We've still plenty of practice 14 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 3: matches to go.

The link will be in the YouTube's 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: comments section below when it comes. We've got plenty of 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: work to do, though, Dan. Let's start off the top 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: with some news. We are going to rank our best 28 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: picks on every line to give the super coach community 29 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: a bit of guidance to who to lock in, who 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: to play on field, who to put on your bench, 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: because we know the rookies are the backbone of any 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: good super coach team. But let's start with some news, Dan, 33 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: Jaggers Smith, we know out for the year. Plenty of 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: other stuff going on to in the rookie landscape. 35 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, it looks pretty innocuous, didn't it. On 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: the weekend, Jago Smith with a bit of an injury. 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 3: The Blues downplayed it, and then yeah, it turns out 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 3: he's out of the year, which is a pretty significant blow. 39 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 3: We're all banking on him to be part of our midfields. 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: He already averaged one hundred points last year in the 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: VFL and he's three games there and it was just 42 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: a ball maggot, ball magnet and at every level he 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: played so that certainly is a blow. But as I 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: allude to this, some SSP signings that have come in, 45 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: they might to be that's it, that's all right, that's 46 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: what we want the bargain basement and in the midfield 47 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: in particular. I think, well, one of the things that 48 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: can save us as well with Jagger Smith is there's 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: a lot of options which we'll get to around that 50 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: sort of one ninety k bracket. So I think there 51 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: is an easy side place there to a few different options. 52 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: But there were a few SSP signings over the past week. 53 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: Is there any that have taken your fancy fan. 54 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: Well, it is good for super coaches maybe, Andrew Dylan 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: and the head hon shows out the AFL do play supercoaching, 56 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: not AFL fantasy. Like most of Australia, they've opened it 57 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: up for us, opened it up for the clubs and 58 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: it's seen Jay cully Land at the Demons. We thought 59 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: it was going to happen last month or a few 60 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: weeks ago. 61 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: Didn't happen obviously. 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: The former Eagle is now officially a Melbourne player and 63 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: officially in super Coach down one hundred and sixty three 64 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: k hot off the Press one hundred and sixty three 65 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: K mid forward, which does bring him right into the conversation. 66 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: We know he's had the taste of senior, actually has 67 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: had the taste of afl foot. If he can push 68 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: his way into that demonciet, he's one that I'm watching, 69 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: given he's probably more ready than some of these other 70 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: names that we've seen. Potentially, what do you think a 71 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: few ninety nine ks in As we mentioned, we love 72 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: the ninety nine ks in Super Coach this season, we've 73 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: got a few more. 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: That's right. 75 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: Seeing he Brock ninety nine K defender key defender was 76 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: for a couple of years. West Coast is probably not 77 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: so much in the frame. Will White was picked up 78 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: yesterday as part of the SSP opening reopening. As you 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: alluded to there, for Carlton averaged sixty nine points in 80 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: the VFL as a sort of a half forward type, 81 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 3: but you'd think he's probably a little bit outside that 82 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: frame the carden Ford mix as well. I do really 83 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: like Cauli. I was waiting to see his price coming 84 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: and one sixty three is quite good. He was one 85 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: ninety three K last year and didn't play a game 86 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: obviously coming off. Actually he played two games SORR three 87 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 3: forty seven twenty two and sixty one, so not amazing 88 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: scoring there, but he did average sixty two for his 89 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: four games in twenty twenty two. And he's that bigger 90 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: bodied midfielder one ninety four centimeter can play up forward 91 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: as well. I think it's worth watching him over practice 92 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: games with the one I'm really big on from the 93 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 3: He's a recent sc SSP pick. We love the Werribe 94 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 3: production line. It's done as well in the past. Obviously, 95 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 3: Sean Manor last year short handed the Norm Goss medal 96 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: to Jack Henderson last year best on ground in the 97 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: VFL Grand Final, has five averages of over ninety in 98 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 3: the state leagues under his belt, average one hundred and 99 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: nine points last year and posted one hundred and fifty 100 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: one points in that VFL Grand Final. Display is available 101 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 3: as a mid only ninety nine K. But the words 102 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 3: of Jason Taylor, Melbourne recruiting manager I think was music 103 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 3: to super coaches year, is saying the thinks he can 104 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: play that Alex Neilbollen role already. Obviously neil Bollen spent 105 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: some time in the midfield as well. 106 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: Last year. 107 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: Jack Henderson's shown he can do that at state league level. 108 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 3: I think he's a big watch. He was already he's 109 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: had the choice between Melbourne and West Coast in the 110 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: supplemental election period and went with the D's obviously been 111 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 3: playing wherever you but I think as a sign as 112 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 3: well that he would have got it would have been 113 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: a walk up start probably at the Eagles, or more 114 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: chance of games. He must think he's a pretty decent 115 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 3: chance of playing the D's to choose them and choose 116 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: less years on his contract. So I've got a big 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 3: watch on Jack Anderson, especially when we don't have too 118 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: many cheaper mid rookies available. 