2023 mid-season rookie draft

[btoz_01]

Back pocket to work on defensive deficiencies.

Nuh that’d be us doing that

 

[Dont Argue]

Oscar Allen.
JVR.
Buller.
The list gets longer as our need gets greater

 

[tigerman]

Kicked 5.4
19 disposals
5 marks
4 tackles

Good debut.

 

[BillyJean17]

If he follows that up with another strong performance I’ll go spare

 

[toothless]

If he follows that up with another strong performance I’ll go spare

I'll go one further:

 

[tigerman]

If he follows that up with another strong performance I’ll go spare

If we selected him, we'd use him as a "spare" man in defence.

 

[Tig3]

If he follows that up with another strong performance I’ll go spare

Yep especially when we’ve got Ben Miller playing forward in the VFL who looks absolutely terrified to take a set shot he looked much better down back last week when he swapped with Bauer… and I’d prefer Bauer forward but anyway…

FFS. How could we miss again?

Oscar Allen.
JVR.
Buller.

We should have JVR and Buller on the list.

 

[jokershoppe]

Agree re not bagging the recruiters.
But fair enough to feel disappointed because one has convictions in our list deficiencies and desperate to find our next key forward.
Desperation can lead to mistakes.
But desperate we are. By our own making

Says who ,some posters yes but our club,he'll.no.

Big deal,bradke kicked 5 on his debut also

 

[jokershoppe]

Correct.
Just like they didn’t rate JVR.
Or maybe they just hate talls because they’re avoiding them like the plague

What are bradke,Bauer,ryan,biggie,young, etc

 

[DavidSSS]

Yeah WC's WAFL side is apparently weighing up whether it should forfeit this round:

Eagles considered forfeiting WAFL game amid injury crisis

West Coast this week held discussions about potentially forfeiting their WAFL game against Subiaco as they continue to deal with an injury crisis, sources have told The West.

t.co

That'd be good (yes, I am a Subiaco supporter ).

Cool, good strategy having all your eggs in one basket.

 

[fastin bulbous]

Cool, good strategy having all your eggs in one basket.

And only one egg at that

Let me know which one is our key forward replacement for Jack seeing your so comfortable with our current options.

Yeah apparently only having one key forward waiting in the wings is ok. But you cant have enough back flankers.

I would love to know our list management’s philosophy when it comes to young talls.

So would I …..but ill have a guess they’re both too tall to play off HB

 

[tigerman]

Only a month away from the mid-season draft.

What type of player should we be looking at?

We've got Tom, Nank, Soldo, Gibcus and Tarrant all out injured.

If we go for a tall, there's a 21yo over in Wa, Jack Buller who we should be giving serious consideration. He's 199cm's, is a very good overhead mark, has taken 24 marks in the first 2 rounds, after taking 7 in the 2022 WAFL GF. I reckon we could do a lot worse.

Got your eyes on anyone?

I should've sent my original post to the club.

I’m sure there is a strategy but I can’t see it. I’m utterly baffled. Buller was a punt worth taking.
