 Here's the video, I think the part that got me the most excited is in the first couple of mins when he's on Richmonds VFL team, bounces off 2 blokes inside 50 and finds the teammate instead of blazing away. Physically he's big enough to play.

That was the moment for me. Clearly has the body and appetite for the contest, but the class and poise to match

Really excited to watch him play at the G

Windsor has excellent hands and decision making in tight. I think he will be an excellent midfielder once he gets the body strength.

I much prefer having left footed and right footed wingmen, because it allows us to move the ball more quickly around the boundary. Langdon, Sharp, Winsor and Lindsay give us a few options for the wing.

You'd think langers is a lock for one wing.

So of that lot it would have to be Lindsay taking the other wing if they went with a right left combo.

Who played the other wing last season?

Windsor in the main.

They could use Langdon as a high forward as the ANB replacement and have Windsor, Lindsay and Bowie compete for the wings.

Bowza coming onto Eddie’s wing in this scenario is an instant win for our decision making/delivery into the forward line but I wonder whether he has the thank for that role?

Bloody hell, check the rig on this 18yo in the training camp rowing images. He's ready to go R1. Look out Riv and Spaz, the new calendar man is in town.

I saw the photo and he is ripped. He will be bloody hard to tackle at his size. Genuinely can’t wait for him to debut.

Unfortunately spargo is too small for the game and doesn’t compensate this with other skills. 

Had a chat to the head recruiter at another club today and he really liked our picks. They didn’t have an early pick and didn’t put a lot of thought into the top of the draft but he had Langford and Smith as his top picks. He also liked Lindsay and thinks he has a good head on his shoulders.

I get given the list of the final rating of all Draftees by an AFL club the morning of the draft. 
This particular club didn’t have a selection on night one, in fact, weren’t particularly active in the Draft this year due to trading players in.

They rated Jagga Smith the best player in the Draft.  In fact, 6 of their 8 analysts who watch Coates league games, rated Smith 1.  
In their “aggregated” ratings list they had Smith 1, Ashcroft 2, Langford 3.  
They had Murphy Reid a lot higher than he went, Taj Hotton a bit higher, and Travaglia a bit lower than he went. 
They rated Xavier Lindsay right about where he got picked. 
They tried to get up the board to get Ollie Hannaford, but couldn’t do a deal. 
Interestingly, they classified Riak Andrew & Ricky Mentha as not Draftable.

As an addendum, this recruiter was not as complimentary about our picks when we drafted Jefferson.

That can't be right...some experts on here who have never seen him play rate him very highly & think we made a huge mistake in not taking him.

 

Edit: it's good to have an opinion but at least it should be a little bit informed. Our club recruiters who have a good record of picking talent didn't take Riak & now 'goodwindees' tells us another clubs experts don't rate him.

They could be totally wrong of course and the kid could go on to have a great career but you have to trust our recruiting department especially when all you are going on is the vibe.

Anyway, good luck to the 2 kids mentioned above I hope they do a Teddy Whitten to those who doubt them, particularly Ricky.

So Geelong 🤣

I don't like that the Blues got another A+er.

The Rolling Stones started out as a Blues cover band, so Jagga to Carlton seems like a natural fit.

Just feel comfortable in the knowledge that we got 2 to add to the one we got last year 'Adam'...

I didn't want to push it 'Macca', might have gotten 'Adam' a bit too excited.

I'm also one to have high hopes for Kolt.

...we've certainly drafted well.

There's a lot of hope involved and I rarely make big projections but if we had a Demonland award for 'Most Promising' then the Duke, the Kolt, XL & Harv's would all be vying for the award

Who would be favourite?  Langford?

  • 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.

    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?
