From AFL twitter: "Pending AFL approval, six clubs will have picks in pre-season draft on 13 Dec: GWS, WB, Rich, GC, Port, Freo. Order to be confirmed next wk. "

The PSD order is most likely:

1. GWS
2. GC
3. Port - Leon Davis?
4. Rich - John McCarthy?
5. Freo - Zac Dawson
6. WB

Fev to the Dogs makes sense with Barry Hall retired. Lovett is the other one who may or may not get picked up. Will Sheedy give him a third chance as one of his former players?

McCarthy is going to need to put a price on his head to ensure hie gets to Richmond me thinks

Caro is saying in this mornings Age that although Port want to take Davis they can't offer him more than $200k because of thier money woes so they will look to McCarthy

So in other words we got rid of the goo, may not replace him with who the club wants? And be left to give davis a take it or leave it offer of cold pizza and a #46 guernsy?

I think Davis may end up clubless
Port will snare mccarthy

The other way he could put port off is to ask for a one year contract only.

I'd be very surprised if they picked an unwilling, mature player from interstate anyways.

Is McCarthy worth more than a rookie wage at the moment? He has done little to fill me will hope that he will become a star. Collingwood are the most capable identifers and developers of talent in the country yet they delisted him. He may be a servicable depth player but paying him overs in fear of losing his to another club may be a little premature. $200 grand is still under the average but I would not feel comfortable if his asking price started pushing into the 'good' player range when he has not earned it to date. :-\

Stripes you are making the assumption he was de-listed because of talent or lack there of. Not sure this exactly the case here

Every team had to cut 3 players at a minimum, some had to cut more because salary cap pressures.

Pies were one of those teams. Only reason Mcaffer got another contract is because Davis got the sulks up because he wanted more $$$ and walked. The Pies always said that either McCarthy or Mccaffer had to go they could keep both so I am not sure it's all about talent in this case

Also if he puts an price on his head all he is really doing is setting the terms to ensure he gets to the club of his choice. If say he says 2 year deal for $320k in total he can then he can say year one he wants $210k and in year 2 he takes $110k - still paying below the odds but keeps Port away

I hear what you are saying WP but I haven't seen anything from his form to warrant us being devistated if we miss out on him. Perhaps I just haven't seen enough of him full stop. I will be more than happy to get him if he comes cheap. My fear is that he won't and its then I start to see a problem. Front ending his contract doesn't always work unless Port is hamstrung with their Salary Cap next year. Surely with Cornes and Brogan gone that would leave more financial flexibility at the club.

Interesting how it all works  ;D

From today's Herald-Sun....

Hardwick, entering his third season in charge of the Tigers, revealed the club had committed to selecting axed Collingwood utility John McCarthy at this month's pre-season draft.

But the plan will depend on Port Adelaide, likely to swoop if a deal cannot be struck with another former Magpie, Leon Davis.

"We've committed to John at this stage, but we're not quite sure what Port Adelaide are doing," Hardwick said.

"He's a guy who can give us great flexibility - he can play forward, midfield and a little bit down back.

"He probably didn't get the opportunities at Collingwood because of their depth. But he can play the game."

Pre-Season Draft nominations:

Leon Davis joined ex-St Kilda defender Zac Dawson, Tom Collier (Brisbane Lions), Anthony Long (Essendon), and former Magpies teammates John McCarthy and Trent Stubbs in lodging nomination forms before Tuesday's 2pm deadline. 

The Giants also had the right to list any previously listed player who nominated and was overlooked in November's NAB AFL Draft before Tuesday's deadline, but chose not to.

That group of players, which includes former Carlton and Brisbane Lions full forward Brendan Fevola and ex-Bomber Andrew Lovett, remain in the pool for the pre-season and rookie drafts.

Power moves on Roo Gavin Urquhart
Caroline Wilson
December 7, 2011


ALL-AUSTRALIAN defender Leon Davis appears to have taken a massive gamble and lost, with Port Adelaide looking increasingly determined to sign delisted Kangaroo Gavin Urquhart in next week's pre-season draft.

