Scully was an accumulator of the ball who relied on running opponents into the ground, his disposal was and still is poor. This kid relies on his footy smarts to get the ball, he is a quick decision maker and uses the ball very well by hand and foot both sides of his body. I'm sure the FD are well aware of his strengths and weaknesses and won't need worry about any red flags.

He's a better kick than Cotchin...

It's never worked for us in the past...

He's not great overhead in the traditional sense of the bigger bodied player or aerialist but he really commits himself which I like, he takes front position and doesn't take his eyes off the pill.

You don't reach with early picks. The FD know who they want with this pick and if it was going to be a reach they wouldn't have bothered trading up...

Depends on his peripheral vision and awareness.

No...

This kid seems to overthink his game which could be a problem for him going forward.

Got off to an early start...

Who will it be next week...it was Mathieson last week, Oliver this week. I can't wait until the next batch of AFL videos come out so you can tell us who the next mistake of the decade will be.

What pick can we get Gilbee for?

If Goodwin & McCartney think he's worth it then we should trust them on this...my only reservation is what WADA have to say.

Happy with both of them 'rpfc', I think Tyson is a bit stronger in tight over the ball but Viney harder at his attack on the ball. My original post was in response to someone calling Tyson an outside mid which he clearly isn't.

Not yet, maybe in 2016.

Tyson is our best inside mid...

Forget about it, if Martin wasn't such a d.... then him.

We won't have to worry about picking him up. Funny how the profile talks about him compared to Kelly at a similar stage, from the games I watched Kelly was a far better prospect. I guess time will tell.

Vanders...

I would add CS & the board to that list...

Thankfully...

I'm not a fan, has some good games but falls into the category of athlete not footballer for me.

I reckon Brayshaw, Tyson & Petracca for a start...but time will tell.

I rate him as a good hard at it ball getter, he reads the ruck contests well but his kicking is all over the place at the moment. Do we need another hard inside mid?

That might be the case. I think it more important that we are not after Melksham if he is part of the WADA case. It doesn't take a footy expert to figure it wouldn't be a good move to recruit him if he was. Don't remember significant criticism, maybe some reasonable discussion on whether we should have taken a kid with his pick. There was more criticism of the 'H' trade, and so far that is hardly a winner. At least on ground.

They always have a 2nd ruck so don't need him to pinch hit but he has a lot of talent. Anyway, as I say I was just thinking aloud. Freo will have to give up something if they want to get McCarthy... I don't think we need a ruck/forward, we do need a forward who can pinch hit in the ruck.
