Opinion Time for Ben Davis

[Pugsley]

I believe this poor lad has suffered from injury since he has been on our list. Finally, overcomes them and kicks 3 for our Snaffle side on the weekend.

Has great footy nous. I think its time to give the lad a run to see what he has. We can't catch a break and sink any lower at the minute.

Harry Dear for Jerka too please.

 

[Smoooothy]

i'm sold

 

[Scorpus]

Not quite ready for AFL, but he's probably close given our injury list. Will be very easy to find a spot for him, given Mackay is playing.

 

[spenze]

Not ready, wouldn't be upset if they put him in, think he has a lot of talent

 

[CrowinNT]

I've been watching him for a while when I can. Not live. I didn't watch the second half of SANFL on the weekend. Missed his work
I don't think that he is ready
Good to flag a thread for him though.

JJ won't be dropped.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Pass. We need players with aggression and who can win contested ball not another stick figure

EDIT: unless he's replacing Mackay.

 

[Tex200]

Prob not ready. Suspect also they would baulk at playing him in same forward line as Fogarty - suddenly a very inexperienced forward line.

But you can always find excuses not to play young talent - serious X factor, would love to see him in, think he will elevate to the level

 

[Bazz_27]

Id struggle to believe he wasn't as ready as Poholke who has been one of our most underwhelming debutants in years.

David Gallagher wins that award.

 

[Coopers]

Well, he cant be any worse than appx 20 of the 22 who were out there on Sunday.

 

[Bicks]

Not ready, has some serious X factor that's not even up for debate but needs more time in the weights room, would get brushed aside too easily by the bigger, stronger bodied AFL players where pressure comes at you a lot faster than the SANFL.

That sounds like a certain near-200 game player...

John Meesen's first game for Adelaide was the worst debut game I have ever witnessed from an AFC player by a country mile.

 

[CrowinNT]

If anyone has any footage highlights draft and post draft let's put them up here.
Or a link to the draft file. These things are a tad difficult for me

Well that certain player still cracks in at every contest that comes his way.

So is Davis soft like Atkins or hard like Mackay

 

[Bicks]

Somewhere in between currently.

And it would be nice just for a change to have player discussion where Mackay's names not brought into it from some angle.

Now a project manager. You are right. A never was.

Well he's #16 for games played in our history. I think there will be a lot of comparisons between draftees and club legends like Mackay in years to come.

Sits right between Van Berlo, Reilly, Burton and Sloane in that list too

 

[mistylake]

Position he plays? Looks like a winger type or hff

 

[Redleg Crow]

Recent history suggests we'll be doing well to get 2 from the draft to play 50+ games, 2016 was a big draft class , so maybe we could get 3.

Gallucci looks the most likely, Poholke at least is into the "could be chance", who then? Davis, Sig or Himmelberg?



Also 2015 looks good - Milera, Doedee and Greenwoood should all play 50+

 

[Tex200]

Position he plays? Looks like a winger type or hff

He's a 187cm mid sized forward who plays tall thanks to his overhead marking skills.

Tough match up.

 

[SuperBashBros]

Skills looked okay in that package. What happened since Bicks? Struggling to pick up on the pace after his injuries?
