Well he looks a hell of a lot better than RHYS MATHIESON and being compared to Scott Pendlebury can only be seen as a positive, for what comparisons are worth.

true, but, if they wanted someone who is expected to go around 20-30
they could keep the pick in that range
or trade someone out to get a pick around then
Spot on where was the trading to get another pick around 20-25
Are they honestly trying to tell us we were Yarran short of a flag?

We never trade for meaningful higher picks.....gives me the shytes....especially when we have an habitual overreacher like Hackson in charge....have a feeling he's going to leave us with another Conca pick as a parting gift....

Are people seriously calling Matheison a spud because of one youtube video that doesn't necessarily show him in the best light? Kids a gun and probably won't last till out pick. I know watching youtube makes people think they suddenly know everything about a prospect but even so.

Considering these videos are invariably put together to showcase the very best of a player and that was all they could come up with, I'd suggest it's a fairly reasonable conclusion.....

Not necessarily oh dark lord.
Most videos highlight the players performances at the state championships. There, they may have been carrying an injury or just plain did not have their best games. Case in point was Buddy who performed poorly in the state championships in the year of his draft (2004).
It is unusual for youtube to have vids of these players playing for their TAC Cup sides until they are loaded up by the recruiting staff after they are drafted. That is why we get better packages after they are recruited.

From 2 whole games of the champs. Oh boy must be his highlights package - which by the way the SA game and Vic Metro game looked pretty damn decent. Its not like he played last year AND made the AA under 18 or played a season with the Geelong falcons.

Nah lets base all our opinions of the first few minutes of a 4 minute youtube video

So we know who to blame foir drafting the same types with our first pick every year.....except Lennon....who Hardwick never plays anyway...

And nearly got rid of at 19 years old ...
What, when did we 'nearly' get rid of Lennon?  Stated clearly that we wanted to re-sign him & did ... where was the 'nearly'?

the problem is the vid is a "highlights" reel & it makes him look like a spud, have heard he's far better so if anyone has a better vid of him we'd all love to see it as it will no doubt change our opinion. just that if that's his best then it's a no from me

While I agree with the sentiment of not judging a player by a video (which this video wasn't necessarily a highlights video, was just a video of the times he touched the ball which probably gives a better indication of how a person plays) I don't see how you could come to the conclusion that his games against SA and Vic Metro looked pretty damn decent? They looked poor

He needs indigenous company. Thank goodness we have Yarran, Shed and Drummond to make him feel at home. Hopefully we will look at Davin Ferreira and Shane Yarran too. Maybe we should call this draft/trade period the indigenous round. ;D
