Fixed it up. The trades looked a bit less even than what's been proposed

Not a great Beep, but ok.

It's pretty good. McLean, Webb, Hamilton, Dale and Smith were around that mark last year. Of course Daniel was the star.

Winner was 15.1

Re: Darcy McPherson

Winner was 15.1

I thought there was a 16.2.

14.8 is still pretty good but not elite.

Edit: From Emma Quayle:The business end. Level 16.2 for Josh Schoenfeld in the beep test, second best ever.

Re: Darcy McPherson

One of my kids, I don't want to mention which one so I won't mention her name, got a 3 on her beep test. She told me that it was OK she would have been higher because she had more time but couldn't be bothered running up and back any more,

It's all a bit pointless, really.

Re: Darcy McPherson

How do watchers compare Darcy with both Hrovat and Honeychurch?

For whatever it's worth I can understand why we'd trade Nathan (more value) but he's a better player than Honeychurch, who is very limited, so I'm interested to hear if Darcy is rated higher.

I've seen Darcy a few times and he's pretty similar to the midfield version of Dahlhaus as a player. Pretty scrappy inside mid, does heaps of tackling and seems to be at the bottom of every pack - will rack up 30 touches without being that noticeable in the same way Dahl does. He's got nice speed but not to the level of Dahl, nor from what I've seen is his disposal great, it's solid without being a weapon. I think he's more Honeychurch than Hrovat as he'll be expected to come in and play as a pressure forward who takes a turn through the midfield whereas I see Hrovat as an outside mid/wingman with better vision and disposal. I do think it's premature to say he's a better option than what we have, Honeychurch and Hrovat were Under 18 All Australians and Dahl was third in the Morrish Medal. Admittedly McPherson has battled injury but I think we are being hasty on Hrovat and Honey in particular

Re: Darcy McPherson

Why would we even send him to the combine?

Hide him away?

If I was the player I would go. You can't always rely on just one club to pick you.
