Speaker 2: I'm well mate, Always a pleasure and it's a very

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: special guest today.

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah. We've got rid of patch for this one

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: to bring in the man, the myth, the legend of

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: the draft community, a man who's completely sold out. And

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: come on the Official super Coach Podcast Stevie Phizz from

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: the Draft Doctors. Welcome Stevie.

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, good a Darsie. Thanks thanks for having me.

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: The check cleared so it's all good, mate, it's all good.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Thanks very much for jumping on, Stevie. We know you

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: love your super coach, so gonna go through Lecdog's ranks

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: on this list on this podcast today. Sorry, but you

18
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: have let us know in the private group chat just

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: to warn you, LEF Dog before before we do jump

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: into your ranks. Steve has said that he's aiming to

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: tear them to shreds. That is a direct quote, tear

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: them to shred Stevie. What's this all about?

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: Well, he's a Canton man. You gotta they usually have

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: big preseasons, so you've got to just take them down

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: a peg, just humble them a fraction. So now, Alex

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: a good Man, I'm sure he's all over it.

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And honestly, I've got another article coming out to

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: walk close to the season where I re rank them,

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: so I'll probably just take all of seeds advice and

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: update them based on that. So it's basically free content

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: for me.

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: It's win win perfect.

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: Well, draft is actually open now, so you can go

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: make your league get ready for draft day. Obviously, you

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to be drafting now, it's a pretty

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: distance off. Still, we want to see some practice matches,

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: We want to see some some certain games and performances

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: and roles from our players before drafting. So but you

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: can jump in now and set up those legs. And

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: we're actually doing right now a bit of a mock

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: draft to get you ready for that season. We'll have Lecdog.

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: I think we'll be doing some content on that as

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: well coming up. But I just wanted to touch base

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: with you guys. We're in about the end of the

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: just looking now. Actually I think it's your pick Steve. Now,

46
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: but we're at the end of the fourth round, heading

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: into the fifth Lecdog. Have you noticed anything yet? It's

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: still pretty early in the draft. It's a twelve team

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: league for those wondering. We've got a bunch of content

50
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: creators jumping on board to help us out with this one.

51
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: But anything you've noticed off the top in the early

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: rounds leftoc h.

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: No, nothing really going strange. He probably more rucks gone

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: at this stage than I thought there would. So we

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: had Cherry and Gorne go early in the first round,

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: and then there's been You kicked it off actually in

57
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: round two, a bit of a run with Tom Deconnie

58
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: in round two.

59
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: It was a bit early for the big fella. But look,

60
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm high on TDK. Wanted to throw. Yeah, I wanted

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: to get the ruck run going nice and early. But Steve,

62
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: have you got any thoughts on just the early part

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: of the mock draft at the moment, As I said,

64
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: it's very early. It's only heading into the fifth at

65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: the moment.

66
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, i'd probably echo Lex thoughts. One thing

67
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: you see as a rule in the expert quote unquote

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: drafts is people will sit back on the rucks aside

69
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: from the early guys, so probably to see that big

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: run happen when there's maybe a few question marks. I

71
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: know I took Gorn myself, but beyond that, may be

72
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: a little bit surprised seeing how deep at bats and

73
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: maybe some questions being asked if guys like Darcy and Marshall.

74
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's a nice little teaser for the upcoming.

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what sort of content we're

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: going to do. Might be an article, might be a

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: little bit of a pod. We'll wait and see for that,

78
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: but keep an eye out for that mock draft coming

79
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: your way soon. Let's get into our defender ranks. The

80
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: way the show has been working, we've been going through

81
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Lectdog's rankings and then talking about them as we go.

82
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: We are going to go through the top thirty defender

83
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: rankings for Lectdog and we'll kick it off with your

84
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: ranks one to ten in the Defenders.

85
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll run through them first and then we

86
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: can dive into a bit of detail. So in tier one,

87
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: for me, I've got three guys, Harry Sheezel, Jackson Claire,

88
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: and Luke Ryan. Tier two is Jordan Clark and Lockie Whitfield.

