Wow - just listened to Macca and Portia’s review of the SA draftees, part 2. Portia in particular did not rate Grundy or Woodcock. Combined with her sentiments about the Duursma pick, she would not have been happy yesterday.
Portia hates any player that isn't between 190 and 205cm unless they are completely and utterly elite because we keep picking up sub 180cm players in a height and strength dominated league.Wow - just listened to Macca and Portia’s review of the SA draftees, part 2.

Portia also tends to go ultra negative on players by default so it’s entirely possible she hasn’t even seen much of eitherIn fairness from listening to the podcast I reckon Portia rated about 10 players this year, so the chances of her being happy weren't all that high.
I know this lad and his parents. Really, really pleased for him. Great kid. Hard worker. Competitive. He will leave nothing to chance.
Little piece of trivia. His dad played in the NRL and is about 6'5. His mum is about 5'2. Genetics!
Any relation at all to Roger Woodcock from Norwood? Not a common surname!
Welcome to the club Roger
Stoked with this pick, ahead of Neade and AJ already. About time we had a real genuine small forward.
Neade has been delisted hasn't he?
No. His dad is from NSW and his mum is from the Yorke Peninsula. Boyd grew up in Kadina before moving to Adelaide.Any relation at all to Roger Woodcock from Norwood? Not a common surname!
He's actually a relation to Tommy Woodcock. Pharlap's straper.
You only ask if these 3 could make that kick?I heard it said that he wasn’t a long kick. That may be true but a number of his goals this year, especially in the finals, were from boundary line set shots 40+ metres out. To kick that accurately from those positions under the pressure of tight finals games is a big asset. Wonder if Neade, S Gray or AJ could manage the same.
With all these small forward options (Robbie Gray, Farrell, Johnson, Woodcock, Cox) I reckon Sam Gray should play further away from goal at either AFL or SANFL level and accumulate the ball from a forward flank or as a rover or outside mid.

Liptak! Absolutely.Woody has a peculiar but effective kick. Could be a sneaky chance of making his AFL debut in 2019 if he keeps improving. He reminds me of Matthew Liptak - not a great player but 'finds a way' of getting the job done.
