Speaker 1: We are giving you correct, absolutely no challenges between now

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: and whenever you're draft.

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: If you pick a player that is suddenly injured, that

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: is on you.

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: It's on you now. If you do want to read

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,759

Speaker 1: out the entire list there. But at the moment we're

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: going to go through the top thirty midfield rankings. And

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: just to be clear, this is for Super Coach Draft.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: If you want to check out our thoughts on midfielders

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: in Super Coach Classic the salary cap format, you can

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: check that out on this very feed. Our previous episode

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: yesterday we recorded on the lair. We're going to go

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: in conjunction with them talking midfielders in Classic, then jumping

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: on the Drafted podcast to talk all things draft. Let's

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: get started. Let's go through your top ten Lefdog and

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: we'll discuss this glorious top ten that you've got.

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, well do you want to go from first to

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: tenth or tenth to first?

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: We start win number one, number one, I.

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: Mean number one.

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: He's not just number one in the midfield, he's number

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 3: one in the comp he was last year as well.

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: It's Marcus BoNT and Pelli. He's the best player in

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: Super Coach. He might be the best player in the AFL.

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's roll through one through ten and then I

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: think we'll discuss each sort of little pick there.

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: So after the bond, we've got a young gun and

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 3: Nick dekos in at number two.

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: Zachi Butters falls at.

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: Number three, Zach Mister consistent number four, Caleb Sarong fifth,

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: Lockie Neil still a top ten player, number six, Andrew

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: bray Shaw is seventh, Josh Dunky is eighth, Luca Davies

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: a Uniac is ninth, and sitting at tenth.

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 4: I have Isaac Keeney.

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I think now we'll just discuss a few

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: of the individual players BoNT and Dekos top two, even

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: Butters third. I think there's no real arguments there. All

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: guys that could potentially go one twenty. Butters already did

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: go one twenty last year. Dekos, I think it was

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: a one seventeen. Maybe talk us through your tiers as

58
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: well at this point, Lekdog, and then we can discuss

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: sort of further. That's just briefly outline what tiers are. Again.

60
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: We did our draft one oh one episode the other week,

61
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: so we are going to be talking more at at

62
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: an in depth level now that we're into the official podcast.

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: But walk us through your tiers in that top ten.

64
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. There's a couple of things to note.

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: If your defense or mid or rock eligible, you'll be

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: found in those rankings, not in the midfield ranking. We're

67
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: just talking pure mids right the way I do my tiers.

68
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: So last year this was highlighted a lot where I'd like,

69
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: for instance, Zach Merritt ahead of Caleb Sarong, and everyone.

70
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: Lost their mind. Calub's wrong better than Zach Merritt.

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: I just have him slightly ahead, but they're both Tier

72
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: three players. So to me, the number one on his

73
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: own stand out Tier one player is Marcus BoNT and

74
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: Pelli and you do everything you can to get him.

75
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: Then at your next pick, if you had a Nick

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: Dekos or a Zach Butter's who I have in Tier

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: two available, I essentially have them on equal footing, so

78
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: you want to grab one of them if they're available

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: with your second pick, or with your first pick, if

80
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: bonds On available. And then Tier three is a bit bigger.

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: It's got Merits, a wrong Neil and Brayshaw in it,

82
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: and basically it's just I do have to put these

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: guys in an order, but I'm basically saying these guys

84
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: are all pretty much in the same spot. You'd be

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: happy with getting these guys anywhere around your selection, so.

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: It's not just mt of saying this guy's first, these

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: two guys are equal second, and these guys are all

88
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: like equal third.

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so that when you're talking about mid specific Yes,

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: and then I use those positional tiers when I'm putting

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: together the top one hundred, because I might bump ay

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: Tier one Ford above a like a Tier five midfielder,

93
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: even though he going to score lower, just because he's

94
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: got a rareer position. So they made him more in

95
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: the top one hundred. But yeah, as you said, Patch,

96
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: when we're talking midfielders, if they were if there's two

97
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: guys at a tier three and you're upset that ones

98
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: ahead of the other, they're basically in the same span.

99
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: Like, I'm incredibly mad at you disrespecting my boy Zach

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: Merritt like that disrespecting.

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: I think he's way higher then he actually averaged last

102
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: year versus some of these guys. Maybe walk us through

103
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: why you're so keen honor Zach Merritt this season. I

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: think you know Sarong was slightly above him. Locky Neil

105
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: was certainly averaged higher than him last season. But I'm

106
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: not arguing against Zach Merritt. He's an absolute gun, we

107
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: know that. But he's very high in your ranks.

108
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: He elect He is so one of the key factors

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: I put into these rankings instant just their average, it's

110
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: the total points they produce across the season. So Zaki Barrett,

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: he was fifth last year for total points in the

112
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: midfield and he's basically sits there every single year. And

113
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: for me, that consistency and that availability is really important.

114
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 3: Azak Nick Dakoss is above him just for upside and

115
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: he's just a beast. And then if you're gonna split

116
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: hairs in this tier three section, which is merits wrong

117
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: Neil and Brayshaw, I just feel like Merit for both

118
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: consistency and availability, he's probably a hair ahead of those

119
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 3: other guys. But you're right, Locke, Neil did average more

120
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: than him last year, and he played one less game

121
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: than him, and it basically comes out at they scored

122
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: the same amount of points.

123
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of other players I want to discuss.

124
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: I know I'm high on this guy. I think I

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: have him. I have him a touch lower in my ranks.

126
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: I think I have him at tenth, but still very high.

