Give him No. 17 next year.

Yep.

He will carry it with distinction for years.

Captain Bloodnut?

Can I please reiterate he has a large cranium.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?

The way JAckson has used our first pick when compared to Miller, and before him Beck has been stark. From what I've noticed watching the juniors if you don;t have one of the first 3 or 4 picks it is very important to go the 'solid citizen' type. When you have a really early pick, by all means go Cotch, Gibbs, Nattanui - but if you are in the 7-15 range much better to make the safe bet that might not be a sueperstar but will almost certainly give you 10 years good service.

These players are usually not that hard to spot at the championships. Theyre often the captain, or play centre and end up getting 25 odd possessions, but without being super eye catching. I remember really distinctly the 2005 draft. After the first 4 or 5 picks you could tell the really highlight reel types had all gone. We had pick 8 and the saf ebets were obvious in Nathan Jones and Hurn. Instead Miller tried to be clever and the rest is history.

Jackson has done the opposite with the 7-15 range picks. He's gone with solid ballwinners and sold leader types. Vlas, Conca and Ellis should all serve us well for years. THe lesson from the Geelong dynasty has been that you need a good half dozen of these types in any premiership team. If one of the turns out to be a Voss/ Riccuito thats a bonus. Don't wanna jinx it but that is how good Rasputin is looking like shaping up as at this very ealry stage.

Haha, thanks guys, that gave me a chuckle! Just a touch of pressure on the (hopefully in the future) broad McBean!

Elite kid who got a full year of AFL training while playing a lower grade of footy, premium way to smooth the pathway.

Watch our boy come home with a wet sail though.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?

Better then Whitfield.

 

[Sintiger]

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?

To me the closest comparison I have to a first year player is Joel Sellwood.

Does everything well , a footballer more than an athlete, looked comfortable from day 1, leader.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?

The more I see of him the more I think of Nathan Buckley.

 

[spook]

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?

He gets his hands dirtier than Buckley. Closer to selwood

Yep agree with this, Buckleyw as mostly an outside player, floss is anything but.

Now your getting really excited. Whitfield is class too

Whitfield is not lightning by any means in terms of pace which is really the only thing that would set him apart from the big V. Big V has more courage, poise and determination then Whitfield from what i've seen. I know it's early days but I think the Big V will have more impact on contests and games in general.

He is a gun.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?

Reminds me of our own Dustin Martin in his first year.

A boy in a man's body, good long kick, strong as an ox, not afraid to take the game on.
