1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Get everyone Darci here off the top of the show, 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: just to let you know that we did record this 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: before the Sean Darcy news on Thursday, February six, if 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: you haven't heard that already, Sean Darcy unfortunately having ankle surgery, 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: a minor surgery by all reports, but a surgery. Nonetheless, 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Freeman was hoping he's going to be available for the 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: early rounds of the season, but he's insignificant doubtful round one. 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: Just factor that into the discussion. It's quite ironic looking back, 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: so I didn't want to take it out loving Shawne 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: Darcy in the way he's been looking this preseason. But 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: unfortunately that is a setback that's going to affect some 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: of our rankings in particular mind, but it shouldn't affect 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: Lefdogs too much, who we are going to be talking 14 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: about on the show today, as he did factor in 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: the Big Fellow's injury concerns within his ranking. So anyway, kickback, relax. 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy the show, if you have been 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: enjoying the extra draft content, if you're a super coach 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: drafter and you're obviously are, if you're listening to this show, 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 1: please rate and review on Apple's wherever you're listening, give 20 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: us a like on YouTube. The support really does help 21 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: because we are trying to build this podcast up. You've 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: been noticing lots more shows this preseason, so I really 23 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: appreciate the support. If you could do that, that would 24 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: be greatly appreciated. But sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Gooday, 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: and welcome back to Drafted, the official super Coach Draft 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: show right here on the official podcast. Bet it's your 27 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: boy Dossie alongside my fellow super Coach Draft enthusiasts. We've 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: got Patch and Lefdog back for another episode and we're 29 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: going to be talking all things ruck rankings on this show, 30 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: going through Leftdog's top eighteen ranks. We're going pretty deep 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: in the ruck department, Leftdog, but there are some leagues 32 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: out there that like to go deep or dare I 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: say go the two rucks like. 34 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: I mean, do it at your own peril. 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: That at the flex position will severely impact how early 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: or late ruckman get taken in your draft because there 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: are just not that many to go around. 38 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Yes, we have been going through our ranks. We started 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: with the midfielders. If you missed that podcast that was 40 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: a longer one. I expect this one to be a 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: little bit shorter than that one. But joining us again, 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: we have Patch. Welcome aboard Patch. 43 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 4: Hello, delighted to be here to chat about my favorite position, 44 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 4: the rucks. 45 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: Well, without any further ado, let's get started. We're going 46 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: to go through picks one to five, to start with 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: five to ten and so on. Let's go. Let dogs 48 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: start with your top five rucks for season twenty twenty 49 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: five in Super Coach. 50 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, my. 51 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: Top five rucks this season. It'll already surprise people. Number 52 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: one is Max Gorn in Tier one on his own. 53 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: Number two is Tristan Cherry in Tier two on his own. 54 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: And then rounding out the top five in tier three 55 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: is Tim English, Brodi Grundy, and Tom Conning. 56 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: All right, keen to talk about this. I'm at the 57 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: top tier, even though we might you know, as it 58 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: gets deeper, it's not as exciting a discussion with the rucks. 59 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: But at the top end, these guys are the uber 60 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: Uber premiums. Right at the top end of your draft. 61 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: You might be picking Maxicorn pretty early, even Tristan Cherry. 62 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about that top two debate. 63 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: Gorn versus Cherry, because Cherry finished the season on fire 64 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: last year, was there any consideration? I mean, I see 65 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: here as you said your tears, You've got Gorn on 66 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: his own. There is an argument that Cherry should be 67 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: on the same tier level I reckon this year, lector. 