If you understood our KPD situation you would realise why we took him.
Very very happy with that selection. Same with Collins.

Carlton did what they had to do. CHB, FF and a CHF is a good job. Cuningham should compliment the slower bigger bodies in the midfield too. Was abit dissapointed we passed on Doedee... said no human on the planet.
IMO North did fairly well. Wagner was not a Brisbane supporter (Saints) so I doubt go home is a factor.
The Bulldogs also look to have added another good group of players to their already strong young list. Would be a pretty happy Bulldog supporter atm.
And Fremantle did well with their picks.
Wouldn't be getting too hard over Mathieson. He slide for a reason.

Height 193. I can name several 3rd/2nd defenders that are that hight or less.
M.Talia who they lost is 194cm....
1cm, huge difference.
I can see him as a 2nd/3rd tall which is what talia was

Can play forward too
The Dogs have a deadset no dickheads policy, Yarran immediately fails with the baggage he brings
They're allowed to have one.

Marcus Adams is a 193cm key position beast who equalled Natanui's vertical leap record and was top 5 in the entire draft class for his 20m sprint test. He fills a massive need for the Bulldogs, who were seriously looking to pick him with one of their first 2 picks.
Shane Yarran (who I'm assuming you're referring to) is a 26 year old flanker who fills no need, has a questionable character and is likely a flight risk anyway.
What's confusing?

"key position beast" ROFL
he's anything but...
yarran turns him inside out, beats him on the lead every time. he's not that quick or agile
nice footskills though
Even if he isn't Adams can still play as that third tall defender.
Morris only has one year left and Adams can swing forward.
Has appeal.

There are several drafted players you doubt where they will fit. I mean players like Richards (was a swing player/unknown), Gibson, Tarrant (was a forward), McGovern, Dempster (was a tagger at the swans), etc.... were drafted as as non KPD's. I could probably go on with a lot more currently listed AFL players that became KPDs and undersized KPDs.
He might not play as a KPD, but I think it was a good replacement.

he's not agile enough for the role at AFL level. he will get killed.
anyways, no one will agree with me until they actually see him play. until that happens i will just be hitting my head against a brick wall
for what its worth, he will be more suited to being a HFF/third tall than a defender at AFL level

His online lover is an Adelaide fan
Genuinely would like to know your reason for the losers? I don't follow the kids pre AFL but from what I can tell Richmond added a tonne of speed and x-factor which we have lacked in a big way..
Compared to selecting Lucas Cook at pick 12 these two seem completely reasonable.

People were saying the same thing after their 2010 draft.
Watson and McCarthy in the same draft.
There was their backline for the next ten years.
Luke Mitchell had played well at TAC Cup level and was a promising gorilla forward.
Unfortunately it never transpired.