Plotting a move that will cost cash-strapped Port next to nothing in its salary cap, Urquhart was expected to audition today for his potential new AFL home at Alberton after travelling to Adelaide last night.

But North is committed to paying the majority of Urquhart's $300,000-plus contract next year because he remains contracted to the Kangaroos after the club delisted him when it could not find him a new home during the trade period.

The club has agreed to redraft Urquhart as a rookie if he is not picked up earlier in the drafts (national or rookie). Now the club could be committed to paying the defender as much as $250,000 as Port is required to pay him only the minimum wage.

Coach Brad Scott appeared to lose faith in the once-promising 23-year-old Queenslander, who has one year to run on a three-year contract. He has continued to train with North.

The Port move would spell good news for Richmond, which has itself committed to delisted Magpie John McCarthy should Port - which has a pick before the Tigers - not take him.

McCarthy did not travel with Richmond to its Arizona training camp.

The Tigers had looked closely at Urquhart during last year's trade period.


North delisted Urquhart because it wanted to accommodate Hawk recruit Will Sierakowski and a further two draft selections, at picks 18 and 40. Port Adelaide, while not facing salary-cap problems, remains in dire financial straits and is facing 2012 without two major sponsors.

A skilled running defender, Urquhart has managed just 41

games with the Kangaroos after being taken at pick No. 21 in the 2006 national draft.

He managed just one game in 2011 as a substitute, the second of a generous three-year deal struck before Scott's arrival at the club with the impending threat of the Gold Coast.

Davis now looks certain to have ended his AFL career and learnt yesterday that one of his preferred WAFL homes, Swan Districts, would not take him because of the cost to that club's salary cap points. The club also has financial issues.

Davis quit Collingwood after receiving his second All-Australian selection in three years after the Magpies asked him to accept a contract estimated at $250,000 - understood to be a $100,000 decrease. He quit, citing a preference to live in his home state of Western Australia but also entertained a move to his wife's home state of South Australia.

None of the four AFL clubs in those two states have shown any serious interest in Davis, who will look at offers from West Perth, Peel Thunder and his original WAFL club Perth.

Port Adelaide is understood to now be eying delisted North Melbourne defender Gavin Urquhart with its pre-season selection.

The Power could also draft another former Kangaroos player, Ed Lower, or former Adelaide Crows and Carlton midfielder Darren Pfeiffer, who are training at Alberton on Wednesday.

From today's Adelaide Advertiser...

LEON Davis out, Gavin Urquhart in.

Port Adelaide has officially ruled itself out of the running for dual All-Australian Davis and is zeroing in on another playmaking defender - former Kangaroos player Urquhart.

Urquhart joined fellow delisted AFL players Ed Lower and Darren Pfeiffer in training with the Power yesterday and has emerged as the frontrunner to be selected with the club's sole pre-season draft selection (No. 3 overall) on Tuesday. "Gavin fits into what we are looking for," Port national recruiting manager Geoff Parker said.

"He's got some AFL experience, a strong body and skills we are looking for, so he's definitely one of the players we'll be talking about."

Urquhart, 23, will spend the rest of the week training at Port before flying back to Melbourne tomorrow afternoon. He played 41 games for the Kangaroos after being selected from QAFL club Morningside at pick 21 in the 2006 national draft.

The highly-skilled defender/midfielder was delisted at the end of the season and could come cheap for the Power.

Urquhart was delisted while still under contract, leaving North to pick up most of Urquhart's $300,000 contract next season.

The Roos have committed to picking up Urquhart in Tuesday's rookie draft if another club doesn't select him first. Parker said the fact Port could get Urquhart cheap would "not be a main factor" in a decision to draft him.

"It would be a strictly footy decision," he said.

Former North Melbourne onballer Lower and ex-Crow and Blue Pfeiffer also remain in the Power's sights but former Collingwood midfielder John McCarthy is increasingly likely to join Richmond.

He has been interviewed and medically tested by Port but is training with the Tigers and has made no secret of his desire to play at Punt Road.