127
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: But Andrew Brayshaw at seven as well. From a memory,

128
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I think one hundred and nine average last year. So

129
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: putting him top ten, especially at seventh, just below the

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: likes of Locke Neil who averaged one twenty and just

131
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: slightly below Kalb's the wrong with average one fifteen. You're

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: expecting big things from Andrew Brayshaw in twenty twenty five.

133
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's another one where I just think there's some

134
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: upside built into his game. I think there's some extra

135
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: points maybe available in that Freemantle midfield and you know

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: through where I'm hoping that five stops going anywhere near it.

137
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see what Hayden Young Hayden Young's roles

138
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: in the new year. But I just think there's a

139
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: slight bit of upside in him. And again he's consistent,

140
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: he plays every game. He scored slightly less total points

141
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: than a Josh Dunkley, but I do think he's got

142
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: a bit of bit upside built into him. So, like

143
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: I'm pretty happy with anyone in these spots. Yeah, Brayshaw, Neil, Calebs, Rob,

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: they're all bloody good. But Brayshaw, for me, he's kind

145
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: of He's very similar to Zach Merritt, And you'll find

146
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: as we go through these ranks. I prefer a higher

147
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: floor than a higher ceiling. I just I mean, you'd

148
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: like both, but I prefer consistency, particularly in draft, particularly

149
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: because i'd recommend if you're running draft, you're not having

150
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: captains turned on. I just want guys who've going to

151
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: play every week and score points every week. I think

152
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: Bray sure merit. They fit the bill in that respect,

153
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: and they just get a little bump that as a result.

154
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: So Isaac Heeney was all the rage last year being

155
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: a forward and classic people frothed over him, and rightfully

156
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: so he was playing as a midfielder. Has lost that

157
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: forward eligibility and you've still got him in the top ten.

158
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: You think he's still a top ten midfielder standalone. Once

159
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: you take the forward the forward situation out, you know

160
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: we've got Mills coming back. This one has lost the

161
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: Grand Final. Having new coach, you're not worried about his role,

162
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: changing him maybe going forward to fix their forward line problems.

163
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: Well taught me through the hen Dog.

164
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting question. My assumption perats would be

165
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 3: that his role remains pretty similar to last year, So

166
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: a lot of midfield but also able to push forward

167
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: and kick goals. Yes, Callum Mills will be back, and

168
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: he may be back for two three whole games next

169
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: year or this year. It's going to be really impressive

170
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: when he does. But I just don't see there being

171
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: too much scope for Heene's role to change. Yes, he

172
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: lacks forward eligibility, so he won't be a Classic option,

173
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: but I still there's no reason why he can't score points.

174
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: I could see argument, so I got him in at

175
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: Tier five ahead of Tom Green, Patrick Cripps and then

176
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: No Anderson Christian Petrarca at tier six. You can argue

177
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: that maybe Tom Green out performs him. Maybe unbiased because

178
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: the first time I've ever owned Tom Green and Classic

179
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: last year he scored five points. Maybe I'm biased because

180
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: I'm not sure in Christian Petrarca's health. But I really

181
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: think there's no reason why Isaac Heeney can't outscore Errol Gordon,

182
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: Tom Green, and Patrick Cripps in total points in the

183
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: year twenty twenty five. I was really tossing up and

184
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: again this is splitting hairs between Erl Goulden and Isaac Heeney.

185
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 3: I think Errol Gordon's scope to play outside at times

186
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: can potentially hinder the hap on he's scoring, even though

187
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: we know he's got a massive ceiling, but Isaaciny, like

188
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: the Swans, are serious. He needs to continue playing in

189
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: their midfield and pushing forward and kicking goals in clutch moments,

190
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: which is what provides really good super coach scoring.

191
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you mentioned some of those names from eleven

192
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: to twenty. Do you want to run through the full

193
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: list of eleven to twenty four us, let's do that.

194
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: So eleven to twenty we've got. So it was Isaacini

195
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: at ten, Eryl Goulden at eleven, Tom Green at twelve.

196
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: They're both Tier five, Paddy Cripps at Tier five as

197
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: well at thirteen. Tier six is made up of two players,

198
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: Noah Anderson and Kristen Petrarca. That tier is really sort

199
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: of guys with upside compared work to where I've ranked them,

200
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: either upside because of age or upside because they missed

201
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: last year with a lot of injuries. Tier seven, which

202
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: is sixteenth and seventeenth, I've got Jack Steel and Rory

203
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: Lead they're your older inside mint and then closing out

204
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: the top twenty and Tier eight, i've got Sam Walsh

205
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: Adam Trelaw, which we may need to talk about Clayton

206
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: Oliver and then Chad Warner at twenty one, and that's

207
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: my top eight tied players.

208
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: All right, I'm keen to jump in here and discuss

209
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: a few players. I mean I personally, Yeah, I think

210
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm on board with Patrick. Did you have Tom Green

211
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: quite a bit higher like I did have him? I've

212
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: got him fifth actually my latest rankings. So I just

213
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: don't see many players at GWS able to play inside

214
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: mid and if he just I know, the disposal is

215
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: an issue, but you know, they do have an additional

216
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: package up forward this year for him to deliver to

217
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: as well, so hoping that he can sort of clean

218
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: up a few of those inefficiencies and really make a

219
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: massive jump this season. So I'm I'm kind of on board,

220
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: although I also copped that nasty classic hit last year

221
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: of the five. But we move on, and I've got

222
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: him pretty high in my rankings. Yeah, interested. Also just

223
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: before we quickly moved on there also got LDU really high.

