2012 Draft wish list

Wallace on AFL Trade Radio said that he has heard Freo are after Nathan Hrovat for their first round selection.

A 174cm midfielder is not something we are short off and, in keeping with our policy of ignoring needs, I fully expect that this will happen. Selecting someone like Shaw when we have a glaring deficiency in developing talls would be way too simple.

I'm 90% sure we will pass on Mason Shaw. I would put money on it, if he's available we will overlook him.

100% agree with this and it stems back to this interveiw with Rosich: (July 6, 2012)

ROSICH: If there's a way and means of us adding to our list via the pre-season draft or free-agency, then we'll certainly assess that on its merits. It's been proven that the only other way to get really talented key-position forwards on to your list is via early draft picks. We hope to finish high enough on the ladder so early draft picks won't be available to us.

It seems that the Freo list management committee will only draft KPF's with high draft picks (I assume top 5 or 10) or thru FA. I think it's an outdated veiw on drafting but it I'm sure we won't be drafting KPF's with our first or any of our picks no matter who's available.

I pray to god Terry is talking out of this rear-end which he usually is... Hrovat is a 2nd rounder at best. Small, slow, good hands in close but thats about it. Homeless mans Scott West, which is close to last on our list of needs
 
We already have Lower, Broughton, deboer, Neale, with Sheriden, Sloithe, learning the ropes. How many inside mids do we require?
The only tall depth we have is in the ruck, I would go Kp for our first pick, unless ALL the true Forwards and Backs are gone, wont happen, it will be Freo policy of so called Best Available, I hope we dont become the next Richmond.
 
Wat do u guys think of James Stewart or Michael Close ... on same website as previous suggestion
Both seem as if they would fill our NEEDS hole
 
alright guys trade week is over, time to stop whinging and moaning about it, its time to use the cards we have been dealt. with picks 17,37 and 40 in the draft what would your wish list be?
For me i would go:
17: Mason Shaw
37: Spencer White
40: Adam Carter or Sam Lowrie
 
Would Freo consider drafting Tom Gillies former Cats????

There is still free-agency for delisted players,but that would mean delisting another player ourselves.

Write up in Afl.com said he played a couple of good games for Geelong this season at CHB (i think) had 18 possessions and took 7 or 8 marks. The teams he played against though were Melbourne and GWS IIRC.
Apparently Hawthorn tried desperately to trade for him the year before but Geelong wouldn't deal. He has lost currency since then though. Not sure if an upgrade on Silvagni.
 
Pretty big Dude Tom Gillies

I think you need a Spurr upgrade in there somewhere too
My draft wish list: we have 3 picks before the eagles have their first. If what they get for pick 46 turns out to be a better player than what we get for 17/37/40 I wish the world to end, cause the taunts will be unbearable.
 
Like Jai SHeehan, Mason SHaw and Spencer white as well as Sam Lowrie but do we have a shot at coming out with all 4 of them
