I think the media covers players performances generally pretty well and the way the coaches rate them at underage level.
Must have missed all the phantom drafts being completely wrong tonight
I guess Conole doesn’t know either
Lohmann played on the wing and across half back at 16s level for Vic Country, however he has been used with great effect across half forward this season in a strong Greater Western Victoria Rebels team...
But we picked ESmith so he could throw his body around and burst from packs like Dangerfield without having consistently shown he could do this at a lower level. Similar to what we’ve done with Lohmann
There are several around the mark who had far more consistent season even at stage league and state representative games who I would’ve been happy with
The defence seems to be that he can offer more in a different position to what we’ve seen him play. That isn’t offering a lot of guidance on where he’ll end up and has backfired before compared to someone who has at least performed well in their position even if they have a lower ceiling

Should we not have a more obvious form line for a first round pick in what I believe was a very crucial draft
It seems most on here are happy for us to have taken a decent sized risk at this pick. I’m not. I think there’s a real risk the last 4 years echo what happened around 10 years ago where...
I'm saying you shouldn't put blind faith in recruiters
If he was as good as they say don't you think he would've kicked more than a goal a game in a junior league?
That’s still an issue and a huge risk. I don’t think we’re in a position to do this given we’ve added bugger all talent in the last 3 drafts. Picking someone who hasn’t even performed a role well at under 18 level and expecting him to develop there instead of drafting someone who did play that...
This would be why I don’t have faith in our recruiters. Not many wins recently
