Take Two - Pick 2 & 3, who ya got?

[JGreezy]

I think that we need to recruit Wembanyama to play in the midfield

Hooooley moley

Man would be split in half right now. Needs a sandwich

 

[BRider]

Wardlaw is not your typical small inside mid.. he's explosive as anything. If he passes medicals you take him and Sheezel if available. Or if gws take Wardlaw take Cadman and Sheezel.

 

[Psicosis]

What do people view as Tsatas’ scope/ceiling?

On the surface, a 189cm, lightning, line breaker, that is also a ball pig, is pretty appealing…

Looking forward to changing my combination for the next 6 weeks. Sheez the lock, undecided on the other… glad it’s not my decision.

Why do you think Rawlings is so keen to trade us out of the top 3

 

[Mich0]

Dees may make a play to trade up as they have before. With P13, Demons F1 and Freo F1 (and Dees + Freo F2) as well to play with.

4 picks in first 2 rounds of next years draft is solid currency. Definitely trumps Sydney’s 14/17

I honestly won't be disappointed with any of them.

They all fill a need whilst being outstanding in their respective positions

His stat line looks like Walsh to me, other than tackles. He has accumulating similarities to McRae but not the footskills.

When he’s 26-27 he’ll be a strong tall quick 90 meter player. Certainly more outside than inside. But comfortable around stoppages on the perimeter.

Cheezels at 2
Tsatziki at 3

Get it done Brady/Viney/Clarko/Sonja

Agree. Surely we are crying out for a fwd and outside run
Another inside mid means another inside mid playing out of position

 

[verypoorboy]

These picks will almost certainly end up being 3 & 4 after the Ashcroft bid.
But I for one, am really bullish and excited for our position in this draft.

Based on recent history over the last 10 years, we’d have to be incredibly unlucky to pick out 2 busts from this draft hand. And in most cases, it’s not unreasonable to expect at least 1-of-the-2 players (or both, if lucky) to become an A-Grader down the track.

Bolded who I consider to be A-Grade or in the case of Rankine, Jackson & LDU, on their way to be (probably as soon as next season).

 

[RossHenshaw]

Agree. Surely we are crying out for a fwd and outside run
Another inside mid means another inside mid playing out of position

I know they say take the best available & in this case - (assuming GWS take Cadman) I’m really starting to warm to Tsatas . I actually had him behind Wardlaw & Sheezel bit I now think the way he plays , he will be the one to make an immediate impact compared to all of them . Outside runner , ball magnet & has the body to turn into a big bodied mid as well .
I think we have enough of these type of Wardlaw mids with Cunners, Jed (if he stays) , Jy , Greenwood, Powell , Phillips , Ldu , Thomas etc .
I was up to yesterday a (wardlaw & sheezel) pick But now I think we are best to go with Sheezel & Tsatas .

 

[Fart Cummings]

I was Sheeze lock into Wardlaw now iv woken up Sheeze into Tsatas

Draft well and we set the club up for a decade. No one could f*** both these picks up.

 

[Themanbun]

I can't decide who I don't want out of Wardlaw, Tsatas, and Sheezel.

I feel like Wardlaw is the least of our needs, but is, if he passes the medical, going to be the best out of the three. Our only mid like him is LDU In my opinion.

[King Corey]

Funny you say that. I've been wary of Tsatas' footskills. BUT it's hard to look past his combination of height, potentially a strong (not huge) build and athleticism. Plus he finds the ball.

The disposal might be able to be improved or at least his decision making sharpened up enough to make a weapon out his strengths.

would be a nice filip after years of misses, I know next year is supposedly a mega-super-dooper draft. Apparently.

But please, just this once don't get tricky? We never got a 'real' priority pick back in the day and have never brought in 2 absolutely elite top end of draft kids together before.

Why not just keep the hand we fought for now and bring in our own Petracca-Brayshaw, Roughie-Buddy combo to help build some real success?

[BoomerRoo]

Sheezel has to be pick 2

My thinking also…

 

[giantroo]

Sheezel has to be pick 2

Yep. The Blues were trying to get up to pick him and according to their ITK posters, they know North are taking him at our first pick.

 

[rippersnipper]

Has to be whichever two of Sheezel, Cadman and Wardlaw are available. Need players who can consistently hit targets, given that turnovers and ineffective disposals are two of our biggest issues.

 

[DesertRoo]

Short crop this year, no big bodied mids ey?

The Adelaide kid Mattaes Phillipou

 

[Mixed Results]

As a prospect, I think the best comparison to Tsatas is our own Stephenson.

Stephenson started his year up forward, but had that stretch in the middle where he was getting the ball 30+ times a game. They both were that inside/outside receiver type with great speed and shaky disposal. I struggle to think of any other accumulators at u18 level with that combination of ball-winning and speed.

Tsatas has a much better frame that suggests he’ll have an easier time transitioning to becoming a full time midfielder, and there’s also more upside to his disposal when compared to Stephenson.
