You mean the Thomas "defender" Berry?

If you've watched him play regularly that should read Thomas "The Tank Engine" Berry. Just ask the point post at Mars Stadium.

I've heard rumors that he likes to be called Thomas "Utility" Berry.

I've heard rumours that he's started telling recruiters that he has his heart set on Brisbane. Likewise Sam Walsh.

Tom will probably stumble across this thread one day when googling himself and be mighty confused.

Liking Hugo Munn's hands from what I've seen so far today Pie 4 Life. What's his range look like?

Later in the ND IMO. He’s strong and a good set shot usually, but not that athletic compared to others so he’s in that next tier of forwards with Hudson Garoni.

Would definitely take him with our 4th if he's there, barring a King twin falling to our pick.. looks a very good prospect.

I don’t think a King will fall to your 4th

Hehe. You know I meant our first cheeky bugger

and the NSW ruckmen Briggs. Looks good. Probably tied to an academy somewhere

 

[flipper83]

Oh I forgot to tell you, Dawson played off the half-back flank on the weekend

Speaking of Dawson, what are your thoughts on he and Chatfield as bulldog nga prospects?

GWS. I’ve liked him this carnival. Competes well for a big man. Lays the big tackles and attempts second efforts. Overager, but like the way he attacks the contest.

I don’t think you could find a more different pairing. Dawson is a hard working midfielder but to put it nicely is vanilla - works his guts off and gets the touches, clearances and runs hard, but doesn’t really do much damage. Chatfield has plenty of X-factor and talent - great vertical leap, goal sense, but is just lazy. Frustrating.

Ely Smith's had a great start to this game. Jarrod Cameron (brother of Charlie) is also looking exciting. How are the Lions going to draft all these brothers though?

Jarrod is tied to WC through NGA isn't he?

Thanks pie4life, so do you think more likely undrafted, rookie draft or late in the national draft?

Right you are. That won't stop them dreaming though

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Both will be there for you to choose if you want them NGA or not come rookie time. Or I'd be shocked if they weren't. I personally wouldn't draft Dawson. Chatfield it comes down to whether you think he will put in the work. Has the talent, but whether he can adapt to an elite environment and give it his all, that's the question.

 

[trikster]

can you tell us a little about Thomas Berry?

Sure ... he is slow, out of shape, loves a drink and a dart at half time like the old boys did it, says he is only playing because his old man makes him, and after this year wants to model his career on another younger brother ... Nathan Ablett. Rookie draft prospect at best

Wouldn't have picked that with some of his run and repeat efforts yesterday.....

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Facetiously or not, I can never understand fans who try to downplay prospects' chances so they fall to a particular club.

I've done it and I cringe.

Didn't you hear that recruiters put a lot of weight on the character assessment of prospects by anonymous BF posters - very reputable source of inside info

Yeah and that the more likely a BF user went to school with a prospect, the better they are at being draftable.
