List Mgmt. Welcome Tom Gross (Pick 46, 2024 National Draft)

[suntagonal]

I'm very excited about this young mid.

Huge wraps on him at the beginning of 2024, and playing alongside Jagga and FOS probably didn't get as much of the limelight.

Midfielders everywhere: Top 10 draft prospects to watch in 2024

Need a midfielder? This might be the draft crop you've been asking for! It's an on-baller-heavy early top 10 propect for the 2024 AFL Draft, with a couple of father-sons and another Gold Coast academy propect featuring, writes Jasper Chellappah.

Tom Gross Draft Profile

An explosive midfielder-forward whose crash-and-bash approach and work rate make him a highly competitive prospect.

central.rookieme.com

"Gross has the potential to be a top 10-15 player out of this year’s draft crop, which says a lot given how deeply talented it is. He features among an array of unique midfielders with varying weapons, his being explosive speed and a highly combative nature. With a little refinement to his finishing touch he could be a highly damaging prospect at the top level, one who contributes a classic 20-and-two stat line each game."

Another steal of the draft and will end up a better balanced mid than Jagga Smith.

Can’t wait to see this guy play. Hopefully able to keep his chin up playing in the Beagles

 

[kane249]

His write ups sound a bit like how Daniel Kerr used to play

 

[Eaglemaniac]

This is the player I’m most keen to see from our recent draft picks.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Just needs to tidy up his kicking a tiny bit and he'll be pretty good.

What happened to Kade Herbert? He wasn’t drafted?

Gross should be a long-term player. He's deceptively strong and powerful, his endurance definitely needs works though.

I had a look at his CTL and VM Under 18s stats and he ranks very highly in score assists and score involvements, usually that's a very good sign you have a player

 

[Happy Mastenator]

What good are you if you can’t give updates on draft randoms!

 

[fullbull]

It’s about time this young man’s thread gets a bump. Genuinely excited about what he’s going to bring to our side. Sounds like today’s performance is another very good step in the right direction. What a steal he may end up being!

My bad for not bumping as his sponsor. Thanks for the assist.

This bloke's going to take the AFL world by storm, no doubt. Clubs will be wondering how he slipped to pick #46 and Eagles supporters will be thankful Matty Clark had the foresight to split pick 3 so we had the additional pick to nab Tommy boy.

 

[FKASC]

Looking forward to seeing him played off a half forward flank for 6-7 touches

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Has to debut next week. We need something, anything.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Debut coming up, we need inside mids who can win the ball and tackle.

 

[DanWCE]

Has to debut next week. We need something, anything.

If Graham gets rubbed out he just may. Hall will be in the mix as well.

Whether we have to make other changes due to Govs injury that unlocks some forward or back half positional movement will be the real interest. Think Mini got the balance wrong in this one but he'll learn.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Hope he debuts this week.
Don't mind him & Bo debuting, but he's ahead if they just choose one.
Also more of a position of need for us.

Yeah Bo only looks likely if Gov is out and even then I think Brocks got runs on the board to come in. Looked really good in the WAFL, picked off heaps of footy to set us back up.

 

[WCEswift]

Honestly just debut 2 or 3 if it's gross Allan and Brock, let both gross and Allan get a run on ball, they're both quick competitive monsters, if kids on debut out play the regulars, it's damning

That's why you should keep feeding the kids into any side.

Reminds the older players that pressure is there. And the enthusiasm of youth lifts everyone.

 

[bzparkes]

Melbourne debuted 6 players against GWS and was their best performance of the year.

I dunno why clubs are so hesitant to do it.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Finding out Graham didn't get suspended

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Needs to be in the afl side asap, and I shouldn’t have to say it but it’s West Coast so I will - play him in the midfield!

 

[fullbull]

Let’s go Grossy! Well deserved debut this weekend. Go well young fella, hope this is the first of 200+ games, 5 Brownlows, 10 premierships and a quality career highlights package in the blue and gold!

 

[RookiePick]

Good news at last!

Go well Grossy!

 

[bzparkes]

Odds shortening for a WCE win now that the future GOAT has been named.
