I was just interpreting the post by Paracleet.I agree with this, my comment was about the melts when we didn't pick him. He could end up the best player in the draft.
Judging the draft results before 3 years is a bit silly, not as silly as melting about one of the clubs two top 5 draft picks before they had even arrived at the club.
Whilst Dow's explosion from the stoppage is great, his skills by hand and foot have been terrible so far. Not sure if that is an inexperience thing or just an ability thing.I went LDU and Dow. Pretty happy the club didn’t listen to me as Brayshaw and Cerra showing plenty of potential. Although, Dow would have been nice as well.
Never rated Fogarty in the lead up to the draft and still don’t. Seems too small to be a key forward but too big to be a midfield.

If he cleans that up he'll be amazing.
Watching in general play is much less impressive. Does a LOT of clangers. Like handballs 2 meters wide of the target and to ground, lots of OOTF when kicking for goals etc.I haven’t seen him play too much this season but I liked his highlights reel. Reminded me of Lenny Hayes.

That said he has improved noticeably later in the season. Seems to be a reasonable tackler. Must admit though, I don't think Hayes when I see him more Danger, but very light version and a worse kick.
Yeah I think he will at least be a good clearance player. Stoppage burst is valuable but if he doesn't tidy up the kicking he'll become a liability with turnovers.He does play for Carlton though
Jokes aside, he may clean that part of his game up as he gets stronger. He seems fairly lightweight compared to the rest.
I rated fogarty highly last year. still think he will be a good playerFreomaniac necrobumping again?
Applying some tough man Tony Abbott tactics to posters real-time bagging the Brayshaw pick?
Fyfe, Neale, Blakely, Brayshaw, Cerra, Walters, Bennell, S Hill, B Hill, Langdon.
LDU might still become the best player from that draft, but jeez it'd would've been hard to have another injury prone talent on the list these last 3 years.
where are you now?I'm fine with that. My problem is with blowing our load on one pick, and being left in the position of having to rebuild the rest of the list with chump change.
That's taking us back 10-15 years when we were perennial dreamers simply because we had a handful of good players, surrounded by scheiß.
People might not be fully confident with Apeness/Cox, but we simply don't have the luxury of going HAM on another KPF when we've got trash getting regular games for us in the midfield.
Like it or not, we've made that bed, now we must lay in it. We have no choice but to back Apeness/Cox in.
We've only got so much trade currency. Why would we go all in on another tall, when we can play it safe by drafting some midfield depth AND giving a chance for our talls to come hood? It just defies common sense with risk/reward.
