Knobel about to walk from Saints

[EMJ]

Should we try and get him in the Pre Season Draft?
Is he any good - story in the age

Let him walk - all the way over to Victoria Park. We've already played our ruck card.

0 possessions in the final against us - rather stick with Doyle

I rather us draft a young ruckman in the draft - Chris Egan comes to mind.

Him and Ericksen to develop, Jolly, Ball and Doyle to use in the seniors

Except that he is a tall aboriginal flanker in the mould of Mickey O rather than a ruckman

Having said that he sounds pretty good and i certainly wouldn't mind if we pickled him up

Chris Egan
Details:
Club: Rumbalara/Murray
DOB: 26 October 1986 Hgt: 187cm Wgt: 78kg
Position: Onballer/Half Forward Flank
Natural Foot: Right
Honours:
Victoria Country 2004
National Draft Camp 2004
TAC Stats:
2003: 19 games, 28 goals, 14.6 PPG
2004: 14 games, 11 goals, 18.4 PPG

Strengths: Egan is a half-forward flanker with silky skills, extremely clean hands and the ability to do the amazing. He hardly ever fumbles, and he will use his long arms to pluck marks down that he has no right to.
Egan moves well through traffic, and is a booming kick. He can kick some truly special goals and his handballing has very good power. Chris has good speed and a tremendous vertical leap.

Weaknesses: Chris can make the impossible look easy, but often fail to do the basics. Queries over the defensive side of his game and discipline at this stage, and he can go missing for large stages of a game. Has also carried a few injuries in 2004.

Footydraft.com comment: Egan is one of the hardest players to place in the draft for mine. In terms of raw ability, he is probably in the top 10 in the draft pool. On his day he can be awesome. But when he is off, he is really off. Should go early, but he is no guarantee to make it.

*Slaps head*

I mean Earl Shaw

If thats wrong the NSW ruckman everyone was talking about during the National Championships

[caj23]

Earl Shaw is correct

[Snowy]

Egan very promising but said to have a flaky personality.

[floppinab]

come on you're all thinking it..........

Sounds a lot like the assessments of another aboriginal footballer who went high in the draft a few years back.......................................