119 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 120 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: Captain Max Gorn has come out to j clark Coat 121 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: Sports and The Herald Son did a piece with Max 122 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: Gorn on Tuesday and then Gorn admits, you know, they 123 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: became to the same in the midfield. They were worked out. 124 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: Their three man midfield was worked out. They're trying to 125 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: broaden increase their depth in that and we saw in 126 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: the practice match we'll get to a little bit Harvey 127 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: Langford on the inside, a little bit Davy Lindsay on 128 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: the outside as well, So there's a few names to 129 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: go through there and they might share around a little 130 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: bit more, which is going to be good for some 131 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: of these names we talked about, hopefully some more opportunity, 132 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: but there is a game on Tuesday night and the 133 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: news isn't so great for almost a guy we pinned 134 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: our super coach Rookie Hopes on way back when Team 135 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: picker open. It was almost the most popular selection, sad 136 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: Elle Hoully from the Bombers. Dan won't play where is 137 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: he won't be coming down your way to Cap Park. 138 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: Well, actually he will be. He's playing in the VFL game. 139 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: I believe it's pronounced Ben Waterworth, a big, big super 140 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: Coach fan. He was a commentator. I think that was 141 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 3: how he pronounced it. But yeah, the mid season pick 142 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: from last year. His names as an emergency in that 143 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: side one who will get to I think Tom Edwards 144 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: has been named for Essendon. He was another of those 145 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: supplemental selection period picks. Kicks four and a half last 146 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: week in their first practice game. Ninety nine K forward 147 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,559 Speaker 3: their twenty four year olds, so we love that's Connor 148 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: O'Sullivan named as well one forty six K and my 149 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: man Mitch Nevitt named in the center one forty nine K. 150 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: There no Bailey Smith obviously he'll be made. They still 151 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: think he'll be right for opening round though, But yeah, 152 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: interested to see a few of those guys tonight. 153 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 4: Now they go Lewis. 154 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: Hayes another one as well named at center half back, 155 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 3: young key defender, and Zach Reid, who is a cheap 156 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: defender again after obviously getting injured early last year when 157 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: we all had him. 158 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're not watching or you haven't already, code 159 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: sports YouTube channel, see the excitement in Dan Batton's eye 160 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: as when he mentions the name of Mitch Nevitt will 161 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: get to him in the midfielder rankings of the show. 162 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: But he spoke about a few names in the defense. 163 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: Maybe it's not all bad in defense. Let's start their 164 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: top five defender rookies now taking into consideration price, potentially 165 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: out job security. We're not just picking the most talented 166 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: guys here. What have you got for us? No sad 167 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: who's at number one? 168 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 4: It's certainly slim pickings. 169 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 3: But our producer, I think his eyes will line up 170 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: when I say number one, Bo Allen from West Coast 171 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 3: one six case I can see him. I've got Caleb 172 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: Smith at two from Richmond, number three, Zach Reid from Essendon. 173 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 4: For one. 174 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 3: We pitched our hopes on earlier in the year Toby Trevalia, 175 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: but I think it's a bit of a wait and 176 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 3: see about his job security. And Ben Patton potentially cousin 177 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: maybe nephew of Al supers coach fore father. At five, 178 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: he's a death forward and one hundred and thirty three 179 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: k is there anything throwing more more you throw into 180 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 3: that mix? 181 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, Travali is the interesting one. 182 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: I put out my rankings only sort of a week 183 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: and a half two two weeks ago online had him 184 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: at number one. Joey Montagna, new supercoach Ambassa delivered some 185 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: male that super coaches didn't want to hear or didn't 186 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: want to believe on a podcast a couple of weeks 187 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: ago on the Code Sports YouTube channel, But he was right. 188 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: Tabalia sat on the bench to start that practice match, 189 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: came on play well when the final quarter kicked almost 190 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: a seiler of that game. But he's coming down, obviously. 191 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: As we've mentioned on shows and previously before, that could 192 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: all still change. Rosch could still pick him for the 193 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: Amy Series game when he's back in the spotlight. But 194 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: I agree coming has to come down. Those ranks but 195 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: Dan one, I want to throw in now James Leak 196 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: from the Giants a similar story maybe on the surface. 197 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: In the practice match against the Swans, the unofficial match 198 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: simulation didn't play the first three quarters and the full 199 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: strong sides came on played one quarter when it was 200 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: televised at the end, but then they played three more 201 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: quarters off camera. 202 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: They finished. 203 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: They played a longer game, and the Giants did praise 204 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: him on the club website and say did put his 205 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: foot forward to push his case for selection earlier the season, 206 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: which is what we want to hear because one hundred 207 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: and nineteen k He came to the club as a 208 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: tool utility to play at either end, but pushed into 209 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: the midfield in the VFL last season a good stint 210 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: twenty seven disposal of one hundred and thirteen super Coach 211 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: points in a six game stretch on ball, and he 212 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: matched up against Tom Green over summer in the midfield too, 213 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: and Tom Green's out won't play the start of the season, 214 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: so that's where I'm hoping he stays in there. 215 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Leak? Can he are you? Am? 216 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 2: I being too hopeful? 217 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? 