Jayden Cass is another name that gone thrown at me on top of them but I don't think he's that great personally.
And he's a bit on the small side.
Interesting that Gysberts seems to be a bit of a slider. At the end of last year I would have though 100% first round but nothing much has been said about him
One of those guys whose potential far outweighs their exposed form.
Wouldn't expect him to go top 10 but he'll get picked up (a couple of people I know that work at Ranges are pretty confident of him and 5 or 6 others getting picked up)
Didn't help that a huge gust of wind ripped it to shreds and snapped the pole in half!
Terrible weather to play in and a pain in the ass to get out of the ground at the end of the day.
Big crowd as a show of support for Kinglake which was great to see
He's put on a couple of kilos (according to a couple of people I know that were involved with him at Norwood) but nothing extraordinary.
Doubt he'll end up the size of Moloney though, completely different body shapes.
Exactly. Don't think he's ever played a half decent game with a tag. Would be ok if you got him for next to nothing but any pick in the top 20 (30 in a 'deeper' draft year) is too much imo
I've seen Bate, PJ, Petterd and Newton out a few times together. There was another bloke I saw one time but didn't recognise, thinking about it, it could have been Bell.
imo if there's nothing in the papers about it odds are it wasn't a Mad Monday worth having!
I see McVeigh kick the ball forward, Sewell and Lloyd both run to meet it, Lloyd sees Sewell about to collect the ball so tries to bump him, unfortunately collecting him with the tip of the shoulder flush on the jaw.
IMO on intent alone Franklin's was worse because Cousins had his head down pretty much until the point of impact and was completely upright whereas Lloyd seemed to make at least some effort to get down to try and avoid high contact (though obviously failing miserably)
Not that great. Was probably better the previous couple of years than this year. imo he's too good for VFL but most clubs will shy away from his age (25?) and stature (178cm and 70kg).
Pretty sure the S Grasser reported is Simon Grasser from Knox. Wouldn't wanna be on the end of a punch from him. Kid is a man mountain
Winning a few games would help . . .
Seriously though, what player apart from Matthew Pavlich has a hope in hell of being All Australian if their team is bottom 4?
Would he be in the first 50 players you'd select picking a side from scratch?
Even just in his position as a 3rd tallish/floating forward he's competing against the likes of Ryan O'Keefe, Robert Murphy and Steve Johnson.
And Hurley could end up as a forward.
Geelong have done without out a decent tall forward, as did WC when they were good.
Definitely preferable to have 1 or 2 but it can be done without
Bit hard cos Grant and Neitz played a number of positions over the years, but as forwards I would go
Richardson
Lloyd
Tredrea (as much as I hate him)
Grant
Neitz
Lucas
O'Loughlin
Hall
Robertson
Rocca
List based on consistency and their impact on games playing as a forward.
On overall talent Neitz and Grant move ahead of Tredrea