68 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: There is an argument. There is an argument. So I'll 69 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: start with Maxicorn. He's consistent. Every single week, he'll give 70 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: you a five marks, A couple of them will be 71 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: behind the ball, he'll contest the ruck, he'll have a 72 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: couple of tackles, and you know he'll have eighteen to 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: twenty disposals. Maxicorn is just consistent. Maxicorn. Your only potential 74 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: question mark over him is games played, because he's always 75 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: going to miss one two games. But I think he'll 76 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: be the highest averaging ruckman this year, and I've got 77 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: Cherry slightly lower. So yes, he played more games than 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: Maxicran last year. Yes, he did score more total points 79 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 3: than Max Gooran last year, and yes I did have 80 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: him at a one last year all year, so I 81 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: understand he's good. However, my biggest question mark over him 82 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 3: is the ability to recreate what he did last year, 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: because he had a massive jump and the main one 84 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: that people are talking about is the tackle numbers. He 85 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: jumped from a career average of about three tackles a 86 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: game to seven point five tackles per game last year. 87 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: Was that an outlier or was that the new norm 88 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: for Christian Cherry? A slight step back and that tackle 89 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: number alone will impact his output this year, and I 90 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: suspect it's going to be pretty hard to maintain that 91 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: massive number. All the other stuff, the mark, the disposals, 92 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 3: the rough contest, I think that's all consistent for Cherry, 93 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: But those tackle numbers, there's a few points in those. 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: It's big. I'm keen to hear your thoughts Patch as well, 95 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: the Gorn versus Cherry debate right at the top of 96 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: the draft. I mean, you'd be happy with either of 97 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: these guys, but where do you see that landing. 98 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 4: I've got Cherry at one and Gorne at two, and 99 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 4: I've got them in the same tier. So I think 100 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 4: you know Cherry is still he's still a baby by 101 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 4: ruck standard, He's still what twenty five twenty six coming 102 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 4: into this season. I think as much as you know 103 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: that there's every chance that the tackle numbers could be 104 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 4: an outlier and he could see a drop off in tackles. 105 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: I think there's still that natural improvement to come from Cherry, 106 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: and even if that's a five percent improvement across every 107 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: every stack category, that's still going to be enough to 108 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: offset I think no any any major drop in average 109 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 4: or total output of points. Maybe he drops you know, 110 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 4: one or two average you know, over the season, or 111 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 4: he drops you know, fifteen hundred points compared to last year. 112 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: But I still certainly see as much room for upside 113 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 4: as I see as room for downside in Cherry's growth, 114 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 4: and I'd be happy with either of them. If I'm 115 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: splitting hairs, I'm probably going Cherry just because of the 116 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: games played. I don't want one of those games that's 117 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: missed to be a final or be a must win 118 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 4: game to get me into the top eight, or you know, 119 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 4: a game that's going to avoid me getting a punishment 120 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: at the end of the year. I think I'd just 121 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 4: rather the consistency with you know. And I know Cherry's 122 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 4: had some injury problems way back, but I think Gorn 123 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 4: is getting on a little bit. He worries me a little, 124 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: just that tiny bit that father time might start catching 125 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 4: up with him. I think if not this year, then 126 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 4: certainly by next year we'll be having a pretty big 127 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 4: discussion about father time in MAXICRN. But I think I'm 128 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 4: struggling to split them. 129 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: You can clip just DOSSI Max corn is the Lebron 130 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: James of AFL, and what I mean by that is 131 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 3: I don't think Age is going to touch him. I 132 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: think he's smart in how he uses his body. He 133 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 3: rests on field and a lot of his points come 134 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: from the stuff he does behind the ball, taking interscept marks. 135 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: I'm not worried about Max Gorn in the slightest, but 136 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: I can understand that one or two these are the 137 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: two best rockman I think in. 138 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: The comp Yeah, I currently have Chariot number one, but 139 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: I also have them in the same tier. But it'd 140 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: be interesting, Yeah, like that, Teering them separately, I think 141 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: is a distinguished point there for your draft. There, Lefdog 142 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: that you're happy going Gorne, you know, much higher than Cherry. 