SA have produced a few blokes who are very good inside but terrible with disposal recently... Bampton if i recall...
Venables was obviously best available as judged by the club with the attributes required. SPP seemed fairly similar in style so disposal and marking abilty probably counted against him.
Rotham was a bit of a slider due to consistency issues but his 1st Quarter in the all stars game showed the talent he has.
Rioli was a bit of a suprise selection but impressed that the club drafted a small forward and liked that he is a little bit older as these type of players can be a real bust as 18 year olds.
Waterman was a bit of a steal as the last player selected. didn't test that well in the combine so hope he really applies himself at the level required to succeed

I have a feeling Simmo had a fair bit to do with this selection. No doubt he would have had a lot to do with Cyril during his time at the Hawks being the Mid/FWD coach. Not to mention he's the only one I recall saying that a small forward will be a focus come draft time.

SPP has two working feet at the moment though, bit of a risk with Venables after the bad luck with had with foot injuries the last few years.
What is wrong with his feet?

No one seems to know the exact injury but he finished this season in a moonboot with some sort of foot issue.
Quote from him - "and I don’t even know what happened with my foot, I was just warming up and then I couldn’t walk. It’s annoying and it’s hard to explain because it’s all uncontrollable.”
I would love to know what surreal feels like

He broke his Fibula last year. So at least the foot injury this year isn't related etc
He also had hip surgery last year

He was in the moonboot to end this year with his foot as well, so that's two years in a row he's spent a significant part of the year in one. Concerning that all his injuries are leg related.He broke his Fibula last year. So at least the foot injury this year isn't related etc
He also had hip surgery last year
High risk pick, but if it pays off we'll have a very good player on our hands.

It is a bit worrying because of what happened with Cavka. Everyone can go on about backing in our medical staff to get him right but sometimes these things are out of anyone's control. I mean Fremantle's medical staff were probably 100% confident they could get Bennell's calf right too.Couldn't walk.
Ohh dear that doesn't sound good. Risk vs reward I suppose.
Still, possible the injuries let us get a top 5 player in this draft at 13 so hopefully it works out.
Sounds like Chris "his shoulders are stuffed" Judd. Expect brownlow medals and premierships as well...

Shuey had injury set backs in his first 2 years. He's just following the script