224
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: I think you had him ninth. So but moving on

225
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: to the next bracket and yeah, player's let's discuss a

226
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: couple in there. Obviously, Adam Trelaw at nineteen you haven't

227
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: you said pre show and we now discuss it, but

228
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: you haven't adjusted these yet. Four injuries we've seen. Adam

229
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Trelaw is going to be out for an extended stretch

230
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: of the preseason and likely the start of the season

231
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: as well. You're going to adjust him down, But how

232
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: far do you think and what do you do with

233
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: these injuries in the preseason.

234
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a tough one. I actually felt like I

235
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: had him low to begin with because of potential injury risks.

236
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: So he was the ninth ranked midfielder last year for

237
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: total points, had a mammoth year, and I just didn't

238
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: even when I had him sitting here at what did

239
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: I have him meant nineteenth? I didn't even think. I

240
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: thought that was a risk, to be honest, but it

241
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: was hard to ignore the numbers. But because I was

242
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: worried about his health, he has proven that his health

243
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: is already questionable. So you have to bump him down,

244
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: But I'm not sure how far do you bump him down.

245
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: Is if he's on the board and you're choosing between him,

246
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: Tuck Miller and James Petling, who I have you know

247
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: in the thirties, Are you going to take any of

248
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: those two over him?

249
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 4: It would be.

250
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: It'd be tough too when you look at the season

251
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: on the whole, because you need Adam trelaw on park

252
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: towards the end of the year when you're pushing for finals,

253
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 3: and he is probably going to outscore those guys when

254
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: he's on the field. The question is can you trust

255
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: his health and so far notes So he probably drops

256
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: from nineteen down to twenty nine for me just off

257
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: the back of that preseason injury, but he is going

258
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: to outperform that on an average basis. It's just how

259
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: often is he going to be on the park.

260
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: I had him that far down even before the injury,

261
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: basically just because I was pre empty an injury because

262
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: he you know, last year was just a massive outlier

263
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: in his career that I didn't think that it was

264
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: something that Wood or could really continue because it's just,

265
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: you know, it's an outlier and maybe maybe shouldn't be

266
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: counted before him.

267
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, Patchricon.

268
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like there's no doubt that these scuse points

269
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: when he's fit, But how many years has he been

270
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: fit and played that full season? No, especially his age

271
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: and the club that he's at, who knows. The Bevo

272
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: factor also scares me. Sorry, Dussie, you were saying.

273
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: No, I was just saying, on the back of that,

274
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: what are you thinking?

275
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: Like?

276
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Adjustment wise, we can talk about forwards in the Forward Pod.

277
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: There's probably a few relevant names there, but a name

278
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: like Ed Richards, you know, starting to become a name

279
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: in classic circles, even as a potential option. But I

280
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: really like him as a player that could maybe go

281
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and five plus. Where do you see him

282
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: now that with this injury? Like I thought he could

283
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: perform pretty well regardless of the trilaw factor. But does

284
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: this impact him quite a bit? Or is it just

285
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: kind of like he's going to do what he did

286
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: regardless and those possessions might go to some other player

287
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: that will probably be talking about the Forward podcast, I'd.

288
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: Imagine depends on how Luke Beverage is feeling that particular

289
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon Maravel, Like, it's I hate predicting the dog

290
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: so much because Bebo does throw guys around. Richard's proved

291
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: that he was a good center abounds midfielder and a

292
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: good midfielder. But does he get moved to half back?

293
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: Does he move kind of forward? He's versatile enough that

294
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: that worries me a little bit, so I probably wouldn't

295
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: be jumping on him before twenty maybe a little bit

296
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: further up. But he's a good player, good football, should

297
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: be a good scorer. But I just I've got trust

298
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: issues with Luke Beveridge and he's going to have to

299
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: do a lot of work to come to the table

300
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: for us to resolve those issues, and we'll need to

301
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: go through some counseling before that can really I can

302
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: really trust him fully.

303
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: I think Libb is another one that is Probably he's

304
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: a guy that I struggled to fit in because I

305
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: was like, is he gonna keep doing what he did

306
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: last year? Was very good last year when he was

307
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: playing and scored a lot of points. Maybe he gets

308
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: a bit of a bump. You'd hope it's Riley Sanders

309
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: is the one that gets the bump. But literally, as

310
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,359
Speaker 3: you said, Patch, who knows.

311
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: Who knows where?

312
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: You can talk about them in the Fords Pod. Looking

313
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: forward to that. But there's a couple of other injury

314
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: guys here. Sam Walsh of your Blues you're a big

315
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Blues man. Was this factoring in before his hamstring setback

316
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: or was this including no, this.

317
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: Was assuming he would have a preseason injury. When I

318
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: made this, I'm mentally prepared as a Carton supporter to

319
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: get the Samwash notification every year. It's a hamstring, it's

320
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: not his backs broken, so it's a step up from

321
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: last year. Again, I think on an average basis he'll

322
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: outperform that, but at some point he's going to miss

323
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: time during the regular season and as a result he

324
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: gets bumped down to eighteen.

325
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 4: I think he.

326
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: Is he going to be our I was going to

327
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: say Carton's highest averaging midfielder when he plays, I might

328
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: say that. I think he'll be Carton's highest averaging midfield

329
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: where he plays. I think he'll perform crips and error.

330
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: I just don't know how many games he's going to play.

331
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 3: He's going to miss time at some point. You just

332
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: don't want it to be during your Super Coach Finals.

333
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: The Jaggers Smith slander from you is outrage.

334
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: JACKA.

335
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: Smith's going to be playing off half back, so he'll

336
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: probably have a decent eighty five to ninety average year.

337
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: One the latest on Petraca today from Melbourne was that

338
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: he's getting towards full contact trainings. We're still not there yet.

