Doubt he or Scharenberg will have any problems transitioning to the midfield
Bring back the Miz girl MCG or I will get you banned
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

Are there any stand-outs for Vic Country?
Ill get howled down but I always feel a good tough country kid is better than a good city private school kid.
(Yes yes Chris Judd I know).

You just want the guy who hasn't left the gym since he was 9
If we want to stick to Vic boys, we could do worse than Nat Freeman, especially after his draft camp performances. Said by some to be a dynamic player. Pick 3 probably too high for him though.

Exactly. As if any club is in a position to ignore the talent available in the other states. I mean, people still laugh at Ricnmond taking Tambling over Franklin but people here would've passed on Buddy and picked up a good VIC kid instead.
Let's remember the lowly Bulldogs took Cooney and Griffen from SA years ago and they still remain at the Western Oval.
If we're going to be a serious team we must recruit the best talent available. Regardless of type of player; regardless of where they live!
I've seen Aish a number of times and I am a fan. The Ebert analogy however is a very good one _ there will always be crows fans pining for Aish. Perhaps a stronger club like a hawthorn or collingwood could keep him for 10 years, but I agree it would be a constant battle for us - and ultimately one distraction we could do without every year.As long as we draft someone who has an equally good or better afl career !!
Sounds like the crows might be looking to package up 2 players to make a play for pick 2 (and Aish) as we speak.
Speaking of SA boys , I would be over the moon if we can get Trent Dumont . He has impressed me.

Great player but gee he looks little.
Is he really 184 ?
He's a little guy from what i have seen but it might be that he has a big head so looks little bodied. He could be an Adam Schnieder type in my view so not sure how he would go as a mid. He is supposedly one of the most skilled in the draft and some have said could be the best player in it. The concern is he is like a bit of a lead up HFF so hard to use well, if he can adjust to a mid role he will be a steal, if not he's another small forward.
He is not a mid. Outside hit up forward with great skills. His lack of height/size worries me.

Lewis Taylor is the best under 18 after Boyd. His size will see him slip to anywhere between 6-14. Will be a bargain, he really is a Boomer Harvey clone, just as good around goals. Gonna be a great Supercoach get.

I like Nathan Freeman too. Fast as a lubricated pig on speed.

This worries me more than anything. I am pretty sure our recruiters know he is not what we need. The reasons why have already been covered and well documented on various forums.
Fiora analogy aside, can I just clarify a few things. My thesis is that we should only take the risk of taking Aish if he is a major upgrade from a Kelly or a Billings or whoever. I just perceive a huge risk that he will go home to SA to teams that are challenging in two years time. If there is a cigarette paper between Aish and the Vic boys, why would you take the risk when you know the crow eaters will be especially hovering over this kid? they are already trying to secure pick 2 to take him. I am most certainly not against taking interstate kids, i just think we need to be very careful with this one. Secondly, I am not professing to be an expert on young talent in the draft. I have absolute faith in the current list management team and applaud their ballsy decisions on Goddard and Mac. I am sure they are doing a very thorough due diligence on a raft of candidates. My opinion on this one may seem alarmist, but I can just see this one ending in tears...
Finally, we are in this dire list position because Ross ignored the warning of my house: Winter is Coming....