218 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: The only reason I had him off that list was 219 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 3: job security really and yeah, we can read too much 220 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 3: into the A side who's in the scene. I think 221 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 3: we'll know a lot more after their final practice game. 222 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: And I think the good thing is with gw X 223 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 3: rookies and all those rookies playing in opening round, we 224 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: can get a look at them in opening rounds. If 225 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: James Leake goes bananas and scores ninety in the midfield, 226 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 3: we can go with him. So I think it's a 227 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: big watch over the next fortnight to see how he 228 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: goes in the community series if he gets much of 229 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: a run, and then if he's in for opening round, 230 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: we can keep our eyes peeled again. So I do 231 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: like him. His DRAFTI was a great interceptor and also 232 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: an impact up forward as well. But yeah, there was 233 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: always that potentially he could move into the midfield, but yeah, 234 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: it might come into fruition in his second season. Just 235 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 3: a couple just to allude to discuss more of those 236 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 3: guys in depth. Obviously, bo Allen probably looks like the 237 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 3: best option now we're thinking Toby Travali was probably the 238 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: Even last week, I would would have agreed with you 239 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: that Travali was the top option. But now after Lee 240 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: Montane's comments and seeing him only play that that half 241 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: on the practice game, it's probably got to be bow 242 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: at number one. 243 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 4: Who else have they got back there? Obviously they've moved ribbon. 244 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: Jimmy there the Eagles, but bo Alan, I think, and 245 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 3: have that immediate impact. He's already played a season waffle 246 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 3: level as well and used the ball well. Can he accept? 247 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: So I think he is ready to go. Zach Reid 248 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: is the only one I want to ask you about. 249 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 3: Looks like a pretty low floor, but it seems like 250 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 3: his job security is rock solid, which is you can't 251 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: say really for the rest of the defenders who are available. 252 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: Will you be picking him as a as a bit 253 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 3: on your bench spot? 254 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: I think so. 255 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: I think if his name, if Brad Scott picks him 256 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: in his fit, which with Brad Scott will pick him 257 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: if he's fit the Bombers and last year and what 258 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: did he last thirty end of the game, not even 259 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: in the first game of twenty twenty four, So but 260 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: I think we pick him on the bench. 261 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 2: It's all getting it together. Pick him. 262 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: If something goes wrong, we all got to pivot. But 263 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: it is good pinch a bench pick. So let's just 264 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: wait and see, because we know he's good user the footy, 265 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: a great user footy in fact for his size as well, 266 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: so can do a lot, just needs to stay on 267 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: the park. So fingers crossed for him and fingers crossed 268 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: for super coaches as well. But Ben Patton quickly before 269 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: we move on to the midfielders. We're hoping maybe heading 270 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: in to this season after last year's draft, that someone 271 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: like Riley Bis, mature ager from the VFL, might come 272 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: in and take a spot in Sydney's defense. We love 273 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: mature ages in super coach. Ben Patten is a mature 274 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: ager of sorts, but not fresh in the league. He's 275 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: been on the list before, he's done it before. You 276 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: think he slots in back there in defense for Sydney. 277 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: One hundred percent sure, But I think his job security 278 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: looks a bit better than maybe a James leaks this stage, 279 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: and he's a bit cheaper obviously. The deaf forwards status 280 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 3: in one hundred and D three k looks pretty good. 281 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 3: He can lock down. His VFL numbers are actually better 282 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: than I thought he's done before for us. I think 283 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: in his first his first two AFL seasons or his 284 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: first time he was a rookie in Super Coach he 285 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: averaged about fifty eight points. He's averaged a season average 286 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: of sixty one as well, and in the VFL he's 287 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: shown a bit more ball uston and being able to 288 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: win the footy, averaging one hundred and three in the 289 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 3: VFL in twenty twenty three. So yeah, I think he 290 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: has the tools to do it again. He's another one 291 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 3: we can watch in the Community Series and also in 292 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: Opening Round. And just a few more that maybe are 293 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 3: pretty close to pattern. I reckon Connor Sullivan is a 294 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: big watch on Tuesday Night against the Bombers, had six 295 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 3: intercepts and nineteen touches according to their club website in 296 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 3: their practice game last week. Was super impressive there. Everyone 297 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: was talking him up. So I think he's a chance, 298 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 3: But just does he fit into that Cat's back on 299 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 3: is the question. Jackson Pryor as well, a de listed 300 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 3: Lion who spent a lot of his time as a 301 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 3: sub at the Lions, so he's at one hundred and 302 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: sixty K and Lewis Hayes as well, the cent half 303 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: back named I'm not sure he could go Zach Reid 304 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: and Lewis Hayes, but they have similar traits. They can 305 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 3: incept and also use the footage. But we should probably 306 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: move on to the mids. How are you seeing the 307 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 3: midfield landscape, because it seems like there's a lot of 308 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 3: expensive rookies there. 309 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: As I saw your team a couple of weeks ago, 310 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: eighteen or something cheap. He's eighteen cheap. Easy's got every 311 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: rookie priced above one eighty K. But I am definitely 312 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: with you. I think there is enough there even without Jagger. Unfortunately, 313 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: even without though, there is enough there at the top 314 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: end bracket. But a guy I didn't think i'd have 315 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: at number one who's come into the number one spot 316 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: with Jagger Smith going out, Elijah Satis from the Bombers 317 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety one K. He's moved in to 318 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: the number one rank with Jagger Smith out. 319 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 2: I've got your man. 320 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: Mitch Nemitt's moved up to number two in the rankings. 321 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: Named on ball for the game on Tuesday night. Did 322 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: enough in the match him and I'm taking your word 323 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: for it. If it doesn't work out, it's all on you. 324 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: Number three. I've had to shuffle around a bit. I 325 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: was a bit sad not to see Neil Erasmus feature 326 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: prominently in the recent Frio internal. 