Sharman
Natural forward, natural player
Good hands, air and ground balls
Good user, hand or foot. Good set shot.
Good decision maker, natural courage. Doesn’t hesitate which allows him to contest and time to make good decisions.
Needs to get bigger and stronger and fitter
Will be a player, great prospect

Re: Petracca
Sharman is very similar to what McCartin is. A natural forward.

Hang on - I have been thanks 491 times and only thanked others 68 - Is it all about me????Ghost Like wrote: ↑Mon 30 Aug 2021 9:07am
No need for me to make this about you, you have that covered. Here's why I know that and why I also know you don't care about anyone else's take - check your ratio of being thanked to the number of times you thank.
Oh - and BTW - where can I cash in my 423 spare Thanks? LOL!

Re: Petracca
I knew you wouldn't care for my opinion B.M., was surprised you asked. Not surprised by your response.
However it seems you do care about an opinion when it's not in agreement with yours.

Only you know the answer to that Sainter_Dad but going by the style of your posts, I'd say not.Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Mon 30 Aug 2021 1:44pmHang on - I have been thanks 491 times and only thanked others 68 - Is it all about me????Ghost Like wrote: ↑Mon 30 Aug 2021 9:07am

So - my spare "Thanks" are only worth the same as Reddit Karma - WTF do we do this??? I thought I could cash all these Internet Points in at some stage - but if not - why are people so upset by others opinions - you are all 0's and 1's to me now!

Re: Petracca
I have no answers for you S_D, except opinions upset people for a variety of reasons.
An opinion of someone's opinion, is just that, an opinion. Ask the person who is upset.

Re: Petracca
FWIW,
Drafting both Allison and Sharman in the mid year, the club would be rapt that one of them has stood out at senior level.
You don't know how a kid is going to adjust to the leap from VFL to AFL. Sharman has thrived, looks better at AFL than VFL.
Allison, bit younger, not much so far, cost us nothing....

Re: Petracca
We took took Allison at last years draft, it was Heath who we took with Sherman at mid season draft. You are right though Sherman adapted straight away but we don’t know about Allison yet.

Re: Petracca
If we drafted Petracca everyone would be now complaining that the Dees have a 3 time Coleman winner whilst our mid is underperforming. Billings could have won a flag and The Bont spraying em into F50. All about the development.

Re: Petracca
Why do people always assume that an 18 yo kids form is going to improve if they are not given the right development? Have a look at Melbourne and Western Bulldogs for the period that Bont and Petracca have been involved in. Then look at ours - Bont and Petracca did not inspire the success - the success dragged them along. General team development has assisted them.SaintDippa wrote: ↑Tue 31 Aug 2021 10:27am If we drafted Petracca everyone would be now complaining that the Dees have a 3 time Coleman winner whilst our mid is underperforming.

Re: Petracca
I can only think of a few drafting mistakes (without hindsight)
In the past 20 years from my point of view
Probably 5
Petracca the glaring one!!!

Shame that we let him slip to a club that always gets it right. Scully Trengrove Toumpas Tapscott Watts they just nail it.

Re: Petracca
It's not whether Melbourne always get it right or don't get it right, it is more the fact St Kilda cannot afford to get it that wrong.

Re: Petracca
I liked Paddy early days. He had some games where he looked really dangerous. Could have become a good player for us. Never as good as Petracca but it would hurt less if not for his career being destroyed by concussion.

Re: Petracca
Is great now but was he great in his first year when he did his knee ..... think nearly all of us were like thank fk we didnt pick Petracca at that time
Then everything flipped with Paddy's unforeseen concussion issues
The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!