339
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: For those wondering what the update is, there's the full

340
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: yarn up on Code Sports and Harold Son if you're

341
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: intrigued for more. But basically, he's still not in full contact,

342
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: still wearing the no contact hat. So, yeah, do you

343
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: feel like you might move him up if you see

344
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: him in preseason games? You know, if you've got a

345
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: draft after some of those preseason games or you're pretty

346
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: you're still a bit worried, and he's still likely to

347
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: keep him around that mark, even if he's proved to

348
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 2: be fully fit.

349
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd need to say see him in the preseason

350
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: games because who's he might jump? Noah Anderson, who I've

351
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: got in the same tier. But is he going to

352
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: outperform a Paddy Cripps to Tom Green or an Errol Goulden. Maybe,

353
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: but probably not. I'm pretty comfortable with where he sits

354
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: given the question marks over him, and he's not the

355
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: same type of midfielder that a lot of these guys

356
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: are ahead of him. He's more of an impact guy

357
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: than a massive, massive accumulator. I know he can get

358
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: big numbers, but most of these other guys are like

359
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: they're going to get thirty touches every single game no

360
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: matter what, Whereas I feel like he's slightly more impactful,

361
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: so his scoring might be a bit more up and

362
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: down in twenty twenty five than these other guys. So

363
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: I'm pretty comfortable with him. He's ahead of Jack Steele.

364
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: I think we know what Jack Steel is going to

365
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: give us. My question mark over Saint Kilda is Saint

366
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: Kilda and the various additions they've had in Jack McCrae

367
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 3: and I mean Jack Carroll's not going to come in

368
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: and take midfield minutes, but they've added quite a lot

369
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: of depth to that midfield from other clubs, So I

370
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: think he'll just perform how he did last year and

371
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: Rory lad at seventeen. For me, it was the biggest

372
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: question mark because obviously dropped off last year in terms

373
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: of his scoring, but he's always available and there's an

374
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: opportunity that perhaps he goes back to his old half

375
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 3: back sort of role and allows more midfield time for

376
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: a James Peetling or a Dorson or whatever. So he's

377
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: a bit of an enigma for me because he could

378
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: be anywhere between one hundred and one hundred and fifteen

379
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: this year.

380
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, just on Lair the journo's working over here and

381
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: you can hear them on the Phantoms Lair podcast. But

382
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: Sime and Thomas Wilson mentioned just on the show in

383
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: the Midfielder is classic show that, Yeah, he sees Laird

384
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: as he has literally not been training midfield at all

385
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: this preseason, that he's expecting to just be playing as

386
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: a pure defender. So is your ranks kind of yeah,

387
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: him at seventeen, he just scores wherever he plays, is

388
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: my guest. But getting that DPP of defender would just

389
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: been added bonus, I suppose from that perspective electog.

390
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a little bit of that sort of planning

391
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: ahead if you get him, and as the seventeenth midfielder

392
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: taken in the in the draft, meaning you've probably got

393
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 3: one or two ahead of him, you're gonna end up

394
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: with it. And he does play defense a defensive role,

395
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: you're gonna end up with the best defender available, so

396
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: or maybe not including a couple other guys. But if

397
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: you look back at his years in past, he was

398
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: sort of averaging you know, one hundred to one twenty

399
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: in that defensive role and then he moved pure midfield

400
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: and really exploded.

401
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: But he's just going to score. He's just going to score.

402
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 3: They want the ball in his hands wherever he is,

403
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: and he's done it before, which is a big factor

404
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: for me. So yeah, he might not average what he

405
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: has averaged in terms of those high midfield ceiling numbers again,

406
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: but he could go one hundred and five as a

407
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 3: defender and that'd be a real win.

408
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably one of the big ones for me

409
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: that I've differentiated quite a bit. Like I've got him.

410
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: I think he'll average in the nineties still, he always

411
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: seems to do that, but I've kind of factored in

412
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: him playing defense. I still think he'll be a valuable

413
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: pick given that he will get likely defensive status, but

414
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: I sort of dropped him down a fair bit because

415
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: I think there's just a lot more mouths to feed

416
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: at Adelaide this year and it's kind of a different

417
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: setup that we're going to see. But that's what that's

418
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: why we're in ranking season. It's all about those projecting

419
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: those scores. One last guy that's been a massive talking

420
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: point in classic. I'll throw to you Patch for this one.

421
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: So Lecdog's got Clayton Oliver at twenty. Where do you

422
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: have him, and where do you see that? Because talk

423
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: about risk, I mean, this guy is probably the biggest

424
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: risk out there, but he could also provide great reward

425
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: if you're getting him as your twentieth best midfielder.

426
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean you look at his history and you

427
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: know that couple of years run of averages for the

428
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: season of one O nine, twenty three, one, twenty seven,

429
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: one twenty before his eighty four last year, Like he

430
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 2: I've got him ranked nine, and I was worried that

431
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: was a little bit low. Like if he's back to

432
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: his best, then he's a top five supercatch midfielder in

433
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: the competition. And from from everything that we've seen, it

434
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: appears that he's back from you know, the over the

435
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 2: personal troubles, having a preseason that you know, the preseason

436
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: we dreamed he would have last year. There's I think

437
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: all the signs point to him being back. Whether or

438
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: not that translates to scoring, to him still doing the

439
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: same stuff he did in the midfield is the risk

440
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: we take, and I'm more inclined to take that risk

441
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: this year. If you can get him at pick twenty, incredible,

442
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: But I can't fathom him being there in most drafts

443
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm I'm really Bullis shot him and I've got him

444
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: one spot ahead of Tom Green just based on that.

445
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 2: He So, yeah, what do you think, Dossie.

446
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be one of the great

447
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: talking points because he's locked into everyone's classic team or

448
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: most you know, he's in fifty percent of classic teams.