327 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 2: Let's talk about him later. Nathan Odris called number. 328 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: Three at the Dock as a big waffle finals series 329 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: for him last year. 330 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: Number one for I'm still I'm keeping ed Allen. 331 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: I can't get out my head what Nick Deakos said 332 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: about him going to be an absolute superstar. Number five got 333 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: to tie tie for number five down, I can do that. 334 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: This is the phantoms least taking up the rules. 335 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: Levi Ashcroft slash Sid Draper at number five, I just 336 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: split them. If they were both locked in and you 337 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: could tell me right now they'll both play full games 338 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: in the first Super Coach game of the season, they'd 339 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: be well and truly in the top five. A few 340 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: question marks about both of them in terms of role 341 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: sub effect. 342 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: Did Ashrot's gome back from injury? 343 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: So that's my six, let's say, But there's a whole 344 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: heap after that as well that could and might still 345 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: come into that top five after the Amy series. 346 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 2: What do you think one guy? 347 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: My list was very similar, of course, had never very 348 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 3: high number one. Thought he was really impressive. It will 349 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 3: be interesting to see tonight how much of the footy 350 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 3: and how much midfield time he does get with the 351 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 3: Cavalry all back Dusty Parrish said to miss the start 352 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 3: of the season which does help his cause early. And 353 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 3: he obviously another one we can watch in opening round 354 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 3: to assess and if he has an absolute stinker, looks 355 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: like he's gonna get dropped, we can look elsewhere with 356 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 3: plenty of other more expensive options. 357 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 4: But yeah, it is very fluid. 358 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: As you say, not many absolute locks who are cheaper 359 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 3: options as well, so we're gonna have to pay up 360 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: a bit. Another guy I'm willing to pay up for, 361 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 3: I think after watching him in the match SEM on Saturday, 362 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 3: is Harvey Langford look like I thought he was playing 363 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: a fair bit of forward line, but he was using 364 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: the ball really well. But then the CBA numbers come 365 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 3: out on Code Sports and he's had forty five per 366 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 3: cbas so I think they're going to use him in 367 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 3: the midfield. 368 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 4: He's reading he made. 369 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 3: He was a super coach beast in your level, averaging 370 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: one forty plus in the Coach Talent League, and he 371 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 3: has a high impact game. It looks like he's improved 372 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 3: his kicking a bit as well, which is a big 373 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 3: plus because he can win plenty of contest the ball 374 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 3: and have scored of impact. So he's another one I 375 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 3: have around that one eighty K mark. Elijah Hewitt I've 376 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 3: got in my midfield just because there's limited options there. 377 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 3: And yeah, I do really like Nathan and Ri just 378 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 3: call as well. It's just whether you can fit him 379 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 3: in do you chuck him at a flex? And another 380 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 3: name as well, Angus Sheldrick, who has done it before 381 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 3: in Super Coach, had a big stretch a couple of 382 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: years ago, couldn't find his way in. But with Luke 383 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: Parker out of that side, he's another one who has 384 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 3: a big, contested ball, tackle game, which is good for Supercoach. 385 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 3: But again the question mark is his job security. 386 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got Elijah Hewett number one in my forward ranks, 387 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: but if we were picking over all this, I think 388 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: he'd be at the top end definitely for rookies in general. 389 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: We saw him play in the B team of the 390 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: Eagles internal trial over the weekend, but I think we 391 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: can maybe not safely say, but we can say that 392 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: probably was to give him a full run on the midfield. 393 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: They've been talking good things about Hewitt and what they 394 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: expect from him this year over in the West, so 395 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: I don't think we need to be too concerned yet. 396 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: Le's see what happens in the Amy series game. Another 397 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: one who falls into that boat Neil Erasmus, who I 398 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: did have him my Top five a week and a 399 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: half ago. Maybe a bit out of a bit of 400 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: hope or nothing, but it is time for Frio to 401 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: give him a go to rejuvenate a little bit. 402 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 2: Massive in the VFL. 403 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: So the Waffle last year more super coach points on 404 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: average than any midfielder in the competition. Finish with one 405 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: sixty seven, one seventy two and one eighty one, a 406 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: big finish to the year. Nathan Driscol was similar a 407 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: big super coach finish to the year. He looks like 408 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: potentially better chance of taking that wing spot back that 409 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: he had earlier in his career. Neil Rasthmus needs to 410 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: just break in, had played a few played a few 411 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: games being sub as well, hopefully get a chance. He's 412 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: one nineteen k He's one we really want to come 413 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: on and be picked and get a chance in the 414 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: A Miss series because we love to pick him on 415 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: the bench. Ed Alan is the one that's fallen away. 416 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: It hasn't been spoken about a lot, but remember this 417 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: is this kid ninety four super coach points twenty one 418 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: touches on a wet night against the D's in round 419 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: twenty four last year. He was very good. We know 420 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: the Pies are open to in a bit of transition phase. 