143 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 4: Seemingly, while we're on these two, where do you take 144 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: them overall? Do you do you go in the top three, 145 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: Do you go bond Decos Gorne for you or do 146 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: you look at a Ruckman in the top five what's 147 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 4: your strategy for rucks? Do you like punting them? Do 148 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 4: you do you like grabbing one early and not worrying 149 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 4: about it? Do you just middle around and pick up 150 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: a like a Lloyd Meek or whatever in the middle, Like, 151 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 4: how do you go about picking a ruck. 152 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 3: For me Gorne or Cherry? I'm taking with my first pick, 153 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: unless i have pick one or two, in which case 154 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: I'm taking BoNT and Decos in almost every circumstance. If 155 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: you don't get a Gorne or Sherry with your first pick, 156 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: then I think you can probably wait to your second, third, 157 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: fourth pick onwards to get at ruckman. But I think 158 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: these two guys do separate themselves from the rest of 159 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: the pack when we look back at season twenty twenty five. 160 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: So yeah, jump early on one of these two guys. 161 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: If they're your first player, I think you're going to 162 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: be happy. The other guys you can probably let slip 163 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: a little bit further. 164 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: Let's talk about a couple other players in the top five. 165 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: Tim English, You've got a three bit of a down 166 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: year for his standards, but you've got him bouncing back. 167 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. 168 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 3: I think he's still really solid. Yes, last year was 169 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: a bit of a downslide, but. 170 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: He's still got that dog's midfield to hit it too. 171 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 3: Even with trelaw Out, who we spoke about in the 172 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: last podcast. There's guys like Matt Kennedy and stuff that 173 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: have come in can potentially fill roles. So I think 174 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 3: he's still got the opportunity there. Another year under his belt, 175 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 3: I think I think he'll be solid. I'm not sure 176 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 3: he's going to necessarily get back to that one hundred 177 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 3: and twenty eight average he had in twenty twenty three, 178 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: but somewhere around the one ten range would. 179 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: Not shock me. 180 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 4: Right, Tom da Cooney, you're a blues man. We've had 181 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 4: lots of discussions about Tom d Cooney over the past 182 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: few years as someone that's owned him in a keeper league. 183 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts this year? There'll be some people 184 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 4: not naming names, are very very high on him this year. 185 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 4: What point would you be taking him? What do you 186 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 4: see his output being? Do you see Carton playing him 187 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: as a sole ruck? What's talk to me about the 188 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 4: wonderful hair that is attached to Tom de Cooney? 189 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: Why do I have him three currently in my ranks like. 190 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: We have him three because when he's a solo ruck. 191 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 3: He's really, really, really good for Carlton. Now, past me 192 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: might have said that he's not a ruckman and that 193 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 3: he'll end up playing behind the ball as an intercept 194 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 3: defender in his career, and I still think age thirty five, 195 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: Tom de Conig might do that. It's upside the biggest 196 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: query I have because I've got him fifth, so I 197 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: think he can score the points. I think he has 198 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: the role. The de lingering question I have in the 199 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: back of my head is just Fossy consistently says he 200 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: wants the two rucks setup. I don't necessarily know if 201 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: they've been rolling with that this preseason. Tom Deconning announced 202 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: himself last year as the number one a sort of 203 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: ruckman at Carton. I do think on a holistic view, 204 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 3: he's actually better off as as sharing the rock duty 205 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: with someone else and being that energizer rather than the 206 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 3: slog ruckman throughout the whole game. If Pitto plays then 207 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: and you take him with your fifth pick, then you've 208 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: ruined your draft. If Pindo doesn't play and you take 209 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 3: him with your fifth pick, then jeez, you might have 210 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 3: won your draft. 211 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: It's just so tough. I don't know what Voss he's 212 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 2: going to do. 213 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: Yes, well, panicking super Coaches is the Carlton social media 214 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: team putting out there today. Pitto is heading into the 215 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season fit and firing with a muscle 216 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: emoji and putting out a video and interview with pitten 217 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: out about how he's came to impact this year. 218 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: So don't pick Tom. 219 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: I might have to bump him down a bit, just 220 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: do that risk. But no, Yeah, I think that the 221 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: ceiling is tantalizing. Yeah, whether we get it for a 222 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: full season and whether it is solo is the question mark. 223 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: So fair enough for putting in five. It's probably going 224 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: to be an up and down season. But you still 225 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: be happy taking him. You've got Grundy at four, happy 226 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: with that, just replicating what he did last year. Now 227 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: let's move through. 