Ted Lasso

I agree, certainly believe he has the ability to either develop the tank of a midfielder or play a high half forward role, i see him as one of the players in the draft with superstar potential but i don't expect him to make an immediate impact, very much a jake Stringer type project player.

Pennant, i was told by a mate who essentially identifies talent for North Melbourne that the two lacked athletic ability as mids but made up for it in footy smarts, he felt both were very much inside players and limited to that, what are your thoughts? obviously the ability to win the ball and effect clearances is one thing, but for 2 players alone to win 16 clearances and the team to only score 20 points makes me wonder about a. the quality of the delivery forward b. the quality of the forwards c. the quality of the metro defence what was your feeling?

Winton and another wa mid not sure of his name had 16.clearances between them in a 80 point loss

Petracca is an absolute steal if he goes at 29,.tall solid mid, long and accurate kick, very strong overhead Mark and a very impressive tackler, would not be surprised if he is one of the better players out of this draft

Bail i reckon will play as a defensive forward on Young, i reckon we will look to kick it to Pedo or Watts wherever possible going inside 50 as Frost and Keefe will take Chip and Dawes imo leaving the other two potentially outsized i certainly think we have all the tools to beat them, will be very interesting

Watching the eye catchers video on the AFL website it sounds like young billys value is right on the way up, a bit like young Zac Jones last year, hopefully it doesn't go higher than second round, can't see us using pick 4 on him.

Treloar stated he wants to be a one club player, I'm assuming this means he Is one foot out the door already?

It would have been a massive cover up if it was any of those blokes, I'm glad someone asked him, now If it happens they can't hesistate

you did kind of leave yourself open to it.

No longer suffering symptoms and has started running, provide we ease him in well i'd say 6 weeks isn't out of the question, i have worked with stress fractures quite abit in my job, and while i don't know much at all about Jesse's individual situation i have found that once they start running providing symptoms don't return recovery can be fairly quick

sure, but i still think there was an amazing degree of difficulty involved in what he was able to pull off, for a bloke of 5 games or whatever he has played, and you add the magic we have seen from young Jay, seems like exciting times ahead.

So that means i am not allowed to be stoked that Salem looks a good player so early? some of the things he did on the weekend were just magic, i bet not all could stop a ball at full stretch with one hand in traffic, lose his man and effect a perfect kick through port players to a dees player running full speed in hot alice springs conditions. his kick was 2% off it would have missed bail and he did it with no time to measure, pure instinct.

This is a great idea i think, last year some of the bigger teams were losing out on big dollars through having to play us at the MCG and us being non competitive

My apologies.

Langdon is a good player, not sure how he was overlooked twice.

has anyone on here ever seen a player look more comfortable so early at AFL level? on the weekend, kicking to give us the lead against the top side late in the game slots it through the middle like it's nothing reckon we have an absolute gem here

Im a big fan of the footy department cap idea, mostly because it would screw Collingwood over No reason we can't get 1or 2 really good players at years end

Every saints player sends picks to kids, can't sack them all

How much better can he get?

Frosty is back, thought this place was getting to sane

Saints players set a midget on fire and vlad thinks it's funny Bootsma send one pic of his ding dong and its the end of the world...

His best he gets alot of the ball, uses it well, Marks well and kicks goals but I don't think he has ever been at his best for a full game

I reckon Wattsy will improve relative to the team, he seems to be right on the edge of becoming an A grade player now, his best he is a match winner, but he has down weeks, but I just get the feeling he is making some serious gains at the minute, I can see him finishing his career as a very good player, and being the bloke to stand up and win us a big final

Now a process of easing him into training without pushing too hard, his recovery can be fairly quick if everything goes well from here.

I was told the offer from the doggies was very similar in terms of dollars, and the trade was pick 20 from us and pick 21 from them, Neeld probably got the deal over the line in the end.