421 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: They want to get some new butt in there. Craig 422 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: McCrae wants to regivenate his side and hopefully Ed Allen 423 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: is the one to do one ninety four k. I 424 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: guess we have to be a bit more sure about 425 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: these guys at the price, so it does make it 426 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult. Sid Draper Dan We've spoken 427 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: about him a lot, five names, Simeon Thomas Wilson of 428 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: the Lair and the Advertiser's gone back and forth on 429 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: him a bit. Whether he's going to be in their 430 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: round one. Taylor Walker thinks is a very good chance 431 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: to be there in round one. Probably not going to 432 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: start on ball, we didn't expect that from him, but 433 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: might push in there. Could he be the We know 434 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: Matthew Nicks isn't afraid to stub in and out his debutantes, 435 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: whether that's right or wrong. So wait, I'll be watching 436 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: very closely in the amisies. One who is ready, who 437 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: has goodwill against men too, like he meantion top of 438 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: show both Allen has done at the Waffle last year 439 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: in defense. Sid Draper did over here in the sample. 440 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: So if he's in, he's one that could shot the 441 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: list as well. 442 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 3: Yes, it's a really difficult one. All of these names 443 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 3: are very similar that you could all You could see 444 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 3: a lot of them averaging seventy five to eighty if 445 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 3: they have the role. But the role and the job 446 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 3: security is the big question mark. I think that's what 447 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: we're going to see over the next week. Even a 448 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 3: guy like Elijah Starts, we're not absolutely sure he's going 449 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 3: to be playing full time midfield. I think Mitch Debt's 450 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 3: probably the only one we're pretty certain on. The Cats 451 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 3: have been very open with that and all the signs 452 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 3: are pointing to that. But the others, like Levi Ashcroft, 453 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 3: he's probably going to be playing forward. But I think 454 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: if he's playing I'm probably just going to pick him 455 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: and back the talent in. He took the P one 456 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 3: fifty five in his VFL debut last year. At all 457 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 3: levels throughout his juniors, he just wins the footy no 458 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: matter where he is. So even if he's a forward, 459 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 3: I think he could easily average twenty plus disposals. So yeah, 460 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 3: obviously Jack Henson as well as I mentioned a massive watch. 461 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 3: And with all these one hundred and eighty k guys, 462 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 3: a guy who's ninety nine k will be worth his 463 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: weight in gold. So even if he's playing as a 464 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 3: pressure forward role, think that's a massive watch. 465 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'd allowed to pick him on the bench wait 466 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: and see there. But I want to ask you. We 467 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: know you're a draft expert, coming to your own around 468 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: November every year, but is Levi better than Will? 469 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 4: I think he's different. I think Levi. 470 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 3: I think I think Levi probably has has more tricks 471 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 3: up forward. I'd say Ashcross more your role gold midfielder. 472 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,239 Speaker 3: Levi probably has a few more tricks up forward. But 473 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: I would also say that we was probably more well 474 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 3: rounded as a midfielder. So but yeah, Levi, Yeah, I'm 475 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: not sure why he was to four or the slip 476 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 3: to pick four or five. Obviously it was fairly even 477 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: top and his national championships wasn't you know as good 478 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 3: as it probably could have been that we would have 479 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 3: really elevated and stacked his claimers that clear number one pick. 480 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think Levi certainly over his three years 481 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: in my view, was that the leading number one pick. 482 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 3: Not by heat, but yeah it was. It was a 483 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 3: very good top end pool, but yeah, it's I think 484 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: the super coaches are really the beneficiary of that, the 485 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 3: fact that he isn't two two hundred and seven k 486 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 3: and even a guy we haven't mentioned, just Sam Lawler 487 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 3: obviously likely to missed the opening round with that jaw. 488 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: But I'd still be a little bit wary anyway, even 489 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: with the midfield time. He had very LITTLEOD preparation last year. 490 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 3: They'll probably be bit cautious. He played a lot of 491 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 3: forward time against the Eagles, kicked the two goals and 492 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: had a lot of impact, but it was good. Yeah, 493 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 3: I think there's probably better options for a bit cheaper 494 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 3: even if he is getting mid time. Yeah, I think 495 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 3: he might be a danger of being managed at some stage. 496 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 3: And yeah, it hasn't had that hasn't ever had a 497 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 3: full pre season because he's been a gun cricketer as well, 498 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'd probably be looking at those other names 499 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 3: that we mentioned over him, even if he is playing. 500 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: We had a few questions come through a few comments 501 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: on X and it's about the Tiger Cubs and the 502 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: you know when they had that big wholl last November, 503 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: we thought this is super Coach Gold, but it might 504 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: not be. Well, we haven't mentioned as much. Two fits 505 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: into that top end brack as well. Josh Smiley, he 506 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: in your thoughts. We might see him a bit more. 507 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: Has been looking good on the track at times where 508 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: any other Tigers is he going to come into our 509 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 1: thinking at some point. 510 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: He's another one that has also sort of slipped my 511 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 3: mind a bit, missed one week and you know, he's 512 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 3: suddenly out of the conversation because there's so many rookies 513 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 3: in that bracket. But I think Smiley, if he is 514 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 3: playing Round one, I'm probably going to pick him. I 515 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 3: think he's one ninety four centimeters, a big body midfielder. 516 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 4: Showed at Coach League Global. 517 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 3: He was just it was men against boys, and yeah, 518 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 3: obviously I think up against Patrick Cripps, it's no who's 519 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 3: compared to his RaSE draft. You're not expecting him to 520 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 3: go great guns, but he has the body I think 521 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 3: to be able to have an impact early. And we'll 522 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: see with the hamstring whether he does get played early, 523 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: he might be one that potentially one of these other 524 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 3: guys don't come off like a you know, a lang 525 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 3: Fad or an ed Al or a drist School that 526 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 3: we can sideways too if he does dabul and round 527 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 3: two or does pop off. 528 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 4: Earlier in the year. 529 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, I'd be very tempted to start him if 530 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 3: he's there, just because he has the tools and years, 531 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 3: I feel he is a ready made bid. But I 532 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 3: guess that depends if other rookies as well really press 533 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 3: their claims in the next week and a half. 534 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: Plenty of names there. 