89
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: That's your top five, and then you're remaining five. I've

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: got Sam Flanders sitting in tier three on his own,

91
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about him. I'm sure Tier four is

92
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Wanganeen Malerra, Max Holmes, Nick Martin, and Dan Houston. And

93
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, that's ten.

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: That's ten. There you go, that's your top ten.

95
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: Correct. Well, I mean I've got a few players I

96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: want to talk about, but to hand it over to

97
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: the man who wants to tear him to shreds, I'd

98
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: better get it over to Stevie Fizz and see if

99
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: you've got any specific players you want to talk about

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: in this top ten.

101
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: It's probably Luke Ryan is the player who I'm down

102
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: on this season as opposed probably if you're basing your

103
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: ranks sort of around last year's averages, sort of can't

104
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: see that first half especially repeat for Ryan. I think

105
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: he's disposals will come down. He's still obviously a great

106
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: interceptor and still worthy of a top ten pick. I

107
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: think I have him at D six, so I was

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: still still like him. But for me, he's actually just

109
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: not that top tier defender. I'm not projecting him that way.

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: Heading into this season, so he's probably a standout for

111
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: me that I might not be as hot on.

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting one. I mean, just to put

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: some numbers to it. I know people have talked about it.

114
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: He talked about the hot start, a bit of a

115
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: slow finish, one hundred and thirty average from rounds one

116
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: to twelve and then one hundred and two super coach

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: average from rounds thirteen to twenty four. But leckdog, Yeah,

118
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: just talk us through this third ranking for lu Grin.

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it was a season of two halves

120
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: last year. I do think there will be a regression there.

121
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: I think we're probably going to expect something closer to

122
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: his twenty twenty three numbers, which was about one hundred

123
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: and ten from memory, which is still pretty decent for

124
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: super Coach. Yeah, there'll be a bit of a drop off,

125
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: but I also know that mate fantasy Freco has been

126
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: tweeting about him, and that is always a good signed preseason.

127
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: So he talked about averaging one hundred and twenty six

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: in the games where they played quick and one hundred and

129
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: twenty one in the games where they played slow, And

130
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: that's a sample size of ten games. It's not massive,

131
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: but I just think I think he's still going to

132
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: get one hundred and ten plus it might not be

133
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen, and I think he's a relatively

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: safe option. Whereas just talking about the draft we're doing today,

135
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: I took him with my first or second pick. Maybe

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: I was actually tempted to take his teammate who I've

137
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: got just below him at fourth, Jordan Clark, ahead of him,

138
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: because I'm pretty high on Jordan Clark, but there was

139
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: nothing to back that up so as in choosing Ryan

140
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: over Clark. So for me, Ryan's still a top tier dude, Sinclair,

141
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be awesome. I know you're

142
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: not on him dos and I know that there's some

143
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: injury concerns over him since I made these rankings, but

144
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: I don't think Heaps is going to Heaps. He's going

145
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: to split Sheeesel Sinclair and Ryan come the end of

146
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: the season.

147
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not as hot on him, but I still think,

148
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, again, very worthy of a top ten pick, Sinclair.

149
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm not off that at all, like the way he

150
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: finished last season, and I mean the more injuries that

151
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: mount as well at Saint Kilda, the more high I'm

152
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: getting on him because he's probably going to have plenty

153
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: of the Sharon back there as well or wherever he plays.

154
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: One player I do want to touch on, Steve, if

155
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: is your thoughts on Sam Flanders at six in the

156
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: rankings after his massive year last year averaging close to

157
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty Super Coach points.

158
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got him at four at the minute and

159
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm not you know, the back thing. He probably needs

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: an adjustment. He probably needs an adjustment to come down

161
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: a few spots, So I don't know. I'm where Leck

162
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: has him. I love the player obviously, but yeah, he

163
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: would be okay, all right, you should be fine playing

164
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: through the midfield for Gold Coast.

