Hopefully this was the break out game needed and his confidence sky rockets from here on.

Gaz indeed loved little Wiz. I have lost count how many times Gaz has written an article about His love for the wiz. Every now and then i still think that if he'd never left Freo and stayed at the Dees no doubt we would have gotten close to winning a flag.

My childhood hero ??

His skin fold test at the Bushies was over 90.

You are seriously one clueless individual.

I have watched Zac closely this year and he just would add alot to our side. Speed and aggression through the midfield is what we lack. He's also improved his kicking quite alot from last year so his development is going well.

And this is why May has to be pur number 1 target ahead of Lever. Big solid defender that we haven't had since Chip Frawley. Its good to have rebounding defenders but examples like Hawkins and Brown will kill us.

In saying all that throw the bloody kitchen sink at May.

I can understand why the coaches started Oscar on Brown. Waite came back into the side on the back of a 6 goal game on Talia. So you could almost say he was the inform forward for them hence why Frosty started on Waited. Surprisingly Oscar did a good job when he moved onto Waite. Brown was always going to be too big for Oscar unfortunately.

Just looks too overweight to me.

Jason Taylor simply doesn't get enough credit that he deserves right now. Could have gone the safe option in Patish but backed his team to pick an absolute beauty here. Well done Jason Taylor and team.

Just saw reports that he was spotted looking at houses in Elwood. apparently now St Kilda could become a serious contender for his services. Surely we would be at least having a quite chat while he's in town?

Richmond thought he would slip all the way out to pick 12. They had him in their sights and thought they were going to get away with a steal. As more talk came that he was set rise into the top 10 the tigers were filthy knowing that they had let one slip especially after the mountain of work they put into him.

You do realise you have quoted me from the JTL game...

Apparently could be squeezed out due to the big signings of Mills and Heeney. Reported here that potentially St Kilda and North are interested. Surely if he wants to return to Victoria then we'd have to be front runner. He is exactly the player we are after in terms of speed and hardness. Been really impressed with him this year after i was bit hesitant watching him last year. http://www.3aw.com.au/news/st-kilda-and-north-melbourne-keeping-tabs-on-sydney-youngster-says-mitch-cleary-20170426-gvt7in.html

Holy moly look at those names his surrounded by..

Maybe stick to suburban footy and leave the good stuff to Clayton..

With his growth and rapid development KC i wouldn't be surprised if Jason Taylor tries to hide him in the development league for a while.. If its true that his skills were on show in front of AFL scouts then no doubt clubs will keep a close eye. Watching that footage and i know its only development league, but jeez for someone who is 194cm he is seriously quick and agile!

Ballenden is a very impressive prospect. Saw footage of him last year and he was all class. He is exactly what we are after. Brisbane are very lucky.

Well done to your boy Kiwi Demon. Hope the dees keep an eye for Mykelti.. huge upside and unlike Maaia Westrupp he is actually a gun at footy!

Roos watched alot more of Brayshaw due to Tyler playing in the same team at TAC cup level. Roos did a lot of mentoring role with Gus when he was with Sandy.

This is from a saints supporter at Bigfooty. A very honest and reasonable response. Honest opinion from a Saints supporter. Selecting McCartin instead of Petracca is as baffling now as it was at the time. No hindsight required. Read any Saints threads pre draft that discuss us picking Petracca & the lead up to the leak we were leaning towards picking Paddy. Most Saints fans thought it was a troll the fact that we were even considering Paddy. The melt amongst fans ensued. After the draft fans obviously got behind Paddy & found positives.In my opinion the Saints recruiters outsmarted themselves. They tried to find flaws in Petracca not to pick him. He's lazy. He's arrogant. He's selfish. All because the recruiters shatthemselves when the Bulldogs shelled out big for Tom Boyd. The problem is the St Kildarecruiters failed to follow the fundamental rule of pick high end draft talent. They failed to pickbest available.Close to the draft all clubs recruiters were asked who they would pick at selection one. 16 clubspicked Petracca, one club Heeney & one club Paddy (obviously St Kilda). The scary thing iseven those fans with a lay opinion on the matter clearly had Petracca ahead of Paddy but theprofessionals running the St Kilda club failed in their duties.It's obviously too late now, the past is the past & I think Paddy becomes a pretty decent footballer when all is said & done. But Petracca becomes elite top five in the competition quality.Just quickly on Billings, as it's been raised. Billings was clearly a top three talent. The Saints recruiters shouldn't be blamed for picking him ahead of Bont. Pretty sure 16 clubs would've done the same. Apparently only Collingwood &the Bulldogs had Bont so high. We don't even know if the Dogs would've picked Bont ahead of Billings if they had the option. The concern with Billings is why has he failed to develop/why has the club failed to develop him. Fourth year in, he needs to show more.

Good post Palace. Said before that while Lever is a good young prospect his disposal by foot can actually be quite poor. Saw alot of adelaide games last year and some of his turnovers even without pressure were atrocious. Adelaide fans will say that while he is a decent prospect he needs to work on this area. I dont think Lever is what we need. We still need to continue to top up on midfield depth and a Ruckman/forward. I have enough confidence in Frost Smith Wagner Oscar and Hibberd to hold our backline together once they are all fit.

Robbo has his take on Clarry. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/expert-opinion/mark-robinson/clayton-oliver-could-be-the-next-michael-voss-writes-mark-robinson/news-story/d203e342de80b357c03776032a487327
