You're ignoring the Hine formula

  • bottom age
  • limited exposure to elite pathways due to injury/previous focus on his cor anglais career
  • does have an elite sporting background just in freestyle farnarkling
  • "most upside of anyone in the draft by far"
  • 70kg flanker type who could play almost anywhere on the ground as long as its the wing
Farnarkeling is akin to having a basketball background given what the sport entails:

Farnarkeling is a sport which began in Mesopotamia, which literally means ‘between the rivers’. This would put it somewhere in Victoria or New South Wales between the Murray and the Darling. The word Farnarkeling is Icelandic in structure, Urdu in metre and Celtic in the intimacy of its relationship between meaning and tone.

Farnarkeling is engaged in by two teams whose purpose is to arkle, and to prevent the other team from arkeling, using a flukem to propel a gonad through sets of posts situated at random around the periphery of a grommet. Arkeling is not permissible, however, from any position adjacent to the phlange (or leiderkrantz) or from within 15 yards of the wiffenwacker at the point where the shifting tube abuts the centre-line on either side of the 34 metre mark, measured from the valve at the back of the defending side’s transom-housing.
 
I think Scully is a good option if there at one of our 3rds too. Bottom aged.

Hell Hine has used selections on lesser impressive players who are short people before why not invest in a draft of talls...
He used pick 31 on McMahon, who didn’t have anything close to Scully’s resume.

Only because outside of Cox and Cameron we have 1 True KPF's
Lol, what do Cox and Cameron have to do with Reiwoldt and Darling?

Checkers would be playing as a KPF regardless though, even with 1 or even 2 other key talls in the side. He just wouldn’t be the main banana
 
He did for the 2010 team. Cloke, Reid (turned def) and Dawes. Were his KPF selections but Cloke was a free hit especially under then rules of the then fs selections.

So really Ben Reid has been the only high end pick that he spent a top 10 pick on KPF in Malthouses time.

Then D.Moore the next one again turned him into a defender.

He really has been loathe to invest in KPF talents high end of the draft.
He only loathed selecting key forwards during the Buckley era. The 2010-11 side was chock full of kpp that was mostly built off his drafting.

If Wright and Fly tell him to focus on key position talent he will.

In terms of draft investment as in top 10 pick on KPF, only Ben Reid has been selected by him prior to Moore.
Brown as KPD @10 being the other KPP top 10.

Every other selection has been later draft, fs concession TClo, rookie draft, mid season draft, international rookie.

TCloke was like Nick Daicos and talked about years before his drafting he was a no brainer that we got to use a later selection on.

Similarly with Moore but without the concession.

Cloke fell into our lap which lessened the need to find key forward through top 10 picks but that doesn’t mean Hine didn’t like selecting them. The 2006 draft he picked key position players with his first three picks and that doesn’t happen from someone who loathes selecting them.

He had a total of 5 top ten picks under Malthouse two of them being key positions players one of them being a key forward. His reluctance to pick KPP is a Buckley era thing not a Hine thing overall.

This, sir, was a joy to read!

He's been in the role for 18 years I think your being a bit one eyed blinded here.

If Buckley didn't rate them he wouldn't of offered Lynch 1.2 million.
The head coach has more say in trade targets then they do the draft which falls back on Hine.

He's been in the role under 3 head coaches, 2 coaches for 17 years. One of those coaches he drafted key forwards for the other he didn't. Whether he drafts key forwards for Fly remains to be seen but its reasonable to assume his drafting style will change to suit his new footy boss and coach as it did the previous time. Think youre the one blinded here.

We offered 1.2 million to Lynch because Buckley didn't rate any key forward that wasn't athletic enough. Very few fit under his criteria in his vision for a mobile forwardline.

Scully a lumberer in comparison

Takes half an hour to get up the race

He's so slow (how slow is he?) he went for a jog and got overtaken by the Salvation Army marching band

Well.. Riley has great speed, as a small forward if that counts lol

If there’s no bid, or a late bid on Riley, I think we’ll take the punt. A small forward with pace would be a list need.

I think Ashwin might struggle, particularly if we retain Wilson as as Cat B.

Wait until you see his son. He's going to be talked about pretty soon.
 
12 and already his dad's height and built like an 18 year old.
Pretty sure you’ve got your wires crossed there. Travs first child was born in 2017, and I’m 90% sure it was a girl.
