Kevin Sheehan reveals his top NAB AFL Draft Prospects: Tall forwards/rucks

There’s such a shortage of tall forwards and rucks that Shifter’s covering both categories in one article.

If you want a tall then next year’s the year for it. There’s a 199cm tall from SA called Harry Lemmy who will be all the rage next year as a key position forward prospect. 

 

Perception is everything when we talk about footballers. 

Here’s a comparison drawn by Twitter poster Joshua Kay

Nic Naitanui

194 H&A games
33 Brownlow votes

Shane Mumford

4 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

nic is a 3-time all oztrayan as well, plus likely has at least two years left in his body

But they both had significant impact on the outcome of games for their respective sides and one a hell of a lot cheaper than the other

Dave Grohl is a big fan of young Josh and has already nicknamed him "Monkey".

Was he nicknamed by "shifter" Sheehan?

Fron SEN on Blake Howes and Josh Rentsch

Blake Howes

“Wingman from the Sandringham Dragons. 190cm and pretty athletic,” Twomey said.

“He’s somewhere around the 30 mark for me.”

Josh Rentsch

“He’s a big key forward, a strapping lad from the Ballarat region,” Twomey said.

“He kicks it a mile and reminds me of a little bit of Tim Membrey. He just gets the ball, clunks it and kicks goals.

“He won the Morrish Medal (tied with Flynn Lakey).

“He’s probably a second half of the draft prospect.”

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
