TheHeatleyStand said that Albert Proud would be a star and said that Cripps was a bust after seeing him play seniors for a year.

Take ALL opinions with massive grains of salt.

Basically we are all hacks and arguing over who is the best (least worst) hack. Which is pathetic.

..Speak for yourself... I played eastern rangers, u/16's before pursuing alcohol /boobs.

His point is still valid. Cripps is back in 12 weeks. We don't draft based on that occurrence, a 12 week injury (panic drafting). Why is it panic drafting...because we still need more players in quite a few positions. An inside mid is just one of 5/6 players that are important we draft to complete our side.

If as you say we need more inside mids, then i get it, and agree, but we stick to the plan and pick best available with a top 10 pick.

Silvagni will pick best available, taking into account associated risk. Between SPS and Brodie I think we should opt for the latter. yep, I've flip flopped again 24 hours out.

Also, why is nobody talking about Ainsworth who could slip to us.

Please let Taranto slip to us!

If not him, then Brodie or SPS in that order.

I know some Tarantos back home, Who support Carlton, thats wierd that your potentially picking up a kid of the same name?

I hope he goes to you, since he has the same heritage as Kouta(I think. Of all the picks this year, i would want the dees to pick him up but thats not going to happen)

Short term concern is a long term concern. Shows lack of depth. Its not like a freak thing happening to several similar players at once. We lose Cripps for any period of time and we look weak. We need tough inside mids. Whos even close to Cripps in toughness? Murphy gets flung around like a rag doll, Gibbs we all know isnt the hardest nut over the ball and is more the recipient... we dont have Judd. We dont have Bell. We dont have Robinson. Who are our tough inside mids besides Cripps? Exactly.

Remember this is a rebuild and will take time to correct our list. I am sure you don't think we should take the lower rated player because of a 12 week injury. We will find a similar type to Cripps this year or the next. But we don't want exactly the same either. I am sure SOS will address our lack of quality on the inside.

Kid was great when not injured will return to being the best after Sydney draft him.
We massively lack quality big bodied enforcer type mids (other than Cripps).
Sick of seeing CFC rag dolled and would like a Setterfield, Brodie or Scrimshaw type if Taranto and Mcluggage are gone.

Sydney first 4 mid's last year were Kennedy, Parker, Hannebury and Mitchell. You could say that Kennedy is the only real big bodied mid in that group. Size isn't the issue but type. Hard inside mid. SPS addresses that. I don't expect him to physically dominate next year but will complement Cripps in the long term. Long term is the aim of the game.
 
Is Fisher being taken with our 2nd pick to big a reach? I really rate him. Might be small but finds it on the inside and has more upside than Drew. Hard and tough little bloke.

Is he up there with Albert Proud in your esteemed opinion?

Are you saying Sam has problems with the law and breaking into homes beating people up and bashing his Mrs but can play football?
Is this what you're insinuating?
I'm finding this indigenous generalization rather offputting but if you know something we don't know please let the club know about it!
Fancy bringing up those kinds of psychological profiles.
As we know Albert was a gun footballer who didn't have other aspects of his life together.
But why are you comparing him to sps? That's uncalled for imho

I have sensed a bit of this thinking in BF over the last week or so.

Footy geek has a role around the club too tsk tsk tsk
Sps is a quality kid by all reports.. Somebody should let footy geek know that his very unfair comparison is uncalled for.. Shocking really!

I'm so glad to see you finally got your priorities straight.

If Emma Quayle is remotely close to the draft I will bow down and call her the AFL's goddess.

If, however, she doesn't get close with all of her 'inside sources' I will laugh hard at all of her fanboys/girls.

Her phantom draft is very different to almost all of the others: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...se-in-the-2016-afl-draft-20161124-gswol9.html

Nothing to bow to. Ask questions in the right way (and as late as possible) and you may get some answers.
Seems to me that no-one is really sure of much at all. Just the way it should be.

It will make for one of the most enjoy able drafts to watch/listen to. D-day is upon us.