165
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: I did actually have him at six before the injury news,

166
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: so just to fan those flames. But for me, there's

167
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: just it was just a question mark on where exactly

168
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: I think he's going to score. Well, I don't think

169
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: he's going to score on hundred and twenty points a game.

170
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: I just I don't know the suns in the same

171
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: way you do, mate.

172
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: I just I don't know.

173
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: I don't know where he plays, and that's enough for

174
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: me to drop him down the ranks.

175
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: A couple of picks, fair enough, Was there any other

176
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: players you wanted to touch on, Steve before we move to

177
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the next sort of ten of ranks.

178
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: I've actually got Houston at D three, so he's a

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 3: player I'm far more comfortable selecting than Leck. You probably

180
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: get him at a better value than that. I think

181
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: he's got a lot of room for improvement at Collingwood.

182
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: You know, he never had the kick in Chare at

183
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: Port Adelaide. There should be plenty of intercepts for him

184
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: at Collingwood. So I actually, I think he's got a

185
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 3: lot of upside. Really, he's someone who I could take

186
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: as a Tier one defender who you don't necessarily have

187
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: to draft there. Allo, I'm pretty early in the mock.

188
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: He did go very early in the in the mock,

189
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: I've actually I mean, I won't bore you with all

190
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: the details, but I do track super coach averages like

191
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: of by position of players when they move clubs over

192
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: the years, and generally defenders do, like particularly in the

193
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: Dan Houston role, do see an uptick, especially in that

194
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 2: first year that they move across. So I think there's

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: room for improvement for him there. But he's he's just

196
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: someone that's never I've never really gelled with, and there's

197
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: a bit of bias in this where he falls into

198
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: this category, where with me with Malaria Holmes and Martin

199
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: who I'm probably emphasizing their upside based on their age

200
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: and experience over his upside on roll And I mean,

201
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: flip a coin. I know I'm lower on Houston than

202
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people are out there.

203
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: I think we can move on to the next batch

204
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: of plais your ranks eleven through to twenty.

205
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's pull it up eleven through twenty. Okay,

206
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: so Tier five we have my boy Bailey Dale and

207
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: Jayden Short. Tiers six, these are the old blokes Dane Zorco,

208
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: Tom Stewart, James Cicily, Jeremy McGovern. We're going to call

209
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: that the old bloke tier. Then we've got in Tier

210
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: seven Nick Blakey, Colby mckircher, Maddie Roberts, and rounding out

211
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: the top twenty is and there's plenty of guys in

212
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: Tier eight here, but the twentieth player on my list

213
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: is Mitch Hinge, who was just one of my favorite

214
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: blokes to draft in the Super Coach.

215
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: I want to specifically talk about a guy who finished

216
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: last year incredibly hot, and I'll then I'll get your

217
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: takes cebe fizzed. But I really like Matt Roberts a

218
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: fair bit higher than nineteen this year. Came home firing

219
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: last year, averaging over one hundred towards the back half

220
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: of the season. He's got a ridiculously high kicking percentage.

221
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: I think the fan to mentioned it on our podcast

222
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: about Classic yesterday that we recorded, and it was saying

223
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: like eighty four percent kicking efficiency and it was one

224
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: of the highest in the league for people over twelve

225
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: kicks a game. So he's a guy that Sydney I

226
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: think will rely on to distribute the ball out of

227
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: the back half. And I've kind of got him. I

228
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: think I've got him all the way up at ten

229
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: in my recent ranking. Sign I'm super high on Maddi

230
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: Roberts this year. But Stevie Fears, have you got any

231
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: notable players there that you'd like to speak through and

232
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Matt Roberts as well.

233
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Matt Roberts I find tricky because it's not

234
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: a huge sample size. New coach too, I will say,

235
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: James Cecily, I can't have a bar of it. Man,

236
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: I can't have it. I've got him at D thirty.

237
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: Oh wow, just start on him. Well, I mean you

238
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: think about it like this, is he going to play forward?

