Do you know if he kicked them by taking overhead marks or smart movement on the lead losing his opponent? Would love a bull who can take a good mark

Also played HBF in last years the futures game and dominated. And went back to HBF in last quarter of vfl academy game and racked up possessions, but couldn’t hit a target (as I’m sure we’re all aware).

That play at 2.45 when he dribbles the ball off the ground to him then sprints away to get the 1-2 then delivers a lace out pass. Drool.

I’m not an under 18 watcher… who fits this description most is who I think we need to draft.
Extremely fast.. more outside/spread runner… classy/skilful/footy smarts.
I’m hearing Rodriguez a lot? Does this sound like him?

Reid for 1st this year and next, while using Norths pick 1 to take a top 5 talent.
Is that the thought process?

Looking at my post from earlier in this thread below is a breakdown of the next 3-4 years, but having a big focus on the 2025 draft.
Targeting a team that is competitive around 2028/9, below lists the players currently on the list:
HB: Trainor, Gibcus, xxxx
B: xxxx , Balta, Brown
C: HRS, Smillie, Banks
HF: Hotton, Faull, Campbell
F: Mansell, Armstrong, Sims
R: xxxx, xxxx, Lalor
Int: Taranto, Hopper, McAuliffe, Alger,
Looking at this the midfield still needs players, our number 1 ruckman (this could always be a traded target in future), small defenders. I’m assuming H.Reid will remain at WC until the end of 2026 and we’ll target him then. Targeting a small or attacking defender as a FA could be a good option.
2025
Draft
Willem Duursma - midfield/utility speed - I can see him being a perfect wingman as a floor, while being a Fyfe like player as a ceiling (look at Fyfe in his draft year)
Cooper Duff-Tytler - Ruck/extra mid
Fred Rodriguez - midfield outside speed and skill
Dyson Sharp - midfield grunt
Oliver Greeves - midfield
Sam Grjl - midfield/defence - speed
Josh Lindsay - midfield/defence - kicking
Louis Kellaway - FS pick midfielder (approx pick 40+)
2026
Draft
Tanner Armstrong - small forward/defender, moving into midfield in 2025 - NGA prospect (approx pick 20+)
Jack Leys - midfield/Forward - FS (approx pick 30+)
Archie Daffy - small forward (approx rookie prospect)
Trade
Harley Reid - trade 2026 F1 and 2027 F1, plus one of Miller or Blight
FA
Butters - offer a big front ended contract 6 years $7m($2m-2.5m year 1), the attraction is joining Harley, Lalor, Smillie and Hotton, in front of the Tiger army.
Looking at the above if this was to play out this way I would be willing to go for a CDT in this years draft, given 2024 and 2025 draft hand allows a couple of high risk selections. I think the FA and big trades (ala Reid) would have a good understanding of destination/intentions 12-18months out hence if we know about Reid/Butters it also gives more freedom to a CDT selection.
In saying that I have us going into the 2025 draft with either pick 1 or 2/3 (pending our 8pt matches against WC and 3 is if Allan compo comes in) and picks 5 or 6 and I’m always big on drafting best available with these premium picks. I would go with CDT for our first pick and of those listed above I’m looking at speed and foot skills and that’s where Lindsay comes into play, depending where he rates we could trade down to get more picks in 2025 or 2026. Going into 2027 we’re competitive and develop as a team but just need another year of development for our key forwards hence from 2028 onwards we’re challenging for premierships.
2028 Round 1 team:
HB: Trainor, Gibcus, T.Armstrong
B: Lindsay, Balta, Brown
C: HRS, Smillie, Campbell
HF: Hotton, Faull, Lalor
F: Mansell, H.Armstrong, Sims
R: CDT, Butters, Reid
Int: Taranto, Banks, Leys, Alger,
Depth - Hopper, Rioli, Clarke, Green, Kellaway, Daffy, Leys 2, 2027 drafts

In my opinion the best thing about our draft was we went with talls mostly because they take a bit longer to mature , Am hoping we will address the other areas now with 1 year behind our taller players we should start seeing a rapid rise in 2027 and probably knocking on the door of finals 2028 , if the 2024 draft pays off ... Super excited about our future I enjoy our vfl games nearly as much as the afl which is pleasing because I never really paid much attention in the past

Greaves is not a shite kick. It was windy at Moorabbin and he had an ordinary day kicking wise. Nbr 1 pick.
Along with Grlj, looking forward to seeing how Rory Wright plays at the National Championships.
Similar player to [PLAYERCARD]Hayden Young[/PLAYERCARD] in my eyes (though not as good a kick) and has some nice lateral movement to get out of stoppage.
I generally take not a lot of stock in the exhibition games like the AFL Academy and U17 Futures Games; so really looking forward to the champs.

Most of the early draft predictors I’ve seen have Greeves going btwn 6-10, which imo is about right.
No doubt who ever picks him up is getting an inside bull, that’ll most likely be right up there in contested ball/ clearance numbers.
But there’s a reason he is not ranked higher, and it’s his footskills. I watched the game on the weekend, and yes it was hot and windy but he went under 50%. I’m no expert on kicking mechanics, but it looked a bit up and under to me. He blazed away on the long kicks and missed plenty of shorter kicks.

Race to be pick 1 wide open; lots of academy-linked players
A number of talented young players could put their hand up to be the No. 1 prospect, but be warned, there are academy and NGA-linked players everywhere in Jasper Chellappah's April Power Rankings.www.espn.com.au

kane gets injured a lot. we should be playing him instead of prestia who needs to retire. he’s better than dow ross and hopper but too many muppets here think hopper is better.
getting games into kane should be priority number 1 imo. hes a player that if he takes off can totally reshape our midfield to look a lot more dynamic.