535 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: Hopefully we get to find out a bit more about 536 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: them over the next week or so and hopefully they 537 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: do become legitimate options in supercoach, especially the ones at 538 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: the bottom end. As usual, though like every year, there 539 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: isn't a lot of names in the ruck, but some 540 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: good ones. 541 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 4: There is. 542 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, so really the two clear standouts are length of 543 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 3: the Flemington tray is Harry Boyd at Saint Kilda and 544 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: Liam Ready at Fremantle. Harry Boyd played pretty much number 545 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: one rock in the practice game on Saturday and show 546 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 3: he's never going to be a high hitout guy. He's 547 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: only one ninety six centimeters. But what he can do 548 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 3: is become an extra midfield around the ground and follow up, 549 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: and I think that's Keeves super coach. We've seen Tristan 550 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 3: Cherry dominate the super coach scoring system with that sort 551 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 3: of game. And I think if he's even playing as 552 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 3: a backup ruck to role Marshall obviously Roy Marshall in 553 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: doubt for round one, but even if Harry Boyd's playing 554 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 3: at center half forward, I think we've just got to 555 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 3: pick him on the bench. Liam Reid, he's another sing one. 556 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 3: I've had him in my flex over the past week, 557 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 3: sort of chopping and changing a bit. Sean Darcy is 558 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 3: slated to come back after a big preseason, had a 559 00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 3: little ankle clean out and expected to come back at 560 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 3: round three of the earliest I think it was. But 561 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 3: as we know, Sean Darcy's injury timeline is often up 562 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: in the air and it's often more than first feared 563 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 3: with him. If REDI is in Round one and we 564 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 3: don't hear any more update about Darcy, would you do 565 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 3: you think Liam Reed is too much of a risk. 566 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: It's hard to stay. 567 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: I think he's almost If that happens, we almost have 568 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: to we've spoken about, you know, ruckman and number one ruckman. 569 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: He's going to score if he can get four or 570 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: five weeks, and maybe he starts and Luke Jackson just 571 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: floats around like it probably looks like Freeman to want 572 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: to do. Then we might get enough cash out of 573 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: Liam Reedy. It might be a train you need to 574 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: get on. So a big watch and just work out 575 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: how we're going to fit him in. Harry Boyd, I 576 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: agree with you there over here in the stample. I 577 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: think four super coach tons over the past two season 578 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: dominated last year. Dominates around the ground, as you mentioned, 579 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: might get beaten at times his hands to the ball 580 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: in the ruck, but can do enough else So but 581 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: with both of them, you know, if these guys are 582 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: number one ruckman at their clubs, even for a few weeks, 583 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: wait and see what happens with roand Marshall. Then these 584 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: are money trains we need to get on. And even 585 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: if boy had a couple of weeks and then, like 586 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: you said, then just playing four and pinches might be 587 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: enough anyway, because if he has one big week, depending 588 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,479 Speaker 1: on what Marshall does for the first game. So I 589 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: like both of them and we might just have to 590 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: get them both in if it works out the way 591 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: we think it's going to work out, But not a 592 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: lot else as usual below that. 593 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 4: And with Ready as well. 594 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 3: Just see some of his numbers last year in the 595 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 3: Waffle average hundred and seventeen points, forty six hitouts, only 596 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 3: eleven to advantage, so not a great hit out tat ruckman. 597 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 4: But yeah, towelve disposals, five tackles as well. 598 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 3: Average one hundred and forty two in his final seven games, 599 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 3: so I had a really strong finish and he ended 600 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 3: up earning a spot. They decided to go with two Rucks, 601 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 3: and it seems like that is the plan early early days. 602 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 3: But in that practice game or in the in the 603 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 3: editionous All Stars game rather where we had super coach points, 604 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 3: Radio only scored the fifty five, and he was coming 605 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: up against a second year ruckman in Colin Livingson, Yeah, 606 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 3: who is very raw. So not exactly a reindorsement. Neither 607 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 3: is He's got thirty two and fifty five and his 608 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 3: two scores last year, so it's not strong numbers. But 609 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 3: as you say that, we've had number one Rucks at 610 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty k before and they've come off 611 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 3: like a Mark Pittnett, etc. It's probably a different bit 612 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 3: of a different story with Reedy, with his long term 613 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 3: job security questionable, and also the fact that he's probably 614 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 3: more more of a split with Jackson, probably a sixty 615 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 3: forty rather than eighty twenty. But I think I'd be 616 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 3: very tempted to start if he's in, and if we 617 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 3: get any more updown on Darcy, especially if it's an 618 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 3: extra couple of weeks, I think they could have some 619 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 3: serious money making ability. 620 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: But not an R too, it's probably too No. 621 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 4: We're not. 622 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 3: I think it'd probably have to be a flex or 623 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 3: maybe an R three if Harry Boyd isn't named. But yeah, 624 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 3: definitely boy definitely the clear Standout's. 625 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I agree, but if you know a rookie ruck, 626 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: it looks risky and at one twenty three k let 627 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: alone ninety nine K doesn't look great on your field. 628 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 2: Have to take a role in Marshall step back or something. 