Sibosado - Possible Pre-Season #1 Draft Pick from 2008

I desperately want Sibosado.

He looks and moves similar to Buddy.

He is a very good pack mark, great long booming kick, has great awareness, can kick a bag of goals and just seems to have forever when he has the ball.

He would greatly complement Watts.

He is a tall KPP indiginous player who has talent, X-factor and magic written all over him.

We really need to draft another tall KPP forward in this draft.

Barry, please get him.

 

What I really want is people to read other threads before posting a new thread about a player who others have already been talking about all morning!!!

Sorry just saw similar thread.

The only query on him that i have heard is his endurance and workrate.

He didn't complete the beep test or the 3km time trial at the draft camp.

 

Strikes me as a lazy footballer with enormous talent.....

If the talent far out-weighed the attitude he would already be wearing a clubs colours after this morning....

Big ???????? if you ask me....

Everyone we get in the PSD, if not mature age, will be a risk.

We went safe with every pick... all midfielders, small forwards and backmen...

Sibosado would probably be VERY speculative, but at least there's upside.


I totally agree.... I am not saying that I don't want him at the club..... I think he has enormous potential....

I just think there is obviously reasons why he would not have been picked up in todays draft... I realise we went safe with every pick, and I am stoked with our selections.... But from the footage I have seen and the obvious similarity between Sibosado and Franklin, I am still shocked as to why he was not snapped up.... Even late???

Thought I was watching Buddy. There must be something wrong with him as he can clearly play. If he is not a drug addict or a murderer I would be having a very good look at him. Could see him as a future marquee player in the Nik Nat mould.

I am thinking it is an attitude problem..... Or a reluctance to leave the NT....

Doesnt he go to school at Xavier and played with the Oakleigh Chargers?

Yep! I'm on board. If only because he runs to block after disposing by hand (instinctively). We have precious few who do that. The rest is icing!


at the end of the day, he was overlooked 87 times (or however picks there are) at todays national draft.

Buddy Franklin - Mark II

Amazing that a club didn't use a 5th or 6th rounder on him :o

Obviously he has issues.

I'd love to take the risk on him at pick 1 in the PSD. Who cares if it backfires as he's effectively an 8th round draft pick.

Exactly. Which means he has big personal issues, because bloody hell he looks like Buddy.

For a club not to take a punt with a 6th round pick on someone who can clearly move and play, is a real worry.

So yes, look at him, but talent is not the one factor and if he has issues where he'll go missing after a week of training, or he has issues with substance abuse, or he has a court case hanging over his head, etc etc... than what's the point?

Cousins is a proven quantity and didn't get a second chance, although he can clearly play and will help any club looking to win a flag in the next couple of seasons (you know you're in trouble when Leigh Brown gets a second chance and you don't! :D). That's how scared AFL clubs are to touch anyone with any personal issues.

The PSD is for the low risk - high reward types and looking at that footage - that is exactly what he is.

I definitely think we should go tall in the PSD and this bloke looks as good as any other at this stage.

And for those that say 'every club overlooked him' I say Stef Martin isn't a bad FB prospect...

Yeah, i think he's worth a punt.

I agree that every club has overlooked him in 7 rounds of the national draft AND that they did that for a very good reason.

I don't know what that reason is any more than anyone else on here.

But in the PSD its worth taking a gamble on a kid that cold very well buck the trend once he gets in the system & thrive.

Drafting is about calculated risk & obviously the risk was too high for a ND pick.

Gaining another month to have a look at him & other players while you still get first pick of the bunch is one reason to not take him at the tail end of the ND.

Just because he has perceived issues doesn't mean he should be tarred with a "won't ever make it" brush.

Stranger things have happened.


He didn't get picked up so he's a drug addict or has "big personal issues" :blink:

You lot should be ashamed of yourselves, and probably sued for defamation :angry:

According to someone on bigfooty he tested very well in the psyche tests at draft camp, one of the best this year apparently. The big question mark is that he apparently goes missing for long periods. People seemed to rate him anywhere from top 25, Emma Q included, to a rookie pick up.

Hopefully he'll fall in between that in the PSD, preferably pick 1 :lol: It'll be interesting to see who we invite to train with us

I was actually thinking along the possible lines of poor work ethic, poor skill in a particular area, inconsistency, lack of focus, degenerative medical condition, poor attitude to authority.. something like that.

I never considered drugs. I'd think (hope) a kid hoping to be drafted would not be that stupid.

In fact, I think anyone who'd consider it at that stage wouldn't have the dedication to being drafted required to even be in contention.

Wona got ovelooked 90 times as well at last years draft.....Maybe clubs thought WONA didn't have the right attitude re his fitness.....mabe this guy is in the same mould.....

He has the talent (just like Wona)....There is no doubt he will be picked up in the PSD or rookied by a club for sure...The Dees should.

My sentiments exactly. The PSD is for taking a punt that has the potential to pay off big.

Just like last year when we took a big fella that'd only played 2 seasons of footy.

How is that this guy didn't get picked up. From all reports he's Buddy like and after watching the video I'd have to agree. I'll be very happy to add him to our rapidly improving list. Is it just me or did we just "Draft the draft down"


Read earlier he was 192cms but only 78kgs. Thats abit light I think. Cant remember the source. Probably afl.com or bigfooty links :P

Hang on guys. If as Bailey said we are only going to draft youth, then whoever we take in the PSD will have been overlooked 87 times. So what. Does that mean we don't take anyone because they were all overlooked?

Just to take it one more stupid step, why draft someone in the 6th round if they were overlooked in the 5 previous rounds.

Haha. Thats it. Davey, Cox & Hird suck. Clearly Jack Watts is the best player in the comp at the moment.

All this personal issues talk has done is expose the bigots.

Take a punt on someone from left field, thats what the PSD is for.

I never considered drugs. I'd think (hope) a kid hoping to be drafted would not be that stupid.

In fact, I think anyone who'd consider it at that stage wouldn't have the dedication to being drafted required to even be in contention.

FYI - Draftees are teenagers. Teenage kids experiment with drugs (& alcohol (for those that need to distinguish between the two to justify their own lifestyle ;))) . It doesn't mean they're stupid or lack dedication, it means they're teenagers. All the best to them.

I have no issues with taking him in the PSD, none whatsoever.

But it does seem very very strange that so many clubs passed on him given that he is clearly a very good player. I don't think that you'd pass on a player in the 5th or 6th round just because they 'go missing' sometimes, or they haven't got the right endurance or even if the desire is questionable, because chances are anyone you get with those late picks is going to have problems and downsides, otherwise they'd be top 20 picks.

So for all 16 clubs to choose not to draft him, not even late in the draft, to me seems very suspicious. Maybe I'm wrong and the recruiters just forgot about him, but given he was rated top 25 by some it doesn't seem likely that he just slipped under the radar, in the way that say Martin or Aussie did.

Just curious to know why he is where he is given that his football ability is fairly impressive.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
