Player Watch Josh Worrell

[loplop]

WOW! Just going by that clip posted, he looks the most impressive from our picks. I see he is a KPD but seems to move really well and someone that can play mid ? To me seems like a bont and buddy hybrid?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

He sounds like a pretty chill bloke.

 

[Mutineer]

Hope Fischer and Josh are actually friends and not just team mates that put up with each other

Teammates right through the junior ranks first at their local club the East Brighton Vampires, then the NAB League/Sandringham Dragons and then Vic Metro.

Did we just draft Fabio?

 

[hey shorty]

Bookends sorted for a decade, great get.

Reminds me of Eric Hipwood.

 

[Golumless]

So with two new tall defenders, does that mean we don't need to play Hartigan anymore?

Probably a year away from that one occurring.

Hartigan 29 end of next season .....2 years of development is perfect timing for this years Drafting

Make sure you refer to him as a footballer-slash-model, and not the other way around.

 

[Red mist]

Hamish on SEN just mentioned his brother in law on our recruiting staff. Interesting.

Everyone always assumes that players who played in the same team are friends.

Yeah, sucks when people make assumptions based on direct quotes from players.

Said the same about Talia and Walker

Said the same about Talia and Walker

absolutely.

no guarantees

Planning around the possibility that a player could move in 5 years time, based on where they came from, just opens you up to settling for a lesser option.
If McAsey and Worrell were the 2 best key position players available to us in the draft, and they also fill a role that we have a vacancy at, then we pick them. Picking someone else, because we've lost players from there before is silly.

Lever and Davis play the same end of the ground. They aren't bookends

Generally if they play in the same junior, rep and state teams etc they will be friends, at least to an extent.

Just because when they go out to the carnival etc they'll know their club teammates the best.

I liked most of my team mates and would have called them my friends, but there were very few who influence me to hang around at a club.

They're also quite young and susceptible to change in people they like to hang around with.

I don't buy the whole friends help with retention thing. It may help in the early stages of home sickness.

I'm not one for getting carried away with the potential of second round draftees, but yes this is completely accurate.

I agree its more likely to help in the early stages when knowing people and fitting in are concerns.
Having an 'in', like a guy you've known for years, makes life so much easier even if they arent close.

But in saying that the early stages set the scene. Its very easy to make your mind up that you dont like something early on.

I like the look of this fella..... seems pretty athletic and well balanced for a tall. Bonus he's a lefty!
Someone earlier mentioned bontempelli and I agree 100%
Can't wait to see you in the tri colours Josh.... tear it up kid

Someone also mentioned Justin Westhoff

And before anyone comes at me I rate the Hoff quite highly.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

With Butts, McAsey and Worrell on our list, I dare say Kyle should be feeling a bit nervous.
