Pick 14

[mightymouse75]

Uncle jack kelly would be so proud of those hands.

 

[mightymouse75]

If hill ends up west coast i will cry..

 

[Wilksyy]

There is another bloke on Freo list with decent sized hands.

So big they called him the Avatar

 

[mr.11]

Hopefully fingers crossed Hill slides to us with our 2nd Rounder

 

[UYD 4 Life]

Might be able to move up to GWS's pick 28 if we think hill will still be there. would need to get past WC, Crows, Swans, Melbourne, Gold Coast

 

[Scham]

I think WC will take Taylor with the next pick.

 

[Joao]

I think WC will take Taylor with the next pick.

Replace LeFrench?

Reckon Valente is a reasonable chance too.

Meh I’ve watched Hill and Stack I prefer Stack I hope we grab him with our second pick.

 

[Freo_4eva]

All the vision of Sturt looks like a Rozee-lite.. yes please.

I stand by this... pretty stoked tbh

 

[Freo Hitman]

Fantastic pick.

I think Valente is right up their alley too.. suits their game style totally

I think Valente is up every teams alley and will show as much in time.

#14 (Geel) - Sam Sturt (VIC)
Height, Weight: 188cm, 79kg

Profile: Class act who suits the new age medium marking forward prototype. Has been considered a bolter yet some recruiters had earmarked him as a top 20 at the start of June. Possesses arguably the best left foot kick to a target and on goal in this draft.

Strange pick.

I thought you guys were lining up Warren Woodville-West Torrens

 

[Walkingwounded]

Pretty clear by what Bell and Co say on Freo website that they see Sturt going through the middle in time, to end up being tall midfielder who goes forward.

Looking at his highlights.... yeh I get that. Lots of clearance possessions leadings to goals, but looks tidy around the contest.. needs a bigger tank to go through the midfield and bulk up a bit, but could be a better kicking Avartar MkII

Combine results were impressive! and seriously large hands. Holding the microphone after being picked ... in interview.. they looked huge buckets!

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

Really happy with the Sturt pick. Seems like exactly the sort of player we need, although this may spell the end for McCarthy..

On hill, yes he is talented, but maybe the club feel he is more josh hill than Stephen... If so, then west coast can have him!

Now I know why we didn't nominate Medhat

 

[apuchar]

Now I know why we didn't nominate Medhat

Yes. I was thinking that last night.

 

[Heart Of Purple]

Yes. I was thinking that last night.

still not sure on that. Why not have both. Medhat wouldn't exactly cost us anything as a cat B rookie? Collingwood have DeGoey + Stephenson + Hoskin Elliot, key is they just need to be able to rotate through the midfield.

At least this didn't happen. Thank you GWS

I thought he had very good moments, but felt he was borderline at best (i.e. consistency of good performance), and I don't think players are just going to be gifted Cat B spots unless the club believe they have a relatively good chance of being added to the main list in the future, especially as (by all reports), we potentially have some good ones coming though over the next few years.
He still has time to prove himself, but he will just have to do it the usual way.
