Turner

given how well SA went at the carnival im surprised at the lack of noise around a few of theirs LeRay being the main one

has no real strengths, no outstanding phsyical traits, the worst type of player to be as you are the most easily replaceable in the 22 and on the list with a younger prospect. taj has been tried across all three lines and is a serviceable vfl player, i love the romanticism of a FS recruit so hopefully if he survives he can find a niche and thrive on it, the same way a maginess or west has elsewhere

if my nan had wheels and all that

i thought he was taller than 194, if he was 197+ i'd be an extra 20% more excited but none the less i hope we see him R1

go to the rumours thread for that, this thread is a bible

he was playing on irishman mark duffy

a good bridge player for a bottom six side, like cam pedersen was once upon a time to be a battering ram and take heat off some kids, i'm just not sure what he brings to a side already full of seasoned bodies, he isnt a polish cherry on top player like a mannagh or davidson so for mine it was a bit of a nothing selection and if we didn't already have melksham and fritsch (mihoceks recruitment makes it even harder as well) as similarly sized options he'd get more opportunities, the number of games he plays next year will have a direct correlation to how well our season is going. for the teams sake i hope its at or below that 5 mark again, of course I would love to be wrong too

you seem to get a read on these things early, whats prasads range next year? maybe my dovaston love affair is too short sighted

jed walter in darwin would have been my winner

jacob dawson!! you've been watching too much vfl! Jordon dawson is my pick however

i agree with you there, but im saying we had a full list meaning we had excess picks, not necessary that our list was filled with better players meaning we made the right decision to throw away picks, at the very least we should have been pumping them back into the next season and then redeciding then

i think this needs to be put into some sort of perspective. which is we knew how many list spots we had available and we had surplus of picks to spots, therefore we were willing to trade 2 picks (for lions academy points) for one player as we would have passed on the latter pick anyway. likewise why we trade multiple picks for one higher up the order pick, and i like us moving future picks forward as you can always move the ones the next year forward etc etc endlessly forever now

cody curtin kicked 6 goals in the wafl colts granny, i know its not the highest standard of junior comp but given hes probably outside the top 30 prospects, hes 200cm and he wont be too dissimilar to his brother in athletic profile and mentality/professionalism i hope we are seriously considering him

ive been on him all year, tick for mine

Does kiddy coleman get starcevichs spot when he leaves? he was the best player on the ground in the first half of the 23 granny

this narative always confuses me, you mean because he was a less professional athlete for longer hes more likely to last longer as a pro athlete doing the right things to your body? BBB was a mature ager and he barely got to 30. there is no argument here when drafting key forwards they must have mongrel and c*** about them, when theres a pack or a player in front of them or the ball is kicked too them they need to run through anything and everything and attack that ball like they want it. MJ from day 1 has shown no ability to do that, JVR does a little bit but cant get himself higher than any other hands in the pack or enough seperation from his defender. its my biggest concern about White is that he's a basketball two footed jumper, ball on my head and ill mark it because im taller not a see ball recklessly fly at ball KPP

idk who this person is or what they're mail is. for all i know they could just be a fellow DL enjoyer but the mail suggest both of us @spirit of norm smith plucked one each (or theyve read us bang on about the same players over and over again and thats their mail)

steve motlop did this and got a 4 year deal at the cats and then a 4year FA deal at port, best two years he played

seems a weak draft for talls. schubert and CDT the only ones who have raised their stocks this year and we probably aren't in the market for either. I rate Ison/Whan/El Achkar higher than you do I don't mind what Dalton does and Byrne looking at HF options. I think our priorities should be talls if there were any and then small forwards and defenders. Dovaston/Byrne/Pickett Voss/Farrow/Wright If Curtin was available i would jump at him at our second pick in the 30s range otherwise maybe a LeRay type but he feels similar to what we've picked recently in XL and Windsor so you'd be hoping 1 or two of them can transition onto the inside but not everyone can/does

Aug 24th geez i was close, missed Sestan and overshot on Campbell and Henderson. 50:50'd McDonald/Fullarton so I'll half pay it. Got the trades out right when it could have been any or none

tbf i stand by wanting 2MP fir a fourth rounder at 24 from the suns over brown, woulda saved us 3 years of chopping between key forward back up rucks. BBB had a good 4 week stretch, i think 2 metre coulda done the same and more. he won a bnf since 2018 too

i'd say yes good move, but look at may's last month, and BM is only 12 months younger, may has hit a cliff and yes his stremgths were speed and kicking which are very hamstring oriented but mihocek might find it tough after 12 months to contribute, whats your opinion on whether darling has been a success at North

are u describing north or us?!?! eerily similar the way we're building the next generation midfield out again and praying that we can find talls somewhere down the track, good plan on paper but we've spent 5 years showing the competition how hard it is to execute when u arent geelong/pies/hawks/swans/lions

the swans were throwing mccartin and hamling forward and went to the well with ladhams 3 times before they gave him a game, the pies want him to be 38th man on the list, we'd need him to be a walk up start round 1. fits firmly in the fullarton/schache pile for me

Clubs have recently used the rookie draft to 're-draft' players they have recently delisted. Under AFL rules, clubs must have at least three list senior list vacancies in order to take part in the national draft. Before the national draft, clubs will delist a player to open up a senior list spot, but commit to re-drafting that player in the rookie draft. This year, clubs have delisted a total of 16 players and committed to taking them in the rookie draft. afl.com.auAFL Draft explainer: Everything you need to knowCheck out this explainer as the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft approachestaken from a draft explainer on the afl website from last year
