Does anybody else think there will be a chuckle throughout the audience if Brisbane draft McStay?

1-McCarthy - I reckon the Cripps stuff only started happening when the rumours about Collingwood being interested in McCarthy also happened, Pies wont take McCarthy and we will.Should we have some sort if nearest the pin for our three picks?

How is 194cm undersized, Nick Riewoldt is 1.93, Travis Cloke & Josh Kennedy are 1.96 so only 2cms taller and its not uncommon for a tall 18 year old kid to grow an extra few cms after there 18th birthday.Don't get the hype about McCarthy. Underdeveloped project forward who is only getting attention since this is a weak KPP draft. Let's get a mid and grab a decent KPP next year.

2-Crouch - Has been the big slider and so much negativity towards him, perhaps he will slide down to our 2nd pick.
3- Thorpe - no more needs to be said.
He said Underdeveloped, not undersized. McCarthy will take 2-3 years to be ready for regular AFL footy - time we may not have with our current window.How is 194cm undersized, Nick Riewoldt is 1.93, Travis Cloke & Josh Kennedy are 1.96 so only 2cms taller and its not uncommon for a tall 18 year old kid to grow an extra few cms after there 18th birthday.

Big Mistake if we take Cripps over Freeman, Aish, Lennon, Salem or especially if Bontempelli slip there and Cameron McCarthy what the hell there as a forward. I can understand why the Geelong recruiter took off if we rate him higher than these guys he looks like another kid that need many years in the Gym. It's a bad pick i have vision. We need to recruit toughness not someone that going to be a good speaker and look nice in a suit that goes to Harvard.
Problem is, we seem often to draft KPP on the never-never. We haven't spent a 1st or 2nd round pick on a 'decent' KPF since Josh Kennedy - 8 years ago.
Then we traded him back to WA (his home state). So last time we drafted a half decent KPF from WA in the first round it didn't go well. Something tells me we've learnt from this and will take Cripps as the right choice and pick up a KPF in the later rounds/rookie draft.Problem is, we seem often to draft KPP on the never-never.

I am not convinced it is that unlikely, he doesn't appear in anyone's top 20 picks and then there are a few speculative picks that will be thrown in and enough of a bad smell around Crouch for people to let him slide and keep sliding.It's extremely unlikely that Crouch's name doesn't get called within the first 30 names tonight.

Starchamber is cray cray

My point is we haven't drafted a tall forward, good or bad, with a high pick, at all in those 8 years.Drafting McCarthy who wouldn't be a first round pick in a better KPP draft won't help with that record.

He's exactly the raw mobile KP swingman we need at pick 39 to replace Paddy Mac in order to release the Hendo on a permanent basis!
Definitely looks a likely type though!I am not convinced it is that unlikely, he doesn't appear in anyone's top 20 picks and then there are a few speculative picks that will be thrown in and enough of a bad smell around Crouch for people to let him slide and keep sliding.

You say McCarthy wouldn't be a first round pick on what basis? Provided a handy target for WA and finished U18 AA in his first season of competitive footy.The young man has raw ability. Has some development left in him but don't most raw 18 year olds?