Power leaves door open for Tigers

    by: Zac Milbank and Andrew Capel
    From: The Advertiser
    December 09, 2011


PORT Adelaide will almost certainly let John McCarthy slip through to Richmond in Tuesday's pre-season draft.

The former Collingwood midfielder, who has been training with the Tigers for the past month, has signalled his preference to stay in Victoria rather than relocate to Adelaide.

"He's been training with Richmond and that's where he hopes he can play his footy for the next few years," McCarthy's manager Ned Guy said. "He sees some good opportunities there."

And it appears the Power - which flew McCarthy to Alberton for a medical check - won't use its opportunity to trump Richmond by selecting the 22-year-old.

Port was yesterday handed pick No. 8 in the pre-season draft before Richmond at No. 9, giving it the chance to snap McCarthy up before the Tigers can pounce.

But Port recruiting manager Geoff Parker is more likely to call the name of former North Melbourne defender Gavin Urquhart.

"From a recruiting point of view, John's a little bit different than the others because he wants to stay in Melbourne and Richmond has committed to him," said Parker, who will also be armed with picks 3, 21 and 39 in the rookie draft.

"We pick before Richmond so technically we can pick him but the question is whether you want to pick a player whose preference is to be somewhere else."

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick last week confirmed the Tigers will take the ex-Magpie, who has managed 18 AFL matches in four seasons.

"We've committed to John at this stage, but we're not quite sure what Port Adelaide are doing," Hardwick said.

"He's a guy who can give us great flexibility - he can play forward, midfield and a little bit down back.

"He probably didn't get the opportunities at Collingwood because of their depth. But he can play the game."

Greater Western Sydney has the first six picks of the pre-season draft but is unlikely to use them all, causing the other five clubs to shuffle up the order.

Gold Coast, which has pick No. 7, is likely to select former St Kilda midfielder Andrew McQualter, who has been training with the Suns for the past week. This leaves Port to snare Urquhart before Richmond snares McCarthy.

Fremantle will then select former Saints full back Zac Dawson, who will again link up with new Dockers' coach Ross Lyon.

The Western Bulldogs will pick last in the pre-season draft after making room for a selection with the late delisting of Jayden Schofield. The Dogs could choose one of three players it has invited to pre-season training in former Carlton defender Mark Austin, ex-West Coast utility Jordan Jones and Queenslander Matt Jones.

Urquhart has gained permission to train now with Port. So the media reports appear on the money about him heading to Port in the PSD leaving McCarthy to slip through to us.

"Permission to train.
Crows; Josh Gregg (N Adelaide), Ed Smart (Norwood).
Demons; Shannon Burnett (S Fremantle).
Power; Gavin Urquhart (Nth Melb)"

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick last week confirmed the Tigers will take the ex-Magpie, who has managed 18 AFL matches in four seasons.

"We've committed to John at this stage, but we're not quite sure what Port Adelaide are doing," Hardwick said.

"He's a guy who can give us great flexibility - he can play forward, midfield and a little bit down back.

"He probably didn't get the opportunities at Collingwood because of their depth. But he can play the game."


I'm not necessarily a fan of this choice, and while I like Dimma and what he's doing, every coach talks up their new players.  I'm not putting much weight into this comment.

But to throw a grenade into this conversation, why aren't we looking at Leon Davis?  PSD draft picks that are any good from "unknown" or fringe players like McCarthy are pretty rare.  Leon, if he wanted to play for Richmond, would give us two years of good play.  McCarthy might give us 5-10 years but probably won't, odds on he will be gone after 2 years too.  I know its Cigar Butt recruiting and we are developing a young list etc etc. 

None the less footy is about playing the odds and the recruiters ought to consider this.
I'm not decided on this one myself and I don't know if Leon would want to play at the Tiges, but clearly he is the better odds option than McCarthy. 

All Australian players don't pop up in the PSD that often.

