|
I was not a Massive Fan when he was Drafted but after 3 Games(I know Pre-Season) he is Growing on me.
Big Ball Winner,Good Speed, Great Feel of the Game and Good Size.
Could become Something and Reckon he could play AFL this year
He seems to get a lot of the Ball and gets in the Right Places.
Not the Best Kick but not Terrible either. Handballing is Damaging

Not a bad tank either 😉
Some “ experts “ did have him going in the twenties, so it’s not like he wasn’t rated or hidden away.
Hopefully, he goes on to be a bargain pick for us. |

If the kid is deemed good no reason why he can’t get a round one game
And why not Stevo did and proved a good decision
Likewise Sam Walsh at Carlton—- It can and does happen

Good call DTM
I wasn’t overly excited when we drafted him thought it was a speculation pick but wanted to see more
Like what I’ve seen
His a likely type just seems to be footy smart something you can’t rein into them
Reckon he will feature in the early rounds |

| Is it Rantall or Bianco who was captain of 2019's top two draft picks? |

Reckon he won't.
We all get excited at the sight of new talent in the Club but give the boy a chance. He's fresh out of Under 18's where he was good, but not a star. He will be given time to develop.
A few years ago the Club payed Peter Yagmoor (remember him?) before he was ready and he had such a terrible game, and was so out of his depth that his spirit and confidence were absolutely smashed by the experience. The Club struggled to rebuild his self-persona but to no avail and he was lost to the system.
Now, nobody was saying that Yagmoor was going to be a superstar but the lesson is well learned - youngsters will be played when they're ready, and not before. There will be no speculative selections. Stevo was a TAC Cup gun who was ready to play the day he was drafted.
On what I have seen this young man has got a fair way to go before he makes his debut. I'm not talking him down by any stretch. Just saying that enthusiasm needs to be bridled.

Bianco captained chargers where both Rowell and Anderson played.
Don’t read to much into who captains a TAC team because the TAC clubs tend to overlook the quality private school kids for captain because their APS footy commitments come first.
Rowell is close to best TAC pure mid fielder I have seen in a while. Will be a serious talent for many years to come.
Rantall was easily the Rebels best player in 2019 ( he won their B and F )
It’s just that they weren’t very good as a team. They don’t get many drafted compared to others but Appleby is also a former Rebel. |

Tend to agree here.
It’s also not a bad team he’s trying to break into. It’s not like he’s trying to cement a spot in the Suns best 22.
These days, with all the game scenarios, set plays and match sim drills that need to be perfected, anything less than genuine U18 standouts have a fair bit of “ blackboard learning “ before they play seniors. |

I think they may go the Josh Daicos route who was lightly exposed to AFL
Spent much of his time in the magoo,s but his Marsh form IMO is a direct result of not rushing him headlong into AFL

Rantall ain't quite Mark McGough with his kicking but definitely no Daicos.
