Yeah amateurish was a bit tough, I'm more to your thinking. JVR has performed as well as any player has in the last three months. One of the few with actual production. I'm still taking at 15 if he's there."Goalless" you do need glasses. Kicked 4 gave away two with handballs and was instrumental in several others. If you say he did not kick a goal when Bazzo was on him I refer you to the end of the third quarter where he outmarked two defenders including Bazzo and slotted it. After quarter time he was less influential because delivery to him was awful, he was double teamed, rucked in the fwd line and had no talls to support him. However he still remained their most dangerous forward bringing the ball down, shame his team mates could not capitalise. I had to watch the game a second time to see if my recollections were accurate and did not see a single instance where Bazzo beat him one on one let alone made him look amateurish. I like your participation and generally your comments but in this instance you are wrongly insulting the lad.
p.s would like us to draft both of these talls.
Could Gibcus slide to our pick 15? Or is he a lock for the top 10?If Gibcus develops the way he projects and becomes a great CHB in the mould of Lever, together with Balta, we’re a King brother away from locking in our long term talls.
Throw in Johnston and Taylor and viola!
I am with you Ezy.I was trying to compile a top 10 based on how much they look like a footballer in a footy card scenario,
and drew a pretty strong correlation between the top 3 on footy card footballer look,
and ability.
Jason Horne
Ben Hobbs
Finn Callahan
look the most like footballers, even if they were playing golf,
and they are probably the best 3 footballers in the open draft.
what is it? a bit of a man-child effect? confirmation bias? or do good footballers look like footballers?
Greene makes any side he plays in better, regardless of game plan. (Not saying Rachele becomes the next Greene).Johnson, I take the size and midfield profile. I like Rachele, nothing against him but I’m taking the mid every time. Toby Greene is so unique I don’t know if you can replicate. And not sure our game plan fits Rachele.
Geez I reckon superstar gets used too liberally. How many superstars can there be? Naughton is not a superstar. He's an elite mark with real athleticism at this stage and not much else. Doesn't do much when the ball hits the ground. IIRC he kicked one goal from general play during the year, every other goal from a mark and set shot. His kicking is inconsistent, almost poor. Capable of improvement - no doubt. Superstar. Not yet.Bully.
You keep comparing Gibcus against Naughton.
With all due respect, Naughton is a young superstar of the competition ( other than an ordinary GF )
One of the best contested marking players in the entire league.
If Gibcus is 80% as good it would be a terrific result.
It's good,his biggest issue which is minor is he tries to play on all the time,and it makes him rush a few of his kicks.If you believe Gibcus has forward ability then he vindicates a top ten pick. How do you rate his kicking ability?
Cue the word “young” superstar.Geez I reckon superstar gets used too liberally. How many superstars can there be? Naughton is not a superstar.

Would we want him - sure.
No chance to slide.Could Gibcus slide to our pick 15? Or is he a lock for the top 10?
Not by me. He can play. Couple of things to clean up, but what kid doesn’t ?No chance to slide.
It seems PRE is the only place he’s not rated.
Yes, I like Delacey.I reckon Talon Delacey is another to watch at Claremont.
I have seen this kid play for the last 5 years.
He is super versatile as a mid, plays inside and out effectively, with good pace and stamina. Great hands and a really good mark. Fantastic work ethic and just a great kid.
I think he will last until the later rounds and I really hope we get him.
What are you talking about, we would not do that. It's not like we've drafted players such as Jayden Post, Cleve Hughes, Ty Vickery, Todd Elton or Ben Griffiths with early picks!My fear is we reach for too many talls in this draft.
So many capable midfielders that are gettable
Pick 7 I reckon we will take a tall for sure Gibcus/JVR
15, If JVR is still there, even if we take Gibcus at 7, I reckon we may pull the trigger.
Then the rest of the picks we take the midfielders that are left,
Butler, Hough, Knevitt, Sheldrick, Roberts, Macdonald, Chesser
We are desperate for talented, elite young talls.

Here's a quote from the article I posted -Yeah amateurish was a bit tough, I'm more to your thinking. JVR has performed as well as any player has in the last three months. One of the few with actual production. I'm still taking at 15 if he's there.
I think we all agree we need more talls but unfortunately this probably isn't the ideal draft to do that. If we can get one good one, get three talented mids and improve our draft position further for next year that would be a pretty good outcome. Hopefully then we can have a real crack at getting a couple of good talls next year when the talent is supposed to be much stronger in that area.No chance to slide.
