I like Riak but I thought he was taller Eg 195ish and not as slight built but more muscular
And he is 19
Alir was 19
But taller and more impressive built I think
An above average keyforward wins u games
Wins u finals
Good smalls are important
But far easier to find
With Jesse added to our mix we won’t win a grand final if McLean or Amartey are still plying for us
They just dont have that high end talent
Jesse is a safe bet
Does not make our...
While I like Jesse D
Players like and his position can be found easily or far easier in the later stages of draft or Rookie draft Eg papley
How many good key forwards can be found in later stages of draft or rookie draft ?
Only one I think off is larkey
Even if Armstrong fails
He makes...
There is another 15 players at least who are very good left
Of that group I like
Gerryn Moarz Sims
Angus Clarke (I think)Hugo Boxall Riak Andrews
Hamish Davis another one or two
I really hope our current next pick of 41 is not used on Cochrane
I would love to see if we can do a swap...
I just knew these Jesse and Ned would be our picks
Had a feeling
And it was confirmed when we could have taken Armstrong but opted for Jesse
I am not saying there bad picks
But we could have taken Armstrong and Bowman
That might have been better for us
We don’t have the key forwards...
What are ppls thoughts on Riak Andrews - Mac Andrews younger bro
Many are suggesting he is not top 40 and even possibly a rookie
Is he worth a late pick in the 50s ?
Exactly
Best case Cochran is a Blicavs type or Nik Cox type
I have said that for several months now
If we can teach him
He
Exactly
I have thought about him in this context also - obviously best case
If we can teach him the game
He could be a great weapon and run riot
His size speed...
I think ppl also need to consider that most likely from 27-29
The drafts will be compromised
aside from this year being a good year potentially
I think many clubs are preparing from current draft for the compromised drafts coming
With the move of hamling and Francis to rookie
Does that mean all our rookie spots are covered and we not taking rookies
Does it mean that we are definitely taking 4 in the draft or could we take 5 ?
If cochranee can be developed into a running Utility or take over Blakey role and we give Blakey license to roam like Goodes use too
What would that do to our game especially if we nab Alex T and have him in the mix with rampe next year and without him after
We would have a pretty dynamic...
