I'd be happy with Hartlett, Swift, Ziebell, or Sidebottom, I don't mind which one, as long as it is a GENUINE MIDFIELDER not a POSSIBLE MIDFIELDER!

I agree. However, if we think that he (Yarran) can develop into a genuine midfielder then he would be worth a punt. This talk of off-field issues is just crap and it detracts from the conversation at hand.
 
Im a fan of Yarrans, I think he could become a star with a move into the midfield after he develops a better tank. Quick question first, does anyone have his Draft Camp results? Main ones I am looking for would be his 20m sprint time, vertical leap, agility test and beep test.

Why? So you can base your whole opinion about him on those results?

We do not have the list to be taking PUNTS, safe picks should be the way to go

When did I ever say that?:rolleyes: According to your logic the Draft Camp is useless? I wanted to know those things because they are supposed to be his biggest assets and demerits. Unlike you I actually have an idea of what im talking about when it comes to the draft as I have seen most of the players in consideration for pick 5 to 23 play.

You didn't. Just asking a question. No need to get shirty.

Fine, but no Yarran at the same time. I want a elite midfielder with pick 5, not a small forward. I am firmly on Hartlett at pick 5 as he is what we need. Would not mind Ziebell but I think Hartlett suits our needs more, a bit quicker as well.

You posted that you want Hartlett then in the post directly underneath it you do it again.

Give it a rest FFS, you've been told often enough now....
 
ant555, I tore mazenod a new a**hole for 6 years of school footy and for the last 5 years in the ammos, I wonder if essendon might consider me with their first round draft selection. I reckon there could be a slight increase in standard from the Mazenod school boys footy program to the AFL.

Please take him at no5, I want the choice of hartlett, hurley, zeibell or sidebottom at pick 6.

Good one hero. There is probably a difference between school boys foot and WAFL seniors or under 18 champs that Yarren has been playing as wellCome back when you have something worthwhile adding to the discussion!

Why are you saying Yarran is just a small forward ? Yes he has been playing there in the WAFL against the big boys but the kid has played midfield.
During the Champs he played forward, half back, wing and had a couple of raotations through the middle. If you bothered to read the article you would have known he played midfield during his school footy.
See you have done another flip flop :) How many times are you going to change your choice ?

Yet, as you and many others have said, there is a big difference between playing in the midfield in the WAFL or Under 18 Championships and the AFL. Obviously we do not know yet whether any of this years draftees will definitely make it as elite mids in the AFL. Yet, some have shown more than others including during the draft camp (e.g. beep test and 3km run). Has Yarran shown enough to suggest that he could develop into an AFL midfielder? I am not saying that Sidebotom will make it as an AFL mid, but he has shown that he has the required engine (at DC). I am not suggesting that I know anywhere near as much as you ant, but was just curious as to whether you think Yarran could make it as an elite AFL midfielder?

He has the skills. It is yet to be seen if he could make it as a full time Midifielder. He has played off half back where he showed he was able to play a bit defensively. The question mark would be will he be able to play continually through the midfield.
He ranks 5th on my list of prefered midfielders but that is not to say i have him in the wrong spot.
My original point was that people who have no idea are continually saying he is a small forward simply becasue that is where he is playing in the WAFL.
It is also a fact that he has shown some outstanding form in the midfield at lower levels. Yes it is a step up but you do not lose the skills or ability to read the play or your vision.
He is not my prefered choice at 5 but he is a quality prospect who has more going for him than a lot of others in the draft.
 
I've got this feeling that Yarran will divide supporters opinion, especially if he is drafted in the top 10.

He had a massive workload this year and was playing slightly injured and against men. I keep getting this feeling that if he was not an indigenous player, then many such terms as lazy would not be mentioned nearly as much.

He may not suit the Bombers, I have Hartlett going to you guys, but he has just as much chance to succeed as any other top 10 pick.

What about his dad being in jail as a character reference?
Doesn't mean his a bad kid, but im sure he won't score any brownie points for it. Krakour just went to jail under the father/son rule.
I also don't think ants example of a fluke soccer pass is enough to get this kid drafted in the top 10.
