I actually wondered if they were keen to look a the structure of 4 talls mid / fwd and how it played out - Grundy in for Reid and maybe play the other 3 tall blokes as per Sunday. Different to last year but Buckley may be thinking about given it worked yesterday.
Pretty impressive performance.

Game plan - they looked like they were alternating between two speeds. Slow steady controlled and then game on blitz through the middle. That balance was good.
Keane - reads the play well, plays the defender role well and did some smart things in the air...
Overall my view on the draft was that it was one of the more interesting have observed.
The selections from year to year at the top end tend to stay pretty solid but this year kids like Young, Serong, Flanders all slid further than what would have thought. I got their selections right but it...
I think there were some views around his intensity / commitment. At one point I was thinking it might be touch and go for him but rapt he got picked. He has a lot of talent.
Yeah I’m not sure to be honest. lot Of comparisons to Worpel and his draft experience for mine. Both somewhat similar types.... Worpel was a well known package whereas Jay has a lot of upside given his relative lack of exposure to others. Whether it’s the perceived issue around his foot skills...
Was blown away to be honest.
I was hoping for a tall forward and ideally that we would trade up for Jones but when these boys were on the Board at the respective spots was rapt we called them. I had both Rantall and Bianco at 20-25 and to get them where we did was amazing. They were better than...
nah the word I hear is that they have put work into a couple of talls. The ones I hear (in no order) are Jones / Riccardi / Comben. I had heard that they were trying to move up to grab Jones. Having said that at that part of the draft someone could slip and they would just take them bc as per...
Yeah will be interesting - I hadnt really thought about but i suspect they may either look at some mature age players that will solve some problems areas and or players that fall and they consider worthy. Left field thought might be kids like Kaden Schreiber from Oakleigh. Ie tighten the...
Well my heart sank last night when Georgiades was read out so I guess now we hope for;
Jones - still think we may need to trade up to get him
Worrall - more a back than a forward
Riccardi - I am really keen for him
Jeka - still a bit jury out for me but has talent. Question the work rate...
I'd have him a little different to Brown. More a natural foward crumber. Got a bit zip and goal sense about him. Brown was always an inside mid first and foremost at junior level. Daicos I think is probably more accurate but i think Mahony probably is a bit more of a ball winner whereas I still...
