Player Watch Joel Cochran

[kpsmagpies]

Thought he started off slowly and worked his way into the year
Really looking forward to watching him develop his one on one stuff and keep trying to link up with hands with his run and carry

 

[rand corp]

Another one who showed signs but is not yet close. Career could go either way and needs to go to another level next year.

Good lord. I thought I'd take a look at prior drafts to see how successful players selected in the 40's and lower are. It's not good reading.

Beau at 44 and Josh at 57 (FS) and Joe Richards (traded) are the only players taken after 40 still playing since 2013 - I stopped going back as it got more and more depressing.

We'll do well if one of Hayes, West or Cochran make it Two of them would be unprecedented. All three of them a miracle.

Get set for a miracle

It’s so unlike you to take a glass half empty view.

As a rule yes, maybe in a deeper draft like last year we may have slightly greater success.

A Festivus for the Restivus!

Odds are against him so he may as well not try.

You’re not taking into effect last year was a very deep draft. West and Cochran prob would be top 20 this year
Every player like every draft is different. I think we will find our batch last year will surprise

True to form.

Then you take into account Will Parker who by all accounts would’ve been a high-ish pick and Roan Steele who looks very promising.

We’re fine.

Hayes, while his frame will need time, has eye catching moments.

You’re on a fools errand - the draft is a lottery at every level. Your chances improve at the Top but epic fails are the rule rather than the exception.
Carlton, Nth, Ess have had multiple high picks over many years but are languishing.

Top 20...? Based on what Jen?

I hope so. Although when I read the HDM thread (he was taken at 25 the year before), he is being declared a dud.

Their development and culture suck. They take a nugget of gold, rough it up instead of polishing it, and turn it into a complete turdburger.

In my opinion, Harry just needs to work on his ball disposal. He pretty much does everything else right.

Unfortunately he is completely one sided and has no capacity to turn on his non dominant side and therefore turns the ball over.
It’s a massive issue that I have little confidence he can overcome.
I can’t think of any in the AFL that’s so compromised except possibly Keays from Adel, who was dumped by BNE.

 

[JuniorB]

Hayes, while his frame will need time, has eye catching moments.

He's effectively a replacement for Joe Richards - shown a bit already.

Trying is the first step to failure , never try

What other type of disposal is there other than ball?

The disposal of opponents? Maybe we’re moulding him into an enforcer
