It's a pretty good draft for addressing our main weakness (outside pace). Options at every selection - Pickett, Weller, Ahern, Laverde at 1st, Garlett, Menadue, Cockatoo etc in later rounds. Hopefully we're looking at trading into the draft for this reason.
Looked like dusty they way he stood up in tackles today
FJ or Dimma
What a load of horse shit.

Nightmare in his phantom had him 188cm and isn't too light either. Could be quite a prospect! I haven't seen the game but it sounds like your scouting well above average again!
Beware white plodders in any division who never star at all..........
I just hope FJ hasn't lost his marbles.
We need Luke Williams to take over ASAP!
Rodney Dangerfield
Doesn’t matter
He's having a massive say don't worry.

Can you elaborate a bit more Rodney ? I'm liking the sound of that. I always felt that his arrival was part of succession planning.
Rodney Dangerfield
Doesn’t matter
I know he's loving the amount of input he is having.
At Carlton he was told to identify the best of particular types.
He did and then was told Na not that bloke , not that bloke, we want this bloke etc.
Why even bother having recruiting staff?
I'm not sure if it's a succession plan or not.

You mean like Troy Taylor, Relton Roberts, S.Edwards ect who he has picked since then?
It's not a directive against indigenous players (unless they are trouble off the ground but that's for all players).
Wow francis has really invested highly in the indigenous players in the last 10 years -
Edwards #26
Roberts 3rd round rookie selection
Taylor #51
Whilst both grand final teams would of probably had around 10 each in that time, We have 1 Indigenous player on our list and he didnt even know that himself until 5 years ago

Not a bad effort at all at face value IMO even though I am no expert to call!

Re: indigenous kids
Did anyone watch the coaching special on Friday?
Did you see how the coaches 'code' every passage of play, break it down over an 8 hour review, then communicate to every player exactly what they did good and bad?
I think anyone who has trouble communicating in this type of environment would be far less able to adapt to the team and follow complex instructions. That is why remote indigenous kids should be considered with speculative picks rather than early picks.
Indigenous kids who grew up in a western environment (perhaps with 1 western parent) would be more likely to adapt to the modern AFL environment.
I'm glad we seem to understand this sad reality. Communication and complex instructions make up a huge part of the modern team. Gotta recruit team players.

Hawks have
Jed Anderson, Cyril Rioli , Shaun Burgoyne , Bradley Hill , Derick Wanganeen on their list and all these boys are doing extremely well
Swans have
Franklin , Jetta , Goodes also 2 are Chamions/Legends and Jetta whilst disappointing yesterday is a very very good footballer not to mention players like O'Loughlan who has contributed to the culture of the swans and is becoming a very respected coach
Whilst you are always going to have your Troy Taylor's occasionally But you Cant go missing out on players like Franklin,Rioli,Goodes etc because they are from west of broome or have 2 parents that are Indigenous
If they can play football and the Psyc.Character test goes well - You take them
But if you recruit players like JON and dont know if they can read until 4 years after you recruit them - What does that tell you about our recruiting
(Francis Jackson started at Richmond in 2005, JON was recruited in his 1st year and was at the club during JON time)
You can also add clayton collard and Cam Petersen. But thats not the point your blaming FJ for something that no.1 is not coming from him and 2 its a chance of circumstances. If we had the picks i doubt we would have ignored Rioli, Yarran, Bennell, Martin ect...