449
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: But in draft, where does he go is a great question.

450
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: I feel like in some drafts he'll be a really

451
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: valuable pick if he does deliver you know what we

452
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: think he will, And I'm probably on the board of thinking,

453
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to push that one ten sort

454
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: of mark. But yeah, he could be completely wrong and

455
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: he could go you know, you could just do what

456
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: he did last year or nineties and you're burning an

457
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: early pick. So I don't know. I'm fascinated. I think, yeah,

458
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: I had him at thirteen. Le's got him twenty, You've

459
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: got him nine. I feel like some people were have

460
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: him fifty, some people will have him third. So he's

461
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: it's going to be a fascinating watch and I'll be

462
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: checking out what his ADP is as the closer we

463
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: get to draft season as well, to just see where

464
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: he is going in some mock drafts. But honestly the

465
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: easiest answer for that is I have no idea where

466
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: where he going to go and also where I'd be

467
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: happy taking him. So despite having him at thirteen, like

468
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: it's always like, am I really can I do it?

469
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: Is the other thing as well, because that's what I

470
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: think he'll do. But come draft night, do I have

471
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: the guts to follow through? And I know I should be,

472
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: but it's going to be a I'll be second guessing myself,

473
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: I think as well.

474
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: So if yeah, I mean part of it is as well,

475
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: if you're taking him on the turn, if you're pick ten,

476
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: you can get you know, Clayton Olive a ten and

477
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: then get someone really reliable next to him. If you've

478
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: got like a you know, you want to lean in

479
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: and go with it. You say, elder U's there or

480
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: he Ne's there, or you know, someone said Dunky slip

481
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: a little bit. You can take someone really reliable on

482
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 2: the turn. You probably wouldn't be looking at him, and

483
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 2: you know pick five or pick six, and then you've

484
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 2: got to come back and you're like, oh, Jack Steel

485
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 2: alongside him doesn't feel particularly comfortable. But yeah, I think, yeah,

486
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: I think it'll be very fascinating to see where he and.

487
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: All of these questions of why got him sitting in

488
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 3: Tier eight next to Sam Walsh who question mark over

489
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: his body, Adam Trelaw who before we mate, before I

490
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: made this list, question mark over his body, and then

491
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 3: Chad Warner, and my question mark over Warner is like,

492
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: I don't know are you are you playing for Freeman

493
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: or are you really good?

494
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: Are you inconsistent? I'm not sure.

495
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 3: So Claytonova very squarely falls in my I don't know

496
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 3: tier and I think all the players ahead of him

497
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: in the tiers above him are a little bit safer

498
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: for various reasons. But he's locked into my classic team.

499
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: I hope he scores one hundred and twenty points every

500
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: every single week, and I wouldn't be totally surprised if

501
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 3: he did.

502
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 4: But it is a risk.

503
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Let's go through the twenty one, sorry, patch.

504
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: Were Oh, I was gonna say the exact same thing.

505
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get through the twenty one to thirty in

506
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: your midfield ranks here, so we know Chad Warner is

507
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: at twenty one, who's at twenty two?

508
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: So twenty two kicks off Tier nine, which consists of

509
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: Darcy Parish, Matt Rowel, Hayden Young, Jian Newcombe, Hugh mcluggage,

510
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 3: Jordan Dawson and Connor Rosie. And then Tier ten begins.

511
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 3: It starts with Tuck Miller and James Peeling to close

512
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: out the top thirty. Tier ten goes on for a

513
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 3: little while longer. But so to read those names again, Warner, Parish, Raw, Hayden, Young, Newcombe, McCluggage, Dawson, Rosie,

514
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 3: Miller and Peteling.

515
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: All right, where to start with this? I reckon Jordan

516
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: Dawson and Connor Rose. Potentially we could start there, I don't.

517
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: I think I'd probably have Jordan Dawson in my ranks

518
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: quite a bit higher. Came off the one P thirteen

519
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: average the year before, dropped off last year, had a

520
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: bit of a stinker for his standards. I think the

521
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: Crows skipper talk us through the twenty seven rank for

522
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Dawson.

523
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: Is that just because he traded me to him, traded

524
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: him to me in a in a keeper league? Is that?

525
00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: Is that what this is?

526
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: I mean that that might be part of it. I

527
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: did predict the drop off last year slightly again, Jordan Dawson,

528
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: It's that whole Crows midfield setup. Is Jordan Dawson more

529
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: outside than he is inside? Are they using him as

530
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 3: a link up player? Is he the guy winning the ball.

531
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: There's just enough question marks for me that I was

532
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: I dropped him down again. If you had him as

533
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: your third midfielder in your team, you're going to be

534
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: really happy if you'd probably be happy if you had

535
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: to miss your second midfinidon team. But there was enough

536
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: question marks raised last year with that one oh two

537
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 3: average that I just wasn't totally sure, Like in twenty

538
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 3: twenty two, the one to ten average, twenty twenty three,

539
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: the one sixteen, were.

540
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: They the outliers or were the one oh one.

541
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty one and one o two and twenty

542
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 3: twenty four the outliers? I'm not sure I have the

543
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 3: answers to that in the Crows midfield and as a result,

544
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: he just drops a little bit lower.

545
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: Guessing that Connor ROSEI borderline disrespect is due to the

546
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: injury risk as well, given you do factor that in

547
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: quite heavily.

548
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's part of it.

