Not automatic top 22, but will be a good punt at the price we will have to pay. 

[Dee tention 611]

Good size. 

I havnt seen him play but if he has outside run and can push forward he definitely adds to to the team.

I have a gut feel Balic would be an excellent get for MFC.

I've seen noting in his "highlights" than screams...must get.

Seems just another good VFL player..

Huge difference between mixing it up in the western carnival aka  the wawful, and being effective at AFL 

Hope the club isnt being too  rosey here. Still I suppose someone has to take BK's place  

[Dee tention 611]

99% sure he will be a Demon in 2018.

Compared to Scott Pendlebury as a player and coached by Justin Plapp at Sandringham Dragons.

Looks like he played with one hand at times with his wrist injury before being drafted. All behind him now.

Dees have the inside edge here.

Pick 45.

At this point the only player not compared to Pendlebury as a junior was Pendlebury...

For those who haven't seen him play, the reason he's so highly rated as he just has time when he gets the ball in traffic. That's the Pendles comparison. His kicking was terrible but he's worked hard on improving it and it is quite good when not under pressure (not helpful). Doesn't have speed or break away speed like Oliver and Trac but does have serious Scully endurance. 

He is something different than what we have but considering we are a little slow at times and really we only have 4? Spaces on our list, maybe not the best fit. 

[beelzebub 23,242]

If hes that bloody good why is he getting away ?

Homesick..really !!

So the guys mentally brittle ???

Yeah...lets add another one ffs

Never seen him play.

Not sure if he has outside pace.

Certain his injury problems are over.

99% certain he is ours.

Gotta love this site at this time of year.

Nah! Never seen him play. Watched a few u18 highlights just b4 my most recent post though. 

I dont think I mentioned anything about outside pace. Do you mean outside run? Maybe I was referring too run and carry. ?

Yeah he said he was over his wrist injury in the video I watched. He sounds like an honest lad. And yes I believe him.

In my opinion after a little research and connecting the dots. Yes I believe he is now going to be a Demon. I found an extra 1%. 

99%+1%= 100%

Welcome Harley Demon! Brrrm brrrm...

Look at what you said.

"If hes that bloody good why is he getting away ?

Both are using the homesick reason and both are getting away. So therefore Lever is mentally brittle. You never said anything about how many games they played, you just called him out because of "getting away, being homesick and therefore being mentally brittle".

I thought you knew something of football. That youd trot out such an assinine comparison quite frankly beggars belief. The background and qualifications to both circumstances couldn't be more different than chalk and cheese.

You are allowed to admit you are wrong at least once, it is not too difficult.

Stop changing the goalposts by bringing in new criteria.

You made a statement, so stand by it. 

You also don't need to try and belittle my footy knowledge, inferring I know nothing about the game,  it doesn't help your position or win an argument.

You chose to change the nature of the context and you full well know it.

One has used his 'homesickness' to facilitate 'indefinite leave'  . The other's simply an old ruse. You know it.

One has the application to to job and club of moment to do his job as vesr he can. The other...god knows. All too much.

If you choose to make argument..do it properly. Dont posey pick to suit. Youve been caught out. Sort ofstuff a cheap tabloid would employ.

As to admitting wrong. When ever your ready.

I can't type properly as I am laughing so hard.

He's another one who probably couldn't hurt to take with a late pick.  He's had a lot of injuries but he's meant to be a decent ball-user.  Is he any worse than some of our fringe players?  Worst case we give up a pick in the 50s for a Casey player.  No big deal.

He's probably a better option than Kennedy, JKH etc as depth with the chance he could become best 22. Worth a punt for a later round pick for sure.

Is he any better? Not entirely sure what the upside is in taking him. Some great players have been picked up in the third round. He's not going to one of them if he can't crack it for regular Freo games.

Or even free up a spot for category B players like Maynard and Smith, who've both shown early signs of potentially cracking into best 22.

We should only be trading for players who you could imagine playing round 1 in the seniors next year.

[Diamond_Jim 12,390]

I assume it would be a two year contract.

Would prefer a one year contract with an option to extend but that does not seem to be the norm.

He's been injured pretty much the whole year.

Ta RM. But that's not a great sign in itself.

It's not, but give him a two year deal and spend year one rebuilding his body the way we want it.  He might come good.