629 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: When you knew Harry Boyd was going to get a 630 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: good run at that's the only way we'd probably be 631 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: starting an R too. But some other interesting mid price 632 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: options around in the ruck, which we have covered on 633 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: the podcast and the vodcast across our channel, So get 634 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: on there and check them out now. But let's finish 635 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: off Dan with the Fords in Supercoach. I had Elijah 636 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: Hewitt down there. We both agreed he was at the 637 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: top end of the overall list. Who have you got? 638 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: Who's your top five? In the forward libe. We know 639 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: there's plenty of mid price value is bargains galore in 640 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: the Super Coach forward line for twenty twenty five, But 641 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: can we squeeze. 642 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 2: Any rookies in there? On field? Is there enough to 643 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 2: go on? Who have you got? 644 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 3: I think there definitely is. But the other problem is 645 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 3: you who are you giving up? You're giving up a 646 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 3: Riley Sanders potentially. You know, we've all probably got a 647 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 3: pretty cookie cutter forward line of Horn Francis besides Al Payton, 648 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 3: of course, Jack McCrae, Riley Sanders and Caleb Daniel. Probably 649 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 3: most of us will some may not have Sanders, But yeah, 650 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 3: it doesn't leave a lot of other slots for rookies. 651 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 3: And this is actually a line that's actually looking pretty good, 652 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 3: which is why i'd probably advocate for if you're not 653 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 3: going readers, if you're probably going a forward rookie or 654 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 3: potentially one of those one ninety k mids because there 655 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 3: appears to be a decent bit of depth here. Elijah 656 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 3: Hewitt number one, I've got him in my midfield. Sam Davidson, 657 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 3: who I've been big on since he was picked up 658 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 3: by the Bulldogs. Number two, Tom Lynch number three, which 659 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 3: I'm getting more unsure of by the day. Isaac CaCO 660 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 3: at four, high impact and should play early. And Max 661 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 3: Hall is probably one that's bolted a bit onto the scene. 662 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 3: Lee Montagna pumped him up on last week's podcast, and yeah, 663 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 3: he was in that look to be in that first 664 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,720 Speaker 3: choice team throughout the preseason and also in that practice 665 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 3: game as well. 666 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 4: Would you have any others different in that list? 667 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 2: Well, you know what I'm going to say here. 668 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: I think I think super coaches are going to have 669 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: to answer the question of the small forwards. Joe Berry 670 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: at Pudelaide or Isaac Kako. I've got Joe Berry at 671 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: the moment. Call my bias towards South Australia. You vice 672 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: word Victoria will let the listeners decide on that. 673 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 4: I think metro V country as well. Vic metro V 674 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 4: country boy. 675 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: But he's doing a lot right Joe Berry as well Cacko. 676 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: Can he get more of the footy maybe, but we 677 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: know I think they've both got weapons and the skill 678 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: set to score well off limited possession in their first year, 679 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: so both legitimate options. Also got Dan Kurtin one hundred 680 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: and fifty eight k in my top five at number 681 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: four at the moment, behind Tom Lynch. 682 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 2: I do have Tom Lynch as well. 683 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm not don't feel good about it, like you said, 684 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: but I think if he's there, you know, last time 685 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: he played the full season or eighteen home and away 686 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: games in twenty twenty two, but the sixty goals averaged 687 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: ninety four points. So if he's there, he almost is 688 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: hard to. 689 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 2: Leave him out. 690 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: But Dan Curtin is an interesting one. We thought the 691 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: midfield move might be happening when preseason started and he 692 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: was working with the Crows on ballers, but he looks 693 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: to a founder spot playing forward in Matthew Nixon's side. 694 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: It's been one of the standout performers on the tracks. 695 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: They're wrapped with him. 696 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 2: The Crows. 697 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 1: We're playing quite high, getting further up the ground and 698 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: getting plenty of the ball, so I think he's probably 699 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: almost definitely there. 700 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 2: Round one. We're not going to get that midfield spike. 701 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: We know he played in the midfield the Under eighteen 702 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: Champs and he's drafted after playing in defense over in way. 703 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: He moved to the midfield with good success and had 704 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: some big numbers. We might not get that right away, 705 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 1: but I think he can probably win enough the ball 706 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: get him bowl forward of center to have an impact. 707 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,720 Speaker 1: So one p fifty eight K he's in my lineup, 708 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: but no essay flavor to yours. 709 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting with Curtain obviously, I think we're both 710 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 3: pretty big on him in his draft year and he's 711 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 3: not yet traditional one ninety seven centimeter guy. He's a 712 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 3: guy who can go to the midfield and probably play 713 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 3: a half back half forward role. But my concern is 714 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 3: he's playing a wing half forward role. He showed some 715 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,280 Speaker 3: good signs in that practice game against Port, but yeah, 716 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 3: I think that's probably in my views better options just 717 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 3: considering his role. If he does go inside more than yeah, 718 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 3: it would definitely be a lot keener. But a guy 719 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 3: like a Max Hall who added a super coach double 720 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 3: Ton last year in the VFL mature age, as well 721 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 3: as a couple three ffoxeeds under his belt and the 722 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,919 Speaker 3: CaCO Berry debt is interesting. I was considering, I've been 723 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 3: you know, obviously he's been declared around one certainty Joe Berry, 724 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 3: and I think Taco is as well. But Kaco is, 725 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 3: in my view, probably more high high impact per possession 726 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 3: as he showed in that practice game, showed some really 727 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 3: he showed off his exciting traits. We saw that with 728 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 3: like a Nick Watson, Josh RASHELLI in the past. These 729 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 3: guys can get on runs and make quick money. Whereas 730 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 3: Joe Berry, you know, he's probably he's probably more your 731 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 3: link man. He might be more consistent getting your sort 732 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 3: of your Ford fifty sixty sort of scores. But I 733 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 3: think Isaac Kaco has that potential to go eighty plus 734 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 3: with a couple of goals and off say eleven disposals, 735 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 3: and he's so creative as well in the forward line. 736 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm very tempted to start him, Like all 737 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 3: the signs say, probably not because he's a small forward, 738 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 3: but yeah, I think the job security is definitely there. 