????Does anyone know what the injury is/was?
If long and callow both make it as afl players, it may prompt a large rethink among recruiters. But if but we are the ones that will benefit from taking the risk of it pays off.its a mystery to me why things happen in the draft sometimes, he was touted as a top 30 pre season, killed it in his 4-5 games he played before injury, averaging 20-odd disposals and 2 goals a game playing 60/40 mid and forward, missed out on the state games because of injury and maybe clubs were a little worried about injury and maybe athleticism, as clubs usually over rate athletic qualities over bravery, determination, strength of will, footy IQ and footy Ability ect which i believe he has.

Kane Cornes will say we exploited the draftIf long and callow both make it as afl players, it may prompt a large rethink among recruiters. But if but we are the ones that will benefit from taking the risk of it pays off.
I genuinely can't believe he slipped to the rookie draft, his exposed form and physical traits surely make him worth a gamble somewhere in the national draft.Our big tank can run as well.

Yep, that's what caught my eye out of all that. Really excited to see the development of the new crop.Wow - definitely gone for running power this draft. Three of the top five* (including ties) in the time trial on the list now.
Have you seen him play, Davo-27 ?its a mystery to me why things happen in the draft sometimes, he was touted as a top 30 pre season, killed it in his 4-5 games he played before injury, averaging 20-odd disposals and 2 goals a game playing 60/40 mid and forward, missed out on the state games because of injury and maybe clubs were a little worried about injury and maybe athleticism, as clubs usually over rate athletic qualities over bravery, determination, strength of will, footy IQ and footy Ability ect which i believe he has.
Jono Brown will insist we exploited Free Agency...Kane Cornes will say we exploited the draft
Did we not? I remember us picking up a bloke who won a VFL and an AFL premiership in the space of a week. Name another club who's done that!Jono Brown will insist we exploited Free Agency...
The rest of the world was just lucky it wasn't an Olympic year or he'd probs have completed the Trifecta!Did we not? I remember us picking up a bloke who won a VFL and an AFL premiership in the space of a week. Name another club who's done that!
Not the Guerra laser boot I was hoping for but may be able to hit like him .Was literally going to post the same thing.
Patty Cripps tapes should be on repeat in young Neds house for the next 4 months.
Reminiscing about players from that era, I liken Ned to Kanga, John Kennedy Jr. A big body mid who usually played outside on flanks, could kick a bag when played forward, not super quick but athletic and could go all day, not flashy but versatile and dependable.With his all round game, bigger physique, decent to good hands in marking contests, forward nous, nice skills and balance, great tank for some repeat efforts, I'm going with a throwback Hawk for possible comparison.
We had a fella by the name of Russell Morris back in the 80's who coulda been anything his star shone so bright early in his career. Good size, could really get on the gallop leading up out of the forward line or run through the middle/wings, very nice mark, could slot a goal.......we had a star in the making.
Not KPP, not medium or small forward, just that tweener size who can do everything including tackle and go all day.

I think Bramble belongs on that list.Maginess, CJ, Moore, Ward and Long all have gargantuan tanks.
Bramble looks to have a freak engine. Keen to see him time trial. Connor macdonald is no slouch. Ran like a 6:10 2km which is top end. No yoyo test this year unfortunately.I think Bramble belongs on that list.
Downie & Phillips a tier below?
Can’t honestly remember that nick name but I do remember he had the speed to get away when needed. I think the other difference is that Ned seems more capable with overhead marking and could perhaps play the Gunners role down the track combining endurance and forward craft. Looking forward to monitoring his development in the pre season.Yup, very similar look. Only thing I'd differ on is that John could REALLY get on his bike and get clear of a contest with the ball when he wanted.
Didn't we call him 'racehorse' back in the day? Maybe I'm mis-remembering....
Geoff Ablett was racehorseYup, very similar look. Only thing I'd differ on is that John could REALLY get on his bike and get clear of a contest with the ball when he wanted.

I am also really looking forward to a more offensive, high scoring game under Sam, even if we get burned here and there with poor skill/ decision making.Thats what noticed about the mids we brought in. They will all be able to play that run and gun style Sam loves. Think this is also why we overlooked sonsie. Poor engine. Add the new blokes to our current runners and that's some serious petrol tickets
