Don't know if McKenzie will be a defender in the long term, and Newnes has played on the wing quite a bit recently. So that leaves 5 players for 3 spots, which is just about right. Maybe but we still have no outside mids which is what we desperately need which was the whole point of this draft. Who...

This logic is also why I'm really really pissed-off that we didn't get Bonar. He ticks all the boxes. Fast, powerful, taller than most mids, inside/outside player, fearless, determined, can take a strong mark. We're gonna' regret passing on him, unfortunately. :([/quote] its all hypothetical now but...

DJ Higgins

He looks like he has skills but our major flaw is not enough class and pace in the midfield. And we didn't fix that tonight. We have players that may eventually move into the mid field but what do we do until then? Seriously disappointed after tonight. Regardless of how people spin it we got 4 defe...

I'm loathe to criticize the club so who reckons we f***ed up? No. We did well with what we had. Our problem is that we did not finish low enough to get the real cream. I would have loved our first two picks to have been what Freo gained. BUT you can only get what is available. I would have loved so...

this draft is disappointing for me. 3 half back flankers and one key back. WTF Could always pick up another couple of small forwards seeing as the two previous batches have been so good! :? :? How about an outside Mid. Jesus I am annoyed at our recruiters. I don't give a s@$t that the 3 HBF MAY pla...

He makes Goddard look quick

to be honest lots of variable at play now

Jack Petruccelle. He is lightning quick. Shame as we could have used his speed

Jack Petruccelle hopefully

DJ Higgins

As expected. Not exactly what I wanted but they are ours now so time to get behind them. Welcome boys

DJ Higgins

damn. Didn't want a half back

DJ Higgins

great news for Stephenson . Good luck kid

top 4 as expected. Just the order a little different

DJ Higgins

Brayshaw still on the table

nope there he goes to Freo

DJ Higgins

And probably not... Higgins - very very tough on the bloke I know, but he's just too small. Would end up another Lonie. (And yep, I know he's actually bigger than Lonie.) The trend is towards bigger, stronger mids, and that makes sense to me. Too small mate, really?? I know you can google short afl ...

DJ Higgins

Hunter Clarke is not for us. He is a half back flanker first and foremost. Yes he did play some tim ein the mid field but as an inside mid which we don't need, we have enough of those. Coffield is also a back who can develop into a midfielder. I.e. he is a back who can venture into the midfield not ...

8. Clark

Reasons
Carlton will pick Cerra they love him
North will pick D.Fogarty
Pies will pick Noughton, Coffield or Richards

I love your optimism but there is no way Dow is slipping down to 7. Brayshaw may even go as #1

DJ Higgins

Why Coffield? We have white, Newnes, Roberton, Rice, DMac and Savage all playing that role. Stephenson and Bonar. We can get Stephenson AND Bonar. 2 of the best players in draft with speed agility and xfactor FUN EXCITING win grand finals with. Big game players. Genuine class and xfactor is what we...

DJ Higgins

Still not sure that Coffield is the best option. He has a lot of pluses but he is an defender who runs off the half back flank. That is not our area of concern at present, we need a pure outside mid and either another outside mid or small forward who can actually score goals.
