That clip gets me more excited over Hobbs as an inside mid. It's one game, wouldn't be making sweeping statements off of this.
Yeah agree,l think Andrew is over rated ,he's been a very good ruck in a ordinary year for Rucks ,he's been up against a lot of kp types .
I would take Gibcus though if he was their.
Tony Braxton-Hicks
There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
There's no way our committee would grant a licence to hyphenate that name. He's clearly from Corio and named after a TV show to make him sound posh. He doesn't. Especially since the actual spelling at birth was Billyon.
But you're right, he does have a bad haircut. From his great grandmother. So he'd look nice on her 50th birthday.
Hobbs fits a desperate need.
We dont have a pick in the early teens, for sure he'll be gone by our 15.
Its at 7 or never really.
spewing I didnt think of that
I think you may have invented THE ultimate bogan name.
leaves Gryan for dead

Yep,if Gibcus is gone,Hobbs is the one,l haven't changed my thoughts for the last couple of months.
I would like Butler for our second selection,l wouldn't be surprised to see Macdonald going earlier than the Carlton second rounder.
I still like Jack Williams for one of our second rounders ,l was watching more of him last week,l still think he can be a Afl player,be it as a forward or even a full back .
Yep,l liked Gibcus over Hobbs ages ago,but always thought Gibcus would be gone before our pick,,BUT would love Hobbs if Gibcus is gone ,out of those 2 for me
You can look at all the draftees clips and pick weaknesses. What stood out for me is that he is a player that is strong overhead which translates in his ability to push forward and kick goals. A key in todays game with being able to play multiple positions.
the kid almost deserves his own thread
Billyon McTavish-Sonton 169/89 small big-bodied striker - Reykjavick Polar Bears FC
McTavish-Sonton comes to the tigers as a category C rookie. Awarded the Snorri Sturlenson Medal for the Most Berserk Young Player in the Northern most organised sporting competition in the world, McTavish-Sontons mother, left Corio, Victoria and moved to Greenland to pursue her dream of becoming a walrus tusk polisher in 1991.
The only Australian football McTavish-Sonton has ever seen is a replay of the 1989 grand final
'I hope to model my game on Märk Yeats?' explained the stunned, heavily-bearded, strongly built small man
McTavish-Sontons mother, Narellisha, laughed as she recounted how Billyon always seemed puzzled by the posters of Craig Biddiscombe on his wall.
'he used to just sort of stare at them' she said

does he say anything?
Our first pick will definitely best available. We will not be reaching for a need.
He also said that our picks in the 20's could very well be traded out for next years draft or to move up/down in the draft this year depending on who is available.
Sounds like we have agreements in place to do various things depending on who is on or off the board.
Great to see we are really prepared for this draft.
I see this as our midfielders draft (hence why steering away from most talls) and then through either FA or through next years draft (a 1st and 2 2nd's gives us great flexibility to trade up) to get some talls in.
I definitely believe the picks we have now wont be the same come the end of the draft.
I also cant see us taking any talls outside of Gibcus and Van Rooyen.
With best available it will be interesting to see who we rank higher out the likes of Hobbs, Gibcus, Erasmus, Johnson. I think our first pick will come from one of these 4.
Yeah, same way that Majak Daw still to this day is overrated. The thing with Mac is he will take a minimum of 4 years to put on enough size to be able to compete and even then there is no guarantee. The Sudanese boys are for the most part naturally tall and very lean and it is very difficult to change the lean into something that could take on a rampaging Toby Nankervis. I would be really disappointed if we took him with our first pick.
