Except we didn’t, we had pick 3 and unless Brisbane win the flag again next year, we will have pick 35, so that’s two picks within 35.
Why make the cut of 35 in your post? Why not 38, is it because we had a pick at that number?
Interesting choice, Harrys profile reads pretty well, tied with Hannaford who i rated for the B&F which is solid and increased his output considerably from his bottom age year to his top age year.
I am surprised we went with a defender as i feel we have just locked in a few players who can play...
We have tried to address a few areas of need this draft and i hope we try and address our issues in the forward line, who’s a chance as a small forward or general forward in the rookie draft?
Im tipping we take one rookie and then add DGB and McMahon, i just hope the the rookie is a pacer forward.
NM may have had Whitlock as a top 15 prospect and think they have a bargain, GWS selected a kid ranked in the 80s with their pick around 23.
Just becsusre someone is picked at a number, doesn’t mean that’s where they are rated.
They probably could have got more but if they then pick the same...
This is why I’d love to see where clubs rate players, a poster here raised the idea of a draft time capsule where every club submits their rankings and it’s opened on draft night a year or two later.
Maybe North had Whitlock top 20
On Winder vs Burgiel
Both were cut relatively early with Burgiel taken in the 2nd round if i recall, were they cut due to off field issues and if so, which one is you had to choose, do you think has a better chance of sorting themselves out and making the grade?
I’d like to give McMahon a go...
I really hope its.
Pick 3
KPD
Ben
Lucas
Small forward
DGB/Mcmahon
Pick 3, Ben, Lucas and Lord last year are all midfield/running players, hopefully we balance these guys out with key defenders and small forwards.
Only going off another article, it mentioned Selwood was only able to be picked up as a SSP, i doubt we would be meeting or showing interest in players we were unable to select, but who knows.
I’m sorry but if Tom is offered that money, we shouldn’t be going near it, I hope there’s mostly truth to the reports that Cripps, Harry, Charlie and Weits all sacrificed cash for long term deals, those players are reportedly close to $1M.
To come out and offer a player who has less form and...
Every year i get seduced and i want to add experienced players to the rookie list that have been cut at other clubs, then every year other clubs get a steal in the rookie draft and i look back and wish we took more kids.
As long as we take 1-2 kids in the rookie draft, ill be happy.
I was more going down the angle of how does a player become universally rated and then struggle not only at AFL but VFL, I’m then going back and seeing in relation to Clark that he was never a big ball winner, so what made people think a mid who didn’t find much footy would transition to an...
Sorry to post a question not relevant to this post but I can’t be bothered going back the several pages to the quote.
I wanted to get your thoughts on your assessments of Jhye Clark in his draft year, I saw your assessments of a champs game where you stated that Clark was your favourite in the...
I’d really just like to see 4 on the bench and a sub in case of an injury and a reduction to 10 interchanges per quarter.
No pissing and moaning if you choose to use the sub and then get an injury.
Once teams realise they can park a player or two in the 50 for the whole match and they won’t...
That’s an interesting take, I don’t think that’s ever Been the standard but I agree with the idea, coaches will need to adapt and play real positional football.
I haven’t heard of the AFL reducing interchanges further but at least they have been going down, keep it coming
When the premier league season is 38 matches, then you add the Champions league season, then you add the FA cup, then you add the Carabao cup, it’s closer to 45 plus than 30
I see you really rated Clarke and this game he only had 16 touches, seeing how he has struggled massively, do you look back and see anything now that you previously missed?
Why did people think he could turn in to a AFL midfielder when he can’t find the footy?
