Murray reminds me a lot of Tom McDonald from Melbourne, both in looks body wise and athleticism. Both go hard at the ball in the air too. I think Murray will turn out alright. I wonder if he could eventually move forward, post Tex?

Agree on the comparison and assessment.
But I would rather Gollant up forward post Tex.
McAdam
Fog
Gollant
Tilthy (Ruck/Forward)
As the four main forwards.

Good to see he's got his hair cut in the last couple of weeks - a nice short back and sides military cut. His Elizabeth Downs regular boys haircut was looking very 1987

I'd caution on this. Yes he looks like he could be a super player which is what we want. But if it costs us this years and next years 1st, we miss out on a guy like Wardlaw or Phillipou or Tsatsas this year who may be every bit as good - others here would have seen them and would know better there. Then next year we lose a potential top 2-5 pick to go again.
All I am saying is the lower our pick goes this year, the more wary about selling it and future 1sts we should be

When thinking of trading him in we need to consider the very real possibility that he will be another top SA pick to underdeliver relative to talent and draft position.
Thilthorpe - jury out
Stephens - massively underdelivered so far
Lukosius - underdelivered so far
Rankine - underdelivered so far
Rozee - slightly below par
Francis - massively underdelivered
Scharenberg - massively underdelivered
Aish - underdelivered
Toumpas - massively underdelivered
Mayes - massively underdelivered
Wingard - par
Day - underdelivered
Polec - underdelivered
Gorringe - massively underdelivered
Trengove - underdelivered
Hartlett - underdelivered
Davis - good outcome
Gibbs - underdelivered
Going all the way back to Gibbs nearly all top 10 SA talented has failed to live up to their draft position.
You'd want to be bloody sure JHF is the one to buck that trend

Bit harsh on Gibbs. And I think you could say Rankines form warrants that verdict changing.
We should bring in Rankine if we have the chance.
No point in bringing JHF if Nicks is still coach, he'll be rotating between SANFL and the half forward flank with the Crows

What is Davis doing there? Wasn't he a Canberra footballer?
Originally, yes. But moved to Adelaide with family as a teenager (?) - went to Saint Peters.

Its an interesting discussion if in hindsight the Suns took both Kings at 2,3, probably would result in Rozee sliding/landing to us.
Maybe, but why would we want another half forward sitting in the SANFL. And anyway, when was the last time you saw him sacrifice his natural flair for some good old defensive pressure?

You say this like its a bad thing?
Let the talent shine - there is time to build the defensive side - but let him play his best way first
As long as his offensive outshines his defensive then its all good for me
I feel like that post was dripping with sarcasm as to the things the AFC values.

Sorry, I'm still fairly new to this - I don't know where the sarcasm button is.

It's been about six but do try and change history.

Good week to approach Rankine
G'day Izak, wondering if you'd like to get a trade away from that talent less Gold Coast train wreck and come to home to a club dripping with young talent that is about to explode up the ladder.
What's that? Oh, you're not as dumb as Dawson to believe that ......... you think the AFC is a scam. Righto, we'll move on ....
Nick's will have him back pocket along with Dawson.
Dawson, just last year.
