List Mgmt. Welcome Jobe Shanahan (Pick 30, 2024 National Draft)

[eaglespremiers]

Absolutely thrilled for this outcome.
Jobe has become a vital piece of our reboot and is a Pioneer to boot.

Like I keep saying, Vic Country boys/girls typically really enjoy the move to Perth. Number 9 has really only been that one outlier

 

[bs9594]

Easily one of the most exciting players on our list, glad we got him locked away quickly, and hope to see him kicking goals for us for years to come.

Yeah, Harley really hates it here.

Santa Maria!

Jobe Shanahan is the natural forward the Eagles need

From the small sample size in his debut AFL season – Jobe Shanahan kicked 12.9 from nine games – it is clear the Eagles have found a player with pick 30 in the 2024 national draft.

Imagine this guy with good service.

Serious, serious talent

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Richmond had like six chances to draft him, btw.

Like Telstra?

The play him in defence crew has been quiet for a while. A couple of uncharacteristic drops tonight but with the rubbish supply he gets my goodness he’s an amazing player who’s only just turned 19 playing on the best defender each week. Easily our best pick in terms of bang for buck in years.

 

[Boohemian]

Five shots on goal for three. Really impressive game tonight from Jobe. Doing it as the focal point with no assistance whatsoever.

Nah Like StarLink

I loved hearing Jobe saying those nice things ..Great young man to have here .

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Get this man some fro yo.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

13 shots at goal in the last 3 games is impressive for a kid in his first season.
Incredible marking ability for someone so inexperienced.
Surely he will improve his accuracy over time.

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

We just got rogered by Sydney, they scored more than double what we did, they had nearly 50% more inside 50s. Despite that, Jobe was the highest scorer on the ground. Dude is a freak, he's gonna win the rising star next year. 40+ goals for sure.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Imagine how good he'll be next season when:

• He's had an actual pre season
• He's put on some more muscle and gotten fitter
• He starts playing as second fiddle to Waterman and not taking the #1 defender as an 18yr old each week.

12 goals from 9 games understates just how good he was. 18yr old taking the best defender, playing forward for the worst team of all time with a collection of spuds delivering him the football.

I don't want to go early but he looks a genuine gem, comfortable playing senior footy since the day he walked into the club.



And for our Tuggers friends...

 

[Shifty1]

Already love this kid. Can't wait until he puts on another 5-10 kg of muscle next preseason and learns to improve his body position on contests. No idea how every other club overlooked him.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Should be playing backline in the WAFL tho.

 

[Cuzz09]

Its a shame Waterman was injured as it would've taken pressure off the kid but saying that he may not have even got a game or only a couple.

 

[FKASC]

Its a shame Waterman was injured as it would've taken pressure off the kid but saying that he may not have even got a game or only a couple.

Might not have kicked as many either - he’s 100% been the single focal point in recent weeks whereas he wouldn’t get that service with Waterman playing.

Waterman seems to play best with no competition so how we balance things with him back will be important

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

I'm super impressed with him, absolute bargain where we got him
He's got a great frame to put on muscle, some strength / speed and hopefully retain his agility
His hands are ELITE, though he uncharacteristically dropped a mark on our wing / 50 that he would gobble up
also his forward craft is quite advanced
and he glides along the ground like quarters said
The fact that a lot of commentators are gushing over him already shows you they can see the potential already

NM should have traded their first pick this year for this guy, not Whitlock.

Someone may correct me on this, but pretty sure he has also played every single game this year (WAFL and AFL) which shows impressive durability for a young KPF

Might be one of the reasons why @domsheedflog hasn't been sighted lately.

I saw that "drop", I thought it was a glitch in the matrix, so I checked it on replay....it was just out of his reach and hit his fingertips.

 

[THE A5]

Good chance for next years rising star as he only player 9 games
