Well Monocle. I've told my son tonight I can no longer support the Eagles. First we lose Davis and now Jetta is let go, so the Swans are crippled for next year!:mad::D
 
Man Sheppard looks like Nicoski. If those two blokes are both playing off the HBF it's going to be frickin' hard to tell them apart.

Hopefully the similarity doesn't extend to decision making and disposal skills.

What was the bet - something to do with Mora wasn't it?
Yeah, he said WC would pick Mora, I took him up on that as it was weeks out from the season even ending, let alone from the draft, figured there was a lot of water to go under the bridge between then and now. This was when WC was below Freo too, so he may not have counted on our run towards the end. ;)

Took me a while, but I finally figured it out. I think with Sheppard the team hopes we've pikced up a Joel Corey type. If he grows another inch and fills out, there's no reason that Sheppard can't develop into a Joel Corey around the ground utility midfielder or half back. Of course he has to spend a bit more time playing midfield/wing, but the potential is there, particularly with his poise and kicking.
 
More Sam Fisher while in the backline. I could see him bein a line breaking mid once he develops core strength to break tackles.
 
Definitely a Corey Enright type. Half back with excellent disposal who can play on the wing while locking down an opponent.

Joel Corey is an midfield accumulator with average to good disposal and Sam Fisher is a big bodied rebounding defender who can play CHB.

2 decent pickups there.

Sheppard should be good too.

Good pick up, Smith, Hurn, Sheppard should be some pretty good run from the backline. Whats the chances of a Pick #7 rising star?? he seems keen to play from round 1, has had experience against men. If he impresses in training and gets a birth he could get under the radar as opp coaches concentrate on blocking Hurn and give us some drive out of defence??

Or am I drawing a long bow??

He is pretty slight but Wirra wasent a big guy either...