549
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 3: Rosie was one of my first picked, not last year,

550
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 3: but the year before and that real breakout year where

551
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 3: he played consistent midfield minutes and scored. I'm just pulling

552
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 3: up his average. He averaged eight in that year, then

553
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: last year dropped to ninety eight across twenty games. Again,

554
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 3: he's a very versatile player for the for the port

555
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: Adelaide Power. I don't know why I called him the

556
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: port Adelaide Power, but he's very versatile. So all the

557
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: guys in that midfield Olie Wines had a bounce back

558
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: year last year as well. I feel like that maybe

559
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: he's the one that gets moved around a bit, and.

560
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 4: You know, I don't want to knock him. He's slight.

561
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: He's a bit more slight quite a few midfields I

562
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: seem to be beefing up and bulking up a bit

563
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: the last year or two. So yeah, there's just enough

564
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: question marks over him for him to drop down there. Also, like,

565
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: I really like him and he's good, but I don't

566
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: want him in my M one or M two. I

567
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: could probably deal with him as an M three in

568
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: my draft.

569
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: Lake You're always trying to give me potato, trying to

570
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: give me Darty Parish. What is it with you? Why?

571
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: Why is Darcy Parish so high? What is Lake? You

572
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: get him at twenty two, which is extraordinarily high for

573
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: a guy that's also under an injury cloud in his preseason.

574
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

575
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: I just think he's really neat a Dusty Parish, He's

576
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: to me, he's very He's in that. I look at

577
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: him in a Clayton Oliver in a similar way, and

578
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: it probably helps it. I've got them both in my

579
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: classic team. Darcy Parish's ceiling games are so high. He's

580
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: averaged one eight and twenty twenty three across eighteen games.

581
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 3: The asterisk is obviously in his availability one hundred and

582
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: eleven and twenty twenty two, one hundred and fourteen and

583
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 3: twenty in twenty twenty one, so he has a scoring ceiling.

584
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: Struggled last year, never got fit.

585
00:29:59,320 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: This is it up.

586
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: I'd play for me, and I'm happy to argue that

587
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: he should be lower. But I really like him, and

588
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: I just think I do think he's got another year

589
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 3: of going one ten in him.

590
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: I just don't know when it is. I hope it's

591
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 4: this year.

592
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Working through a back issue at the moment, Darcy

593
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: Parish is not going to be playing in the practice

594
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: match next week, but they are hopeful that he's going

595
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: to be able to play.

596
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: Who else plays in the midfield for Essendon Zach Merritt, who.

597
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: Else Sammy Durham. The larger sadis.

598
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: Moving moving right along.

599
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: Okay, here's the thing right about a larger status and

600
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: guys like Ben Hobbs and stuff, is that if Parish

601
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: is available and those guys are available, the coaches are

602
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: always going to back in the senior guy to play

603
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: that important midfield roles.

604
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: It's just what coaches do.

605
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: So when I went through Essendon's sort of midfield depths, yeah,

606
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: the assumption is for this the Parish is available, he's

607
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: the one who has to score points because Zach Merrick

608
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: can't score any more points than he does.

609
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a world where Parish does go back

610
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: to being one ten. I just I just lost total

611
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: faith in Essendon as a football club in an organization,

612
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: and that's spilled over into fantasy football.

613
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: If he was a Carton player, he'd probably be fortieth.

614
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: Because I can't be objective on Carlton.

615
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll agree to be non unable to be objective.

616
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a few other players now,

617
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: and one I think he's your highest ranked player from Hawthorn,

618
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: I believe, and he comes in at twenty five Giant Nucombe.

619
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: I've gone bullish on him this year. I've got him

620
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: super high in my rankings. I've got him eleventh, so

621
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm going really hard. I've brought this stat out on

622
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: a couple of different podcasts, one hundred and fifteen super

623
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: coach average when the Hawks won last season, I just

624
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: think they'll win more game and I think he's generally

625
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: a driving force in that. In that so, I know

626
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: that will Day missed a few of his bigger games

627
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: last year when he did pop off. But yeah, just

628
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't really that's just kind of I want to

629
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: just mention that I'm pretty high on him. But I

630
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: also wanted to talk about Will Day, who's circling some

631
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: fantasy super coach discussion at the moment, and will Day's

632
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: fair bit. I don't even know he's way down in

633
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: your rankings. I had him a little bit higher, but

634
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: maybe talk about because I can see here he's forty

635
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: ninth in your rankings, which maybe catches people off guard.

636
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 4: It does so dry Nukham.

637
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be really good as well.

638
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily agree that Hawthorne A is going to

639
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: win a lot more games. I think he'll be the

640
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: highest averaging midfielder for Hawthorne this year. I just don't know.

641
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: I think he's a bit up and down right, So

642
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 3: he'll score games in the sixties, he'll score games in

643
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: the one sixties, and I'm not sure that his game

644
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: has a really consistent base within it with how he plays,

645
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: so I'm happy to have that inconsistency a bit lower.

646
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: I don't mind if you personally have have Jian yucomhah.

647
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 3: I think that's fantastic. Thank you Will Day is an

648
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: interesting one where he kind of reminds me, I'm gonna

649
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 3: whatever you can clip this. He kind of reminds me

650
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: of Bailey Smith in that we all think he's good,

651
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: and we all think he's good at super Coach, but

652
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: actually he's only had a little bit where he was

653
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 3: actually decent at super coach, Like he's had one season

654
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: where he was actually super coach relevant.

655
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty three.

656
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: I traded him in and used him as a loophole

657
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: and a game he had to buy, and then he

658
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 3: averaged one hundred and ten or whatever after that. But anyway,

659
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, he averaged ninety seven. Last year across

660
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: six ams he averaged the ninety one. I just I

661
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: think he's a very nice looking player. I just don't

662
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 3: know that he's actually that good in terms of super coach.

