Looking at Stephens highlight, he is nothing like Dmac.

Dylan Stephens mark when he was in Yr 10. The guy can play!
it looks like it is at PAC - what do you expect
Not really, both are skinny as hell. Both are reasonably fast. Dmac has played over 200 games, some say he was lucky. Let's call it 150 games then over many years. Would you be happy if pick 6* was only equal to that standard? I want more than that from an outside mid.
Yes Stephens will bulk up a little but like Dmac will never be a brute.
Dmac isn’t fast, that’s a myth. He’s looked fast when he receives at full pace from a stoppage type situ and everyone else is largely stationary. He never runs anyone down and never bursts away from a chaser. The fast myth was busted at the same time as the elite run and carry and elite disposal fabrications were put to bed.

Drafting for needs in the 1st round is a fools game.
Not really. Your needs dictate the path a pick will take, and there are times where the best available isn't the best choice. Take KPFs right now, it's a mess with 2 forwards who are all but guaranteed 22 games in Tex/Lynch, Fogarty who should get 22 games and Himmelberg/Frampton who would also quite likely need to force their way into that mess just to have a second ruck. That doesn't clear up for a few years yet, so adding a KPF right now would just be a poor use of resources, even if the best player available is one.
You don't draft specifically for needs, but you don't ignore needs. There must always be that easy path.
Hey, we have 6 picks...If we get one of Flanders, McAsey, Young or Kemp at 6 I'll be very happy...until I realise we missed out on the other 3

So you are in the "Sorry Jack, I know you want to come back to the Crows from GC, but our forward line is full right now" campNot really.

Regardless of what you think of him.... he's played 200 more AFL games than anyone in here.
I wouldn't say KPF's are not a need for us atm. Tex and Lynch are getting towards the back end of their careers and there are no guarantees any of Fogarty, Himmelberg or Frampton make it. My gut feel is that Fog will eventually but I'm pretty doubtful about Berg and Frampton.Not really.

So is this Tariek Newchurch fella that Hamish mentioned on AFC.com the secret NGA we’ve all been hearing about?
