Emma Quayle's Draft Guide

Re: Emma Quayle's Draft Guide

Surely we take best available?

Who cares if they are 'inside', or 'outside' -- we have needs all over the park.

Kerridge would be a slight reach at pick 17 IMO. I rate him, but there should be a couple better still available.

Really interesting to see if the recruiter or coach wins out on this one.

Re: Emma Quayle's Draft Guide

As I started prior to this been reported, Crozier will not be picked up if B Mac has anything to do with it.

I don't understand why anyone would refer to Crozier as 'flighty'. If we overlook Crozier (or someone else) because they are perceived as 'skinny' at age 17 (Crozier is not 18 till late December) then that is just dumb. Most everyone is skinny at 17 - they grow. Kids who have elite skills at 17 still have elite skills at 29...those who have questions over skill level at 17 often have those same questions hanging over them 5 and 10 years later.

I so wish we had overlooked Robert Murphy for an inside mid all those years ago. That would have made all the difference.

Re: Emma Quayle's Draft Guide

Do you know why Desi? Is it a character issue or the type of player he is?

No idea Baz, Im guesiing due to his so called laconic nature that has been reported.
I cant say I agree with not picking up a skinny player. If they have the potential to become A graders, we should look at them regardless of size.
If they lack intensity, I would think twice.

Cheers, thanks for that. I guess all will be revealed in just over 4 hours time.

Re: Emma Quayle's Draft Guide

I cant see B Mac wanting a 68kg player in Crozier who comes in and out of games and lacks some intensity by some reports.

He should want him. He's the youngest in the draft and won't have problems adding some weight. He reminds me a bit of Robert Murphy.

Re: Emma Quayle's Draft Guide

Crozier looks a class unit for a young kid on the youtube highlights. Genuine football talent. Could be star. But if he doesn't fit the game style we shouldnt recruit him.
