Jeez you'd love an Errol Gulden running around Adelaide Oval.

 

[FR0GGY]

So we are only allowed to pick one, or maybe two, mids each year?

Wouldn’t that be nice!

 

[Footypie32]

It almost seems like we're planning to have a bunch of players that can rotate between the forward line and midfield.

Pedlar, Berry, Rachele, Shoenberg, McHenry, Soligo, Taylor, as well as Sloane and Keays.

Errol Gulden is a way better kick than this bloke WW.

 

[Scorpus]

Apparently we hade Soligo high on our talent order and everyone agreed he was a good pick, according to Hamish

What’s the story with the trade the AFL blocked?

Sounds like the AFL needs to sleep on it and come up with a creative excuse tomorrow.

Some were saying Melbourne were trying to trade out their future 2nd or 3rd and weren't allowed to because they already traded out their future first.

There is some rule preventing you from live-trading for a pick you previously traded away. Supposedly it's to stop clubs from gaming the system in terms of bids, trading out picks before a bid and then trading them back in again. Of course, you could just trade out your picks before a bid and then trade in some other pick. Seems half-baked to me.

If Nicks game plan is to keep speed in the game by having greater numbers that can play through the middle then this seems a good move

My thoughts too. There is plenty of strategic intent in our selections to implement a particular game style

 

[Golumless]

And Ben Keays got a well deserved elevation to the main list.

Makes sense, it's a nice change from previous years where we had the crouch brothers stuck in the middle for 90% of the game as they can't play anywhere else.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Good luck to the kid. The fact it's a little out of left field doesn't concern me.

Which is why we tried to trade out of the pick I guess.

I'm not familiar with him, but disappointed we passed on Draper. Hopefully this is a Gollant vs Taheny situation.

We might need to replace Van Berlo as midfield coach if we want to see a change of philosophy

Yes seems a typical AFL thought bubble that gets nowhere near achieving what it wants to and causes problems elsewhere. The AFL is too political to work effectively in areas like this.

Sounds like a classic half baked AFL rule that is applied only to about half the clubs at the discretion of AFL House.

 

[Crowboto]

Crows fan I believe with Sloane being his favourite. Noice

I think you will find he supports Richmond. Listen to the commentator in the highlights package about 30 secs in.

Don’t be fooled by Soligo’s stature, for the hard-working on-baller is terrific at the contest and astute at feeding the ball out to his teammates on the outside. The Dromana product, who’s drawn comparisons to Lions star Jarryd Lyons

, averaged just 17 disposals from his first three NAB League matches before ramping that up to 27 disposals from his last four matches. Importantly, Soligo kicked three goals from those last four matches and averaged six tackles per match. He also turned heads with some long-range goals representing Vic Metro in Under 19s challenge matches and racked up 17 touches for Richmond’s VFL side in an impressive cameo against the Giants. A chance to sneak into the second round of the draft.

Moves a lot like a Mini-Me Shaun Higgins .....very calm under pressure, and doesn't get rushed ....has potential

Nickname Soggy or Sao?

At the very least the writing is on the wall for a few of our forwards.

Jimmy Rowe and Murph would be shaking in their boots

 

[thebirdman 24]

Why would we draft Rowe so early only last year (2nd round?) for him to toil in the SANFL?

I'm not his biggest fan but you'd hope he has some improvement in him to become an AFL quality player.
