Mark Merendas mark - a spekky taken backwards, is immensely underratedMark Merenda another.
We should stay away from recruiting players named Mark
84% efficiency in the reserves, 6.6 tackles and 4.1 clearances are good averages too. Thanks for the clip upload71% disposal efficiency for an inside mid seem ok. Good numbers.

Good interview & worth a listen. Kane starts at about 24 mins.
Add Marc Dragacevic to that listMark Merenda another.

This boy apparently has speed, I liked Couglan but I don't think Mark had to much speed.Just from his highlights, he moves and plays like Couglan
Graham polak - Gets hit by a tramWe've been a pretty unlucky club in this regard.
Scotty Turner and Justin Charles come to mind, both taken down by injury whilst at the peak of their powers. I remember a kid by the name of Mark Summers showing real promise, then injury stepped in. Mark Stockdale was another. Both talls with promise.
I didn't see these guys live but from radio commentary they were racing about their potential.
Mark Summers was gonna be a gun he looked greatGraham polak - Gets hit by a tram

Another going way back we lost very early to a crippling knee injury was Peter Cloke, David's brother. I think from memory more of a backman, but could really clunk them. Looked very promising.We've been a pretty unlucky club in this regard.

71% efficiency in the SANFL U18s and 84% in the SANFL reserves, pretty good for an inside mid. Still could be a long shot but with his sprint and time trial times, looks like a handy athleteThis is another inside midfielder, albeit a pacier one than Hopper & Taranto, but he doesn't have an outside game, I think you could maybe improve that area with some good coaching but there's definitely an element of project. Kicking can be patchy, 55% DE, not a star at state level, just solid averaging 18 disposals. I think mids in the 40-60 bracket are generally longshots, occasionally a Neale or Sloane falls into the lap but it seems to be less frequent these days.
Unlike a former #1 now playing at Port.I like the fact that he left home at 14 & moved to Adelaide to improve his chances of making an AFL list.
Shows me that he's got a lot of determination to succeed. I don't think we need worry about his attitude.
He acknowledged that in an interview I saw. I think his words were that he hunts the contest so much he neglects his outside game.This is another inside midfielder, albeit a pacier one than Hopper & Taranto, but he doesn't have an outside game, I think you could maybe improve that area with some good coaching but there's definitely an element of project.

Gave up reading this threadNot much for these calls! What's a kid supposed to say, or in Yze's case, the conversation is pretty one dimensional. It's all for the fans i guess, but maybe Yze could have trown a herring in there and said "Your plane leaves in 18 minutes, make sure you're on it"!
