So did Liam Baker.

Perhaps i should have said 'smoke screen'

My proper smokeys are not going on the internet
Worried about the opposition spies ezy :LOL:.
Our bust consensus is really interesting.

Its developing into PRE V The World.

I had Phillipou as a bust until i learned hes 17, which changes things considerably.

Theres a fair bit of smoke about GC taking Ginbey,

Which wouldnt surprise me at all.
I thought the same thing,lm not sure what his best position will be,but l guess with 18 clubs looking for forwards , if he becomes a third forward type,and can kick 25+ goals a season ,a top 10 pick would of been worth it.

These Forward/ruck types have become all the rage in recent times ,and that's because of having 18 teams ,but if a team can get 3-4 decent medium types ,you have a potent forward line.
I still think player's who are 193-197 cm make the best kp forwards .

I like everything Tsatas does with his shoes until they connect with leather. Elite in traffic.

It's loopy kicks. Horrible action.
I think its Tsatas seems to me to have to hit top gear, and roost it with a taylor harris follow through,

In order to get the ball to travel 40m?

Remember a bloke called Shai Bolton? Same complaints, need to be cautious when assessing players at full tilt, it's one of the hardest skills in football.

I'd also be paying some respect to the fact Tsatas has suffered stress fractures.

Which high profile junior midfielder gets less than 30% of their disposals contested? That’s your bust right there.

Too simplistic, Tsatas gets 12 contested touches a match & 5 clearances, same as Hewett, the only difference being one collects a truckload of outside ball.

Geelong not matching on Clohesy apparently, fair game in the main draft if we choose to go small. I suspect his kicking has caused a few concerns but I'd roll the dice with a late pick.

Hotton as a bargain?,l rate him a bit too,is expected to go late 1st round early second round.

His kicking isn't that bad,it's probably his run and carry ,and spread from contests which is the worry.

It's true, this was a central reason behind him slipping deep into the second round. Tsatas has just come back from injury too, stress fractures in the foot need to be acknowledged.

Another boom - Lemmy.

You don’t lose ability over night. You can’t judge a kid on one bad year of footy.
