4 years enough experience?

Plus more....

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Very weak, really drops after the first 20. There is a reason why every single club is trading picks in the 20's. Also a big reason GWS and St Kilda want a stack inside the 20.

If Garlet still there at #26 we should take him.

So I guess if we do pick someone from later in the ND it'll be a mature aged defender from Frankston and not some future spud.

 

[animal ritz]

It might've been more strategic of me not to ask minutes after the Crameri deal was announced. Already buried under five pages of discussion. I completely agree that he's just what we need plus we could realistically nab him with 26.

True. Will try and get the ball rolling again now though seeing as people seem to have actually started taking about 26 a bit more.
So please guys, this is attempt number three, how would people feel about Jay Kennedy-Harris at 26?
for those that have never heard of him, a draft profile write up:

Hope so but somehow I doubt it will happen. Mind you at 26 I would. The draft looks like an absolute spud.

Garlett at 26

Upgrade: Steinberg
Upgrade: Dalgelish

DONE.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Agreed. Hopefully a bunch of clubs are still spooked from last year.

There are whispers about Dushner (sp.) from our VFL side as a chance, purely as this draft well it is ordinary. As I said before, if we had to get penalised, we picked the right year anyway!

Won't go 1st round. The question is whether St Kilda with a stack of picks take a gamble at an early 20's pick or GWS.

Saints would be the most likely I think. GWS seem paranoid about nurturing their club culture and with all the other players available to them by virtue of all the first round picks they've accumulated I can't see them taking the punt on a guy who might cause trouble.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I can picture Richmond taking Garlet.

St Kilda worry me although the good thing is their last one before us is in the teens I think. Garlett probably won't go there- more likely in the 20's.

 

[sacka]

How deep is this draft looking to be? If we only got 55 for Gumby would it be better to upgrade Steinberg instead of risking some kid in what could be a weak year?

Why not take a punt on 55? Steinberg isn't likely going to play a senior game next year anyway, and we might uncover a gem.

Disagree, not with Martin in the same side.

Garlett at 26

Upgrade: Steinberg
Upgrade: Dalgelish

DONE.

Dalgleish is the only rookie upgrade we'll be doing according to Dodoro. My guess would be the best available small foward/mid at pick 26 (Garlett or Jay Kennedy-Harris), then a KPF/ruck with the next pick, then upgrade Dalgleish after that and pass on all later picks.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Yes your right.

Reckon there is a good chance of him sliding to our pick but will Dodoro and the club take the risk?

I wouldn't mind that. From some of the games I saw last year he was a real stand out. Really turned it on for a small bloke and thought he was a little ripper.

On WHO though that is the big question, you are really gambling this year after 35.

And then having the Dogs come around and pinching him too.

Can see the merit in this, I would like to retain Steinberg for next season though. Garlett at 26 would be perfect. Getting a top 5 talent at 26 is what we have to do. Lets back Bomber to work with him- remember Stevie J....he was off the rails too!

I can't see this bloke lasting that long (#26).

That is the million dollar question, don't know.

Would be around the 26 mark, probably in the early 20's though!

Look I am not convinced but we could do worse in a draft this poor.

 

[Runk]

LOL. Dirty arsed Doggies.
On a side note: I'm glad to see Crameri go. There I said it. Not saying anymore. Has been done to death.

 

[Runk]

Fair enough. Poor drafts certainly sometimes gives fringe players wonderful opportunities to fix/strengthen their games and we could see a real gem there.