228 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: So sorry, I just very quickly. I know we've got 229 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: to rush. But Brodie Grundy was in classic last year, 230 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 3: was maligned and traded out and traded in and traded out, 231 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: ended up being the fourth. 232 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: Yeah ranked ruckman. He's just really really good. That's why 233 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: he's fourth. 234 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 3: Alright, So after Tom deconning, who I think is an 235 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: upside play, you've got the following guys. So you've got 236 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: Toby Nan Curvis sitting at six in Tier four. Also 237 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 3: in Tier four is Roand Marshall and Lloyd Meek. Now 238 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: rowand Marshall on a per game basis is probably the 239 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 3: best of this bunch. 240 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: This one. 241 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 3: This ranking was done after he had that preseason injury concern, 242 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 3: so he's been bumped down Nank. He is going to 243 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: miss three weeks every year, but he's going to score 244 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 3: really well in the games he does play. And then 245 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: Lloyd Meek just had a sneaky good season last year 246 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: for Hawthorne. And in the same way back when we 247 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: talked about midfield, as Dosh you talked about the upside 248 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: in that Hawk's midfield, I think Lloyd Meek really has 249 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 3: an opportunity here. Average one hundred and five last year 250 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: across nineteen games, he plays twenty three games, he becomes 251 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: like the fifth best ruckman. 252 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a huge call. I think the role Marshal. 253 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: Did you see the news coming out today that you 254 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: know Ross Lyne, I think it was reported on AFL 255 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,119 Speaker 1: dot com said that he was definitely he will definitely 256 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: play Round one. So some of the injury concerns that 257 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: you might be speaking about. Does with that change just 258 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: quickly on Role Marshall, With that change your adjust your 259 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: rankings from him down at seventh. 260 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: It might bump him up a couple of spots. 261 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: So Roma, every year he's gone, he's played twenty three 262 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: games the last two years for an average of one 263 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 3: hundred and thirteen across those two years. That's elite numbers. 264 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: So if Ross is not lying to me, Roma jumps 265 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: up above Tom to Conne. He becomes a safer pick. 266 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: I still probably take Brodie Grundy and Tim English ahead 267 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: of him, but again, he becomes a tier three player 268 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: if he's fit. It does concern me that they signed 269 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: a mature age ruckman and they've got seemingly a lot 270 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: of rock depth, like just old dudes who really want 271 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 3: to play. I don't know, I've got some question marks 272 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: over what Ross says as well. 273 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Pat, you've got any thoughts on the six through ten. 274 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 4: Look, I think Roald Marshall's quite good. We haven't you know, 275 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 4: Lecky didn't talk about nine and ten there, but we've 276 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 4: got Jared Witz and Sean Darcy there in the fifth year. 277 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 4: I think Seawan Darcy's you know, obviously there's the injury cloud, 278 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 4: which makes it a bit hard. I do really like 279 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: Seawan Darcy, especially if you can pick up Luke Jackson 280 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 4: with him. I want you to talk for a second 281 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 4: about that. You know, handcuffing as a concept is around 282 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 4: for a draft as where you take the you know, 283 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 4: the number one ruckman if it's Roald Marshall and you 284 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 4: take Harry Boyd very late, or if you can take 285 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: you know, Seawan Darcy and Luke Jackson. I'm intrigued as 286 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: to what your thoughts are around Shrek. You know, I 287 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 4: had a difficult last year with injury. Would you consider, like, 288 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 4: if he's if he's fit and firing and dominates pre season, 289 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: does that move him up? Do you need to take 290 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 4: Jackson if you're taking Darcy as well? What are your 291 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 4: thoughts there? 