“Hey piggy - what do you want us to put down as your nick?”
“Can we make it ‘Hammer’?”
‘Hammer’??? WTAF man - you’re a puny munchkin!
“Please? Hammer?” “Aww…fark ok. Hammer you are”
Is it just me, or everytime I see him I think he makes Gleeson look ripped. I feel like he’ll need at least another full season in the gym before he’s physically ready for senior footy
Same situation as Fantasia. Skinny kid with a lot of upside. No need to rush him. Get him for nothing, spend time developing him, potential star for very little.
No. Historically we went for role players with late picks. This year we didn’t have any urgent gaps, so went for long development upside players.
All of our picks could realistically be very good players, but just as realistically each of them could hit a wall and fail. Having a risky crack at an A grader is better for the team at the moment than bringing in a reliable C grade role player.
I think it was @Humble_Minion before this draft saying our strategy in this draft should be to swing for the fences. It seems we did just that. Hopefully 1 or 2 of them come off.
