Agreed, I think you look at him as a long term replacement for Eddie, at his size and pace I doubt he'll be able to push into the midfield permanently, but could be a very dangerous forward with the right instruction.

Wonder if the club see him as another Wigg and feel we may be too small moving forward. He is very clean but if we are serious about finals big bodied midfielders are key. They dont have to be quick just clean and effective.
Caleb Daniels was lauded all season, but didnt have the same effectiveness in the finals and was almist invisible in the firat half of the GF when the heat was on.

Sheehan said he went top 10 in all skills tests.
Caleb Daniel was just about BOG against the Eagles in their first final. He was good across other games. He's also a second year player.
I have a feeling the reason Jarman supposedly hasn't decided yet is the same reason Danger hadn't, in other words he's picked Hawthorn but doesn't want the decision to be known until he's got one foot already out of the state.
I want to make it clear that I'm not having a go at him, it's his choice and he's under no obligation to join us, but I can understand that he might be thinking there's greater opportunities for forging an AFL career at a club with an ageing list where more vacancies may emerge. So it's only natural that he may want to avoid the scrutiny until as late as possible.

He did well but "smashed it" is a bit of a stretch...

I have no desire to sit here and add them up, but don't these numbers make him one of the best in this years draft?
Why is jarrod berry bolded?

Like I said his numbers were very good but smashed it is overcooking it a tad.
Copy and pasted from a previous post in the Draft needs thread re the bold.
For the record it is acknowledged by all he has a very good skillset, the slight knocks have been his lack of pace, size and athleticism.

I've heard a lot (mostly on this board) that he is slow.
From Charlie Cameron to current day Scott Thompson, how slow is he?

For his height and build and in the roles he is likely suited to at AFL level [small forward] he appears very average. More Jarryd Lyons than Charlie Cameron is perhaps how I'd put it.

It had been implied much earlier on here that the Crows were not that interested in him. He himself said very recently that he wasn't even sure if both clubs were interested in him. I don't think, therefore, that your feeling is necessarily correct: maybe we should be working on the club, rather than him?

Was that ever in dispute?, it's what the club has to give up to get him because his "type" is not a particularly pressing need at this time?

Didn't really say anything
Still making his mind up. Will chat to both clubs again and see where the interest lays.
However, IMO - I think hes off to the Hawks and isn't saying anythink to avoid any local backlash from media, family or friends who justy expect him to be a crow.
If he was going to join the crows and they wanted him, he would just announce it now.
My money is on him joining trhe Hawks

Agree. I think it's because our office doesn't stack up. Hawks does.

I heard the interview and thought that he was being modest in answering the question when he said that he wasn't sure of interest. I didn't read anything into it actually. He said he was meeting with both clubs that day. Why would we do that if not interested? Rucci making something out of nothing again.