292 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Sean Darcy's had one season in his career where 293 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 3: he played more than twenty games, and in all those 294 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: other season he averages about fifteen. So I just can't 295 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: believe that he's fit and firing. I know he's been 296 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: over to Qatar, maybe somewhere he's back. 297 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: And just before you continue answering, I would just love 298 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: you to go to Instagram, find Sewan Darcy's Instagram and 299 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: look at his latest post. Because me, after seeing that, 300 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: I've adjusted him right up. He's not gone below top 301 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: five for me now after seeing the big tank Sean Darcy, 302 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: the man is shredded. The man is an absolute unit. 303 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: This preseason, he was training straight back in the main 304 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: group upon returning from Qatar. So look, we know what 305 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: elliot yo happened after he went to Qatar last year, 306 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: not excluding this pre excluding this preseason for Paul Elliot Yoe. 307 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: But I bounce back, rejuvenated season. Gosh, I think Big 308 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Shrek could be in for a big year this year. 309 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: I'm not shaming him, but it looks like he's lost 310 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: forty kilos. 311 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: He looks like a different person. 312 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I guess worthy injuries caused by the weight 313 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: that he was carrying or they caused by something else. 314 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 3: That's the question you've got to ask. In terms of 315 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: handcuffing Patch, I think you're going to struggle to get 316 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: both Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson just because of how 317 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 3: thin the forward line is. And Luke Jackson won't feature 318 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: in these rankings because we're considering him a forward, but 319 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: The concept of handcuffing is really important, and it's the 320 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 3: reason I've had Riley O'Brien and Kieren strawn in my 321 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: keeper league for the last six years, and I'm just 322 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 3: waiting for Strawan to break through and get into that 323 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: main Adelaide Crow's team. But basically, as you said, the 324 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: concept is if one misses, you've got the guy that's 325 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 3: going to replace him already on your team. 326 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 4: I am. I've got a differing rank with you as well. 327 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 4: On Jared Witz. I'm off Jared Witz this season. I 328 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: reckon he's going to start making way for Ned Moyle 329 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: and Ethan Reid as well to mostly forward and chop out. 330 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 4: I reckon he'll kind of break down at some point. 331 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: He's done that the last couple of years, and I 332 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 4: just think Moyle will just hold his spot. Which that's 333 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 4: I'm not picking Ned Moyle. I'm not drafting Ned Moyle, 334 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 4: but I'm right off Jared this year. I reckon this 335 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 4: is possibly the last hurrah we see for the big Man's. 336 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: Yeah that's tea. 337 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, it could go either way, couldn't it. Because if 338 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: he's a joint and if he's performing, he's locked into 339 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: the best twenty two and he's not moving. But yeah, 340 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: if they decide to, I mean, Moyle is a rising ruckman, 341 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: they want to keep him, keep him there as well 342 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: long term. So that's a really tough dilemma for the Suns. 343 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: But I think I'm probably along with lek In, I 344 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: think I have him. I still have wits tenth in 345 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: my ranks, just because, yeah, if he is fit, and 346 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: I know it's a big you know, it's an if 347 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: nowadays rather than a guarantee, but he still just does 348 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: all the things that you want out of a super 349 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: coach ruckman, and you know, the hit outs to advantage 350 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: in particular. 351 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 4: But yeah, I've got no evidence. It's a gut feeling 352 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 4: that I'm like, I just don't I'm worried. I don't 353 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 4: want to pick him if he's still there with my 354 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 4: you know, if he's no one, you know, he's the 355 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 4: fifteenth ruck there and he's still there, I'm picking him, 356 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 4: but I'm not. Yeah, I don't know, I'm just not 357 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 4: feeling it. 358 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't think a dimmer led team that's 359 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: bored in guys like John Noble Daniuriali to impact straight away. 360 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 3: They're desperate to play finals. They have they have to 361 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 3: play finals. I know everyone's going to say that they 362 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: have to play finals. I just don't think a team 363 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 3: that's been as aggressive in the off season as they were, 364 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 3: he's going to potentially hinder their their ceiling by playing 365 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: developing ruckman over a guy like Jade Witz. I just 366 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 3: think if he's on your list and it's for a 367 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 3: range of things, it's for it's for not only his skill, 368 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 3: but it's for his leadership and given how dimm has 369 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 3: behaved in the past with his ruckman, you know, giving 370 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 3: Nank the captaincy, I think he was still there when 371 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 3: Nank was captain. I would just suspect that is locked 372 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 3: into play as many games as is available for Yep. 373 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, let us know where you've adjusted. Sean Darcy two 374 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: in the comments as well after looking at his Instagram posts. 