This is my point exactly .....and very few have that "feel"

That's not your point at all. Your point was recruiters weren't always professional and used Boekhurst as an example.

There is a huge difference between professional and having a good feel for if a footballer would make it. You can be the most professional recruiter in the world, watch 2-300 games and still heck up horribly with a Boekhurst pick if you really like what you see. It's the same with every sport really, there is nothing exact with drafting.

Getting drafted off ‘one game ‘ is a stretch WW

Bonar has showed plenty pre his 2 recons , ditto cockatoo

Oliver comes to mind but he dominated the second half of the tac cup season , it was never one or 2 games

Doedee is another but it still was a body of work ( quoted as being the toughest opponent for a forward in tac cup ) which also then included character , his skill and competitiveness on a basketball court as extras and upside from limited football exposure

Never one game for any others guys , got any others ?

Braydon Sier?
Sean Rusling?
Andrew Mackie?
Christian Howard?

 

[Sanders]

The 10 goals from Steele Sidebottom in the U18 GF .....probably boosted his draft rankings 10 spots .....that shouldn't have happened, if we believe the "body of work" theory

You’ve confused shouldn’t have happened with did not happen. There is exactly zero evidence that happened

Oliver, who i picked as the Crows choice that year .....came from a late first round to #3 in the space of 6 weeks ..........there goes that "body of work" theory, yet again

There is exactly zero evidence that is true. Absolutely none.

 

[Sanders]

Absolutely

It’s an incredibly stupid call to say that a missed call must be unprofessional conduct by virtue of the fact that it missed

Yes, i agree, probably professional wasn't the right description .....maybe it was in "some" clubs cases though? .......what i question still is clubs "rating" of players, you can call it feel:

1. Rating current output as a junior, and projecting whether the output can be transferred to the AFL pressure

2. The apparent emphasis on a small window of form to assess a player ..sometimes just 3 months, sometimes a month of form

3. The downgrading of players with injuries (Lever)

4. The rating of player attributes ....in Brockhursts case, the clubs need for speed, overrode other weaknesses in his game.........which were overlooked?

He definitely has a high footy IQ, can do the flashy but also does the hard things as well. He’s quite a package.

Everyone was so worried about his disposal count, but he just has an influence in so many areas of the game. You could even see it in his 2017 highlights package. He didn't waste the ball when he had it, takes a strong grab and is a genuine marking target for a smaller bloke, and tackles like a man possessed.

Going into this year I saw him very much in the 'plays like' Toby McClean basket with his marking and tackling for a smaller guy, but am liking the Yeo suggestions that have been thrown up this year.

Has elite midfielder written all over him once he fills out.

Braydon Sier?
Sean Rusling?
Andrew Mackie?
Christian Howard?

Yep exactly .... quite obscure and Mackie easily the best of those

Not the norm but does happen

 

[Ozzie]

Slided

Don't you and Grotto mean he SLID to #13.
Bloody yank crap! I wish the septics would speak and write proper English.

Braydon Sier is looking pretty good

 

[Iva Bigun]

Caro talks a fair bit of s**t to be fair

Doing her a great disservice there she talks a mammoth amount of s**t

Any chance we could get someone to change that to Victor Harbor perhaps?

In fairness most of our players have been on holidays for the past 7 years

[Barneythecrab]

Gonna be a massive kick in the dick if port get a pick 10 for Polec and a pick 6 for wingard. Errrrrr

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Port won't trade Wingard .....if they do, they'll be admitting their raid, bringing in all those hacks last year, was a HUGE mistake

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Braydon Sier is looking pretty good

Yep like him

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Doing her a great disservice there she talks a mammoth amount of s**t

I've always respected Caro's articles and relative accuracy ......but since she's retired from the Age, her articles have been far more tabloid .....and she appears to have been told, or fears she has to be far more controversial

She also seems to have a huge chip on her shoulder, lashing out at anyone & everyone ......something's not right with her

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Yep like him

Who?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Who?

Sier, in general . Not as a target

I had respect , it’s starting to dwindle

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I had respect , it’s starting to dwindle

Yeah, can't quite put my finger on why her change in style ........but it's not flattering her

Seems to have a "sexist" chip on her shoulder

To be fair to her she has copped a lot in her career , guys like Eddie McGuire are big bullies when they turn on you . Ask Adam Goodes

Here's your answer.

She became aligned with CrocMedia after leaving Fairfax didn't she? Would explain a lot.

Edit: beaten by Bicks

Yep... getting rid of Polec is bad enough... if they get rid of Wingard too it’s gonna be hilarious the levels of utter shitness they will reach over the next few years.

I’m actually hoping they are stupid enough to do it..
