Geez, he's got some guns

 

[relapse]

based on the stuff I've seen he's Lever future captain material, guys like that are very pickable.

could easily go through the middle with some development under the belt.

He might be pickable, but he would have done little to cover our midfield dearth.

He's another Brodie Smith and while I am sure he will be a great player there was no way that we were not going to take a genuine mid at our pick.

I have a feeling that it was between Gallucci and Venables at our first pick. West Coast taking Venables ended up making the decision for us as to which one we would take.

 

[Huntercrow]

In ten years people will be looking back at this thread so be careful what highs and lows you predict.

Having said that Gallucci will be the greatest player of all time.

So I suggest the opposite will happen

We bid on perryman who's a defender

We bid on perryman who's a defender

Midfielder mate that can play half back or forward. Will be midfielder at AFL level.

 

[mistylake]

Is he our attempt at replacing dangerfield?

Reading the short description it looks that way.
You could see dangers strength the first game when he stood up with 3 guys hanging off him. Let's wait and see.

 

[GreyCrow]

Quads of the gods, insane vertical leap, elite nickname

Gotta trust the process

Strong core?

 

[AdelaideFan14]

We bid on perryman who's a defender

At any club other than GWS, he'd be a midfielder. At GWS, he's probably a HBF who could rotate through their midfield.

 

[mistylake]

Wow, how exciting does this sound.

Sounds a bit Dangerfield like but without the narcissism and a good kick.

 

[skittlebrew]

The Gooch!!!

 

[Huntercrow]

Go back and watch James Sellar's U16s and U18s highlights compilation.

One name sprung to mind - W. Carey.

How'd that turn out?

Let's just see what happens.

We ended up with both!

 

[GreyCrow]

welcome, but I'm not gonna lie guys, 1:40 here I'm a little bit worried:

Nice work. His kicking style reminds me of that 6 year old kid that just throws it on the boot slam-style.

 

[MRB37]

Sounds like a good kid from that brief interview they put up. Looked super stoked to be drafted.

 

[Huntercrow]

Looks like a pretty exciting player, finally got that overhead marking mid.

PS For mine and I'm sure others sanity. Can we please not make anymore Douglas comparisons.

This is tough. You know they will drag Brownlow and Malcolm Blight votes from each other

 

[ams4crows]

I loved the burst of speed out of the pack to get clear but slows to kick accurately.

Looks a good prospect, hoping he makes it!!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Can someone explain the hype for Berry? He's a flanker which is something we seemingly have more than enough of already

Our poster Bicks hyped him up so much as an aggresive midfielder .....when in fact he will be a HBF at AFL level

but but in Bicks we trust?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

but but in Bicks we trust?

Which Bicks?

 

[Scorpus]

Watching some of his highlights, and his contested work reminds me a bit of Andrew Swallow in his prime, especially his stance while collecting the ball

 

[WaynesWorld19]

My view was i was neither elated or upset with the pick .......my only concern was yet another 180cm player (is it 180 or 183?) ......midfield is all one height and body shape

This was somewhat appeased with the selection of the "Bull" Poholke .....we do how ever need either Greenwood or CEY to standup this season

Gallucci provides that breakaway speed from the contest that we currently lack ......that's probably why Betts was tried on the odd occasion in the centre square

So missed Venables / Brody ......and the club preferred the known midfielder Gallucci over the unknown midfielder Hayward

yeah this is a concern I have. Not so much for Gallucci only being 180cm, but we still dont have a stand out tall midfielder.

Watching the draft though, most of the guys labelled mids were around that 184-187cm mark. There were a lot of them, but few mids around the 190+cm mark.

Nickname will be

 

[Sanders]

At any club other than GWS, he'd be a midfielder. At GWS, he's probably a HBF who could rotate through their midfield.

So he's not a mid, he's a defender who is looking to transition to midfield

 

[FR0GGY]

family orientated?

wuh-oh, where do his girlfriend's parents live?

i thought he was saying that about the recruiters and the club?