375 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: So he's top five for all of us. 376 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 4: I've heard hit us up with that eleven to may 377 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 4: as well go eleven to eight een. Just hit us 378 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 4: with the rest of them. 379 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 2: Yep. 380 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 3: Tier six at eleven, we've got Darcy Cameron, followed by 381 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 3: Kieran Briggs. Tier seven and number thirteen and fourteen is 382 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 3: Riley O'Brien and Oscar macanony. There you're you know what 383 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 3: they're going to give you tier and then Tier eight 384 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 3: through nine is Jordan Sweet, Sam Draper, Maddy Flynn, and 385 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 3: Toby Conway. That's your top eighteen. And I think that's 386 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: one ruckman from every team as well, ideally the main 387 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 3: ruckman for each team. 388 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a solid list. I think Kieran Briggs could 389 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: be I haven't heard too much out of his camp. 390 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: I thought I saw somewhere he was injured at one 391 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: point in the preseason. I don't like I need to 392 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: look more into that. I'd be keen on a Kieran 393 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: Briggs b out's back season, and he'd be probably one 394 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: that I'd be very interested in drafting a bit later 395 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: because he's probably off a lot of people's radars. Had 396 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: a stinker of a start last season, kind of came 397 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: home a bit stronger. But Briggsy could be one that 398 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: I'd be interested taking in those sort of mid to 399 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: later rounds if I wanted to kind of not completely 400 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: punt rucks but get a guy a bit later on. 401 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 4: Agreed, Sorry, I absolutely agreed, And. 402 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: A player I have a little bit higher just looking 403 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: here I have Darcy Cameron quite a bit higher in 404 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: my ranks this year, just because I think he's pretty 405 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: much going to have to be the guy that's in 406 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: there all the time. Now. I don't think they're going 407 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: to really roll with the Mason cock split as much. 408 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: I think we saw him sort of perform really well 409 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: towards the end of the year when he had that 410 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: solo ruck, and I think it's just his time to 411 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: kind of take the reins a bit more. That's just 412 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: also a bit of a gut feel their patch. We 413 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: do like gut feelds. And then the other one, Jordan Sweet, 414 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: I've got at eleven, You've got him down fifteen, and 415 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: it's I heard him on a podcast good friend of mine, 416 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: the Keeper League Pod. Jordan Sweet mentioned that he is 417 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: interested this year in playing a bit more around the 418 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: ground and he said he's basically got the license to 419 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: go and get disposals more, get the footy more, which 420 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: he didn't have in his kind of first season at 421 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: the Helm last year. So yeah, Jordan Sweet's one that 422 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: I'd be kind of interested in as well, picking up 423 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: a little bit later in the draft patch. Your thoughts 424 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: on these. 425 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Jordan Sweet. I'm very intrigued in I 426 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 4: think he's a number one role, but like just the 427 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 4: specter of Ivan Soldo looming, what do they do with him? 428 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 4: Do they play him as a backup right to the Sweet, 429 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 4: spend a bit all time forward. I'm intrigued. I don't 430 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 4: dislike him, but yeah, I'd be wanting to take him 431 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 4: really late in a draft on that front, Darcy Cameron, 432 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 4: I agree with you. I've got him at six, I've 433 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 4: got him ahead of Nank, I've got him behind Marshall. 434 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 4: But I think you know, we know what we're going 435 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 4: to get last year will basically be the same this year. He's, 436 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 4: barring injury, we should play every game, and I just 437 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 4: I just think he's kind of reliable and neat and 438 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 4: I'm happy to pick him up with my you know, 439 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 4: if he's there at my eighth pick, then I'll do 440 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 4: a little bit of a swerve and then stop worrying 441 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 4: about the Rucks. 