Kelly would be nice at Pick 2 if capable, addresses a need for outside run would love Freeman though as well, decisions.

Why are we talking about pick 2 if we don't have it..?

Rumours circulating that we are in fact targeting pick 2 and going after it hard, I fail to see how we could make a deal come to fruition unless trading one of our budding stars, its okay to dream though isn't it?
 
MR Have you heard anything surrounding Freeman and if Richmond are interested taking him with our first rounder? Would love to hear your thoughts on a comparison between Salem and Freeman! Both quality candidates.

Personally, I haven't seen Freeman do enough on the inside to prove he can become an elite midfielder. That said, he does have courage, so it's certainly not out of reach for him to learn how to. Love his athleticism. His ceiling is higher than Salem.
Salem is a much safer selection. I'm a massive fan of Salem and last year thought we'd get nowhere near him. To no fault of his own, we actually have a decent chance of snagging him. He runs, he tackles, his skills are good. Him and Ellis on the wings would make a deadly 10 year combination.
For me, I'd go Salem. Just naturally follows our past selections of Conca, Ellis and Vlastuin.

That said, whilst I (and Richmond) would be stoked with Salem, I think we need to focus on the inside rather than the outside. I reckon the club agrees. The club aggressively chased Adams and we won't get him unfortunately. So let's give a hard crack at Crouch or Sheed.

I question whether Sheed will develop into that genuine real A grade midfielder though, from what I have seen I feel as though he has outstanding qualities but will just be that workhorse type midfielder (Nothing wrong with that but better options may be available, open to be proven wrong) Would love Lennon to fall and give us that added class and exquisite footskills yet it would appear we may be locked into Salem which would allow us to upgrade on Grigg through Salem's continued development. Excited to see the opinions Francis and Co have of prospects through the 2nd and 3rd Rounds.

can never have enough inside mids but we do need some outside run now Whitey is gone
 
Id really like to see us take a Punt on 2 players from the state leagues. In the 20-23 age bracket. Freo have done really well from it in the past and a few other players have helped team alot by it also. Take young kids with our first 3 picks then try and get a mature age player with our 4th rounder and a rookie pick.

Ok, I'm jumping in now that i think we will draft with #12. (Is it 12?)
Is Salem the one for us, like most of the phantoms are predicting?

Again, sorry for the late arrival, I guess you could say I've said my goodbyes to Adams last night while listening to James Blunt. (Just like last year with Tyson *uncontrollable sobs*).

I think we are at the stage now that we can take a punt with our second round pick. To get that next step we have to take a punt, Id go with a safe first pick and third round picks and take Garlett with our second rounder. If it comes off we got a steal of not. We havent really lost much, Ill back Blair and the recruiting people in what they will do but thats what Id do. Same as Sydney with Jetta and Hawks with Cyril. Both High risk High reward and have come off.
