I am interested to start this thread for one big reason - its a huge key position draft. Having a quick look at Knightmares Phantom draft hes got 6 KPP's going at the start of the draft. The only blemish being Waterman as a F/S selection. I know its early times but I dont think we have ever seen a draft shape up like this. Off the top of my head you have the 2000 Riewoldt/Kochitszke draft, but i dont know if we have ever seen potentially 6 KPPs going in the top 10 (to be conservative on Knightmares early predictions).
Really two things here - either we end up having a season that sees us in the bottom half a dozen sides and we pick up one of these players, or surely there may be some sliders due to the fact teams like GWS has too many KPPs and some of them make it to us. The other thing to consider is that GWS may be willing to talk trades and upgrade their current KPPs by moving someone on to pick up someone in this draft.
I think we can talk about this now as we are in a very good position at the end of this year to find that one player that we have been waiting for (less face it, since Fev) that really balances our side out by giving us another option up forward. Waites gone soon and we cant get half a season out of him. Henderson needs help and we arent sure whats going to happen with Casboult, but at the moment us a 3rd option and depth at best and needs more time.
Sticks came out and said it, that people ask him where are our KPP are and he said they have all gone to GWS and GCS. he didnt shy away from it, we need one. This really is the draft where it seems inevitable we will finally get one.