Cost doesn't have anything to do with it. If we were interested in him then we'd get him. Davis is 30 odd and we don't exactly lack half back flankers. he'd be good for a year or two but we're developing our own pretty well these days :thumbsup

I'm with Davey I dont think money comes into it.  If anything having a better player for two years might push us into finals which would pay for itself.

As I said its Cigar Butt recruiting but the PSD is notorious for not getting a good result unless you have a targeted existing player, David Cloke, Bachar Houli, Darren Gaspar.  Its rare to get a Chris Bond, someone who another club has discarded.

More than likely McCarthy is going to be a failure, I don't know the guy, I don't know how good he is but he is a discard and I have never heard of him influencing games in the past.  Usually this means he can't influence games, which could be for many reasons, physical, mental, injury who knows.  He will probably fail, Davis would be good, for a limited time.

Fully agree WP.  I wasn't saying cost was the reason for not picking him up, just referring to '65s post in that it would be the cost against our salary cap rather than the cost itself.  I am not a fan of taking Davis at all.

Been making slow improvement since she came as a rookie and will just get better with age and experience. Hasn't played 50 games yet. Needs to improve but eff can Beefcake play when confident!
Great kick for goal and is capable of taking strong grabs when on song. Will need to perform and will come through for us. people are forgetting that not everyone can debut right away and perform like Kruz. Benny Gale was a spud as a kid in Tassie.

Also one of the best tackling ruckman in the game if not the best is Bake

Here's the Inside Football spiel....

Brett O'HANLON (Dandenong Stingrays)
DOB: 17/7/93. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium forward.

"It was Brett's first year in our program this year and he really developed after coming in and training with us at the end of 2010. Topped our goalkicking and won our most improved and that was mainly because he worked on his aerobic capacity and that allowed him to get up and down the ground a lot better. Played mainly as a hit-up forward after starting at full forward and boasts a booming and accurate kick on him anywhere from 40 to 60 metres. I think he's a bona fide forward but could push up the ground a bit a as a high half forward." - Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Richmond has taken talented teenage forward Brett O’Hanlon with its selection in the 2011 AFL pre-season draft held this morning (Tuesday, December 13).

The Tigers, who had pick nine overall, of the 11 selections on offer, opted for the 18-year-old from TAC Cup team Dandenong Stingrays.

O’Hanlon, 189cm and 87kg, had an excellent season, impacting strongly for Dandenong as a medium-sized forward and forcing his way into the Vic Country team at the under-18 national championships.

“Brett is a lead-up forward, who is a strong contested mark and a penetrating left-foot kick. He’s a competitive player, who will always give you a contest and tackle with intent.  And, he’s also a smart player, who reads the ball well and makes good decisions once in possession,” said Richmond’s recruiting manager Francis Jackson.

“We are pleased to add Brett to the playing group and feel that, although he is early in his development phase, he has the scope to become a quality AFL player.”

Perfect 3rd tall type in theory, will hopefully step up and fill the void. I'm a big fan of a quality mid sized fwd, they can help turn games. They can play high HF which opens up the fwd line and if he looks a handful for his opponent(as they are usually on the 3rd or 4th best defender) you can throw them at FF which then forces opposition teams to gamble with the dilemma of taking their best defender off reiwoldt. Goof fwd lines have options.

Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats said O'Hanlon would get the most interest due to his improvements in kicking and fitness over the past season.

"We are confident that of all kids he'll get a rookie spot," Yeats said. "O'Hanlon genuinely showed a lot of improvement last year. He actually won our most improved player award.

"He has good hands and kicks incredibly well, but he is that in-between height of 188-189 centimetres, which doesn't always appeal to clubs."

O’Hanlon’s goal
By Tony Greenberg
richmondfc.com.au
5:24 PM Thu 15 Dec, 2011



“I want to be competitive and I’m determined to do well.  I’ll try and break into the (Richmond) team and, if not, I just want to have an impact around the Club,” O’Hanlon said.

“I’d like to play (for Richmond), but if it doesn’t happen, you can always play well at Coburg and just have an impact around the guys, even at weight sessions, or training.”

