Below average in every stat which is a little concerning. 

Yes he can run but no point being an elite runner when you cannot get the ball.

 

Thank goodness..some negativity… always need to highlight his perceived faults as a 21yr old before he actually gets to the club 🤨

Well let's blow smoke up his ad like we have been with ANB and the rest of the average blokes we seem to love

So Brisbane have made their moves and now have 32 and 34 and some other junk (43, 45, 60).

We have 28, 40, 49, 54 and 65

I doubt we go backwards but we could just give them all 5 of those picks for 32, 34 and Sharp

Most likely result is we combo 2-3 of the 40/50’s later picks for one of 32 or 34 and Sharp.

We have to keep flexibility for Oliver trades and getting another first round pick in this draft but I do wonder just what pick GWS can’t turn down for a guy they’ve never played (or what offer we can realistically make).

Yes we love ANB.  Drafted with pick 40, turns into an ultimate professional footballer, works on his weaknesses, plays in a premiership, his mum sits in the cheer squad wearing a red wig, stays 10 years, his family comes to the last training session all in Demons gear, and we get pick 28 for him.  Draft another please.

I mean what did Bris get for Joe D - nothing;

 Good pickup if we can make it happen without giving up much, we really lacked in depth this year and this will help address that

Had a read of the Brisbane Bigfooty forum and the overall vibe about Sharp was positive:

  • Reasonably disappointed to see him go
  • Excellent athletically
  • Was said to be dominant in an early season VFL game over Casey which may have piqued our interest
  • MCG will suit his playing style and Langdon could be a good mentor
  • Disposal iffy (but who hasn't got iffy disposal at the MFC)

And some here say comments:

  • Apparently Fullarton and his Dad not are not overly excited about being at the MFC.
  • A certain someone that is no longer on the list will be a positive for the MFC in terms of behavioural and cultural issues. The player was mentioned numerous times on their forum.

20 touches and a goal.

Quality not quantity??

Who knows, I doubt many of us saw the game.

VFL stats show he was consistent through the year without starring particularly in any certain game.  His stats show a higher kick to handball ratio, offer relating his more outside run and carry role.  Sounds good to provide another link type player. Pick 54 is enough in exchange for Sharp.

He was an emergency for the Lions in this year's GF so around the 25th best player at the Lions will do me.

You are seriously comparing a 29 year old VFL player to the premiership player and life member who just came third in the B&F? You are a fool.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
