[Bad Seed]

What are the wraps on Tsatas? I don't see him as a top 10 talent based on today's showing. Very poor disposal and terrible defensive work rate. How is he touted as a top 5 pick?

Really? I thought he was top 5 on the ground quite comfortably - I thought his disposal led to a lot of great scoring opportunities for VM.

 

[andleanback]

What even is Harley Reid at the next level? Won’t be monstering grown men like that in the forward line. Is he just a rebounding defender?

Luke hodge .

Was better than Ashcroft who is considered the no. 1 pick.

 

[eaglespremiers]

How do you think the top defensive prospects went? I have not seen many games.

Hayes looked quite mobile and moved around the ground well and took some intercept marks. But did not seem to be marking Cadman. Though later in the game seemed to be outmuscled by Reid.

Weddle seemed to do a good job marking Cadman. He looked bigger than I thought he would be. Seemed to be a good pure defender.

I would not mind the Swans picking up either of them. Both seem versatile and mobile enough to play initially as a third tall while they develop physically. Gruzewski obviously looked exciting as potentially a tall utility.

Not sure I'd give marks to Weddle, Cadman was a presence all game.
Anderson beat Humphrey several times in the second half.
Reid was fantastic but would be a top prospect next year.
Hayes was beaten by Reid in the final and almost lost them the game.

He's like a mix of Hayden Young and Dusty. Just a disgustingly talented player

What has Van es done during the year he was ordinary today

 

[Jack Richards]

Genuinely would have loved to have seen how Wardlaw would have gone.

 

[giantroo]

Genuinely would have loved to have seen how Wardlaw would have gone.

I'd say he would've got BOG honours like he has in the past games he has played.

 

[Davo-27]

i had Harley Reid in my top 2 prior to the champs in May/June or something (i had him top 2 in June 2021 as well), glad people caught up

Would hope whoever takes him can get those hammies right

Never seen someone dominate so much at junior level. He use to play under 12’s on the Friday night and then play under 14’s the next day and it was like he brought his own footy.

Also he comes from a very nice family

 

[Red Black and Blue]

What a banger game that would have barely helped the recruiters divide the top handful as they were all so good.

 

[Rusty Beam]

The one where you agreed when I said he's Dusty 2.0?

Kids insane, would probably go as the first open Pick this year

Called it at the start of June on our board.

Definitely the closest in terms of the whole package to Dusty… since Dusty.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

In that last quarter I went from Cadman to Sheezel a couple of times for pick 1 and I still think we'll take Wardlaw.

Is that a risk you're prepared to take?
Also it kind of feels like you already have a number of good inside mids that fit the Wardlaw mould.

I'm not sure we do long term. Cunnington hasn't long left, Anderson probably won't get a deal, Phillips a mystery for now. If they think he's the best player there they'll draft him.

 

[DERO]

The Filth Wizard did Jefferson Ford get a kick?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I think Cadman is the right move. Going the KPF was the move that set Clarkson up for success, timing and list build seems right, I think he'll try to mirror it. Seems compatible type to Larkey unlike the others you have, has star power that Xerri, CCJ and Comben seem to lack. Best available is questionable but the fit is too good.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

What did everyone else make of Humphreys' game?

Not sure I am that keen taking him with our first pick after seeing some of his disposal, which was already flagged as an issue.

Should've gotten more of a run in the midfield, shouldn't have been made a main target up forward like he was

 

[The Prosecutor]

Still saw enough to see he has all the ingredients to be a dominant presence in 3-4 years. A similar growth trajectory to Petracca.

Depending on how the picks before us pan out, I'm leaning towards wanting Essendon to take him.

Yes Hawks took Buddy and Roughead early in Clarkson’s tenure but they then also picked up Dowler and Thorp as pick #6s the following 2 drafts. It’s more hit and miss with the talls (as above) so could see Clarkson looking to bring them in through trades.

 

[Wearmouth]

He is exactly like Hayden Young was in his first up games as a bottom ager. They both stood out like dogs balls.

They both will be 200 gamers. Provided they remain injury free.

I think Sheezel is in the conversation massively too, I know some on our board would have liked to have seen him spend a quarter in the midfield.

Side note, happy with how Harvey finished the game.
