List Mgmt. Welcome Jobe Shanahan (Pick 30, 2024 National Draft)

[Monocle]

Why can't we ever have nice things.

We just got one.





I think he looks pretty good in # 17.

 

[ROO DOGG]

12 on WCE draft board. Top rated KPP and we got the best leading and marking tall forward in the draft at 30.

What number was Allen on our draft board?

“His knee has degenerated”: Worrying health reports emerge about Eagles skipper Allen

“He's probably got a knee of someone in their late 30s, early 40s.”

Holy shit that's not good

Welcome Jobe to Wce , don’t know how we managed to get him on our list , I thought he’d be gone in the 1st Rd ..

Wtf happened to Barnett? Wasn't he supposed to be the premium ruck of his draft class?

Ruck/talls take longer to develop Seaby , Lycett are some examples..
No point being too impatient just have to let them grow and develop ..

Wait a sec... Duane thought Jobe played for Vic Country.
He actually played for the Allies.
What is he on?

Posting this as it has his draft camp results

14. Jobe Shanahan (Richmond)​

Bendigo Pioneers/Allies
Tall forward, 195cm, 2/8/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 12.9 disposals, 8.5 contested possessions, 2.1 goals
The Age’s August top 30: 21 October top 30: 17 November top 40: 14
Agility test: 8.77 secs 20m sprint: 3.1 secs 2km time trial: 6:39 mins

The Tigers’ hunt for Jack Riewoldt’s successor leads them to Shanahan, who kicked goals at every level he played this year. He is a strong runner, an excellent field and set-shot kick, presents in the right areas, is a smart judge of aerial balls and makes good decisions. Shanahan can play down back, too, which only adds to his appeal.
If not: Richmond might instead go for Jack or Matt Whitlock, the latter of whom can also play at both ends and is a late riser for many clubs as the draft approaches.

Jobe is the sharp end of our picks IMHO, injects a McGovern like marking ability and administers a Hunter like swingman we have been sadly missing.

All in all, getting him is the shot in the arm we needed.

Can see him giving nightmares to Amiss for years to come (although it’s not like he looks like he sleeping well now).

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Big, strong but agile leading forward with a long accurate boot. Tough as a cats head and no nonsense effort player. Sooooo much to like with this one, I see a future star here

 

[Spooky17]

Hopefully we haven’t pulled the trigger yet on Allen’s mega contract extension. His knee is going to be an ongoing issue by the sounds.

Yep, also hand over the captaincie while he's at it. With an ever increasing young team, they need someone who will be reliably available every week
