Taking any bigs early can be dodgey, mate who is pies supporter reckons can only play half a game. They take time to build their tank up and lug around 100plus kg.
I think that's always going to be the case with taking a taller player. Its pretty well known that taller players take longer to develop and grow in to their bodies than the rest. If there is a KPP available at our pick that we rate then I think we will probably go for it.
We could only dream that we would have the problem of choosing between those 3. Realistically, I am hoping Durdin slides. Partly this is because he is a Croweater, and partly because of the similarity between Apeness and Wright (mind you they are all very tall).

Would rather someone with more agility like a Matthew Hammelmann TBH.
What are the chances of getting this de-bolded?
thank you kindly. Much easier to read now.

Really interested by who we will take in this years draft. A lot of the phantom drafts that I've read have us taking KPP's with basically every pick. We need speed.
I tend to agree. I think if there is no suitable KPP at our pick then we should look for speed.

Don't no FA about this years draft but my 2 cents worth is Pitt & Simpson were taken for their elite disposal, now Simpson may end up on the rookie list but if there is a fast mid with quality disposal at 13 he will be taken ahead of a tall.
Arcassius
Team Chaplain
Sheridan as well - taken for his endurance (1st) and disposal (2nd)
Shadow Man
Premiership Player
not inconceivable that Pickett could fall to us and Blakely wouldn't be that much of a reach either.
Big Flappy
All Australian
Liam Duggan has freo written all over him. Young for his draft class (17 year old), skinny flanker with good disposal.
Can see it playing out like in years past. Big guy we all want falling to our pick (Black, Darling, Kersten, Shaw, Durdin??) only to also overlook them for an unexpected pick (Fyfe, Pitt, Crozier, Simpson, Duggan??)
In saying that I wouldn't be disappointed from this write up.. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-04/meet-liam-duggan

I agree, and Langford is a chance as well. 190cm, skinny, 17yrs and with x factor.
There will definitely be a decent KPP prospect available. Durdin, Goddard, Marchbank, MacKenzie. Just get us one of them. Pay for quality. Draft midfielders in the second round unless Keitel or McGovern are there. Small defender later maybe.
Crozier was another. Pace and quality user of the ball.
Thought this a telling statement from an article on the AFL website
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-...g-question-for-draft-speedster-jarrod-pickett
In Pickett's bedroom, 14 footy jumpers are on clothes hangers on the wall. There's his junior club jumper, the ones from his representative teams, and the AIS-AFL Academy Australian shirt. His most prized is a West Coast jumper, signed by former captain Chris Judd. Pickett is an Eagles supporter, and has a footy signed by the 2006 premiership team. But he would prefer leaving Western Australia to pursue an AFL career.
We are up against it trying to get these boys back to WA in later years, Pickett doesn't even to start his career despite supporting the slime.

I'd like to discus Dillon Viojo-.
Do yourself a favour, watch his highlights video on the Draft Machine. Guy has a laser-like left boot. Wouldn't mind him as a Duffield replacement/backup. Where our gameplan is based largely on the fast break, the value of a pinpoint pass over 50m is immeasurable (see Hilly at his best).
Him or Clem Smith as a 3rd round I'd be happy with. They might get picked prior though.

I nailed it last year (pats himself on back).
So based on my hit rate in the last 12 months, I'm stating that Goddard is a lock. McPharlin replacement (who can also swing forward).
