I really do not understand why you are using this forum to ridicule a kid. Perhaps you should create a new forum titled "players who shouldn't be drafted". The whole point of this thread is to discuss kids that are likely to be drafted and I see no value in being completely critical and negative. As others have said in this thread, how many 17-18 year old ruckmen are playing senior footy? I think that Nathan Bassett accepts that he is going to beaten in the ruck more often than not, however, one of the great things he has been able to do is nullify the more experienced rucks in terms of making their taps ineffective. I brought up the u18 state carnival because it is easier to compare apples with apples and measure this kid against other kids his same age. I accept that he won't be rucking against kids in the AFL, however as others have also said he will play in a local comp while they physically and mentally develop him. Based on your argument of not measuring his ability on the u18 Carnival do we also discount Sam Day for example? Sam is being talked up as a top 3 but has not played senior football. I for one beleive Sam will and should go top three and beleive Daniel GOrringe will go in the top 10 if not earlier. The reason is because clubs are picking based on potential. This is one of the reasons why he will go early. The AFL scouts will base their decisions on his performance at u18 level, where he earnt All Australia I might add and his games at reserves and senior levels this year. Whilst he has deficiencies in his game they will look at how they can develop him, based on potential. An example would be that he has a fantastic vertical leap, so this would excite AFL clubs. He led hit outs in the State Canrival by a mile so the clubs will be thinking how can we further develop this kid so that he can get to the next level - again its about potential. There are very few draft picks, particulalry talls that will play AFL football in their first year.
Can I urge you to stop being so negative and respect this thread for what it is. As I mentioned in an earlier post you have already had most of your posts deleted due to them being inappropriate so why go down that road again? You obviously have an issue with this kid, but for goodness sakes stop making it public as its rather embarrasing for you.
The context behind this 🤣
