Between Clarke and Atley, who is more likely to slip to our second, do we take either and who has the greater upside?
Both will probably be there, would prefer Atley. Clarke is a taller, left-footed version of post-achilles Andrew Swallow. Good at clearances by hand and tackling, tries his guts out but limited on the outside. Atley is a much more rounded footballer imo.

Had issues in 2015 with disposal count and impact on games

Dunno just not sold on him
Fair enough. I reckon the fact that he's still managed to average 20 touches this year despite dealing with some pretty heavy personal stuff, and saved his best footy for the finals and the All-Stars game, bodes pretty well for the mental side of footy.

Have word that we've had as many interviews as gws with one of their academy boys. Flew out to see him the other week

Us/gws daylight 6 other clubs.

Looks likely we will bid on him
I hope we bid on Perryman at 11, even thought GWS will match. Such a natural footballer.

Macreadie will get bid on before 32, although there's a chance both Sproule and Mutch are there. Maybe we love one of those three and know that bidding at 11 will likely mean they don't match?

Not sure where all the hate for Florent is coming from. If Hawks picked him up we would be falling all over ourselves in two years to trade two first rounders for him.

If someone better slides then go for it but this kid looks a jet. Nice skills, hard worker with a bit of xfactor. Can play outside. With Wells gone we have no one like this.

there is a little voice saying bid on Jacob Allison at 11, I don't know why, maybe I just want to scream out "fruity" at the football, curious as to an insight why he has drifted so far this year.
