THE GRESH - Rising Star Nominee

[Glen Buterol]

I take it you've missed the 3,839 posts on a bloke called Begley?

sorry I only just took you off ignore

Where would Gresh go in the draft if re-done?

1. Weitering
2. Parish
3. Mills
4. Gresham
5. Oliver

Top 5? Maybe throw in Hipwood or Schache? Hopper, Kennedy, Francis, Milera, etc haven't been given much opportunity.

Plus I was trying not to be biased. I actually think I'd have Gresh only behind Weitering. Mills I love and he will be a 250 game Enright type but he is a bit vanilla. Parish a scrappy type but lacks the x factor. Gresh has already proven to be a match winner kicking crucial goals in close games against Geelong and Essendung.

I've already said it on this forum when he first played some games at the start of this year but I have to say it again - How much does he play like Sam Mitchell(Hawks) with his natural ability to baulk, turn and kick with either foot. We've got ourselves a beauty, well done Trout!!

Not a bad draft was it.

I reckon Milera will surprise a few, so so classy with the ball, its ridiculous.

Yea he's a beauty. I still think Ablett is the best comparison. The way he hunches over, has a low centre of gravity, strong core and agility and ability to bounce back up like a cat.

Never mind his ability to toss people over his head when being tackled

We're less than a season in! I'm sure all the players taken ahead of Gresh will show things and most will turn into decent players.

Hopper for one is gonna be a freak. And I liked the looks of Rioli on Friday night.

Certainly pretty happy with the player we ended up with.

Silky and has a unique 1-2 ability where he finds space to receive out of nowhere.

Oliver, Gresh & Hopper are the first 3 I'd take.

Hipwood could be the best of the lot, like many others.

Weitering
Mills
Hopper
Parish
Gresham

Would be my order

 

[NarklesHelmet]

Comparing GAJ to Gresh when it comes to their first years isn't nuts at all. Anyone who watched young GAJ play knows that he started out with a pretty much identical role to Gresh. Gresh even moves in a similar way to him. Of course no one is saying they will end up the same players, more that, if we want Gresh to move into the midfield in the future we have a perfect career template to follow in GAJ.

Weitering shouldn't be topping those lists

Granted I've only seen him in Carlton's games against us, but he hasn't looked that impressive at all to me, don't see where the "best pick 1 in a decade" hype is coming from.

 

[Melksham2Siposs]

Weitering will be a best 22 player for the next decade, but with 3 picks in the top 12, massive let down if one isn't an out and out star.

Just for shits and giggles... Blues could have walked away with Oliver, Gresham & Milera.

Glad Jade is ours, and kind of want another first rounder to see if the hot streak can continue.

 

[JG22]

Gresh features on this weeks road to the draft podcast.
Looking forward to hearing from the great man.

Melbournes gonna be hard to beat

 

[Glen Buterol]

Weitering looks an absolute star. Straight into the AFL playing a key post as a teenager. For a bit of perspective compare him to Paddy in his first year.

Pretty unfair comparison, different positions and different body types.

Compare Weitering to any key defender in their first year then. Over the past 20 or so years has there been any that have transitioned to the AFL with such ease?

Daniel Talia.

 

[Glen Buterol]

Daniel Talia.

Ay? Talia played zero games in year one & didn't cement a spot in best 22 until year three. Weitering is far far superior as a first year player.

 

[BrianSpeaking]

IMO on form you'd say Weitering, Mills, Parish, Gresham but going forward I have Gresh over Parish, he oozes X factor and massive upside.
