best player in the draft by a fair margin IMO.
Yep, which is why Carlton simply won't pass him up. Leaving us with Schache (minus the pressure of the number 1 pick) and we never have to play "what if" on Weitering.

Happy with that.

I'm really warming to Weitering...super solid CHB who was swung forward in Q4 in today's Prelim. and nearly won the game for his team :thumbsu:

Nabbed 2 goals and was hard to stop.
To be honest I think the only reason Schache has come into calculations for pick 1 in the 1st place is our link to him. If we weren't near the bottom I think Weitering would have been clear pick 1 all year with Schache clear pick 2

Schache is second best but first need,pretty happy with that.

Schache kicked more goals than anyone else in the under 18 championships (24, previous best was 18 by Patton). He absolutely deserves to be in the conversation for number 1. Statistically he's in front of Patton, McCartin etc at the same point. Weitering is clearly a superb player and man in the making with leadership qualities etc and will likely be an A grader but key forwards are more valuable in the way they impact games and how rare they are.

I'm probably in fantasy land but I'm still hoping we can somehow land both Schache and Francis.

Picks 2 and 3 should do it.

We've got 2 now it's just a matter of jagging 3 via a PP or Luey compo.

Come on AFL.....give us a break............we deserve one.

It won't be a PP imo,but compo isn't totally insane.

The weird thing is,winning the last game makes it more possible.The sensationalism of giving a team 2 and 3 versus 1 and 2 is somewhat muted.

I don't want to miss out on a another Tommy Cutler or a Daniel McStay. Players do slide down the draft order. We can always pick up a another Bell with a late pick. Hell Adam Saad was a rookie pick.

I hope foe Bell's sake he has a lot of improvement left in him.
We need some mature bodies to help these cutlers and mcstays.
