    I watched him play against the Northern Blues last year before he was drafted and he had 11 contested marks in the first half coming off an injury interupted year, i said to the mate i was with, this kid is going to be a freak! was ecstatic when we drafted him.
  2. Ted Lasso
    Do you think he's a HBF Rjay? or would you play him further up the field?
  3. Ted Lasso
    I tend to agree, the only reason the club would look at him is he's Nathans Brother and you can't recruit on that basis.

    I see a lot of Patty Cripps in Oliver, just how clean he is in close and how he always seems to get a handball out, but i think he'll end up being a Chris Judd- type player, he has that break away pace. Weitering is really interesting, he's a gun and all class but i can't see him being a genuine key back in the way Alex Rance is, more the third tall who sets up a lot of the play, he's going to be a 250 game future captain of the club though. I personally think we got the better player of the two, and my massive call is, Weiderman will be a better player than both in my very honest opinion, he is a great talent.

    I reckon Hawks will win this game.

    I still think Salem is being played out of position, i reckon he's a mid/forward, and not a very good defender, but our lack of quality kicks has kind of landed him on the half back line.
  7. Ted Lasso
    Doesn't mean we would have drafted those two, we might have picked Aish at 2 and another spud at 20

    I think the other point to make is that the timing of the trade is a big factor here, we needed a more immediate injection of top end talent and we got 2 top 10 midfielders, and i think though Salem is under performing i think he's shown enough to say he has the ability to be a quality AFL player. I still think both sides would be pretty content with the outcome and there wouldn't be any huge regrets, as Barrett is suggesting.

    Tyson is as important to us as what Kelly is to the Giants in terms of Role, Tyson allows Viney and Jones to do what they do in a lot of ways and is clearly a class player, Kelly i think will end up being a better player, but not by much. this is just an overreaction to Salem not being picked, he's still got a heap of class and ability and extremely highly rated and imo we win this trade by some distance. Barrett is greatly overrating Kelly on his current output ( as good as it is ) and greatly underestimating Salem & Tyson again. Make no mistake Tysons improved form is a big factor in our improvement.

    99% sure it's next season, but the clubs already chatting to his manager about extending so wouldn't think there is anything to worry about with Dom.
  11. Ted Lasso
    The domino's are falling, i'm sure some of the bigger ones aren't to far away.
  12. Ted Lasso
    and to Pedo's credit he gets down back and helps out and he tends to impact the score board as well, imo he's a handy role player.

    Outside the box thinking, but TMAC? the lions don't have a gun key forward and he's got the running and marking power to be really dangerous around the ground.
  14. Ted Lasso
    I would suggest neither is in the class of say Hurley for example a player who looks like being an AA regular
  15. Ted Lasso
    for me a dream off season would see us re-sign Hogan and TMAC, as well as bring in Prestia and one of Jenkins/Hurley If Hogan leaves we'll probably add a couple of good first rounders and a player as well but i am pretty confident Hogan will stick around
  16. Ted Lasso
    I think the club will be desperate to recruit a big name player this year, something we haven't been able to do for a long while.
  17. Ted Lasso
    While i agree Garland was poor and Dunn was good at Casey, i think the coaching staff might be trying to make a statement with Dunny, clearly he's doing or done something they don't like. Personally i'd much rather see O'mac in the side getting experience, can cop mistakes from a young player but when a senior player makes basic skill errors under no pressure you can't excuse it.
  18. Ted Lasso
    As i said earlier, Macca said at training Jack is looking to play senior footy again so the club will really start looking at him on a form basis as of this weekend and i'm sure he'll be back in the mix in the next 2-3 weeks. will be a fantastic day for the club when jack is back out on the G and reminding everyone how good a player he is.
  19. Ted Lasso
    really looking forward to seeing ANB, he's been pretty stiff not to get a run sooner! he'll be desperate to lock down a spot in the 22 with his mate Billy.
  20. Ted Lasso
    Lions were bad last week but in general they've been okay, they pushed the swans very hard only a couple of weeks ago, though i do think the injuries are going to make it very hard.
  21. Ted Lasso
    we are either going to have an off week and get belted or we're going to come to play and win this game by 80 plus. Hogan to kick another 6-7
  22. Ted Lasso
    If JT was going to play i think we'd know by now, they'd have a video on the website of the boys being told, JT playing his first game back is nearly a bigger deal than some of our young guys playing their first games.
  23. Ted Lasso
    I don't think so, it's definitely better than it was, he looks far more free in his running and he's picked up some speed but he's still not super quick, but he will just get to so many contests which is what we need him to do, be that hard running mid, like a Daniel Cross or Joey Montagna
  24. Ted Lasso
    The speed isn't a huge issue because of Trengoves Aerobic ability, he is perfectly suited to the intererchange cap
  25. Ted Lasso
    Essendon are totally in breach of his contract, if Hurley wants to walk, he can walk, if they say no and he challenges it, i see no way he wouldn't win.