239
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: I tend to over the years, I've tended to if

240
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm down on someone, I don't move them down five spots,

241
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: like I'll move them down a dozen spots. So I

242
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 3: can't have it with the uncertainty.

243
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: I am so Cecily, I have what's that? What do

244
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: I have him at fifteenth for defenders? But I actually

245
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: have him a lot lower in my overall rankings just

246
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: the way it panned out, and he dropped like seventy

247
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: or eighty spots year on year for me in the rankings.

248
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: So I'm also concerned by him, particularly with that questionable

249
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: tall forward line at Hawthorne. It's not specifically the fear

250
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: that he'll go forward for me, but there is uncertainty

251
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: there and they've added in, you know, two big elements

252
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: into that back line. So I appreciate the fear and

253
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: having thirtieth. Having him thirtieth is probably makes sense just

254
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: for me. I'm like, if I if I'm looking, if

255
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there and you're forcing me to pick someone

256
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: it during the live draft, and I've got Cicily or

257
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: my boy who I love, Mitch Hinge. I'm probably just

258
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: going to take Cecily ahead just because of I don't

259
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: know he's going to play theoretically everything unless he punching

260
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: people again. So yeah, he is a difficult player to

261
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: I don't want him on my team. I'm going to

262
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: avoid drafting him if I can.

263
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: There's a couple of fossils in the list, as you

264
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: did mention Lek, that you've been, you know, potentially harsh

265
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: on if you look at just their average of last year.

266
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: But you're really kind of, you know, factoring in the

267
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: age you've mentioned in like a couple of previous podcasts

268
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: that you're not you certainly give a bigger hit to

269
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: players with an injury history as well, So these guys

270
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: certainly would tick that box as well. But Jeremy McGovern

271
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: and Dane Zorco, if you just looked at their average

272
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: from last year, would be a lot higher up the list.

273
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: But Stevie, are you as harsh on players that you

274
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: know have had standout seasons like they did, played probably

275
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: irregularly high games for their traditional histories? Are you sort

276
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: of dropping them as far as you know, Jeremy McGovern

277
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: at sixteen and Dane Zorco at thirteen.

278
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: Man, I love Zorko, like I find the injury narrative

279
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: around Zora kind of puzzling. He's basically played twenty plus

280
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: games every year, so I don't know. Man's I mean,

281
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: if you're playing twenty games, I'm pretty happy with that.

282
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: So I've got him far higher than then Lack. I

283
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: understand dropping guys like that, and Jeremy McGovern's I've got

284
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 3: him at twenty four, and it's not because he's old.

285
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: It's just because he, you know, spends more time in

286
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: the medical tent than Alan Alder. There's an old man

287
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: reference for you people. So yeah, it's a fair.

288
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like zork he had twenty three last year, had

289
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: seventeen nineteen twenty one, like their acceptable game amounts. It's

290
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: just it's when those games happen, and I just if

291
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm given the choice between someone who like I just

292
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: don't want that injury to happen in the game where

293
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: I need to win to make finals, or that first

294
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: week of finals or whatever, so I bump those guys down.

295
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: McGovern's the same, like yeah, had a very good year,

296
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: but how often does he do it well?

297
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: He doesn't do it, So it's this is a Bill

298
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: Simmons line.

299
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: But I like my footy players to play footy and

300
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy McGovern doesn't do that. Tom Stewart, I'll just touch on.

301
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: His isn't an age thing. His is more of a

302
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: role thing. We saw him move sort of from back

303
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: line to the wing to sort of outside. He inside

304
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: midtime last year, and I carried him in Classic for

305
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: most of last year, and he was fine towards the

306
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: end of the year. But I just there was enough

307
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: uncertainty and they've acquired enough talent that I'm just just

308
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: happy to push him down a little bit.

