List Mgmt. Pick 78 (2014) - Jesse Palmer 191cm fwd

[OneGreatClub]

Ha.... I meant Logan Austin

Ah..well that would make more sense

 

[shewho]

i'm pretty sure he said he moved in with logan, dougal & bill.. he's been deserving of this call up from about round 10.

These are the 4 boys from our 2014 draft where our first pick was #56. Jesse is the third to debut, Dougal has played 6 and Logan 9. Only Billy is yet to.

By contrast, and ignoring Father-Son and Academy picks, only two players selected by other teams after #56 have played AFL for a total of 10 games. We also got Krak in the rookie draft. Dean Gore (#55) has played zilch but the Cows traded this year's Brownlow medalist for him.

Yes the class of 2014 is looking very promising and thank goodness 3 of the 4 were talls.

 

[Turiyasangitananda]

did lol at dixon dropping a mark .44 seconds into the video of jesse & kenny.

Classic! Love the frustrated kick after!

Yeah, it's almost like drafting talls rather then yet more Half back flankers (even talls picked late), can improve your list more?!? It's radical, but I'll go with us trying this shocking new tactic with our early picks regularly as well.

And if you find yourself lacking in the flanker department, your talls who have shown minimal have the currency to trade for those flankers who may have shown much more tangible progress. This doesn't typically work vice versa.

Yep, if we are stupid enough to delist Butcher he'll end up on a rookie list at least.

I reckon he'll end up on a Victorian club's main list as a DFA and we'll get exactly what we deserve in return.

He had a decent game last night. Was so happy when he kicked his first goal right after that awesome mark.

took two really good marks. i was happy with him

do you think monfries would be at danger of being behind him now?

Depends.

Monfries would clearly be the better player right now. However a strong preseason from Jesse could certainly make a case for Kern to run with the kid over the pro.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Only good thing that has happened this year is getting games into Palmer, DBJ, Austin, Dougal... Good to see him kick his first goal.

Hopefully we can see Bonner and Snelling kick theirs next week

 

[ploppy]

Jesse doesnt look like a small forward to me he looks a pretty good size. moves really well and has good skills could be anything.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Has to work on his motor to be our lead up guy. Will out duke anybody his size.

Monfries has a lot of work to do to earn a place above Young and Palmer.

 

[PowerBaz]

Palmer has the best set of shoulders so wins

 

[tribey]

Mammoth grab. #RIFOM

Maybe but he walks straight in for Neade IMO

 

[longdonkey]

Monfries plays for sure. Palmer is only 2cm shorter than Jay Schulz so he's more a mid/tall forward. Same height as Bontempelli.

Simon Phillips could walk straight in for Neade really.

 

[PA88]

Palmer has what people describe as "a football brain". Has got a strong mark and a good lead but the question mark appears to be on his pace if he's caught in a foot race for the ball. They said that his kick was an issue when we drafted him but personally I haven't seen an issue from within 50m.

It worked for the Crows a few years back.

 

[Chrizzt]

Yes Jesse has shown some nice stuff, but let's no lock him in as a 200 gamer yet. Still needs a lot of development to secure his place at AFL level. It is nice to have some of the young guys show some good stuff straight off the bat, though.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

He is a perfect 3rd tall.

Needs to play a role for us like Lynch for the Crows.

Reminds me of Daisy Borlase in the way he moves. Let's hope he develops into half the player