442 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: Quick bombers thoughts on Sam Draper as well patch as 443 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: a bombers man. 444 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: I want Nick Brian to be the number one ruck. 445 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: Me too. 446 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 4: I think Draper is a better forward. Is he a 447 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 4: good forward? I don't know, but he's a better forward 448 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 4: than Brian is. So I think what Brad Scott will do, 449 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 4: as a lover of playing two rucks, will start Draper 450 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 4: forward and start Brian in the ruck and then sub 451 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 4: Brian out at three quarter time. So I'm not touching 452 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 4: Essendon's rucks and if you are, then you're insane. 453 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 3: No, They're the probably the hardest rock lineup to read 454 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 3: because and as someone who has handcuffed them in one 455 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: of our super coach keeper League's patch, I just need 456 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: one of them to be good, not both of them 457 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: to be bad, which is what I've experienced today. 458 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 4: That don't be changing. 459 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 3: I've just got them in there at sixteenth Sam Draper 460 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: because I think as a starting spot he's probably slightly 461 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 3: ahead Brian. You're going to be able to get Brian 462 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 3: later in drafts, but I've got him just ahead of 463 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 3: Matt Flynn for reasons, and ahead of Toby Conway because 464 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 3: Toby Conway might not even play for Geelong. He should, 465 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 3: but it might still be Rectadly. I don't even know 466 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: if he's on an AFL list anymore. 467 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 2: He might still play. 468 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: It could be Blitzerves, it could be samda Conning, it 469 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 4: could be they could bring Mitch Edwin's in, Brad Close 470 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 4: could play in the rock for them. They're just as 471 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 4: bad as Bevo and they should got more flak for it. 472 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 3: The Jordan's sweet point you made Dossi is interesting. If 473 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 3: he does have that license, I probably actually push him 474 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 3: ahead of Riley O'Brian and Oscar mcinernie in that you're 475 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 3: not what you're going to get to here, because his 476 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 3: issue is that he's basically the Pido of Port Adelaide 477 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: in that he's locked to you are in the center 478 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 3: square and anything else is not allowed. If he's got 479 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: a bit more flexibility than yeah, he probably does jump 480 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 3: in value above those slightly older battlers in O'Brien and mcinennie. 481 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, a growing interest after that quote. So that was 482 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: on the keep leg. It was an interview. It was 483 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 1: only like a ten minute interview, so if you can 484 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: to listen, go check out that pod. The other thing 485 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: that I would say, let's just quickly touch on Matt 486 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: Flynn because he's talked about massively in Classic Circus. You've 487 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: got him at seventeenth, So essentially you're saying, if you 488 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: are deciding to punt rucks and pick up a ruck 489 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: super late, you reckon Matt Flynn may be available there, 490 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: and maybe the classic sort of impact could hurt how 491 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: high he does go. But I think you'd be pretty 492 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: safe getting him late. What do you think he can 493 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: produce for us this year? You've got him seventeen. 494 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 3: If you're picking Matt Flynn, you're probably also taking like 495 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 3: a I don't know, a Bailey Williams and sitting him 496 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 3: on the bench someone like that. I'm not really sure 497 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 3: the reason I've got him there. I think he does 498 00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 3: get first crack at the main rock roll for West Coast, 499 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: but we know what. 500 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 2: The risks are. We know the risks are. 501 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 3: He's played four games, nine games, twelve games, and twelve 502 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 3: games in the past. He's had flashes of moments where 503 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 3: he's scored well, He's never averaged above eighty eighty eight 504 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 3: in his career in a season. But if you're getting him, 505 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: if you're punting Rucks and he's available there late in 506 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 3: a draft, you take him at he's going to average 507 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: eighty plus points, which. 508 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: Is decent between the games. 509 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and sleepers. We're going through sleepers again. 510 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: Let's avoid sleepers on this one. Yeah. I think there's there's. 511 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be probably happy taking anyone in that 512 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: sort of top ten range. I think drafting a ruck's 513 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: always just confusing to me. I don't know where the 514 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: best spot to draft him is. I think I'll be happy, 515 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: as you said, Cherry or gone early. If not, I'm 516 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: almost happy sort of punting the ruck usually, and I'll 517 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: just find that sweet spot in the middle of a 518 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: draft where to pick up my guy, and I'll be 519 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: picking Saw darst week, Sean Darcy first round, Seawan Darcy 520 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: first round, or that's sweet Jordan sweet spot later on. Yeah.
