Re: FFC Welcomes Pick 20
Yeah the 2 of the South Australians, pick 29 & 58 are mates. Sheridan's a Vic Metro kid.

We may as well designate pick 20 to be the skinny tweener pick.
Fyfe, then Pitt, now Crozier.
He's 68 kilos.
He's not gonna do much..
I'm saying that at some point our drafting strategy should have looked at filling important positions with promising talls. Any time. We've had five goes at it. A future AA quality tall would have been great. Most good clubs can get one after five attempts.
But we have tried. Mourish, Shepperd, Houghton, Sibosado, Silvagni, Faulks, Dawson, Mitch Clarke, Anthony. Not to mention Murphy, Campbell and Polak who should be in their prime. Most have been failures. I'm not disagreeing with your sentiments that we need talls, but you aren't seeing the full picture.
I can see why maybe we could have gone with Darling or Kersten, but you make it sound like we have completely ignored drafting talls ... Which is clearly not the case when you look at the names above. I think with the benefit of hindsight, over the last few years the only realistic alternative we could have gone with is Hurley over Hill. But that still requires time to see what Hill might become.
Oh, last year's AA side KPP - 2 x F/S, and pick 11, 8, 5.
Thats because they can turn them into midfielders quite easily. Goal kicking midfielders are very highly sought after.Jeez, our recruiters/coaches love the 'high, hit-up forwards'. Every WAFL watch talks about players doing or needing to do this. And now we have more. Hopefully he can 'spread from the stoppages well'.
In the Age, they said Crozier has been learning to be a running back

Does anyone have any footage of when Hayden was interviewed on the footy show?
It'd be nice having Fyfe and Crozier taking hangers everywhere
I'm not sure if Ibbo will ever stop looking confused. It's his thing
Kersten? Oh wait, we don't like his 'attitude', something reigning premiers Geelong didn't seem to mind.
Other options:
Hurley instead of Hill
Butcher instead of Morabito.
I mean, you can argue Hill and Morabito have shown more so far, but when we have situations of putting Grover on the opposition's second tall, or bringing in a seriously unfit Faulks to play Collingwood - or having Mayne as our full forward - it says there's something seriously wrong with our key position depth.
Fair enough - though I think you pull the pin on the best talent at the time this early.
We have yet to see Morabito produce .....I am not unhappy with him on our list - his size and speed is going to be massive for us. Not sure I'd trade Mora for Butcher personally.
Hill - interesting isnt it? I hope Lyon can help him find himself again ....at the moment Hurley-Hill trade you would pull the trigger on.
Lucky we didn't have the number 1 pick - Watts I don't think I would give you any of our rated players for him.
Even though I'm carrying on about talls, I wouldn't do this trade. I love Hill too much, he is the talisman of our future. I'm biased but I wouldn't swap him for anyone. I know he isn't the best player in the AFL he just symbolises something to our team.

There's another picture of him taking a hang somewhere around the internet when he was 15. I can't remember where I saw it but apparently he's been taking screamers regularly since he took the game up.
