Yeah, with a change in roles at work I’ve watched less than normal. I would piggy back of some of Bully’s work.
Watched all the games once but haven’t zeroed in and refocused. Will say there’s heaps of outside types and pace. Not sure there’s the complete inside class mid outside the top three. I have Rowell, Anderson and Green my top three. I really like Luke Jackson. Raw but at times shows Nic Nat impact in the ruck with multiple efforts when the ball hits the ground. If we have two picks in the first round ( Brando compo) I’d take him.
Brando would be 2nd round compensation IMO, anyway without Bullus I am just in the hands of the Phantom Draft boys and the Bio's they put out , the first being Callum Twomey's.
With Balta now being groomed as a key defender, (he is about 196cm), do people still believe a tall defender is priority no 1?
Our 1st pick without trading up the draft order will be in the 15-20 range.
Based on Callum Twomey's July Phantom Draft link below:
Cal Twomey's 2019 Phantom Form Guide: Post U18 Champs - AFL.com.au
AFL.com.au's draft guru ranks the young talent in the wake of the U18 Champswww.afl.com.au
The best key defender in draft is the 195cm Fisher McAsey but is predicted to go in top 10.
195cm 74kg Josh Worrell Twomey has going at 11 has played back/wing and forward, (seems more of a hybrid type).
These are unlikely to be available at our pick.
So do we go best available talent, (i would), or go for needs which is someone, that maybe in time, can play on the monster 200cm forwards? If the latter we might have to reach for a project player with our 1st pick which is always fraught with danger, (McBean comes to mind, not a 1srt round pick but you know what i mean).
That player could be Sam De Koning which Cal has rated pick 24 in his top 30, he is 200cm and 85kg
Early doors but let the discussions begin.
Did I say I am going to miss Bullus
Yes, like him.The underage kid from WA withe the hyphenated surname looks the goods in the backline, ineligible this year though
Denver Grainger-Barass, one to keep an eye on
Do all the junior watchers get harassed off these boards or are they over sensitive to criticism? I wish they’d all come home.
Fischer McAsey for vic metro sounds the standout defender in the afl site article. In my opinion we need to grab the most talented tall defender with our fist pick if possible or manoeuvre up the order a bit to secure him.
A talented tall forward and ruckman are also on my shopping list (maybe a marquee tall forward and defender over 2 drafts) with inside mids at other picks.
I am open to more midgets if we circulate some out such as Aarts and Buttler. They are easy pickings (and easy to fit into a shopping bag, maybe we could purchase by the kilo)
So where did Bully go? He alright?
If the Ignore Button had of been alive and well last year Bully would still be here, a shame some idiots spoilt it for the rest

Bull
Bully had some strong personal opinions. Not everyone agreed.
Not sure calling them idiots is really fair Caesar.
He’s certainly very informed and indeed missed.
Those of us who can’t watch the juniors will miss Bully this draft season
I'm certainly missing Bully, he put in an enormous amount of time and effort into providing us an insight into prospective players.Those of us who can’t watch the juniors will miss Bully this draft season
Some of the comments last season definitely weren’t warranted. In my view no place for personal attacks Spirited debate is good
Thanks. A quick google search had him at 186, but it must be old. My mistake.was playing KPD, not sure of his height
Coleman Jones ??Like the look of the Westrrn Australian ruckman
Jackson. In 3 or 4 yard can see him in partnership with Cameron-Jones and Chol.
the spell checker is red-hot now. Im having to go back and edit just about every time to correct spell checks. I wonder can one turn it off?Coleman Jones ??