309
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: Just want one. I want to talk about one more

310
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: players that the Hat bros As you like to call him,

311
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: Stevie Fizz, are getting around a bit. Jaden Short up

312
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: at twelve, So the Classic community is getting quite a

313
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: bit around Jaden Short as a player that you could

314
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: return to some great heights, given I think his average

315
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: was only in the eighties low eighties last year. He's

316
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: done ninety plus in the past, and the Tigers, obviously

317
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: it's presumably going to be in their back line quite

318
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: a bit.

319
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not as hot on short. I've got him

320
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: at seventeen, and I'll probably end up moving him down.

321
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure he's very good at this point.

322
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: Like I know that's harsh, Like he's obviously a good player,

323
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: but I don't know if maybe the best has passed him.

324
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: And I don't really want many parts of that Richmond

325
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: team to be perfectly.

326
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: Fair, absolutely fair. Can we talk.

327
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: About Max Holmes? Because I know people like Max Holmes

328
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: and I love the player, but there's a guy, you know,

329
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: you talk about Tom Stewart getting split around, Like if

330
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: Max Holmes is playing like let's say forty percent inside

331
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: midfield and then a lot of the time on the wing,

332
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit casual about him.

333
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

334
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: Look, and I think that's fair enough for me. I'm

335
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: sort of hoping that they transitioned him back into and

336
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: again you don't want to hope when you're drafting, but

337
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: transition him behind the ball a bit more.

338
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: I didn't love.

339
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: From a super co perspective perspective that when he was

340
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: on the wing and stuff. But the other thing you

341
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: have to understand is that if I drafted someone in

342
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: a Dynasty League, they get bumped up the rankings. And now,

343
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: admittedly I did trade Max Holmes to try and go

344
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: for a back to back flag in my main dynasty league,

345
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: but I did draft him, so I did call it,

346
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 2: and that as a result, he does get a bump.

347
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: I think he's really a really, really good outside player,

348
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: which is the problem, right.

349
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: I mean, that is a problem. What I want to see.

350
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: What I want to see is how they use like

351
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: a Bailey Smith because he's and I don't know if

352
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: we'll get to the forwards. I don't actually think Bailey

353
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 2: Smith is that good in terms of super coach or football,

354
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: but I understand that everyone else does. So I'm interested

355
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: to see how that whole side sort of shakes up.

356
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: And I'm just hoping that there's enough kind of outside

357
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: players there that they just shove Homes behind the ball

358
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: and trust that he can kick it to a teammate.

359
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at games at which he attends did

360
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: like if he's going to be more of an inside

361
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: mid the games he attended fifty percent plus center bounces

362
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: and he averaged over one hundred in those It's nine games,

363
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: like it's not a massive sample. Last year but I

364
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe that's just what people are going off.

365
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: If he's going to play a bit more inside mid,

366
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: even if he plays a defender, I don't know. I

367
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't dislike the pick. I just yeah, I

368
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: feel like i'd be I mean, talk about injury prone.

369
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: I think this guy could certainly tick that box. Twenty

370
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: five games last year, but still managed to do a

371
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: hamstring right at the end of the season. So always

372
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: seems to have those those hamstring concerns. With the high

373
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: explosive game that he sort of plays. Hopefully he can

374
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: get his body right. Let's talk about twenty one to thirty.

375
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: Lek al Right, Well, this is where you get into

376
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: a bit of fun. So I've got Trent Rivers in

377
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: at twenty one. He's a Tier eight guy alongside John

378
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: Noble and Carl Aimon and Mitch Hinge who was in

379
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: the top twenty. Kellum Mills is low. I know he's

380
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: going to be low compared to what most people think.

381
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: At tier nine, I've got Kellum Mills, Harry Similberg, Daniel Rioli,

382
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: Adam Sad, Andrew mcgrah and Kellum Wilkie. In thirtieth is

383
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: kiddeen Coleman, who I think might actually be injured at

384
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 2: the moment, so that doesn't bode necessarily very well.

385
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, as you mentioned, you did these ranks, yeah

386
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: before the last couple of weeks, and that it's a

387
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: long time in pre seasons sometimes. Yeah, Kitty, you'd imagine

388
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: you bump that down. He's not going to be coming

389
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: back until you know, a few rounds into the season

390
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: at the very earliest. From what we've heard, he's.

