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.

DJ Higgins

Higgins and Cerra/Brayshaw for me if available

DJ Higgins

7. Stephenson 8. Bonar 34. Worpel 45. L.Ryan That would be a poor outcome. 7 & 8 have realistic health concerns so are a gamble. Stephenson is poor at kicking in the field of play and bonar has had acl issues already. Better options will be available. 30 onwards is pot luck as fair as I am conc...

DJ Higgins

I am one of the few to put him out there but I like Noughton. I am not buying our new back row depth because Goddard is training again and Logan joined us for a handshake and a pack of chips. He is a Key defensive player, which we need especially if Carlisle or Brown cant play long term. I will be s...

DJ Higgins

I doubt we will get Cerra but you are right he looks good. Bonar has a few injuries already. I would prefer to get someone else who is uninjured Both have had injuries. Champion data on Cerra 7. ADAM CERRA (Eastern Ranges) 186cm midfielder Injuries in past two years the question mark. A ball winner...

DJ Higgins

Not a fan of Stephenson so I am hoping he is off the table before he gets to us. We have been burnt before with a draft pick having a preexisting condition i.e. Paddy. PLus he's filed kicking from what i have read isn't good. I prefer others

DJ Higgins

And who do we lose to fit one of these guys in. Only so many spots on the list. I don't know enough about these players but: - we got Logan as a defender so why get Collins as well. In saying that I would still draft Noughton if available but thats for another post. We have enough small forwards so...

DJ Higgins

More melts if its NOUGHTON. NOUGHTON???? The worst kick in the draft and since jason daniels he is an absolute spud. ZDawson yet dawson had a better kick If we get fing naughton I WILL NOT GET A MEMBERSHIP. DISGRACE!!!! Noughton has a loopy kicking style for sure that is easy to intercept but that ...

We are about to get our number 1 pick It may not be this year but 2019 with paddy, logan, goddard, long, battle, freeman and progression of the other youngsters we wont know ourselves. 50-100 games in all these young guns and they are guns. Much maligned and I dont know why?? Ffs people riding off ...

DJ Higgins

Ooo wouldnt say that. Logan has got it youll see the kid had a broken leg ffs. Before that he was first picked out of quite a few options. Hes had his year of rehab hopefully 2018 hes back. Same as goddard. WCE game goddard was good go and watch it. In a game where we suked badly he even kicked a n...

DJ Higgins

I may be on my own here but I hope we don't get Stephenson. From what I have seen and read he's kicking around the ground is bad. Spraying the ball a lot and not hitting targets. He is great in other areas for sure but I think there are better out there. Bonar sounds like a great inside midfielder b...

DJ Higgins

I was happy with Brown last year. Did exactly what he was hired to do so not sure why the negativity. As for Logan and Goddard taking his place I have not seen enough from them to think it will happen soon. Goddard really hasn't been brilliant before he was injured and he is slow. Logan was cheap as...

My thoughts exactly. Why didn't we get it done earlier, even rest him for the last game when finals were off the table and have surgery then ?

DJ Higgins

Bonar looks good but 2 acl injuries already is a bit of a concern. Can we take the gamble?

DJ Higgins

I would definitely get Aaron Naugton if he is still available. We still need another key defender. Geary is pushing 30 and brown has one maybe two years left in him. When they leave we are back in the same spot we are now. Logan is not great, he isn't and what has Goddard really shown. Not enough f...
