No, I don't underrate Neal-Bullen. We found a role that suited him and helped Petracca. His fantastic endurance being pivotal in this role. And it's great he elevated his game, as he was asked to look elsewhere at the end of 2020. It's you who overrates him as a player. I respect role players, but I also recognise their place in a team. I'm hoping Matthews has far better bona fides that translate to him being far better than a limited role player, like Neal-Bullen. I do thank you though. I've seemingly had disdain for Alex and I believe I've been misspelling his surname for years.

The new Neale-Bullen ? I always have grand hopes. I hope he's a lot better than Neale-Bullen.

Perhaps. People get excited by hopium. He couldn't have done what you say too often because he rarely gets the footy.

Take it easy, Cyclone. 2023 AFL DRAFT PROFILE STRENGTHS: + Aerial ability + Contested marking + Conversion + Strength IMPROVEMENTS: - Production - Speed A hulking key forward with notable senior experience, Luker Kentfield is a prospect who has flown under the radar. Along with potential first-rounder Koltyn Tholstrup, he turned out in Subiaco's League side this year for 10 games and earned a call-up to the state Under 18 side for three appearances. At 194cm, he rotated between the ruck and forward line and was able to be a mainstay against mature bodies due to his readymade frame. While doing so at AFL level will be tougher against taller and more athletic opponents, the 18-year-old held his own in the WAFL's top flight. Kentfield is a strong marker and pure striker of the ball, albeit if opportunities are far from frequent. He averaged just six disposals, three marks and less than a goal per game this year, with his standout senior effort yielding four of his overall eight goals for the season from eight touches and four marks. DRAFT RANGE: Rookie

I wouldn't get too excited yet about Kentfield. He's a very good contested mark, but he hasn't shown he has the athletic requirements yet to cut it at AFL level. He was also a very low production guy even in juniors. Now, he may progress to become a star, but I'll certainly temper my expectations based on his output to date.

I also see a vanilla medium tall left-footer.

Mate, I'm more interested in you than Nairn.

I find the propeller-head that everyone is responding to kind of entertaining.

Still cut. Great.

It seems your feelings are hurt. All over a haircut. You'll survive. As for your comment ? Recruiters have been following these drat hopefuls for years. There will be the occasional Oliver or Robey., but in the main recruiters won't change their pecking order much from July until the end of August. Feel free to jump at shadows.

Actually, he is what he is.

Absolutely. I have zero issue with baldness. What I find amusing is a bloke of his age doing the ghastly shaved sides thing, which has nothing to do with any receding hairline. If you felt compelled to reply, perhaps have a clue as to what you're replying to. The word "haircut" is the actual give away. Such a precious generation.

I don't think anyone who earns a living in front of the camera necessarily has a great eye for talent. It's maybe why they're in the media. But maybe not. Can you link me to any deep player analysis that Twomey's done on draft hopefuls ? You know, strengths, weaknesses, etc. ? In depth stuff ? I wouldn't have thought that's his forte, but maybe I've missed it. He'll be pleased to know though that he has so many devotees. And look, maybe he's got a great eye for talent and I'm just being cynical that his form guide changes to the probable draft order the closer the draft gets.

No-one's intel is as good as the bloke with the bad haircut. No-one. I thought I made that clear. What am I missing here ? Hello ? Anyone there ?
