Yep, surprised me with that move. I was sure it would be Butts getting the upgrade.
It means that we definitely need to upgrade Butts and Strachan next year, as they will be hitting the maximum rookie list tenure (even after the AFL extended it). That's something for people to keep in mind, when the 2022 list management thread kicks off.

We also don’t know if any of the guys taken at or beyond one of our picks will even become that big bodied mid we crave
It’s all hypotheticals. Reality is, Hamish took the players at the top of his talent list, that’s good enough for me right now

Look don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against any of the players and hope they all make it, it’s just the mix.
I posted last night that maybe we aren’t planning on playing traditional small forwards, instead we’d have our mosquito fleet of mids all rotate through there, which if that’s the plan is at least a plan and I think is a good one. Rather than a small forward being buried up there and having quiet games, you’ve got mids all contributing when on the ball and taking their chances when rotated up forward. Looks like they can all kick a goal except for Berry, but he provides more defensive pressure.
If this is the strategy, Rowe and Murphy’s days are numbered.

When does it become time for a change? How long does Hamish’s philosophies dictate our fortunes?
And those doubting the Soligo choice? Hamish said that all 7 of them in the room were in total agreement on that selection, & that does not often happen.
Rowe, yes. Murphy, not so much. We saw him spending a lot more time up the field in 2021, a trend which I expect to continue in 2022.
I'd also add McAdam to the list of players who should be looking worriedly over their shoulders.

A bigger deal out west.
I wouldn't have been against another Cook like prospect, especially considering that Cook is likely well rounded/talented enough that we can push him towards being an onballer in a couple of years.

He has, but we hope these mids we recruited end up better than Murphy.
Let’s wait and see if the current rebuild eventually leads us back to the finals first

So with pick 4 in the RD, we would be a very good chance to get someone like long or nankervis. So i expect we will grab neither of these boys

Rowe has far more midfield craft than Murphy

They’re too tall, obvs.
Ned Long - fingers crossed. Tunstall went to Brisbane last night I think.
Would like Ned Long, Lukac or Fejo with our Rookie pick.
Do you honestly expect the crows to say any different?
I think it's mid-afternoon. Ned Long - that's all I've got!!!
I wouldn't expect that at all. If there is one thing we should learn year after year, it's that Haggis and co pay ZERO attention to the group thinking that mock drafts tend to show. It is just as likely we will draft one or two guys that none of us have ever heard of.So with pick 4 in the RD, we would be a very good chance to get someone like long or nankervis.

Kade Dittmar

I think what many (and including us) are forgetting is that you have to look at the draft/trade period as a whole, because the trade can impact on what draft picks you have (as ours did). Fremantle for instance look to have done great, but they also lost a gun young mid. It balances out a bit.
For us, we picked up an elite player who can win games, a proven tall midfielder/wing with an elite kick, a hard working mid that our recruiters all rated highly, and an agile and elusive small forward who can also play midfield.
On the whole, it's a pretty good outcome and I doubt many have done better.
