Player Watch Riley Thilthorpe - Signed to End of 2028

[TubbsFarquhar]

There was alot on this board that wanted Logan ahead of Reily.

I wonder what FAITH is thinking now? They'd probably still double-down if they were still around.

I am down in Adelaide atm from Darwin
I can report that the Henley Beach Cafe of all knowledge was quiet
Then again I may have got the venue mixed up

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We definitely nailed it, although you have to wonder how much of the decision came down to "it's a jump ball, so let's just go for the Crows-supporter SA kid."

What is obvious from that article is that even the experts have no real idea which of these kids is going to be better.

Well given many thought it was line ball, it made sense to pick the local who supported the Crows.

 

[LiquidCrow]

Can't believe so many had Denver Grainger-Barras, that worked out well. Shows how much of a lottery it is.

​

Curse of Pick 6 I think.

When this article came out at the start of last year DBG had been picked for a potential bust which proved to be correct.

Where Have The "Busts" Gone? - The Mongrel Punt

Who have been the biggest busts from the AFL Draft? And are the number of busts decreasing. Jed Lehmann analyses this in his Momgrel debut

[Redleg Crow]

It really is a do all the homework, interview them all… then pick and pray scenario.

2 years ago (even 1 year?) most neutrals would have preferred J U-H.

Not now…

Thilthorpe v Darcy is going to be an interesting comparison watch.

Different drafts.

Thilthorpe v Darcy is going to be an interesting comparison watch.

Darcy is Riley but 3 inches taller.

Unreal footballer.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Different drafts.

I know JUH was the Thilthorpe draft but I'm genuinely interested to watch how these 2 closely matched players progress.

They are both the future of the AFL that's for sure

It's not out of the question both could be All Australians this season. They both will be at some stage.

JUH will go all right once he gets his Cotton On Farm outside Geelong.....

I think they'll give him his own rifle range

Cameron wouldn't want to take him back to his farm as probably use his animals as target practice.

So what’s happened with Granger Barass? Is he just no good, or no passion to play the game?

Just not good enough at AFL level.

 

[FR0GGY]

Just not good enough at AFL level.

Has he been given a good shot?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Has he been given a good shot?

Plenty.

28 games over 3 years averaging 7.5 disposals.

Is he playing at any level this year?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Not AFL level.

West Coast were not even interested as part of thr Barass deal.

 

[Soggy2112]

Darcy is Riley but 3 inches taller.

Unreal footballer.

Darcy a better mark, particularly with the way he can get it at its highest point so naturally. Riley more athletic and has more tricks with the ball on the ground.

Both going to collect plenty of AA jackets over the years.

Riley a better kick Sam a better mark.

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

We should have made a big offer to Darcy at the end of 2023.

Pick 2 and only played 7 games in his first 2 seasons, surely he was looking to change clubs?
