Turner

ask jack fitpatrick about tunnelball-gate

i said this in a different thread but both duursma's drafted interstate already have moved home, i would not be taking the risk on willem if im the eagles, 3 year draft contract too, theyll have he and harley both OOC at the same time, if they both left it would genuinely kill the entire rebuild before its even started. you just have to be honest with your members and say look teh family has form, we back our culture but this kid isnt worth the risk we're taking a guy instead who we have far more confidence in staying the journey

how would you compare his game to say chandlers who has played that small forward role for 3 years now, as the pressure player i50, only this year he graduated out of that somewhat out of necessity with ANB departure and spargos injuries but i dont see anything in dovastons game that doesnt suggest he cant develop a nicer kick, he'll get stronger and quicker and be able to break tackles and get into space around the ground better giving himself more time to kick

the more i think about it the more i agree especially as he played in richmonds vfl side WCE: Duursma CDT Rich: Robey Grjl Ess: XTaylor, Sharp? i really don't know where that leaves us i kind of dont like where we sit at all, would love to be at 5 and 15 so much more i think, maybe we pick one and then slide back when someone else really likes whats left over NHH, Farrow, Lindsay if we are to slide, i think the Dons bid on Dean, swallows pick 9 and the blues 11 gets pushed back and we offer them GC F1 to move back and then sell one of ours for a future pick elsewhere to get the Dove

think port have dougie cochrane as a top 2 pick too Richmond Next Generation Academy prospect Tanner Armstrong had 25 disposals and seven clearances on GF day in the futures game Hodge, who has the choice between Brisbane Academy and Hawthorn as a father-son, had 16 touches and a goal in the game as father Luke watched on in the stands. Aidan McCartney also played he's FS to North but also in the Swans academy (dad works at the giants now)

my concern is with his disposal, i think hes super clean with his hands when he goes and gets it and but i dont think he uses it super well or gets into clean enough positions to have the time and space to use it well, that being said i see the bones of why he's rated i wonder if jack dalton is someone teams will look at as a keays/nibbler/miers type of player, 177cm so probably not a mid but has a tank but probably isnt a mecurial goal kicker either

lohmann and bailey were both first rouders, also rankine

Pickett Talor Byrne Rory Wright one of the SA runners? LeRay, Barker?

he played HB in 2024, after initially being played across HF, and then this year he went back to inside mid at casey and didnt dominate or star there

think this sharp and greeves scare me theyre 2012-2022 coded midfleiders, they win teh ball yes but they cant kick, langford is our guy for that going forward and rivers offers enough too, we need class and composure, players who can use the ball inside and out. greeves certainly doesnt impact scoreboard like robey does, sharp has done it a few times but wouldnt rely on it thats why grjl is sp maybe @spirit of norm smith man rory wright or is that a reach there? would be a nice HB/mid option but also could be a lockdown small in time too, dont think there is any concern about "matching" the kalani bid, will fall to us as woey did at the end of proceedings with our last live selection or talor byrne if we go NHH, didnt realise he trained with us in PS that also makes him a likely JT selection, especially if we think dovaston is a reach at 8

one year younger than florent for 110 less games, he was a catb rookie but still, thats only 10 more games than judd in 4 more years

isnt that the same lack of space that has generated no seperation from defenders coupled with a lack of leap that has hindered him as a forward

no xx :)

i mean this is just the biggest stab in the dark of all time, presuming to know something that you actually have no knowledge of because it suits the narative you're spinning

im not sure he gets oicked up tbh, its a nice fairytail but hes gotta come from pretty deep to get there, guess we wait and see now

A

lever petty turner bowey salem lindsay langdon viney windsor pickett fritsch chandler jvr mihocek melksham gawn langford rivers steele jiath culley/sparrow draftee draftee/tholstrup

i would move woey on and take 7,8,37, kalani at the draft and then jackson voss or mcfadyen (lions academy) as a rookie as needs based players voss replaces mcvee and covers for salem/amw and offers some immediate depth down back with lots of our existing options playing up the ground and mcfadyen could play the mcadam fritsch melky role hes 189cm, like a better noah yze, more agile, similar to hayward i'd say maybe without all of the pace

played on a wing at xavier, has split his time wing hb at the hawks, weddle took his spot, plus impey and amon

our pick 66 will suffice

no carlton is ADEL 11 BRIS 11 CARL 18 COLL 13 ESS 9 FREM 9 GEEL 10 GCS 12 GWS 4 HAW 10 MELB 12 NORTH 12 PORT 11 RICH 6 STK 15 SYD 8 WCE 9 WBD 10

nah you're off again aha its 42 max plus B rookies so were at 34 so plus 4 ND picks 3 live and white would mean no rookies, or we take 3 live and add white as a rookie going in with 37/5 split

such a shame it ended this way, could have been one of the great greats, thanks trac

C+ will reassess when i see 7+8 play 5 years

not sure how to feel, wish these boys were lifelong demons and red and blue legends, instead its something less than that, but id also love nothing more than to see clarry thrive thanks claz, go well mate
