Definite shark eyes. Probably the best thing McGuire has said.

Hrovat was the vice captain, Captained the Northern Knights

Apparently he was a great captain in the Paul Kelly mould.

Should be the next skipper after Murphy.

I said it before, a lot of our players recently drafted players were Captains somewhere

I wonder if Dalrymple rates players with strong leadership skills on top of everything else
I actually like that to, if that is the case

Missed that. Who else please?

Wallis at Calder, Stringer I believe captained Bendigo Pioneers (actually he wasn't captain) -edited

I can't remember who else, but there is at least a couple more
someone else might help me out

Thanks.

But from what I read, The Rat was a great skipper in a crap side.

Smith was a vice captain, its hard to find their history in Google

because it keeps popping up with current articles

Boyd was VC, yeah? I believe Roughy was also DVC, as was Macrae.

Dry Rot · Nov 10, 2014

But IIRC none got the praise that The Rat got.

that is what I thought when I first saw his picture

we do need a red headed player though

Not nice!

yarm · Nov 10, 2014

Really? No, really? Give me a surprise on that list. B-o-r-i-n-g!!! Shake it up boys!

Yep, I have heard absolutely great things about Hrovat as captain. I'm happy to see how it all plays out, but as long as he's brought it all with him I can't see why he wont be in the leadership group sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about Macrae

is it something we intentionally look out for? players with leadership qualities?

which list? the poll at the top?

Boekhorst from Swan Districts? Could well be the outside run we want, he's not soft or shy of a goal, but quick and loves to move. He is also happy to get his hands dirty but does well to get loose and is damaging.

Will Fordham - Sandringham Dragons - 188cm Midfielder - nice skills and speed.

Didn't Pruden captain Assumption ?

yeah

I just remember a lot of our players saying they'd captained or vice captained

and thought that was interesting

Yeh it'd be touch and go 39 for McDonald, just think 27 is a bit of a reach for him. Would love to see us grab two sliding midfielders, Ellis or Blakely + Garlett or Menadue or something like that? Be laughing if we got two of those.

We simply need to pass on McDonald at 26 and 27. Will be far better players at that pick and history should tell us you just don't draft a guy cause you are scared he won't be there at your next pick.
McDonald never been rated in top 50 until recently where the demand for tall backs has been high from clubs. But based on talent alone would be stupid bypassing some of the mids we could get.
I believe we took hambling as that insurance and we try and snare McDonald in our 3rd or 4th picks.

there will likely be some KPDs at our pick 39 onwards and some that go to the rookie draft

McDonald is pretty wirey

Gore's pingin' his **** off!

Also on the captain talk, I believe Koby was captain of Gippsland? too.

Right on! picks 26 onwards are too late to get choosy. Take the best of whats on offer. Pick 6 was our needs pick and we traded it for needs. Job done.

On recent form, I doubt he would even make the leadership group at the Nar Nar Goon Auskick.
