spirit of norm smith

Looking at the list and age brackets, Sheridan fits in nicely. With new 4-5 draftees, we will potentially need to grab 1-2 delisted free agents for depth and cover the position 24-25 that Tyson covered.

A roll of the dice. Just doubled down.

For me agree it’s down to 6 Bailey Williams - Dandenong-Big forward/ruck, Agile, Skilled, Goalkicker. Likely to go 15-19. Xavier O’Halloran-Western- highly skilled ruck rover. 187cms. Inside/outside. Classic modern midfielder, A leader. Likely 23-25 pick Ely Smith- midfield bull, competitor, clearance king, Pace, toughness, ready to go. Likely to go 15-23 Xavier Duursma - Gippsland- pacy mid, takes game on, attacking mid, inside/outside competitor. Likely 23-25 pick Tom McKenzie- Northern- the runner. Outside midfielder. Very skilled. Good competitor. Perfect fit. Likely pick 23-28 Chayce Jones - Tassie- another outside running mid. Wingman. Classic footballer. Good skills and decisions. Likely pick 25-29.

Pick 65- Eagles. Jeremy Sharp Pick 81- Freo. Tom Medhat

I also missed Tom Medhat as Freo next gen player.

Yes forgot to add late mail. Simington has impressed big time in 2018. Kept under wraps. Will get drafted or rookied. I think Suns will use pick 80. Maguire likely to get late pick 89 to Giants

Menzel no. Murdoch yes. Comes for free. Real pace. More goalkickers. Replaces Kent for nothing.

Surely have to seriously consider Jordan Murdoch. Pace and goalkicking. Very dangerous player.

1- year contract for depth and midfield cover. Handy type of player. Versatile.

Yes Trac finished yr12 in 2013 & Weideman and Anderson were in yr12 in 2015. Demons pathway??

Attended state combine. Yes a few recruiters eyes are already upon him. I think he’ll be a late draftee or rookie chance. Depends on how clubs assess his physical position after some stress related worries late in 2018. Strong running midfielder. Captain of Vic metro leagues rep team. At 20 years old!!! Went to school with Sam Weideman at Whitefriars. Sam will know that he has ability.

Profile and vision match. Hardly pick 53!! Will be gone by mid 20s unless there are behavioural or work ethic issues. He fits our future needs as well as many other clubs.

Fox Footy has no idea. Tarryn Thomas is top 14-20 definitely. I’d nominate him at 23 if we could.

Ely Smith is a contested beast. Reminds me of Clayton Oliver. Strong. Good pace. Ready to go. Contested ball king. Uses handball 75% of time to distribute. Kicking ok but mainly distance. Not silky skilled like a Bailey Smith or Zac Butters. If we get him, wow. Never lose the clearances. But I think he will got top 15-19 with Crows, Lions or Giants selections.

Definitely give Luke Partington’s manager a call. Just been delisted by Eagles. Hard to crack at behind their outside run group. Talented youngster. Outside runner with excellent skill. East Perth 2018 B&F. Still only just turned 21.

It’s just a lottery now match Jason Carter - Freo NGA 55- Kangas Boyd Woodcock 56- Lions James FS 57- Pies. Marty Hore 58- kangas Joel Crocker FS 59- Cats. Oscar Brownless FS match Buku Khamis - Bulldogs NGA 60- Cats. Brett Bewley 61- Eagles Tom Joyce 62- Demons. Toby Bedford NGA

I’m afraid Butters is “soft”. It’s not great but in theme (Seriously Butters is very very good. Think Trent Cotchin or Brent Oreilly ex Crows. Highly skilled. Light frame. Always composed and great decision maker. I have him 16-20 so a chance).

Agree. I rate Ely Smith as top 20. Others had him in 20s/30s but he is the modern ready to play type. Strong. Quick. Clearance king. Great handball. Kicking is satisfactory but not elite. He gets it and distributed by hand. Not unlike Oliver and they would be two absolute bulls.

Twomey is joking. Bailey Williams is definitely top 30. Top 20 for me given size, athleticism, combo as ruck or key forward, and skills. Leap can get him over taller opponents. Definitely be gone by 30. I think we’d have to seriously consider.

It’s a No from me. Good offensive player but chase and tackle is nil. But I trust Goodwin to structure his team. If Goody thinks he’d be a plus, then I’d support him.