O’Hanlon was delighted when Richmond Recruiting Manager, Francis Jackson, read his name out at pick nine overall in Tuesday’s pre-season draft, after he was overlooked in the November National Draft.

“I’m rapt for the opportunity.  I got the call from Francis about half an hour before the pre-season draft and he said he was 99% sure he was going to take me with the No. 9 pick,” he said.

“I had high hopes for the National Draft and it was disappointing (to miss out), but you’ve got to move along quickly and there are always more opportunities out there.  I thought I was a big chance for the rookie draft, but I was rapt to go in the pre-season . . .”

All the best to Brett in his debut AFL game  :clapping

---------------------------------------------------------

Teenage forward Brett O’Hanlon will make his AFL debut with Richmond in Saturday’s Round 11 clash with Fremantle at the MCG.

O’Hanlon has won his call-up to Richmond’s senior side following a series of impressive performances at VFL level with Coburg.

The 189cm, 87kg, 18-year-old was taken by the Tigers with their pick in the 2011 pre-season draft after impacting strongly for TAC Cup team Dandenong Stingrays throughout last year, and earning selection for the Vic Country team at the under-18 national championships.

He is a lead-up, medium-sized forward, renowned for his marking ability, penetrating left-foot kicking, decision-making, and defensive pressure.

Went to a function where I got to sit with him and have a chat after he was first drafted. You always forget how young these kids are. The footage they showed of him was magnificent. He fits Dimma's mantra and is a beautiful kick of the football, takes a nice grab and is a good mover. Just needs to beef up of course. I would imagine he would play as the sub and have him linking up in space when the game opens up later.

Top kid  :thumbsup

disagree thought maric okay but a totally different type to ohanlon.

brett should be getting games as a medium forward who can mark.

if iyo he showed maric up he sure as hell would have showed vickery up and in the wet would have been a better option.

rance was shown up today. as was houli and jackson got a bit of ball but both  were  terrible.
nahas very ordinary. deledio got towelled but he had probably the inform tagger in the comp on him.
martin was ordinary. vickery lol nothing changes there and i know it was wet but the fumbles continued with batchelor.

Agree with all that. Why didn't they have a short-behind as sub and start O'Hanlon on the flank at the beginning :huh He did well when he came on and there is no way he should be dropped next week - had 8 disposals in 20 mins of footy.

... when O’Hanlon received his opportunity late in the game, he didn’t let anyone down.  He had six kicks, two handballs and took two marks in the soggy conditions, in his limited game time, to underline the potential that caught the eye of the Tigers in the first place.

Richmond has been granted permission by the AFL for promising youngster Brett O’Hanlon to play with Coburg in the VFL next Sunday (June 24).

Clubs going into the mid-year bye need that official consent for certain players to drop back to VFL level.

The Tigers were keen for O’Hanlon, who spent his first two games of AFL football as the team’s substitute, to play a full match.

and why would the club not give him some decent game time especially against gws. may only be minor things but theres a lot of minor things they dont seem to be getting right.
whats the point of bringing a young fella in if all he does is sit on the pine. yet dan connors another medium forward can come straight in and get a whole game ffs.

I guess he could be included as more of a learning experience in regard to how players prepare, bigger crowds (GWS game excepted) and what is expected pre game. He may not have got much game time but the experience would have been of great benefit anyway.

nope im just one of thousand of nuffers who uses just a bit of common sense every now and then.

why did connors start and ohanlon who had 8 good possesions as a sub in about 20 minutes of footy the week before have to be the sub again. both ohanlon and connors were played as medium sized forwards.
you dont need me to point this out its there for you to see by their actions.
development went out the window again. they played a 6th yr player who has battled all sorts of things and is on about his 5th chance over a young player again stifling that young players development to the point he has to go back to coburg to get some touch.

they have it wrong. we wont make finals, and if we do   i certainly dont want to make finals at the cost of development. we have been there done that so many times for the last 26 yrs.

So you're just going off common sense? That is quite a surprise. Disappointed there is no spreadsheets. Not even a napkin with some notes? You could scan it.

