List Mgmt. Welcome Hamish Davis (Pick 65, 2024 National Draft)

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Our new safe as houses, workhorse 200+ game gut runnning winger.

The impressive stat is the final few games having an average of 6 tackles per game. That is elite for a wingman and shows he's happy to charge in and get his hands dirty and help the boys out. Its great that he doesn't avoid the contest and give him a few years and he might develop into a decent balanced mid

Yep. Attack on the ball, or opponent, isn't exactly something we've had in spades lately.

Small article in the west on Hamish and what he did in the offseason to prepare

I too watch a lot of the 2018 season but it hasn't seemed to impact my fitness unfortunately

This bit is hilarious

Hamish Davis put up strong form in the WAFL to earn an AFL recall late in the season. YES

How did this guy last to pick 60whatever?

As solid as they come off a wing. Could've done it all last year(his first season) too tbf

 

[Mudguts12]

Flies under the radar a bit but plays beyond his years. Im most impressed by his physicality I didn't think he was that type of player.

Thankfully a lot of clubs were put off by his kicking

I follow gridiron pretty closely and two of the most consistently good teams, the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles, have a reputation for nailing the draft, often by just sitting and waiting for highly-rated players to just fall into their laps while everyone says “how did this happen again?”

Anyway, I feel like that’s the type of draft we had last year. Allan was projected anywhere from 8-12 and we got him at 15; Shanahan was supposed to go in the early teens and we got him at 30, and Davis was a likely top 40 pick who fell to 65. Lo and behold they’re all best 23 players early in their second seasons.

Even Tom Gross, who hasn’t had the returns of the others yet, was regarded as a guy who would go between 25-40 and we grabbed him at 46. Just one of those years where the draft fell the right way and the Eagles managed to not overthink it and just took the best players available.

Its literally just that easy I guess

Even though his kicking is pretty average his defensive work with regards to tackling, spoiling and the like just makes up for it . A winger who racks up the defensive numbers he does is very unheard of .

Yep. For years we've tried to be the smartest in the room and grabbed players way ahead of where they were tipped to go (looking at you Chesser). It was great to see us pivot from that strategy for once.

Just like Cleveland with pro bowl qb sanders

Quietly putting together a great season so far.

Seems to cover a lot of ground, is good overhead, is taking a lot of intercept possessions, and is pretty good in the contest when its called for too.

Can't see him being dropped if uninjured.
