as always, I'm not even going to pretend I know any of these kids. Would love to know how many people here have actually seen them play.
Give me Weitering ( i believe the hype) and whoever Sin tells me we want
Standard
Last year I started to watch a lot and really started to get into it the more I knew Carlton would languish on the bottom for a few more years...
Best advice I can say is to take in other scouts (amateur or not) opinions. Everyone sees the game differently. Nobody rated Zac Dawson and Ross Lyon has taken him everywhere with him!
We have gaps all around the ground, so wouldn't surprise me if we pick best available on every live pick we have.
FWIW - This is currently my projected top 11 - and who I am hoping at 19.
Pick 1- Jacob Weitering (
get excited...)
Pick 2- Joshua Schache (Brisbane)
Pick 3- Darcy Parish (Melbourne)
Pick 4- Callum Mills (Sydney) * Bid
Pick 5- Jacob Hopper (GWS) * Bid
Pick 6- Aaron Francis (*)
Pick 7- Charlie Curnow (*)
Pick 8- Matthew Kennedy (GWS) GCS Bid
Pick 9- Hard to say what GCS pick here (Mathison could be plucked here)
Pick 10- Sam Weideman (Melb)
Pick 11- Rhys Mathieson (Carlton)
Pick 12- Wayne Milera (Adelaide)
Pick 13- Harley Balic (Carlton)

Pick 19*- Collins/McKay/Oliver/Gresham
Wouldn't surprise me if Balic goes a little higher. Seems to have one of the bigger scopes for improvement and seems one of the better "outside" players with scope of developing his inside game. He is someone I hope we get.
Mathieson/Balic for our Picks 8/11 (or whatever they end up being) would be a very nice get.
Pick 19, I am comfortable with best available. If it is another mid, so be it.
