Should Adelaide be looking at North Adelaide's Nick Gill, to draft. A great mark and fantastic potential.

Good player at SANFL level. Very exciting at times. Does he have the dedication for the hard slog of AFL?

He turned 23 last August which may or may not be against him as well.
 
I'd have question marks over his disposal and the defensive side of his game at AFL level. He is attack, attack, attack and looking to take on his man at all times and I'm not sure that his style of play would fit into today's AFL.
His kicking is very questionable also, when he connects it goes a mile but he often tends to shank quite a few kicks.

That said though he takes some very strong and high leaping marks and is very very good at ground level. He is also deceptively quick for a bloke that stands 193cms and creates lots of pressure when chasing down players.

He is a very exciting player and had a great debut year at North and probably deserves a shot but I don't know that clubs will take on a player like him in the AFL today which is all about keeping the ball at all costs and taking as few risks as possible.

What he said.

Wasn't he on the rookie list for a couple of years with one of the victorian clubs.

We need youngsters with potential. We don't need, good average players. Gill is a good SANFL player but IMHO he is not up to it at AFL level.

Gill = Schell. Didn't Gill get picked at CHF for the SANFL team of the year. More an indication of the lack of quality talls in the local league then Gills ability.
 
As much as I love the bloke he wouldn't be up to it fully. Im sure he could compete, but nothing more. Great mark and great bloke but shocking disposal at times.
 
Way.Over.Rated, Perrie is better than him and thats saying something.

Now now there is no need to be bitter because he shunned Glenelg for North. Maybe if the Bays showed a bit of professionalism they could attract players instead of just losing them.

Nothing to do with that, he is and will be a good player at SANFL level but definately isn't up to AFL. Maybe we should just offer them all big $$ isn't that what you do at Norf, nice to see you guys are following the salary cap, if you even realize there is one....Might have to open up a few more pubs to pay for all your recruits this year. :p
 
hey dont be so hard to North, we gave you a top quality recruit this year in Lucas Herbert.
A lot of bitter, jealous Glenelg supporters around these days, angry because North and Glenelg were equally crap and now North are on the way up and Glenelg are still... crap.
I know you think Gill is 'way over rated' because he didnt decide to go to Glenelg and chose the mighty Reds instead. 2nd in the magarey is a pretty fair effort too. At least we have some gun recruits coming next year, and we can definately afford to open a few more pubs ;) All of your top players are on the way out.
I wonder how long Mickan will last.
 
YEah right mate, can't you add up the numbers there is no way that you will be under the salary cap, you are cheating everone knows it. Just like last year when South did the same thing, you would've been complaining about that before to, but you guys take the cake you have taken it to another level, hope it plagues you just like it did to South. Anyone can buy a good team, some of us play by the rules. Lucas Herbet was 2005 cockboy.
