Could be a good option for us. He’s an interesting player. He showed good agility for a big guy in Futures game that I saw last year. A few summers of gym sessions of course are needed as he’s very lightly build. Son of former Demon Darryl Cox so a good connection. On current picks, he’d be around the 18-20 mark and likely for Saints, Tigers or Lions. But if he was available at our pick, I’d definitely take him. 1 Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Dees getting a gun forward!!!!! 1 2 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Ollie Lord trained with the Dees and from what I saw in 2-3 sessions, and the Futures game last year, he reminded me of a young Tom Hawkins. But I would have liked to see more games to see if he was able to “get the footy more”. Probably a good draft pick in 60s or a rookie. Wouldn’t be disappointed to see him on board the Demons train but like all key positions youngsters, we’d have to be patient with development. 1 Quote
Pennant St Dee 13,458 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Not one for another 4 years but Subiaco Development Squad have got an absolute gun coming through. Malachi Champion, indigenous boy from Kalgoorlie small HFF, with pace, elite by foot, awareness, poise in traffic and fantastic decision maker. Watched him in training sessions and 2 games for the development squad last week and some of the things he did made a few keen track watchers stand up. Subiaco's talent manager had a grin like a Chesire cat. Champion has played vountry footy but is about to start at Aquinas College down in Perth next year definitely one to watch Edited October 9, 2020 by Pennant St Dee 2 1 Quote

Plays primarily forward but like Kossie and Ryan moves up the ground to he that link player. He's a small player compared to most of the boys but at 14 IMO will end up around the 180cm range. 2 1 Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 From another post, if JT had to turn sliders into diamonds, I’d go for #47-52 Rhyan Mansell, 20 yo running wing half forward from Tassie, SANFL WWT Eagles in 2020 #60s Patrick Walker 18yo (Tassie) yes another Tassie boy who showed in TSL senior footy - good composure and excellent skills, 188cms size. # 60s Ollie Lord , 18yo-(Sandringham) - project key forward. Trained with Dees over the summer and has makings of a AFL key forward 60s Will Bravo 18 yo (Dandenong) from the Stingrays footy factory, showed as an underager in 2019, his excellent goal kicking and pace and energy to forward group 1 Quote

Mt. Dee-Maaan 608 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 far out i hope we can pick up a hard-at-it small/mid.. someone like jack higgins with tidy skills, goal sense and pressure. not too hard surely?! Quote

Best type is Sam Berry but he is likely to be a pick in 30-35 and I’d rather a kid with good pace and run to develop. Don’t need another small mid imv Quote

Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Posted October 27, 2020 Not sure how the author of this piece can say that some of these players can make an immediate impact next season because most haven’t played this year. However, FWIW ... AFL Draft 2020: See which players are ready-made and will make an immediate impact next season 1 Quote

Hoping he stays under the radar. Should be available around pick 20. Nick Stevens is a country lad from Ballarat Rebels who is good mover with skills and footy smarts. Saw him in the Geelong Grammar v Melbourne Grammar game last year and he was a standout. Could be available around pick 30 Nick Stevens returned some good results in the draft testing. 2km time trial - 6m32s ; 20 metre sprint 2.97s. Combination of endurance and speed He has the footy ability and the athleticism needed for AFL Might be available around pick 26- 30 if we hold our 2nd round pick. HERE IS A BIG CALL. I think this kid might be the next Trent Rivers. ? Ps. Jack Carroll is also going to be a gun. Think Simon Black. 1 Quote
