Sheesh some harsh campaigners on here.

LDU's a jet, i laughed as hard as anyone when Freo missed out on him.

SC wise I'd be keeping well away, but I'd still be stoked if i was Norf, not all draftees smash it from the get go. Look at Rhys Palmer FFS.
Remember .....they drink a lot :p

Missed out? Passed on, you mean.

One of the key points everyone was talking about predraft was that he was AFL ready. Didn't look anything like being close to AFL ready. Rushed handballs and miskicks. Definite no-no for his price tag.

Going to be a decent player hopefully to fulfill his high draft rank but I cannot see it this season.

Thank **** we took Dow at #3 and many were split over the choice on our board including myself.
LDU was good til he got to North. Two games later he’s a broken man.

Boom.

I've personally watched that sumbitch along with H.Clark drag the Stingrays over the line in many TAC games.

Certainly nothing like what he's shown for Norf thus far, normally he's a more contested Josh Kelly.

Goldy looking good

Caddy interesting I think he will play mid more now that townsend is second tall

Vlastuin will be a good pic

LDU is a spud
Only seeing small patches of the game at work.
Boring game anyways so not a big deal.
Vlas looks good.
Nil. Short playing Houli's role tonight (not badly either, he's been involved in the play a fair bit)
Houli is run fast kick long man.
Vlas is take big clunks dude.
Minimal effect on each other.
Look at his average from when he came back into the side last year. He started the year forward and has played all different roles over the years. Now he is going to be +1 most of the time so will get lots of intercept marks and kicks.
Vlastuin vs sicily is gonna be a tough decision....

The most handsome ginger player in the AFL vs the biggest flog in the AFL
Nice work. Keep him Pod-ish. Locked.
Vlastuin is becoming a lock
Its okay just look at his past scores, hes terrible
lol

Win the flag and suddenly irrelevant SC players become locks.
Come at me Richmond flogs and if Vlas goes 95-100 I'll eat humble pie :moustache:

I backed him for a 90 average back in December.
averaged 92 for the last 10 rounds of the year, could do a lot worse than picking Vlastuin.
Its the exact same reasoning behind picking Sicily and Billings.

But Billings has averaged 90+ over 22 games and has a guaranteed role and is forward selectable.
Vlas could go 90 in the backline but I don't see his ceiling much more than that without injury or change of club coming into it.

Sicily at his price can't go backwards. If he gets rid of those 50 games he only goes up

Can a bloke that's 23 not just get better from being in the system a bit longer and finally locking down a role in the team?

Even when I came top 10 I managed to do it with Gibson (90 ave) and Harvey (92), reckon Vlas will go around at least low 90s, for 430k I don't reckon that's not too bad.
The defenders we have now are gonna be pumping out 100s like Doch, Simpson, Shaw and Boyd did that year either.

I love Sicily, he's such a campaigner. Need a few more characters in the AFL, makes it worth watching teams that you aren't invested into.

The only other ruck I'd take after Gawn Is the Nank. Great price. Another pre season. Top 8 team. Not much travel which is important for rucks.
But Lycett.
I'm following Nank. If he goes nuts I'll take the punt.

5 odd cms in height is a fair bit with Bont at 192 and a lot of other elite young Mids well above LDUs 187cms which by today's standards is on the small side for many elite youngsters coming into the league.

Cripps was also towering over Nick Riewoldt in a pre game JLT interview.

Not saying LDU is a bust by any means but I think he will need time to show his best at AFL level and a heap of games against senior men in the 2nds should be high on the agenda for him and it is a big jump from U18s level to AFL and many kids need time.

LDU IMO is not a SC option at all this year at over 175k.
This is correct, certainly it would not be possible to be a good SC mid scorer at oh say 186 cm. You would not be able to be one of the strongest overhead marks in the league or charge through everyone like some sexy bull. No sir.
