I know it's been said but Salem looks like he will be at the Dees.
I just hope we still get Lennon

[AJ Green]

Sheed to WCE??

Yeah Sheed to eagles. He had Cripps going to Carlton which was an interesting one

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Seriously no, bit like an insurance company evaluating health risk overseas, in more market orientated set-ups. Fact is taller players, all other thing being equal, can do more things aerially like shorter players are superior on the ground and depending on a players role, aerial impact can be more important or less important than ground level.


I would even go as far as to say a 184 cm player has a greater advantage over a 180cm player than a 188cm player over a 184cm player and definitely a 192cm player over 188cm based on the law of diminishing returns. It is the rationale why it is hard for players shorter than 170cm to get a gig because their ground play advantage is difficult to be significantly better than the loss of marking power and reach as an inside mid from a lack of height at the margin.

The same law applies in reverse with taller players, all other things being equal, where 190+cm plus players are usually superior in the shorter range, eg. 191-193cm, 194cm-196cm than taller heights because usually the extra marking ability etc.. from greater height is not greater than the impact of a loss of ground level play from being taller. Thats why the greatest forwards of the game have tended to be less than 196cm and will tend to remain that way until we get a surge in the number of players like a Lebron James etc..with that type of physical ability that can match the Locketts at 191cm or so

This
Though I don't think Lennon will be there at 66

I knew we should of kept the Hampson pick

 

[Rubber Hips]

Guess it boils down to Salem v Lennon

I'd be stoked to get Lennon

189cm wing/HF who marks strongly on the lead and is sharp by foot, but also knows his way around goal, fires bullet passes and backs himself with the ball.

among the better kicks at the Draft Combine

was a three-way winner of the handball/clean hands test.

averaged 28 disposals a game running through the midfield.

Come to tigerland Ben!

We will get Freeman or Jones. Salem as I've said all along will be gone. Unfortunately so will Lennon.

 

[Stylo]

Could you have a chat to FJ and get him to take Acres please tigs? Thanks

Would not mind Acres, athletic potential is crazy good.

If Salam and Lennon are gone. We must get Sheed. Don't no about Freeman. Just worries me a bit same with Jones.

Unless things change overnight which can happen, this is true.

Freeman or Jones. I would prefer Jones but most sources are telling me Freeman.

We want Lennon to drop but don't think he will.