391
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 4: Bump up Rory Atkins instead.

392
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Then let's talk Callum Mills. Steve ifi is, what are

393
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: your thoughts on him this season?

394
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: D nine for me? D nine, And I've seen him higher, man,

395
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 3: I've seen him higher.

396
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty high. I think I've

397
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: got thirteen. I'm just sort of on the edge of

398
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: I might even bring him higher if I see even

399
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: more midfield stuff and also seeing Stevie's higher on him,

400
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: so bump him up. As we've mentioned the draft guru here, Yeah,

401
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: walk us through why you're not high on him, like

402
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: twenty fourth overall in your ranks in defender.

403
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's the play football factor, it's the new

404
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: coach factor, it's the angus angus Sheldrick hype factor.

405
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 4: I mean, if Sheldrick's in, you can't have Mills in

406
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 4: there as well. But you know, he is a leader.

407
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: He is going to want to prove himself after what

408
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: was he doing wrestling preseason and snapped his arm last year. Like,

409
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: there's a lot of reasons for him to prove his output.

410
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: And he's definitely one that, like you look at this list,

411
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: he's going to get a bump. But my initial reaction

412
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: to him was just I just didn't trust him essentially

413
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: fair enough.

414
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting where he goes and Steve,

415
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: as you said, I think people got him high. It's

416
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: going to be fascinating where Calum Mills goes in draft.

417
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we talked about a guy like

418
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Clayton Oliver last year, are expecting a big bounce back,

419
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: but his draft range could be wildly different in each draft.

420
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: I'd imagine the same with Calum Mills, just given his

421
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: injury history, given his role, given his all these different things.

422
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 1: But the defender status, does you know, it's always tempting

423
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: and if you've got him D nine, you'd be happy

424
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: drafting him early. I want to talk about Trent Rivers

425
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: as well. Twenty one. What's your thoughts on him, Steve?

426
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: Some talk he's going to move into more of a

427
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: midfield role. He's got defender mid status. Twenty one? Where

428
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: are you sitting on?

429
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: Trent?

430
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: Rivers actually have him in the exact same spot, I

431
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 3: believe it or not, So I don't mind Rivers. Obviously,

432
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 3: it's a hard midfield to maybe get points in, So

433
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: I think twenty I wouldn't want him as any higher

434
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: than my D three, so I'd be Yeah, he's a

435
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: player I think has limited upside, but I like because

436
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: he's got a good role.

437
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: A couple of sons here and lack your thoughts on

438
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: I see a lot of like you've got John Noble,

439
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: You've got Daniel Rioli, you know Will Powell to reveal

440
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: the bring back the curtain. He's at thirty three as well,

441
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: so you've sort of are you thinking it's going to

442
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: be a bit more mouse to feed back there this

443
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: year and no one person really takes the bulk of points.

444
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: I think it is a bit more mouse to feed

445
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: if Flanders is playing, you know less behind the ball

446
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: than he did at stages last year. I'm a big

447
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: John nobleman. I'm not sure why, but I'm just think.

448
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: John Steve the audio listener, Steve is shaking his head

449
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: right now, keen to get his thoughts in a second.

450
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 4: I've always loved John Noble. I don't know why.

451
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because he looks kind of rattish, but I'm

452
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: supportive of him and Daniel Reol. I just think if

453
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: you go and acquire two guys who play essentially exclusively

454
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: off the half back, your intention is to play them

455
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: there especially. I mean, I know Gold Coast trade with

456
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: pretend picks and they don't actually value them, so it

457
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. But if you're given way assets to get

458
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: those guys in, I think there's intent there.

459
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 4: Noble similar Rivers is like.

460
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 2: A D four guy D five, but he'll score your

461
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 2: eighty five points and he has a cap of above

462
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: one hundred.

463
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: So I've got him in there.

464
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: And then, yes, will Power's a little bit lower, just

465
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 2: because I think he's when I was doing the depth charts.