663
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: Very similar to Bailey Smith when he's mid only he's

664
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: actually never done anything worth a note.

665
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: Huge huge call there by Lecdog might have to clip that,

666
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: as you say, left.

667
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 3: You just clip me saying he's never done anything of note.

668
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 3: That'll get him listening.

669
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand he's had a few elite patches though,

670
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, I suppose it's probably the more promise that

671
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: he can keep delivering on that and avoid injury concerns

672
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: which have sort of hampered that consistency as well. Any

673
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: final players you want to discuss, Patch, and then I

674
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: think we'll each pick a sleeper and then we'll round

675
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: out this pod. Of course, as I've said, you can

676
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: check out the full top one hundred of Leftdog, including

677
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: positional tiers on Code Sports. Go check that out. We'll

678
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: put some links out there as well for that. But Patch,

679
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: any final thoughts on the ranks.

680
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: My final question is about the I'm going to sneak

681
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: outside the thirty we're only talking about the thirty on

682
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 2: this pod, but I do want to question that we've

683
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: got access to legs top fifty here. Tim Taranto at

684
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: thirty one intrigues me lack as a little little teaser

685
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: for the audience to give. You give him an extra pick?

686
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: Can you talk me through Toronto? Obviously? You know you've

687
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: got the kind of his body being held together with

688
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: gaffer tape and the pro of him playing for possibly

689
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: the worst team to ever play Australians football, Like how

690
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: taught me through how that's all all come together well.

691
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty three he was the sixteenth best player

692
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: in Super Coach and last year was the two hundred

693
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 3: and thirteenth best player in Super Coach.

694
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: The duality you tell me where to put him?

695
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's if he's on the park and he's playing,

696
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 3: he's going to be good because someone has to score

697
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: points at Richmond. Is there going to be any incentive

698
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: towards the end of the year if he does have

699
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: a niggle to play him again? Him in this tier

700
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 3: of guys, that's kind of like high ceiling. How many

701
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 3: games are they going to play? It's your Matt Crouch's

702
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 3: your Tim Taranto's and I've got James Peetling and Tuck

703
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: Miller at the top of that tier ten, just above

704
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: Tim Taranto. And while they might score less per game

705
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 3: than him, I believe that they will play significantly more

706
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 3: football than him in twenty twenty five.

707
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: Do you want to do your Petling spiel? I know

708
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: you love James Peteling. Do you want to go on?

709
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: Just give I'm keen to hear it.

710
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: Get the soapbox out, Give us a minute of James

711
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: Petling love.

712
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 4: Look, everyone who.

713
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: Is a draft player has been watching Peteling flounder in

714
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: the doldrons of GWS, playing a sub, coming on for

715
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: minutes at a time, getting subbed off. But at the

716
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 3: games when he did get unleashed, and in the VFL

717
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 3: or the equivalent, I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's

718
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: been the VFL the whole time he's been at GWS.

719
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: He just dominated as just a midfield beast. He's been

720
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 3: sent to Adelaide. He's going to be unlocked. He's pushed

721
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: Rory Laird out of the midfield. Laird one of the

722
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: greatest midfield as Adelaide's ever seen. From a super coach perspective,

723
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 3: has been pushed out for this guy. Look, I think

724
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: his floor is like a ninety five and he plays

725
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 3: twenty three games, but I actually think I think he can.

726
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 4: Crack triple digits.

727
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: And I'll let the mathematicians tell you how he did

728
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: when he wasn't subbed, but I can tell you as

729
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 3: an owner in several super coach draft leagues last year,

730
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: he was really bloody good.

731
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: WELLI that was a good take. Love that from James Petling.

732
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to having him in, having a lot

733
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: of stock in him around the place, so it'd be

734
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: interesting to see where he does land in draft. Another

735
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: player that's got a lot of buzz in classic circles.

736
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: So will that mean that he goes higher in draft

737
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: than you'd be willing to take him. It'll be interesting

738
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: to see where that lands on draft day. Let's go

739
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: through each pick. We're going to pick a sleeper, so

740
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: a player that we think we can pick quite late

741
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: in drafts that's really not being discussed too much at

742
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: the moment, and a player that we think will be

743
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: great value your sleeper first lek dog if you will.

744
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was struggling to split them. I'm going to

745
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: do a sneaky and give you two, but I'll give

746
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: you my really. So these are two Carton players. I

747
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 3: have him in my top fifty. Midfield. One's Adam Cherer,

748
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 3: who I think is going to have his best season

749
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: for Carlton, but I do think there's going to be

750
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 3: hype about him with Sam Walsh's injury and stuff, so

751
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 3: I actually think he'll go earlier. But Blake Acres, for me,

752
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: is a guy that I think is going to be

753
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 3: really underrepresented in draft and I think he's going to

754
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: provide bad value. So he's not just a winger at Carlton.

755
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: He also spent a hell of a lot of time

756
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: behind the ball, being sort of a defensive relief and

757
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: delivering the ball sort of further up the ground. With

758
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 3: Nick Newman going down, his question marks over who's going

759
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: to be that sort of supportive can't and play in

760
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: midfielder that goes back and supports.

761
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 4: I think it just.

762
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 3: Enhances his opportunity to do that, takes an intercept, marks

763
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 3: distribute from the back line, and last year you wouldn't

764
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 3: know it, but he averaged ninety three points a game

765
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 3: last year eighty eight the year before. I think he's

766
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: just going to be a really solid back end sort

767
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: of guy that gives you value in your midfield.

768
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: That is a big old sleeper. Blake Cakes loved Thatchy.

769
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: Who have you got for us?

