wow, that jordan galluci standing jump.
Sam Powell-Pepperā¦ Endurance and agilityā¦ happy days.
The way he plays, I would have thought McGrath might have featured in the top 10 in the 20m sprint. Hmm.
His leap is very impressive though and goes some way to compensating for his lack of height.

Yeah, but can they play footy?
Very late to the SPP train but gee I like the "highlights", yes "highlights" that I've seen. Very classy.
Sam Powell-Pepper or Sam Petrevski-Seton? SPP or SPS?
Iām hoping Gallucci will be there at 20.
Just focussing on later picks/rookie picks.
I see the need for a ruckman/forward in 2-3 years to play the SMACK role, who can actually play it.
Do we look to getting a young bloke in now and spend time developing him as we are Gach OR do we wait and trade?
Thoughts on this?

Iād like to know this as well. Iām generally of the opinion to draft ruckmen after a few years but
fwiw Ratugolea seems like an athletic solid type who can kick goals too. Reportedly only been playing for 4 years. Might be a bit short although could still be growing.

If we had the opportunity, which we wonāt, Iād take English. But Iāve been of the opinion for a while now that it is almost a waste to take a project tall in the draft, especially in the first few rounds. They take at least 5 years to start to return investment, and at that age, if they are any good, they attract wild offers from everywhere. We may be better off leaving key talls and rucks to trade.

Presumably thatās what recruiters spent the last 2-3 years deciding before nominating them for the combine.
Where the fark is the āCan Play Footyā test? EH???
Sometimes spelling footy is more important to some than smelling footy.

I quite like rutogolea, but I have doubts as a ruck. Forward/ruck role.
English worries me. He looks like a 15 year project that could easily end up as Josh Fraser. Not keen to pay the early price that seems required.
Donāt mind the look of Ladhams.
Chris Ladhams
Ratugolea is just too small to ruck at afl level, full stop. His leap means he can compete at centre bounces, but heās just badly outsized at throwins especially where heās less likely to get a run up.
I like him as a development kpp prospect (especially with a 2.93 sec 20m sprint time!) but I donāt think heās a legit afl ruck prospect.

In a similar vein, what do you think of Onagle?

Havenāt seen enough of him to say.
If we want some ruck backup this year Iād be looking at snagging ladhams or lynch with a late pick, depending on how they tested. Or waiting for Hayes next year.
Chris Ladhams
Isnāt he the guy that got off the plane from Adelaide crying?
Where the fark is the 'Can Play Footy' test? EH????????
Exactly. Some of the top prospects hardly feature. A couple of years ago someone said Ambo ran the beep test off the scale. ( Edit: Ambo: 16.3 , record around 17.0 : Sebastian Coe)
They got it all wrong. They need to play a game called Beep, these guys would be brilliant at it.

Butā¦ butā¦ he has hair like NicNat. Doesnāt that mean he has to be the same player?
