Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Sorry if its been asked before, but
I see there is an Ollie Lord in the the list way back of players to watch, is he related to the premiership lords of Geelong?
195cm he is quite tall.

The interest is real regarding Crouch and it's both ways. I guess it might come down to the offer. It might be also why Constable has reportably been mentioned as wanting out.
We've also inquired about Doedee.
I'm with you. I want to be wrong and I'm judging Stephen's on such a small sample size but I haven't seen anything to be excited about.
He's a good sized mid......that's about all I've seen. I never saw him work through traffic well, dodge, weave, kick beautifully, take a strong mark, give a handball that wasn't there. He was just a large mid that got some of the ball, played okay.
Cripps created some play as a kid, he too was a big mid but he gave some of those handballs through traffic that made you think, theres maybe something here.
Again, judging Cooper on very small sample but I just haven't seen it, hopefully our recruiting team did.
The kid is Max Heath, 202cm ruckman who competes really well at ground level and can take a contested grabFor those of us that were looking at Ruck options in this draft... I found this comment by Matt Rendell worth noting..
"I saw a practice match against Sandringham Dragons , played Oakleigh earlier this year in Feb and there was a kid in the ruck for Sandringham Dragons that I didn't even see last year an I thought if he is not top15 I will give the game away....
Who ? Not sure but it will be worth watching to see if some ruck kid comes from no where..?

Same here. What I’ve seen was underwhelming. Not one touch. Far from elite disposal by foot. Can find the pill but I want more than that. Will compare his development and career to Devon Robertson over the next 3-5 years.
But claim after only one game, I guess Rendell also has access to footage from pre-season games so he can analysis that game better. It’s been since March and was also one of the last game I got to go to before covid.Top15 in the draft ... according to Rendell..?
compare to Neale... so could there be a couple of rucks in the first 2 rounds in your opinion?But claim after only one game, I guess Rendell also has access to footage from pre-season games so he can analysis that game better.

He was very impressive though and if we where able to get champs going he would certainly be Metro’s starting ruck.
Neale is playing more as a key forward for South Fremantle it seems I still need to see him again this year, had a good first game but been quiet the last two. Hard to say if he goes top 30 but he does have plenty of athleticism certainly more than Heath. Both different types of rucks with the athlete Neale and the competitor Heath.compare to Neale... so could there be a couple of rucks in the first 2 rounds in your opinion?
Hope I’m wrong but to me it looked like wells regretted not calling out worpel and did not want to risk being made silly passing again on the local kid. Have t seen any spark or unique talent that deserves R1 status but again... limited vision.. but it’s concerning they’re trying to play him on a hbf in the 2’s. Wouldn’t say that’s positive.

Draper is a better athlete than Heath but yeah similar in competitiveness and marking ability. Neale reminds me a bit of Luke Jackson, obviously not that good but moves the same and uses his leap.So Health a bit more like Draper? Neale more like someone like Williams...
The discussion in here has centred around draft V trading in someone in the system that is at a club with good depth. Geelong have show a reluctance to take young rucks for sometime.. its sound like both would be several years of development away from playing?
So are we working our way through the Crows' injury list alphabetically? Or is it just Danger's contacts list?The interest is real regarding Crouch and it's both ways. I guess it might come down to the offer. It might be also why Constable has reportably been mentioned as wanting out.

Heath would be more readymade, 89kg and could Pinch hit early on and be a marking target up forward.
Pretty much. Even though he was a mini draft player.. he is not that type who will immediately add the class we probably need to add to slide the weight of expectation down from Joel and Patty to the middle age. He would be able to help with the clearances averaging 5 over his career. I don't want to hear any numbers that would give them band1.It's way too early to rate CS and the rest of the draft class from last year come back in 2 years.
As for crouch I can see why he would appeal we like Free agents as filling the middle age gap has been something we have traded for for years. But his injury record worries me and hence I wouldn't want to overpay..if he is willing to cone for less $ that's different.
I'd be surprised if Adelaide let doedee go at all although I'm glad if we have at least asked the question.
Yeah Walsh has to fill out, he competed well and has something to work with but he is a rookie pick for mine and a long way off playing senior footballLove the feedback thanks for that... the lack of vision is knowledge depriving and frustrating in a year when we have 3 R1 picks.
Care to comment on two other talls that have been mentioned on here..
Henry Walsh. a Falcon and brother of Sam... my memory of him him was he had to fill to out a bit..
Ollie Lord , another tall but more a forward? ... obviously a a surname associated with our club ..and will play with the Falcons this year if and when they play.
