Another Josh for me: Carr.SCOOP said:Actually, on only on highlights, (I have no knowledge at all of this boy) he reminds me of Josh Caddy.
The right type for what we need.
SAF said:There is a big different bewteen starring in one VFL game and being a top line AFL player.
mld said:True. We should only draft players who have proven themselves at AFL level.
And no one said he will be a 200 game brownlow medalist.SAF said:Good idea, while we at it why not just close down the club and give our licence back to the AFL. Seriously, I was trying to say that it doesn't mean he is going to make it at AFL level just because he played one good game at VFL level, there are more important criteria young players should evaluated against. What you are saying is just stupid.

mld said:Just seems a weird comment to make; of course form at lower levels may not translate to form at AFL level; this applies to all players and I haven't seen anyone suggest otherwise. Taking your comment to its logical conclusion leads to my comment; I guess that's where the stupidity you see in mine comes from.
Agree, it's tough when there's so many smug, condescending know it alls on here SAF.SAF said:There is a hell of a lot more "Captain Obvious" posts on here than what I said that don't get any ridicule. I was only responding to the quote from a BF poster who was making it sound as though Arnot was to be the best late pick of this draft based on one VFL game he saw which I thought was a bit over the top.
Anyway this whole interaction is reminding me why I come on PRE less and less these days, like so many others before me I think I'll just logoff here and spend my time more wisely.

GoodOne said:Hopefully not as mad as running around in circles.

His highlight clip looks awesome, but he slipped to 55 in a supposed weak draft..why??
For me his positives - athletic, good skills, intensity, strong build, has played against men and done well (see post prior of his Port game)
Would have preferred a bit more height, but you can't have everything.
