He
What am I missing with Cerra, he just seems so meh to me
He is unique, most players who are elite in traffic and winning clearances are weak outside players with poor kicks. See matt crouch, priddis and players of that ilk.

Cerra is special as he is one of the best clearance winners available this year but he also has the exellent disposal and class on the outside.

I am absolutely a fan and would love him at pick 5. I would compare him to pendlebury. He can win his own ball and use it just as well. The only knock on cerra is a bit slow but as the players like pendlebury will show you smarts beats speed most times. He doesnt go in like a bull and a gate and just smash it forward, he will read the contest go in at the right time extract the ball and be out of thw area before players around him realise he has it just by heading the right direction which catches lesser players on the wrong foot.

FYI, pick 2 for me is simply LDU or Rayner. Whichever is available and personally i hope for LDU.

We've got a good history with South Australians. If he's in the top 5 my ideal picks are Rayner and Fogarty
...or LDU any of those three would be great. I quite fancy Stephenson as well. LLoyd will probably see it differently though. He usually does.

Lloyd was pretty certain that we went tall defenders last year and that we would target mids/fwds this year. I doubt that has changed with the extra pick. We need scoring/classy mids and now we have the picks to get them. I fully expect two very good mids come November with 2 and 5.

Best available Vic country mid at 2 and Naughton at 5.

Probably a reach for Naughton but he is a Peel lad and exceptional intercept mark.

No Vic Metro boys.
Ordinarily i'd agree about no Melbourne kids, but with the mega high picks we have to go with best available and hope if he wants to go home in a few years then he's still got currency.

I don't rate Brander that highly tbh. When was the last time a swingman was considered a true gorilla kpf like what we need? He's considered the best forward cos he kicked 3 goals in one game of the carnival. It's just a very shit year for talls, particularly tall forwards. I think Brander with pick 5 will be a reach. You can reach with a pick like pick 10 or pick 15, but pick 5 you are generally passing up a serious talent if you go needs over best available. We will take a tall forward with one of our third rounders and go hard for Hogan or whoever else is available next year.

Yuk Higgins 5 I am still ok , Allen 5 no thanks .
Just for the reaction :oops:

If I'm serious, then I'd be happy with:

2: LDU
5: Fogarty or Stephenson

I wonder if the club would actually use Pick 2 on one of Stephenson / Fogarty instead. Interesting to see the two selections we make from a crop we apparently rate highly.
