Emma Quayle's guide to the 2013 AFL draft (Age)

[Phil Mrakov]

just my 2 cents worth..
he has a build that's the opposite of tucky.
At this stage he  has a tendancy to barrel into his opponent,and sending him into orbit,whereas tucky's sole object was the ball.
Don't think hes as good as tucky overhead
I agree its early days for Arnott,but was just interested in how you coupled him with tucky that's all

Well Tuck retired and imo was best 22 and now I see Arnott taking his spot in it

[Diocletian]

Arnott has better skills than Tuck ever had. He's more of an enforcer than an extractor at this stage though.Throughout his career he's always been written off by people whenever he's been elevated to the next level but has always proven them wrong - one of those players who gets better the higher the standard of the competition he plays in.

arnot is a half forward flank in the senior team at the moment

as much as someone would like to see arnot played as a center or rover the coach clearly likes him off the forward line

was very much a defender as a junior, and taken as one who would hopefully transition into a mid. id describe him as a sml def/mid.   just because we may be playing and trying them in different roles it doesnt mean they are going to be any good in it.

Not from what i've been told.

"midfield and onball"

I suspect my source watches more Oakleigh games than you, my old chum.

good on your source old chum but i will stick with what i actually know.

[Judge Roughneck]

no disrespect intended.

so much angst over an average player who is a 25 to 30 (at best) player on our list

We need our 25-to-30 players on our list to be better than just average if we want to push up into the top 2-4 teams.

From what I saw of him in 2011 he was a mid/hff

[the claw]

i saw him once believe it or not and i wasnt paying much attention. yes he played some footy forward managed 8 goals played 20 games. he either didnt play much forward or hes a lousy forward.and that  includes goals he kicked while in the midfield.
when we took him  it was a mad scramble to find any thing about him as he was a real smokey id be surprised if anyone had him being taken outside of the rfc.

every bit of information and reports i can find on him he playerd and was talked about as a defender inside mid who wins contested ball. im not into he said i said type arguments im happy to concede i coulld be wrong having only seen him play once but i doubt every other source i looked at is.

if wrong i apologise to all its no big deal.
for now i will stick with my opinion on the matter until it can be shown otherwise.

Old clawsky is clearly wrong on this one.

I am trying spare his feeling.

[MintOnLamb]

Precisely how I see it, zac jones will be the get out of jail card

Plus he's a Ranga, shd fit in well, how many have we got now?
dan, vlas, Jack, Arnot, Elton, Morris, Conca, Hardwick any more?
Maybe get Ling in as an assistant coach

WTF is the draft on at night !? Andy D ruins footy again

no need to spare my feelings if im wrong i will admit it gladly. what are we debating here anyway. seems to me he played as a defender and a mid at oakley.
clearly we took him as a contested inside mid. id agree that that is what he is.
 i disagree with him being labelled a fwd. thats what quayle has labelled him. to me she is wrong.

No wonder you have only seen him play once claw. Have you been putting that suburb in your GPS and ending up at a sunglasses factory everytime?