739 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 3: The other guy who's or he was drafted as a 740 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 3: forward B team might be playing more of a wing role. 741 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 3: With Sam Davidson, I really like him as a pick 742 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 3: his dirt cheap. I think he's at one hundred and 743 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 3: thirty k. Mature Ago averaged seventy points in his first 744 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 3: VFL season last year, and Bevo just loves playing these guys. 745 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 3: He doesn't like playing guys in their actual positions, but 746 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 3: he loves a VFL guy that he picks up off 747 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 3: the scrap heap and plays in a role. And I 748 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 3: think Sam Davison is one of those guys who is 749 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 3: just going to run all day. We saw Oli Dempsey, 750 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 3: you know, average really strong numbers in a half forward 751 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 3: wing role. I think Sam Davison has the tool to 752 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 3: play a similar role where he's running up and back, 753 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 3: taking marks and delivering inside fifties. So yeah, I think 754 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 3: that's why I probably have him so high, and a 755 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 3: few others. 756 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 4: There are definitely a few others. 757 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: Just quickly on Davison. I've got him at number two 758 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: as well. I think probably the easiest rookie pick in 759 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: super coach. I think put him on your forward bench 760 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: if you're just picking your team, now slot him in 761 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: there on your bench cheap. Mature Aga won the board 762 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: for the best Young player in the VFL, which we 763 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: know is a ticket to all the big. 764 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 2: Time, So. 765 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: Put him on your bench and be done with it. 766 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: A few other names, as you're going to say now, 767 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: a bit less certainty about it, that's right, like. 768 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 3: Neil Rasmus, Like if he's playing g you'd be hard 769 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 3: to overlook him in one hundred and nineteen K, especially 770 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 3: if he's named in a midfield spot or something like that. 771 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 3: But I guess he is a bit of a risk 772 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 3: for getting dropped or playing as a sub. Connor Stone, 773 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 3: I think he definitely has the role there off halfback, 774 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 3: been recast as a defender after struggling to get in 775 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 3: due to injury. And also just and probably you know 776 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 3: you look at that GWS forward line, it's absolutely stacked 777 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 3: as well. One nineteen K appears to be in the 778 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 3: A team most of the time this preseason, but when 779 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 3: the guys come back from suspensions, is he going to 780 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 3: be a chance of being dropped? I think that's another 781 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 3: one to watch. Another big watching opening rounded Tom Edwards, 782 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 3: who I allude to before I was loading him in 783 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,720 Speaker 3: on my bench more so to fit in some other guys, 784 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 3: which probably isn't the right strategy. You probably should be 785 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,479 Speaker 3: looking to pick the rookies first. And then everywhere else. 786 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 3: But you know, as you do, you're playing around a 787 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 3: bit in the preseason, and I think he averaged around 788 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 3: step seventy five points in the Waffle last year showed 789 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 3: you you can have a high ceiling and if you 790 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 3: can have a similar impact like he did last week 791 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 3: with four goals and a half, I think with his 792 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 3: overhead marking, tested marking, an ability to hit the scoreboard 793 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 3: at twenty four years old, I think he certainly one 794 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 3: to really keep in your plans. 795 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: Yep, there are plenty of names there. Just a couple 796 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,399 Speaker 1: of the questions from X to finish off at the 797 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: Phantom mESC four our rookie expert, Dan Batton, Woolf's day 798 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: in the forward line, Aidan Johnson, a mature aga another 799 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: one from the VFL for the D's are we going 800 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: to see him? We pinned our hopes on him a 801 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: little bit after the draft for super Coach, but is 802 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: he going to feature? 803 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 2: Do you think? Early in twenty twenty five? 804 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 3: It was interesting I was watching that game and he 805 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 3: was spending some time in the rock, which I think 806 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 3: he's obviously promising for his scoring. And that's what Jason 807 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,959 Speaker 3: Taylor said on Draft night that he would be able 808 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 3: to play as a backup. Ruckmann at one hundred and 809 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 3: ninety three centimeters looks like it might be between him. 810 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 3: They might be picking two of him aid him, Dan 811 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 3: Turner and Matt Jefferson, who is on an uncapped a 812 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 3: third year key forward who's one hundred and nineteen k 813 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 3: who's probably wanted to keep an Eyeby's probably lower on 814 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 3: our priority listen than s A and Aiden Johnson. I 815 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 3: don't think you could pick him with any confidence, but 816 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 3: if he is named, he'll be hard to overlook, especially 817 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 3: if he is getting that rough time and if he 818 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 3: does show some more signs in that second practice. 819 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: Game plenty to look forward to a big week coming 820 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: up for super Coaches and the rookie landscape. Hopefully we've 821 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 1: covered off a few names there to get you start 822 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: to build the foundation of your Super Coach team. We 823 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: know the cheapes are the key, and we might have 824 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: to reconvene Dan Laiter ahead of round one in the 825 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: first game in Super Coach to see who we've locked 826 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,600 Speaker 1: in once we've got some more data. But of course 827 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,320 Speaker 1: the Rookie Bible link below if you're watching on Code 828 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: Sports YouTube right now.