Have been told that O'Hanlon's development is far above expectation, few outside the club also surprised this PSD pick is coming on so quickly. Some recruiters thought he'd be a year or two away from getting senior games.

Credit to him to have had gave time as it is. When FJ was speaking to Roar Vision about our trade period, he said O'Hanlon was a long term project. I'm sure the coaches would have gone through his game at AFL and now he takes the lessons back to the VFL to work on it. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll work his way into a full time seniors spot in time  :thumbsup

but even if he displaced maric, at this point he would probably still be sub. there comes a point where full games at coburg are better than part games at senior level.

his time will come, id reckon.

good to see some others annoyed at ohanlon being dropped.  was starting to think i was the only one.

why rsh king back at all 3 times in 12 months hes had the injury and hes back after just 3 weeks. to me ohanlon is the future deserves decent game time. kingy at most  other clubs would be a list clogger yet we play him over the need to get vgames into a kid.
to me this is one area we have got wrong this yr.

those bitching about maric well i dont have a problem with them giving him the rest of the yr and we get a damn good look at him and can make a decent decision on him at the end of the yr.just my opinion but i reckon he can be an actual upgrade on both king and nahas only one way to find out.

I thought O'Hanlon did some nice things once he was subbed on. First time at AFL level he looked to be finding his feet out there and coping with the tempo. Racking up 14 disposals, 5 marks, 4 In50s and a goal in 2.5 qtrs isn't a bad effort for a first year player out of the PSD. If he had kicked straight (not robinson crusoe there) it would've been a very good cameo on the bench.

One or two were nice strong marks with opposition too.

Could be a very handy acquisition. In between size and will be hard to match up on.

a young psd pick we were hopefully going to rookie. i say this because john mccarthy was aour psd target.when port took john mccarthy we took ohanlon.
for such a late pick the equivalent of  what ? 100 in the nd  hes done more than enough id say.
real good size and skills look to be pretty decent as well.

The guy is a keeper.  Beautiful kick for goal but last nights swirling conditions played havoc with almost all players set shots.  Loved his after the siren long goal against Freo.  Did the exact thing time and time again in his juniors highlight reel.  Once he puts size on, he will become a formidable player to contend with.  All this for a PSD choice!  Wow!!!

plenty to like & with another preseason think he could push for more game time next year...good to see a kid come in & try to grab his chance - didn't seem overawed (although we were playin against poop)....

what's his best position for us next year do you think?  with that left boot I think he could be a good "swing man" either off halfback or half forward

Assessment: Retain - as a first year player needs another year to see if can improve, but will need to work hard to retain spot next year. At present hard to see what potential he has

O’Hanlon has been focused on a couple of key physical aspects in preparation for his second season at the game’s highest level . . .

“I’ve been trying to put on some size.  You need to put on some size playing against men,” the 19-year-old said.

“Speed is another definite one (focus area) . . . change of speed.”

dont think robbie will be nervous about ohanlon. its likely we will go with one of ohanlon, a edwards,  petterd.
nahas imo is fighting with king, s edwards, and mathew mcdonough for a spot.  from what ive seen on talent alone mcdonough is a mile in front of them all. two will play two will miss out and we will only play two if one can be a damn decent part of rotations.

Gotta work both ways. He didn't do that last season and hopefully has been told that in no uncertain terms.
Should model his game on O'Keefe.

VIDEO: Chocco gives us his review on another young cub, Brett O'Hanlon

‘Coachable’ O’Hanlon takes giant strides
By richmondfc.com.au
Wednesday, March 20, 2013


Richmond development coach Mark Williams rates second-year Tiger Brett O’Hanlon as the most coachable of the young players at the Club.

“He wants to do everything right, and we’ll continually acknowledge that.  But, at the same time, we’ll encourage him to take more chances,” Williams said.

“Brett’s too quiet.  He’s a great guy and I really enjoy his company.  But he’s a little bit introverted and, those who know me, know I’m a little bit more the other way.  Hopefully, a bit of my DNA drops off on him.

