Re: Live draft thread
Gee wizz...I just finished watching the highlights video and he hardly took more than a few steps in it. So how the heck did you guys work out that he was slow?DJ Higgins wrote:He makes Goddard look quickCon Gorozidis wrote:Nice in the air. Nice leap. Nice kick.

I reckon he looked pretty promising.

Re: Live draft thread
this draft is disappointing for me. 3 half back flankers and one key back. WTF

with Higgins or someone fleet of foot
(Monty did that with Kosi the week before Kosi's last game, so Kosi would get picked,
helped by the big kms!!!)

Re: Live draft thread
Paton's highlight reel is very underwhelming, especially when compare to Joel Garner, who was still available

I picked Clark and Coffield back on November 2. A whole three weeks before anyone else.
Are you saying Clavarino is fast?

Re: Live draft thread
Paton is a dead ringer for Baily Rice the way he plays... Not sure why we need another of the type

Re: Live draft thread
maybe richo has hatched a cunning game plan, modelled on the all blacks, of running the ball up from the back 50 in a single line, dishing off horizontal or backwards handballs the entire way? worth a shot!?

Use your eyes.
3.18 in the 20m sprint at the draft combine.
Knighmare lists this as a weakness.
To my naked eye he looks very slow.
If you can provide evidence to rebut my three points - then be my guest and I will change my opinion.
Just saying 'I have no idea'. Or saying 'hes not slow' is not evidence.
Or dont you think you need evidence? Are your opinions so great they require no supporting evidence whatsoever?

Re: Live draft thread
He just got drafted and was rated Top 10 last year. Doesn't happen if your slow intercept defender.

Re: Live draft thread
Excuse my lack of posting, but of these four selections, can any of them kick a football? That is my main question and should be the main reason for selection. Every player in the first three rounds should want it, but I only want players that can deliver a football
