What do you mean by that?
Guys you didnāt rate bolting or vice versa sliding late

So he is Greek in that case and the pronunciation was correct.
If they were offering 2 X 2nds and a 3rd for 4, what would you sayā¦

I reckon it was in one of the articles that he was pretty good from that perspective, but not sure which one. ā¦
Actually this is what I was thinking of
āwhile Tsatas averaged a whopping 32.8 disposals, 9.0 score involvements and 8.0 marks from four gamesā

None really, since the season finished Iāve had a fairly good understanding of what I like and donāt like about players and most vision I have seen since has only really affirmed what I thought.
Guess the other thing is that 2016 when Ridley was in his draft year was my first year properly going to games and covering the draft, Iāve come a fair way since then and have a better understanding of what to look for. Every failed or successful player since then is data in my head of what I can learn from not liking or liking too much of a certain player.

Just went back on my May rankings and there are 13 players in my top 20 that are still there now, talls like Lemmey and Scully certainly fell away. Players like Szybkowski, K.Ryan, Gilbey and Green are still players I donāt mind in the 2nd to 3rd round of the draft.
In terms of players to bolt in it took awhile for me to warm to Humphrey and thatās a player I certainly had to go back for footage to get a better read, I had Ginbey pegged as a good half back prospect before his stellar champs as a mid and MacKenize/Hotton really pushed their claims at the championships.

Cal seems pretty confident he will last past pick 40

Intrigued by the name Steely Green.
Extensive (three minutes) googling tells me he was struck by lightning, and he had a 30+ possession game in WAFL seniors.
Not at the same time.

This is from Adam DāAloia profile, pick 22 might be a tad early for some but might be a good partnership with Phillipou if we go with him
āAdam was our (SA U18) captain this year and was the U17 captain last year.
āHe is one of the most honest footballers I have ever worked with and been lucky enough to be involved with.
āHeās just an exceptional young man. I was lucky enough to meet his parents at the (State U18) presentation night and you meet his parents and realise this is why this boy is the way he is.
āThey are great people with great values and Adam is the same.
āHe was voted in as our captain by the players and coaches unanimously this year ā there was a massive gap between him and the next player.
āI liken him to (Tom) Liberatore ā heās very inside and tough. He does all the dirty work which then makes other midfielders look good.
āIf you were to ask Mattaes (Phillipou) who he would like to play midfield with, I am pretty sure he would be saying Adam.
āAdam made Mattaes look pretty good at times this year, both in National champs games and at the Eagles.ā

Some of the pou highlights reminds me luke hodge.
He looks very good. Probably a great value pick at 22. Reminds me of Merret a little as there are no real faults in his game, just his size may push him back.

I donāt think it will be right, but it looks amazing for Essendon if it is.

Why have they got GWS matching an academy pick at 19? Surely they donāt actually get yet another exception to the new rule?
