be too close to Stephenson. Rowbottom might be another to look at.
If we were to get Jack Bytel with our 1st I'd be hoping we take Tom Berry with our 2nd, reckon Lewis and Bytel are too similar in game style, more speed and acceleration from the contest than Tom Lewis and more potent up forward....and that's not a knock on Lewis who I also rate.
Really like Tom Berry at GCS , since his bro already playing for Brisbane he won't feel homesick .
He'd feel even less homesick at the Lions.
Horsham lad, Adelaide commonly known as West Horsham, and 1,350 kilometres closer than Brisbane or the Gold Coast to Horsham.
I had Foot going to tigers kick in the top 20 a couple of weeks ago, could easily be top 25
If Freo keeps falling to pick 4 and 5, do you have taking Hill or you just taking the piss
You clearly haven’t been following the thread, as you’d know it’s jyst a bit of fun and in no way serious.If Freo keeps falling to pick 4 and 5, do you have taking Hill or you just taking the piss
I think you may have misunderstood.
Based on the trials, I get the feeling Ash and Duursma may swap spots. Possibly BKing and Jeka too. Perhaps they'll start at one end and swap to the other if it isn't working.
Obviously Ben King back if they are struggling in the middle but with the depth that Metro has in its midfield it may not be an issue for them.
Going to be some interesting match ups at Rams Arena tomorrow on paper, Curtis Taylor and Jack Bytel vs the returning Tom Berry and Charlie Wilson vs Lachlan Sholl for starters.
Not saying they're not good enough but don't think metro will play 6 bottom agers in the first game. Even though every side wants to win, these are still essentially showcase games for this years draft. Metro are traditionally pretty good at adhering to the wishes of the recruiters. On selection, I can't see Mackenzie being overlooked for a HB position. That being said, I've been wrong plenty of times before.
Buyer beware if you're an interstate club...
Could easily swap players like Williams for McKenzie and Mahony for Evans or Kennedy for Jeka. I just put those players against each other and see the bottom age players as the better prospects. If any bottom agers will play a majority it will be Anderson and Rowell who like Walsh last year can already hang with and beat most top age players.
