Michael Talia?

[FR0GGY]

Brother of Daniel. Didn't know he had a brother. Hes in the up coming draft, does anyone know anything about him.
From what i read hes a 193cm defender, not as highly rated as Daniel.

 

[Jonts]

More of a shutdown defender than Dan and isn't as fast over the short distance pretty much the same after that though, Help fill the Davis hole for you guys perhaps? Talia Brothers as your 2 KPD's for the next 10 years?

One of the best Defenders in the draft should go 8-20, you would have to use your first rounder on him

 

[King Elvis]

He sounds pretty great, but we need mids.

True, crows should go after a Grigg/Tyson/Buntine/Kavangha IMO maybe even Greene or Crozier

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Id love to see M Talia at the crows, put Otten in the Middle next season when Jaensch is back.

 

[cmndstab]

If he survives to our second round pick certainly, but we need to spend our first rounder on a young gun mid again this year.

I wonder if Carlton would entertain the idea of drafting Michael to try and get Daniel back to Melbourne at some point. Seeing as they wanted him last year

If he is around at Carlton's pick it will be a huge slide

Does drafting a brother to get the other brother ever really work? (Other than for Port players )

Suns? Ablett possibly Tippett?

Suns? Ablett possibly Tippett?

They would say it was a large factor in moving... But I think Ablett had a few other million reasons as to go...

 

[earlsta]

Michael Talia is supposed to be the best KPD this yr, won't last past 1st rd!

In response to others, we must draft the best available mid with our first pick.

 

[Ravenous Crow]

Only way I could see us getting him is if we activated the Davis compo pick. I doubt he'll slide further than pick 14 (Bulldogs).

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Matt Rendells in charge of recruiting. Lock in a tall.

Ablett was already going, Tippett didn't go.

 

[Mad Fan of AFL]

not only should our first pick be a mid so should our second as well. Pretty sure our talent at the back end is still good despite losing Bock, Stevens and Davis...

We had an opportunity to recruit talia last year if not mistaken? 16 other clubs past over him too.

He used to play mid as well.....Versatility bitch!

Hahaha! Lock him in.... Rendell can see him playing on a wing he is so mobile

 

[jo172]

Max Otten, Jay Van Berlo, Joel Tippett board?

I think you'll find you're talking about Max Otten.

Talia was not eligible last year as a 17 year old. He was only eligible for GWS as he fell into the Jan-Apr age bracket.

Heard he is doing good things just made All Aus. Nice write up on him too.

One of my mates worked with him this year during the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and she said for his age, he is an absolute beast. Finished school last year and he is working as a Personal Trainer this year.

^ This ^ (+Bock)

As much of a fairy tail as it may sound, we just don't tend to draft brothers because they are brothers which I will more then happily agree with!

 

[earlsta]

He's in the middle, doesn't look 18 at all.
