More a forward than a mid, 5 cm taller than Gresham. Try again Ramps.
Did you notice the  expressions on their faces?
Gresham - cool calm & collected.
Ah Chee - Doh !

Interesting stats from that game too, Ah Chee only beat Gresham on 1 stat that day.

Clangers!

I actually like some of what I've seen of Ah Chee, just not sold for pick 12.

I agree he would be a slight overreach at 12 but if we go the small forward option, as we've hinted we might, he'll be the best available.

Apparently Tom Lynch and a few others have used our facilties for rehab too.....so it probably means nothing....also noticed that particular poster posted a lot of b.s. rumours in the trade thread over there as well and is generally regarded as a troll...

Callum Twomey's latest on the draft:

http://www.afl.com.au/draft/road-to-the-draft


* No idea yet about the Tiges this year. It isn't clear cut unlike last year when they wanted midfield class and got Corey Ellis.

* Clayton Oliver spent time with their VFL team and they are looking at him but he is likely to be gone before their pick 12.

* Or do they go for Ryan Burton - talented but has a question or two. Broke his leg and shattered his knee in a school game in August last year. Hasn't played since. Tested at the combine though and ran as well as he could. Confident kid and backs himself. Burton told Twomey a week or so ago that he would've been classed as the best kid in the draft if he hadn't injured himself. Recruiters like the kids with a bit of spark. He's a sporty kid and has it all. Wants to play round 1 next year.

* Or do they go for Jade Gresham - small midfielder who may turn into a small forward initially.

* On the draft depth itself:
   - First 10-12 kids - really good and confident they will make it.
   - Next group up to 25 - pretty sure will be decent AFL players including a few untapped stars.
   - Next 15 has a couple more good players.
   - After pick 45 - it's a wait and see.

;D

I like this kid!  A bit of spunk!  Could be the next Nat Fyfe but also could be the next injured soul never able to play AFL consistently because of the injury.

The ultimate boom or bust.

Thoughts?

Kid looks like he can play & no shortage of confidence but will those inner demons be there to cast doubt over the stability of that knee?
Twomey mentions Oliver Gresham & Burton as candidates for our 1st.
If FJ has his eye on another who he thinks is better than those boys we should be alright .
