Pennant St Dee

I don’t know of anything and don’t think any AFL side falls for such character flaw rumours in order for local sides to have a player fall back. The Jack Darling claims are a myth, he dropped back because he was poor in his draft year and struggled to deal with more experienced opponents.

Also played in Brissy colours for Scotch College, Suns colours for community club Caversham and Tigers colours for WA, either way wouldn’t mind seeing him in the red and blue

Daniel Curtin will go first round West Coast loaded up on picks next to years to build, versatile tall who can play either end, I hope we are keeping tabs on him. Hale and Claremont boy who will know JVR well

I’d like to see us get some run with our pick, or another mid who impacts the scoreboard. I like Holland, Allan, Hewett for this reason. I think the 2 first rounders next year is where we target the key forward

Whilst we aren’t a juggernaut like Pies, Tigers, Bombers, Bluesand Hawks in terms of numbers, have to say getting to play key blockbusters twice a year at the G in ANZAC Eve and WB/KB would be attractive to me as a player

Exactly

Ssshhhh! That logic doesn’t fit the Hyperbole narrative, we’ve lost Farmer, Hogan and Jackson in the last 20 years

Goody doesn’t make those calls, it’s all up the the S & C staff

Ben Brown 2021, managed perfectly

West Coast took Jack Williams as Kennedy’s long term replacement, so can’t see them or us taking Jefferson. On another note and in keeping with our forwards. I had to drop into the Claremont football Club today, JVR was in the gym doing some conditioning, they started introducing him to me. I said mate lifelong Demon, you don’t need to tell me who this bloke is. Shook his hand and wished him luck for the season ahead.

Yeah absolutely I mean Jetta, Rivers, Woey, Alan Johnson, Darren Bennett, Seecamp, Nicholson, Armstrong and numerous others all wanted to leave. Might as well trade out JVR asap

Coaches must have been in on it as well, considering he shared the AFL coaches award with Clarrie. Lets not try and invent something which isn’t there. If there’s anything in this it will relate to spot betting after the event

Happy to take Hollands, Hewett, Phillipou or Allan with our pick. I reckon at least one of them will be there

A bit of a domino effect from the midfield getting beaten at the clearances and lack of pressure up the ground. Hibbo has been a fantastic pick up and servant for the club and Melk, whilst not a Hibbos level has still been a good pick up

As a father of two boys born in 2006 and 2007, I’m not surprised the potential draftee’s don’t follow the Dees, their footy interest would have started between 2009 and 2017. We couldn’t attract much support back then

Not sure Nascent, I only seen him play PSA footy and on both occasions he played as a loose rebound defender. He was pretty impressive and it’s what he’s good at so he’s never been required to when I watched. He tackled well, was strong in contests and reads the play so I think he would be able to play it with some coaching but his asset with intercept marking and his kicking is why he will be drafted

Yes, he can play andI mean seriously play. Game sense is good, awareness is above the norm and his potential is unlimited so it’s a big yes from me and has no off field issues I’m aware of so it’s a big yes from me

It’s Ginbey, but I understand Suns and Hawthorn have come into the picture for him, so now it isn’t just about getting in front of West Coast

Wouldn’t mind with 13 and 22 picking up Allan and George or Hollands and George.

I reckon nobody knows who we’re taking, we really don’t leak and in the years we took Oliver and Jackson it was really only in the last 10 or so days leading up to the draft they started to link us with both those boys. All along in Oliver’s year they thought we would take Parish, and in Jackson’s year it was all about us filling needs for a small forward and rebounding defender with the experts in the lead up having us go for players from Young, Ash, Serong and Weightman. The mail on Jackson and Kossie came late

Nothing as far as I’m aware of field he was the standout of the WA group as an underager and had an excellent colts season in 2021. I just think the emergence of Ginbey, Allan and the game awareness and skill set of 196 Busslinger have seen him move down the order. His draft year is very reminiscent of Jack Darlings where there were all sorts of conspiracy theories around about West Coast trying to hide him etc, when the truth was he just struggled against bigger and smarter defenders and couldn’t do what he could at the underage level. The WAFL has decent depth now and as I said to Dazzle last week so many medium sized good footballers who get overlooked but can seriously play, so it’s not as easy for the 18s boys to jut walk in and standout. I have no worries about Hewitt going into the AFL system and think he”ll do very well

Why not ask about all 23 players getting life membership, why did the question need to be asked on the Luke Jackson thread.

Yep happy for him to be given it along with his 22 team mates. He contributed I got to see something I never thought Melbourne would achieve. Get over it

Jordan Lewis wasn’t exactly in super condition when drafted either

Joel Selwood had 1 dodgy knee, won 4 flags and played 300+ Games, so with 2 dodgy knees I’ll except 2 flags and 150+ games
