My issue bully is he's only 191cm not a true big key forward , but could get bigger ones he fills out.

He will end up around 193 you would think. Has all the tools to make it.
Any midfielder we draft needs to have zip and pace.
We are already slow enough in there as it is.
Caddy is more agile but neither have explosive pace, Morris is the better contested mark at this stage but Caddy could improve with some extra centimetres. If I'm picking Caddy I'm hoping for something resembling Jesse Hogan, I think he's lost a bit of nimbleness since putting on weight so all the signs are pointing to a role deep in the forward line. As for Morris, I think what he lacks in athleticism he makes up for with street smarts, Darling, Membrey & Mihocek aren't super quick either but they have all carved out impressive careers. Morris has averaged 3 goals a game this year, that's a fractionally better return than Duursma, I also think there's some swingman potential, always good to have a plan B with these more speculative picks.
Pretty average.
Where Caddy is concerned, he’s been working with a specialist running-fitness & strength coach for a few months. What I saw of him about a week ago he seems to have improved his sprint and agility capabilities and overall athleticism. Think he’ll be ok on that front.
Morris however, he may have to rely a lot more on his hands (above his head).
Looking at the highlghts I dont see leap as an issue. Pace? If he has forward smarts that will counter act the pace.
The Launceston Footy club could have three first round selections in the draft in Colby McKercher, James Leake and Arie Schoenmaker. Its a decent effort from a relatively small football club. Mitch Thorp never lived up to being taken before Joel Selwood in the draft as a player but he has had great success as a coach in Tassie.
An ideal draft would be trade up our 1st pick for a downgrade of our 2nd. Take Charlie Edwards with the 1st and Cooper Simpson with the 2nd. Makes a massive difference to our midfield group.
I don’t like the Charlie Edwards part of it, but I like the general strategy and Simpson part.
That is amazing. Also amazing is Palm Beach-Currumbin, Jed Walter, Ethan Read and Will Graham. Its like lightening has struck twice. I wonder if its ever happened before? I doubt its ever happened once let alone twice!
What don't you like about Edwards? Or do you think better players would be available?
He’s ok. He looks vanilla though to me. Maybe he’ll develop into something but I’m not sure he’s a genuine mid. Even the Dragons aren’t sure of his best spot with the thought it could still be HBF or wing. We’ve got enough HBF’s and wing isn’t as important as other areas we need to fill ie genuine mids and kpf’s.
