Pennant St Dee

Coached against Darcy this season and really liked what I saw. Knows how to find the footy, takes the game on, quick/smart decision maker in congestion. Work rate is exceptional and has the tank to run all day. He’s taller than Caleb Daniel but reminds me so much of him. I watched Daniel play against WA in his draft year and he was that far ahead of the other players in terms of skill, awareness, decision making and impacting the game it was crazy. At the time all the talk was about him being too small but I hoped he would be taken, Darcy is in the same mould. If he’s best available at 37 I have no issue if we take him

Yep would take him in a heartbeat on our coaching staff, fantastic human being is Rats

Don’t see him as an out and out forward but very much see a Bont, Fyfe, Cripps type mid who creates headaches match up wise when moved forward

Can’t anymore, so many of them are in the PSA system now that the schools don’t hide them

From the presser and answers given, they have selected someone, we will know by next week

Talented player could wrecker work with him, I’d get him training to prove he wants it and make your decision based on your observations

Ginbey can play the Hibberd role and that is the role East Perth played him in when he was in their seniors. 2021 he played for East Perth Colts and Wesley College as a rebounding CHB, where he was outstanding. He’s not big enough to be a KPD It was Woey who moved him into the middle this season for 2 reasons, out of necessity and to show the versatility Rueban has in his game. Woey felt Rueban could eventually be a midfielder and he flourished. WA ended up putting him in the middle and he has shot up the rankings, but I see an Elliott Yeo type where he will be a half back who can be thrown into the middle if needed. The kid has many strings to his bow and oozes leadership

Demonland wanted Goody sacked in 2019

Best of luck Oskar, as KLV said that video of your father presenting your jumper was a very special moment

Ed Allan is a good size with really good endurance. Could be a big bodied mid who floats forward in a Bont fashion. I reckon West Coast we’re looking at Busslinger at pick 8 and Ginbey at 12, but I’m hearing Ginbey has interest from a few clubs who may pounce with live trading if the Eagles don’t take him at pick 8. If they get Busslinger and Ginbey that’s them set down back for 10 years with, Barrass, Bazzo, Busslinger and Edwards

I’m thinking Ginbey won’t be available, West Coast will take him with one of their 2 picks before us. Do we look towards filling a need for a key tall at this pick KPD - Lewis Hayes/Busslinger KPF - Jefferson I actually wouldn’t mind us taking a punt with this pick on the Vic Metro boy Gruzewski who showed a bit to me in the championships. Another WA boy who will be a little under the radar due to missing a lot of the season with injuries is Ed Allan, he has a high ceiling and could be one who we say how did he not get taken earlier. Small forward who impacts the scoreboard could also be something we look at Konstanty with that pick. Having said all that I was really impressed with Sheezal in the championships and as good as the draft is next year if he’s sitting there at pick 5 do we offer the Hawks pick 13 and next years first and second (bearing in mind we have Freos 1st and 2nd pick) and pick 37 for pick 5 and 24 this year.

Thanks for your efforts and service Sam, best of luck at Essendon

That’s Rueban Ginbey who we have been into and who Woey pushed into Wesley Colleges midfield this year to show the versatility he had and improved his drafting capabilities

My mother was all excited listening to trade radio, thinking one of her sons lifelong dreams had come true, when Matty Rendell was talking about Melbourne picking up a left footed wingman, with endurance who had some issues with the Pi$$, then they mentioned Lachie Hunter. On a serious note though, I like the pick up. Plenty of upside and potential to prevent the lock downs on Langdon impacting our assets, especially given we used a pick we were not likely to use next year

Thanks for the heads up, I haven’t seen trade predictions like this since GNF was posting

Not my kids DC

Covid bubble in 2020 had a big impact, he’s no longer on our list. He played an important part in our drought breaking premiership and I thank him for that. I’m an adult not a petulant child and accept this is part of a national game, we move on and worry about who we have and us going forward

I can add Moore, Big Carl and Crackers to that list in my time

Yes he’s got to review what other posters put up and is said on SEN & Trade Radio

There’s a lot of people who 10 years ago, who wouldn’t want to have admitted they followed the MFC

Exactly, and some of the carry on by posters, talking about class etc when they show in this and many other threads a total lack of it

But it fits the agenda if you wish to say we have done nothing to improve our list

You mean we didn’t slide to pick 16 for 13 & 27, but but the Demonland naysayers said we would

Fixed it

Agreed, think he’s heading there myself He’s a country boy who has been boarding in Perth for the last few years so used to being away from home and I think will play in 2023 for whoever drafts him
