Everything in life can be fixed so long as people are prepared to speak up and the people running the show are prepared to listen and acknowledge their performance is poor and be willing to change.
I don’t know about other clubs, maybe they have issues but until someone who closely follows those teams writes about it then it’s moot.
Fair enough, I see a lot of upside to eastham though and his game on the weekend had people excited is what I have been hearing. If he can continue this form and have a consistent season I wonder where he will lie on draft boards. Mitch stevens (father son) looked to have hit the scoreboard as well I wonder what his stocks will look like after 2-3 years of not much play due to leg injuries
Eastham should've had a handful on the weekend. Exciting and has sticky mitts. hope the young lad continues this form.
Are you being under reactive to Taj's game here. Players who perform at that level are drafted top 5 with very few exceptions.
i take into account 3 years of football, its not based on 1 game... also what i think they could do at the next level ect, they go up and down the rankings as i see more evidence of what type of player they are and how likely they are to making it at the next level, its a process, im a 1 man team covering hundreds of junior footballers and making calls based on my memory which is pretty good.
I appreciate your 3 year approach and your analysis in general. I genuinely learn a lot from your analysis.
time balances it, if within a month he is still dominating whether it be afl academy or private school ect, then you rise, if he has a few poor games then you keep them where they are or drop, up until the champs theres a lot of movement in rankings, after the champs, most of the draftees are in their right position and the only things to influence the rankings are finals or combine results pretty much, from what i have noticed.
Fair points but he’s 17 and still has a lot of body change to occur. The only way wce pass on a big bodied mid is if someone comes up with decent trade.
I think there's a good chance west coast split the pick and go with a more outside leaning player with good pace and foot skills and a KPP.
Still think we’ll deal with Gold Coast so they can get a player before Lombard. 1 and F2 for 4,10,20 based on last year’s ladder position. Hopefully that would get Jagga, Lalor and Mraz. Plenty of water to go under the bridge though.
Just maybe Finn has something to say about that!