466
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: He's just sort of the one that was slightly unlucky

467
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: with that acquisition Lens over the team.

468
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: I feel like will Power has been a perennial guy

469
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: in keeper leagues where coaches are just waiting for the

470
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: role to emerge, and every time it did, he seemingly

471
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: got injured right as he was about to step into

472
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: this prime role. And now he's got a couple more

473
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: people to contend with. Steve, your thoughts on the Suns

474
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: mix in the defensive defensive line, Yeah, well there's a lot.

475
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: To play out. I suspectable Powell plays more lockdown on

476
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 3: the medium size forwards. I like dan Uriali enough, he's

477
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: in the in the twenties. For me, he should be fine.

478
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm obviously not as hot on Noble as Lack. I

479
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: don't have some affection for him. I have no affection

480
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 3: when the trade went through, why would we do that?

481
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: But anyway, it was.

482
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: A perplexing trait just for the record, and that's why

483
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: I think he has to have a role because otherwise

484
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense.

485
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: Well, you know, these are AFL recruiters that you know

486
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: sometimes don't always do what makes sense. There's a lot

487
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: of mouse, there's a lot of potential in the half

488
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 3: back line for the Suns, and the Sons are actually

489
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: pretty good moving the ball just broke down going forward.

490
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: So actually there were strange recruitments. To me, I understand

491
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: Daniello's quality player, so like that, I just I can't

492
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: trust John Noble. I don't know that he's a very

493
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: efficient player. I don't know that he's better some of

494
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: these other guys. And I find it hard to rank

495
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: so many sons particularly high.

496
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: That's fair, I mean, that's all fair bite. And I

497
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 2: guess I guess what I should have probably done is

498
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: bump them all lower because I had question marks.

499
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 4: Over all of them.

500
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: But I think one of them is going to provide

501
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: that D four maybe D three value.

502
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be John Noble.

503
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: Spoiler, you'll work out which person from the Sun's back

504
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: line I got in a mid season draft in my

505
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: dynasty league. But I do think in that carl I

506
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: mean Mills is obviously going to get bumped up, but

507
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 2: in that Sad has an opportunity just by role, of

508
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: course question marks over his body. I think Really and

509
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: Noble have been brought in to fulfill a role. Carl

510
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: Amon's role is always very defined. He just doesn't always

511
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: deliver the points we want. I think anyone in this

512
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: sort of tier eight tier nine range for me, and

513
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: maybe I'll concede kelm Mills should be a little high.

514
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: It's all a little bit of a crapshoot in there

515
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: for me.

516
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: Any players on the list Stevie Fizz in this top

517
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: thirty absent that you you know, surprised and missing.

518
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: Probably Liam Duggan. I think Dugan should play midfield straight

519
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 3: away for West Coast. With what's going on there, he'd

520
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 3: probably be the standout one. I guess you'd say I

521
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: have lost an in, so probably I'm a little bit

522
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 3: down on short compared to consensus, and I'm a little

523
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: bit happier to draft I've lost and a lot of

524
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: the players are very similar though. Steve Mayer, I'll have

525
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: him there. He's pretty consistent, always has the kick ins

526
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 3: and can take an inter set for Melbourne, So I like,

527
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: you know, those two things are pretty good for supercoach,

528
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 3: pretty good player. But yeah, probably not wildly different. I

529
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: guess you'd say.

530
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: Liam Duggan's probably a good shout. I had him in

531
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: my top one hundred last year and he just slipped out,

532
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: and preseason if he's in the team, he'll probably push

533
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 2: his way in. I think that's a good shout. Boston

534
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: had a had a like a really underrated last couple

535
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: of years for super Coach. He's a good play and

536
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: I think he's the perfect sort of draft if he

537
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: can get of it. I don't know, D four, D five,

538
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: whatever it is. He'll serve you well.

