Peatling is not worth a pick under 30. Unless you're desperate to be seen to be doing something. Ordinary players become stars at this time of year.
-
Just give me a midfielder who's got quick feet, is highly skilled, and tough, and I'll shut up.

Early in the third...

It just goes to show how you can't rely on highlights. I loved some of Reid's 4 minute videos but was able to see much more in today's Coates final. I liked his quick hands on a few occasions, but overall he lacked intensity and noticeably lacked pace. It's folly to be definitive on one viewing, but he didn't look a top 5-6 pick from what I saw.

I've never thought of Parish as being overly quick, so looked up his 20 metre sprint time, which was 3.07 sec. OK, but far from a speedster. I've found Reid a little underwhelming in this game (nearing half-time), but will see how the rest of the match pans out.

I don't see the Sidebottom comparison. I'm struggling to see what you're seeing, but to each their own. Reid's downside to me would be Darcy Parish, not a very limited Charlie Spargo.

That was Reid's goal (Ashcroft's) ...

You've caught the virus.

So I've now watched more videos. And basing an opinion just on a few videos means I'm not qualified to have an opinion. Murphy Reid will be the best midfielder from this draft. And if it's not him it will be Lalor. Hmastrings permitting. We should be in a position to get one of them.

Does Oliver have children ? Nonetheless, a point well made. I think. 🤔
-
I suspect less. But Clarry, when fit and breaking random windshield wipers, is the better player.
-
Callaghan is still just 21 with only 50 games under his belt. Callaghan has far more upside, imo. Should become a superstar.
-
I had Peatling in my Fantasy team at the back end of the year, so, naturally watched him pretty closely. Good tackler, can do a job, links up ok, good speed and agility, average skills. Would be an OK addition, but I wouldn't be perturbed if he stayed a Giant.

There are list cloggers and thread cloggers. Move on from Smith.

There's no doubt the goal posts have shifted since when we first started courting Houston. But just because our first pick would now have been off the table doesn't definitively mean we wouldn't have been able to get a deal done. We may have (and still may) got involved with Brisbane's pick 14 and potentially offered a future first. Who knows. But for me it's clearly obvious that Houston, as reported, decided against joining a club seen to be a rabble. Part of the post I responded to also said, ''His management then threw us under the bus to save face for DH.''. A complete guess, or ''connecting the dots', as agreed by said poster.
