Actually just realised GWS having pick 10 now is a blessing as it means we move up one spot in the pecking order RE getting non academy kids. So it's as if we have pick 10 now of the likely live picks, if you know what I mean.
Still think it'll be unlikely one or more of Weideman, Francis or Curnow will be available at 8. And I don't like Mathieson bec he doesn't look like he has much class.
I can't see us taking Burton given his injuries - we'd be scared of another Menzel.
Which leaves Milera or Balic and I think you go the local boy Balic. So it's Balic at 8 IMO. Balic is class and I think Carlton under Bolton will only pick class users of the ball.
In line with the class and local boy theme I reckon we go Tucker at 10.
Then you hope Collins is there at 19 and if not you go a Mckay. So you get a tall at 19.
I just think we have to get mids ASAP to make the side competitive ASAP else we risk being a basket case like Melb.
Talls can be got via FA and trade later. And anyhow we get Weitering, Collins/Mckay, SOSOS under my plan so we get four talls anyhow inc Plowman.
I know Tucker is more a HB but I think he will progress to midfield eventually.
I think Milera is class but he's a tallish skinny type which concerns me, whereas Balic and Tucker just look more solid.
Like Gresham as well. Small but real good user.