O'Hanlon needs to get a more cutting edge to his game. Paly harder, tackle harder and compete harder.

Whilst McGuane is doing all of the above and kicking a few goals he might be keeping a few of the younger boys like O'Hanlon out of the side.

Ultimately, the harder they have to work and the more consistent their performance has to be to get a game, the better off the club will be.

If you look back to that recent golden era of aussie cricket, besides being blessed with some outright champions, the blokes at shield level just had to keep performing, sometimes over many years, before they got a chance. this sorted out the one hit wonders from those that had what it takes for sustained success.

I agree WP. Nahas was terrible. A sub MUST have an instant impact IMO. Sitting on the bench twiddling his thumbs should be busting a nut to come on and show the world he's more than just a bench warmer. Nanas came on an dropped a sitter and had no impact at all.

I agree on knights too. 
Secret weapon is Knights.

Yeah but that's the way clubs are using the sub this year; in the last 20 minutes

He didnt have a great pre-season and was perhaps lucky to have played rd 1, would have thought at least encouraging your team mates would have been a better look than sitting there looking like you'd rather be at home playing Nintendo (does Nintendo still exist  ;D)

Deserved a free kick, held it for a while until his arm was chopped. No issue with his body language, if he was jumping about and pointing you'd all be complaining Reiwoldt had changed his behaviour. The bloke was the sub and would've been told whether to warm up or not

Brett O’Hanlon in focus
richmondfc.com.au 
October 22, 2013


Tim Clarke says:

“He’s a very good player, but his range of movement was limited because of the [ankle] injury he carried throughout the year.

“He had an operation in the last few weeks to get that fixed.

... I think we’ll settle with him as that third or fourth forward, who can play a key-position role, and also come up the ground.”

Good to see you refused to answer my first question about whether you were there or not  ::)

Obviously you are seduced by stats.. Read what I wrote for me it's not about quantity but the quality.

Personally I don't buy into the number of touches I am more interested in what you do with them. Shaun Grigg is the best example we have that proves the number of touches mean very little

Have to play next week

But he had 24 touches so as I said he most likely a lock now  ;D

Have to play next week
Surely you jest
I was there also, he went OK but !!

Todd Elton is the one 4 me, couple of strong grabs early, admittedly faded but is worth a shot I reckon
I'd put in Elton for Vickery as I see more upside in Elton. But I can't see it happening…..

Was skinny obviously when he started at the club.  Now has a great frame. Needs to learn to run to dangerous places more often and also to lift his defensive intensity.  If he can do that we have a player.

A long term replacement for a bloke who isn't even in the 22. A replacement for a guy who has played a handful of games for Richmond. Your mail is ass bro.

And why do you care what "Timmy" says? You wanted him sacked after round 1.

TBH Magic, he's hardly had any chances in the seniors.  Played well on Sunday.  Previously had been playing in that developmental black hole called Coburg.  I think if he is played in the seniors he should at least have a decent run.  We all know if you are picked as a HFF or pocket player you need the ball kicked to you a reasonable number of times to be able to score.  Our mids have hardly dominated this year and when they've gone in they have looked for Jack most of the time.  It is really hard to have an impact if that is the case.  He needs to be given a decent chance as I think he may surprise many.  I know some opposition scouts that rate him only because of his size, strength and kicking ability.  Just needs to get the ball more.

Helbig in particular is very ordinary IMO but at least he tries and is hard at it, a younger Thomas but with pace (i.e. faster than treacle) ,  O'Hanlon at least has a hint of class but hasn't shown much overrall and is a bit slow... still... give 'em a go ahead of the established hacks who we know will never improve ....they're still young and at least provide a glimmer of hope....

It's not too late for him but if he gets another year you might as well put his name on the wrecking pile with the rest of them.

Made a blue kicking it to Cotchin in the centre when flanked by two opponents but hard to judge when he comes on as sub.

Needs to play a few more games to see whether he can make it but lamentably given the game style we play it is so hard to actually judge a flankers performance in real terms. :help