539
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: Before we wrap things up, and I'll give you a

540
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: bit of time. I'll pad for you, guys, because this

541
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: is a question I've thrown in there at the last minute. Here,

542
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: I want your sleeper this season in the defensive line

543
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: as well, So we'll get to that and I'll mention

544
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: my guy. I've just got to mention him on every

545
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: podcast this preseason. But I'm going with Ari Shawan Maker

546
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: as my sleeper in drafts. I think he's going to

547
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: step in and just take a massive role in the

548
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: defensive line for Saint Kilda. I think there's there's room

549
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: for him there. There's as much as we've got two

550
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: of the top ten defenders according to Lex Ranks here

551
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: playing at Saint Kilda in Jack Sinclair and Zaia Wanganeen Miller,

552
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: I think there is going to be room for him there.

553
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: We saw Riley Bonner, for goodness sake last year playing

554
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: a defensive key role as a distributor out of the

555
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: Saint Kilter back line. Ari shall Maker's got a booming kick,

556
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: a great disposal. I know he's only nineteen twenty years old,

557
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: but this guy's booming left pegs just unbelievable to watch.

558
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: I think he'll be taking some kick ins and have

559
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: a significant role given especially they've had a couple of

560
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: early injuries. Dougal Howard's going to be out for a bit,

561
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: Josh Battles left the club. I think they've had a

562
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: couple of other injuries as well. So Iri shall Maker

563
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: for me, hopefully I've padded a long enough for you

564
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: guys to sort out your sleeper. Leck, you look ready

565
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: to go. Who have you got for us?

566
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 4: Look?

567
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 2: I think so a guy we've sort of mentioned him,

568
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: A guy of at twentieth. I think Mitch Hinge is

569
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: really good and I think he probably gets overlooked in

570
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: a lot of drafts.

571
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what his ADP is.

572
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: I think I've got him at twenty and I reckon

573
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: you can probably get him as like he'll probably be

574
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: the thirtieth to fortieth defender that goes off in Super Coach.

575
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: He still has that tag of injury prone, even though

576
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: he played it hell of a lot of games last year.

577
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: Other than that, I said it kind of jokingly. I

578
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: do think there's a world where your last pick is

579
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: the rat Rory Atkins, or you pick him up off

580
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: the wave of wire and he surprises you for at

581
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: least a few weeks.

582
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: Because there's a.

583
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: Dan Houston size hole down in Port Adelaide and it's

584
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: got Rory Atkins name all over.

585
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: It was taking kick ins at training the other day

586
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: when I was having a look. I know it's very early,

587
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: Caine Farrell was not training. I'm growing higher on Caine

588
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: Farrell the more I look at that Port defensive line though.

589
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: You know there's a big hole there. Steve, before you

590
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: tell us your sleeper, what are your thoughts on how

591
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: that shakes out at Port Adelaide, Because you know, as

592
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: you said, you've got Dan Houston so high he was

593
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: mopping up a lot of points in that defensive line

594
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: for Port.

595
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great point, and I think Kane Farrell's

596
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: the obvious choice, which is weird because I've sort of

597
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: suggested he was a good shout all along this preseason.

598
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: Lek has him higher in his ranks than I do,

599
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 3: but I still think it's the it's the right area

600
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: to be looking, whether you want to look at Bergman

601
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: or Farrell or someone else. Even that's absolutely a spot

602
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 3: where I think drafters should be taking a look late

603
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: in drafts if you want to go. I mean, Perriman's

604
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: probably someone we haven't mentioned to, you know, could absolutely

605
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: get into that top thirty range. Probably a real sleeper.

606
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: I know he's starting to get a little bit of

607
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: heat in the salary cap world, is Sam de coning?

608
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: If he does assume that rock roll, it should be

609
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: good point scoring. I don't think you could be confident,

610
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: but it's the sort of thing you can do late

611
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: in the drafts where the pick doesn't maybe mean as

612
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: much if you have to throw the player back into

613
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: the pool.

614
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Awesome thanks Stevie Fizz. Well, you can check out Lekdog's

615
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: top one hundred ranks and plenty of other great articles
