2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
Champion is overrated. Watch his WAFL games. Forget the stage name and hype and focus on the production. It’s ordinary.Hahahahaha. You reckon everyone whose having a week off isnt as good as whose on the tv
Ive been on champion for a year old son
Had a big championships. Unfashionable but just keeps popping up.
Big risers for me in that was Allen and Urquart (voss 30m handballs, overcomes a slow start, quick).
Langford BOG.
hayes a good late pick.
I thought champion kept working - most people understand how tough small forward is and lookslike he played through a corkie

Not counting bottom-agers
Stocks up:
Langford
Hynes
Gerreyn
Davis
Ough
Charleson
Day-Wicks
Stocks down:
Lalor
Berry
Hold:
Allan
Urquhart
Travaglia
Lindsay
I suspect Lindsay might end up a bargain for someone. Everything he does is claen and classy. At worst he looks a HBF at the top level but definite mid potential.
Allan only a hold for me because I already had him so high.

Good summary there.
Urquhart is a real professional to the point where he asked several clubs what it was that he could improve upon. He was told his execution by foot. If he was a bit better in that respect and had a yard more pace, he’d be top 15. Still might have potential. Travaglia is a bit the same.
Yes but allows northern clubs to still.get top Victorian talent plus steal the few academy players for non northern academy clubs
Youve been watching wafl thirds?
Like i said, impressive.
Im not going to attempt a last word with you Red,
Itd be easier and quicker to list everything that would never occur to me
You reckon Champion is a bust? Goodonya for sticking your neck out.
I turned the commentary off .
Lalor missed a lot of pre-season as well as most of the start of the year,he came back and played 1 and a half games at school level,got injured again ,and has only came back and played 1 school game and 1 coates game,,he is well underdone for state level ,and such free flowing football under the champs rules .
As Bungal said, he played hff. But I still question him athletically.
Very nice kick, good size. But I need to be convinced about his ability to run and move all day. Until I am, no way he’s a top 3. No way. Think he’s pegged about right at 10. May have slipped a bit today, which might be unfair, but questions need to be answered with Lalor.
I thought 'micks' commentary was balanced and insightful? I thought it must have been mick ablett but another mick.
wA commentators are gonna know more about WA players in a game in WA.
Yes. And reserves. And seniors. And for the SANFL. For the last 3 years.
Not every game obviously, but for those within scope of being drafted, most games yes.
I applaud anyone here able to accurately judge junior talent from these videos ,I find that the distortion of reality is completely different in real.life,I never see their real talent from these tapes,
No wonder we picked up Oakley Nichols from video only,u really need live viewing with testing .

Berry down you think,l thought he was one of the few Vic country player's with run in his legs in the last quarter ,quite a few from both sides drifted out in the last 15 minutes.
Good summary, on Berry, where was he rated? I thought he was solid to good. Improved as the game went on. I'm struggling to see a world where Allan doesn't make it, even if he wasn't red hot. Gerryn looks very composed, aware of his strength and uses it with poise. Impressive.
Champion will make I reckon, no guarantees of course, had an almost game. Just looks to me like the sort of player who will get better with each step-up in class. That rubber man pass while being tackled at FB was incredible, did it so casually, a real 'how the F did he do that?' moment.
Yeah agree allen looks more blue chip by the week.
My eyes well a bit at The slightish chimp running hunch
I think @spook is positioned for a very good draft.