770
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: I'm struggling. I'm also struggling to split because I like

771
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 2: talking about lots of different players, and sleepers are where

772
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 2: it's really fun to talk about. These players you can

773
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 2: talk about, you know, your Tom Greens and he Isaac Handy.

774
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: Still the cows come home. But geez, I love sinking

775
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 2: my teeth into guys that are just completely irrelevant to

776
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the people that play fantasy football. And

777
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: it's three guys. We've spoken a bit about Ruy Laird

778
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: where they can go back and they you know, might

779
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: pick up defense eligibility. So I've got three of them.

780
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: I'm kind of keen on being Jase Bergoy and Ollie

781
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: Hollins And I hate that I'm saying this, But Dylan

782
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: Shiel come on down.

783
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: Oh and you flamed me for Darcy Parrish.

784
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not paying. I'm not taking Dylan Shield at

785
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 2: twenty two. I'm taking him at two hundred and twenty

786
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: two in the draft. Yeah, all of these guys are

787
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: kind of playing in the back line. Jays Bergoing, I

788
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: think is a really really good player, and you know

789
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 2: they should look at dragging him back and using him

790
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 2: a fair bit out of the back line. Dylan Shield,

791
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 2: for some ungodly reason, has been given the keys to

792
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 2: the half back line and I hate it. But it'll

793
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 2: score points. It'll in the same way that Nick Martin

794
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 2: frustrated me last year but still scored points still, and

795
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 2: Shield will do it. And Ollie Hollins, well, I don't know, maybe.

796
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 3: Maybe he's just need he's currently as of right now,

797
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 3: if your start of the season, he's currently Nick Newman's replacement.

798
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I suspect that might shift one time the

799
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 3: season stars, but right now and Jays Bergan is a

800
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 3: great shout. I actually thought he was going to be

801
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: I was looking for him in the rankings when I

802
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 3: was making this, I was actually looking him for him

803
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 3: in the defense. Didn't realize he was going to be

804
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 3: mid only he was a favorite of the Waiver Wire

805
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: article last year. I expect a big year from young Jays.

806
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 3: I think that's a great chout.

807
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting, you're gonna, yeah, you're willing to sort of,

808
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: I guess it's not draft capital. We're talking about sleepers,

809
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: but guys that don't actually have the status that you

810
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: probably want to play them in though that you're.

811
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: Willing to as bench of pickers they get.

812
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I loved by the way. I do

813
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: love jays Berger and I think even if he plays

814
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: just midfield as a wing, he could put up some

815
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: big numbers as a wingman. He's just class. I've got

816
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: a player that is midfield only but was actually a

817
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: forward eligible player last year. Certainly under the radar from

818
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: what I've seen, but there's been a bit of buzz

819
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: coming from the club socials. If anything, Tom Powell at

820
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: North Melbourne, George Wardlow has gone down with that Hammy.

821
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: I personally don't think Luke Parker is going to have

822
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: as big as say in the midfield as people maybe

823
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: are thinking at all. You know, what's what's the purpose

824
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: of putting a thirty three year old player into the

825
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: midfield when you're rebuilding and you're trying to develop the

826
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: core young group. Tom Power coming in last year when

827
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: he had fifty percent plus cbas he averaged ninety three,

828
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: I think he's own His average last year was a

829
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: flat eighty. I think maybe we just see a bit

830
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: more midfield exposure this year and him taking the next step.

831
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: We saw him have some massive games last year when

832
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: he was given the opportunity. So like again, we're talking

833
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: about a guy that I think you'll be able to

834
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: get pretty late in drafts and a guy that could

835
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: start the season, especially being part of the core midfield

836
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: unit at North Melbourne. So that is my sleep at

837
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: tom Power.

838
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 3: I think I think you'd hope if you're running North

839
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 3: Melbourne that Luke Parker is playing twenty eighty percent forward

840
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 3: and Tom Powell's playing the inverse of that. I would

841
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 3: hope as a North Melbourne fan that they those are

842
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: the two that are sort of flipping with each other.

843
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: But then again, coaches like to play their veterans in

844
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 3: the positions of value. But yes, I think that's a

845
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 3: decent shot.

846
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right. But as someone that's invested

847
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: significant draft capital in keeper leagues and in redraft leagues

848
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: into Tom Powell and being burnt flat fifty is how

849
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 2: I describe me checking his score most weeks whenever I

850
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: had him as opposed to his midfield split, it's I

851
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: want him to be good. I love him. He's got

852
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: great Union numbers. He'll be a good midfielder if they

853
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 2: let him loose. But it just have been burnt so

854
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 2: many times before by Tom Powell.

855
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a midfield that has a lot of depth now,

856
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: which I'll concede as well. He could he could simply

857
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: just not you know, be in the midfield and be

858
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: playing bit part roles around the ground, which would certainly

859
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 1: not make me interested. But he's a preseason watch He

860
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,959
Speaker 1: might rise, he might fall on my on my watch list.

861
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: But if I'm taking him with a very late pick

862
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: in the draft, I'd be happy snaffling him up and

863
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: hoping and seeing if he does pop, especially early in

864
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: the season when you know there isn't going to be

865
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: that George Wardlaw in the lineup. All right, Well, that

866
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: was the top thirty midfield ranks. Thank you very much

867
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: Lekdog for sharing those with us. You can see the

868
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: full list on Code Sports. As we have said a

869
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: few times, so go check that out. I will put

870
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: it in the show notes as well linked to that.

871
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, just go check it out on Code Sports

872
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: and we will see you for the next rankings. We're

873
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: going to be talking rucks, so probably a little bit

874
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: of a shorter episode for the rucks you'd imagine, but

875
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: thanks for listening to Drafted. We will see that
