[Jeffcrowe]

Definitely a KPF in time, like JUH patience will be required.
Worth noting how clean Isaac is below the knees for a tall gangly lad still growing into his body.

Lots of people comparing him to Paddy Ryder

He does have a good vertical leap

huge SA v metro game at Geelong next week will likely decide the title IMO

Love that Vic Country vs Vic Metro is preserved for the day before the grandfinal.

Its a wonder they didn't play it as a curtain raiser for the grandfinal.

And the AFL wonders why people are turning off in droves.

Thought you'd be watching the WWT ressies game on currently with both Phillipou and D'Alioa playing, Phillipou the better of the two up to half time but just OK so far.

Nope watched future Crows CHF Tyler Welsh.
Didn't have his kicking boots on but took a number of contested marks and set up a few goals through beautiful field kicking.

*Just realised you meant now.
Phillipou suits us better but might end up going too early to get him.
I'm holding out hope we trade the pick for JHF anyway.

Plans are get a Bali massage, watch the crows sanfl and AFL by the villa pool

Watching him today. Looks overweight.

I find the analysis of juniors really interesting.

If I see someone having the impact and moving around like keeler AND think he looks a bit flabby I'm all in. This says to me, imagine what he could be if put into a proper fitness program under Burgess, this also says to me that this kids ceiling is very high given what he can currently do and these deficiencies.

I'm more worried when I see a fit looking kid, but still lacking agility and mobility, but playing ok, ie McAsey.

I'm all about the ceiling when I look at drafting though.

Sure. I clarified my point that maybe he can get on top of it with an AFL fitness department.
I hope he does and becomes a star.
But right now it's a part of the risk profile.

I guess I see opportunity where you are risk

Well done Connor

Does anyone have any footage of this? Connor is a giant compared to his dad from memory?

We have burnt enough draft picks

 

[BunjiMac]

We have burnt enough draft picks

Not disagreeing with you there, but I think it's because we haven't got the balance right and put too much emphasis on exposed junior form as opposed to the potential in a professional system AND we have a "type". We do better at the later rounds because we apply the logic we should be applying to the first round.

WWT website has him at 184cm compared to Andrew who was 181cm. Only an inch difference.

Ok I was under the impression he was much bigger. What position does he play?

Hes a mid

In reality only 5 and 23

Winnable games against Hawks, Pies at AO?, WCE in Perth?, Norf at AO and finish off with the Showdown, with Port out of finals contention you'd think. Win two or more and we could rise another couple of places.

So those two picks are it, in a draft dripping with desirable SA talent in the top 25.

This where we may need to be bold if we don't want our sputtering rebuild to go on forever. We should seriously look at trading out our first and second next year (some AFL rules about this would need to be worked around) if we have the possibility of securing another two of those talents this year.

Unfortunately we have no hope of getting Brisbane's first as they need more picks this year to pay for likely top 3 Ashcroft and later on Fletcher. But a team like Gold Coast who have a truck load of picks 8, 26, 32, 34 plus this year may find it tempting to defer a big draft haul until next year as they already have a heap of talented kids struggling to get games. Might even be able to swap 8 for our 2023 first?

Think outside the square is the way to go, leave no stone unturned

The other option, more conservative option, is trying to trade down our first this year.

With Essendon (possibly Hawthorn too) winning today, pick 3 could be back on the table. A pick that high might give us the trade down option and still keep next year's first.

When has this ever worked.

When has this ever worked.

The 2019 trade down which got us an extra pick which we used on Pedlar. There's probably other examples.

And netted us a spud in McAsey. Pedlar is trending to bust too.

Keep the high Picks.

Oh well, one of the reasons I think it could be an option is to secure Keeler, who you think is fat. So I get why you might not be into it.

Fat?

Both pics taken in the last couple of weeks at the Nationals.

 

[Tex Milera]

Maybe a wee bit of puppy fat, but good size frame which will develop nicely under an AFL club’s strength & conditioning program

Max joined the Crows’ academy this year after player manager Peter Rohde alerted the club to his eligibility.

I emailed the club on 20 July 2021 and asked if Michelanney was on the radar as a f/s. I got an auto reply and no response.

 

[BunjiMac]

Slight resemblance in how he carries the football, not in kicking style though.

Seems to have the same ability as dad in weighting the kicks perfectly.

Footage doesn't really show anything else, so hard to comment.
