So you recruit another inside mid in this draft, who are these guys going to feed the ball out to?have to agree to disagree there Juss, inside mids still a major priority imo.

Although unlikely SPP will drop to 27, no problem putting him on a 'want' list as it 'could' happen. But Scheer is an absolute zero chance at 27. Suns will match there. There's a chance should a team go for him in the teens, Suns will think hard is the rumour. Watched him play from 13. Played senior NEAFL at 15. Can play!Such a strange feeling..first year in a while I have no idea who I want or who we will get. Our draft position is shocking.
We should create a top 5 list of who everyone wants
From what I have seen.
MY TOP 5:
Sam Powell-Pepper
Jordan Ridley
Shai Bolton
Scheer
Some tall, Himmelberg?
Prestia will play mostly outside with his class and pace, while helping in clearances. Wont really play insideSo you recruit another inside mid in this draft, who are these guys going to feed the ball out to?

you have wanted that for a few years now yeah? meh we have given spuds like thomas a go on the list so why notWe could do a lot worse than rookie Shane Nelson.
Has pace and wins his own footy.
We struggle winning the ball he wins the ball.you have wanted that for a few years now yeah? meh we have given spuds like thomas a go on the list so why not

Conca.name me one player drafted after Martin that looks like being a gun inside mid.
Yep which means they are in 2 categories.When guys like Martin Cotchin Caddy and Prestia are resting forwards they play as outside types. When they are on the ball I'd have them as the inside ball winners feeding it out to the runners mentioned.
I want to see us take in the draft (in my quite uninformed opinion):
27. Josh Begley (187cm/87kg General Forward/ Inside Midfielder) - If the likes of Powell-Pepper and Berry are not there
56. Jack Maibaum (192cm/91kg Defender)
78. Kayle Kirby (181cm/86kg Medium Forward) - Not sure if he'll last until the rookie draft so put him here. There are a couple of Phantom Drafts/ Power rankings that had him drafted in the main draft, so I'll put him here.
Haven't really addressed our KPP needs but we should perhaps wait until next year for that. It was mentioned that there are quite a few KPPs at the top end. Maybe we can change the structure of our play in the meantime.
Yeah some say that Maibaum will go in the 40s.I like it. But you'd be doing cartwheels if Maibaum got there- not out of the realms that Kirby goes rookie from what I hear....
Yeah some say that Maibaum will go in the 40s.
By the way, do you think Esava Ratugolea will be picked up this draft? And if he won't my understanding is that he can be picked up as a Category B rookie right?
Yeah that is true I guess, and especially with talls. I'll be interested to see if we end up picking him up somewhere along the line.To be a Cat B rookie you need to be overlooked in the national & the rookie draft. I can't see that happening with him. In reality if they aren't picked in either- they probably aren't any good.
Cheers Shaun.Joe Atley - his highlights on the RFC looked really good. Good hands, decent kick, pace out of contest and a nice step.

Talking about hedging our bets.Seeing that we have recruited Prestia,Caddy & (Yarran) and the lack of depth in our tall dept.Could it be likely that considering we have 2 1st rnd picks next year that we take a tall this year with our 1st and take a tall and a quality mid next year?
2?.No way.lolMidfielder this year
2 X 2017 1st rounds picks to GC for Tom Lynch next year
2?.No way.lol
didnt lynch resign like a week ago? maybe target 2m peterlets face it. both 1st round picks could be 10 to 18.
last 3 years has kicked 46, 43 and 51 goals and is starting to become a quality key forward, 25 years old come end of next year.
they will want a 1st rounder and a player. but depending on their academy selections they may settle for 2 x first rounders.
just had a feeling with now 2 x first rounders next year and us needing another key forward with Jack's age and griff's injury problems we will go for it. caddy and prestia as pulling power too.
just a hunch thats all
