Agree.

we should create our own champions and utilise the draft.

why trade for a prismall or Dowler or Thorp when you have options like this?


Jack Ziebell – 188cm, 84kg – Murray Bushrangers.
Strong midfielder /half back / half forward. Good size and excellent skills on both sides of the body. Reads the play very well and is good at finding his own ball. Clearance work is pretty good although at times he does just charge forward hoping that his side’s ruckman wins the tap and he can burst away with the ball. It looks good when it comes off but when the ball goes the other way he can get caught out big time. He is a very strong mark and regularly takes one grab contested marks. Kicking for goal is good and he can kick long distances.
The only real question mark I have on him is his pace. He has a reasonable burst of speed when it is needed but in general he is not overly quick. He is not a player that will break the lines with his pace.
Prediction - top 10.






Lewis Johnstone Key Forward 192cm
North Adelaide 3/03/1991 87kg
Johnstone is a power forward who averaged 13 disposals and three marks at the 2007 NAB AFL Under-16 Championships. While his numbers at that carnival were only modest, he spent the 2007 season in the SANFL U-17's where he produced some impressive performances. He kicked 31 goals in 20 games and was named in the best players on seven occasions, proving to be not only strong overhead but also at ground level.

Jason Macartney on SA v WA game:

SOUTH AUSTRALIA v WESTERN AUSTRALIA
South Australia

"Lewis Johnston – He was outstanding. In a losing side, which went down by 64 points, he was a standout. Playing at centre half-forward, he took 10 marks, including six contested. He also had five inside 50s and he was by far the best key position player on the ground.
He presented really well, but what was really great was his lateral movement. And that is such a key for a centre half-forward – you can't be just that one straight lead-up player. You've got to move laterally. He did it really well and his hands were superb all day.
That should be a benchmark performance for Lewis. If he can get his work-rate up."

you could have said the same 2 years ago when JON's CV would have been part of your run down, in your options that we have. Thats why. All this report card stuff is pissing in the wind when no one knows shit at this point in time and all they do is hope.
As weaver suggested back then : Jarrod Oakley-Nicholls (W) - athletic and pacy. Tall wingers are prized.
