Draft Review Noob's 2025 Draft Prospect Video Thread

[RedmanWasHere]

What is going on with this shite headband epidemic? Should drop down 5 places in the draft for that alone.

You never saw Daniel Chick with his hair up.

Still waiting on footage for the rest of the weekend's talent league games. In the meantime here's some more of Sam Cumming:

A slightly quieter outing this week from Cumming but he still played a large role in helping his Roosters squad claim victory with his power around the contest combined with his ability to get forward and hit the scoreboard.

CDT and Sam Grlj packages incoming?

All the CTL footage for Round 1 is up for me

 

[noobermensch]

A strong first outing for Onley here, best on for his Bushrangers team in a losing effort. His size, power and clean hands at stoppage proved extremely difficult for Gippsland to handle as Onley won a stack of clearances and helped initiate forward moves. His aerial prowess and reading of the play are a real weapon. The major concern for Onley is his disposal by foot, which wasn't great again here but he gets a pass due to the wild and windy conditions.

In the marquee matchup of the weekend, Cooper Duff-Tytler got the better of Louis Emmett and played a huge role in helping his Cannons team get up on the day. He didn't always have his own way in the hitout battle, but his follow up work at ground level and on the spread was elite for a 200cm lad. Given his relatively recent full time commitment to footy we might only be scratching the surface of what he's capable of.

I don't know if anyone from the AFL is reading or whether they care at all... but there are ways to get a much higher quality video source from the aflondemand brightcove library.

Long suffering Blues fans have a future star to look forward to in father/son prospect Cody Walker. Cody was super busy when he was on the ground doing a little bit of everything, cracking in to win contested ball, finding space around the ground as a link man, and creating scoring opportunities in the forward 50. Considering he's likely the Pioneers best player I thought it a little strange that he spent so much time on the bench in a close contest.

The first game of the season for Tom was solid rather than spectacular. The numbers look excellent, but he struggled to find space early due to the Dragons intense pressure as the Jets fell behind on the scoreboard. As the game progressed things started to open up and Tom was increasingly able to get on to his damaging left boot to influence the play.

There's been a lot of chatter in Essendon fan circles about NGA linked Adam Sweid's first game of the season for the Cannons. After missing a season with a torn ACL, Adam posted a strong first up performance showcasing his intensity, power and strength at the contest and an ability to do damage with the ball in hand.

This can only mean my by Rory Wright is next!

I'll see how I go. I'd like to get to Rory, but I still have Greeves, Emmett and NHH that I have to do this week.

I've had someone asking for Jevan Phillipou for the last three weeks as well so I should get to him.

We've got you working as hard as Chief has the hamsters running the spin wheels to keep the servers online! Much appreciated though Noob

Ollie Greeves has added muscle to his already impressive frame in the off season making him a serious physical specimen. He'll have games where he finds more of the footy, but this was a solid outing for him albeit he struggled with his kicking at times in the strong wind which affected everyone and turned this game into a scrap. One area of improvement for him coming into this season was his defensive pressure, so it was good to see him crunching into a number of tackles here and even winning a couple of free kicks.

Apologies for the lack of sound, the effects mics were only picking up the noise of wind so I had to mute.

The expectation was that Lindsay would move into the midfield in his top age season, and we got confirmation of that in the opening round of Talent League action. Lindsay was a strong influence at stoppage and contests, especially impressing without the footy with his defensive pressure and tackling. His typically elite disposal skills were perhaps a little rusty or effected by the windy conditions, but he did manage to lace out some damaging darts in the second half.

Unfortunately had to mute the audio again in this one due to the wind in the effects mic.

Looks a bit bigger and stronger in his legs than last year! A bit of extra power in those kicks of his are going to be a nightmare for defenders.

 

[noobermensch]

Given the windy conditions and his team losing the territory battle, it's a credit to Liam Hetherton that he managed to kick three goals and look dangerous whenever the ball was kicked in his direction. He moves well for a big guy, shows clean hands in marking contests and knows how to use body work to protect his dangerous space.

Lots of Bomber fans keen to see more of their NGA linked excitement machine Hussien El Achkar. This wasn't his most prolific performance but still a solid way to open the new season slotting 4 majors and having his hand in a few other scoring chains. He seems leaner than last season which will hopefully allow him to sustain the energy needed to apply pressure and roam up the ground for longer.

They're really about to have the best half forward line in the comp while Carlton remain with Spud Motlop and Frankie Evans...

Perhaps. I like to hype the prospects a little bit in the video descriptions... I'm fairly confident that El Achkar will be a good one but not 100% sold yet. His body shape still seems more suited to rugby than footy I feel, and there are a few little issues in his game.

He knows where the goals are though and that's more than half the battle.
