No i got it .......no we don't / won't draft at #12 a flanker like Richards .......a Coffield will start at HB, but graduate to the Midfield .......a 191 cm midfielder with elite decision making

Interesting he's training with both SA clubs though

Are leadership qualities really a prerequisite?
Cant we just aim for a pure footballer this time?

Agree with some of this in principle , Richards seems to have all those traits however
So I wouldn't rule him out following those criteria

Well Enright was taken at #47 ......so yes i would take him
Mackie .....No, IMO he hasn't influenced enough games to be a #12 .........Mackie or Danger ?
Problem with this is that his contested ball winning still needs workNo i got it .......no we don't / won't draft at #12 a flanker like Richards .......a Coffield will start at HB, but graduate to the Midfield .......a 191 cm midfielder with elite decision making
I see a very dangerous, sure thing wingman/half back flank in Coffield, which is still a great get at 12

If one with Leadership is not there at #12 , well you look to the rest of the attributes .......but it has been a characteristic of our first round picks, Milera an obvious exception, but that counteracted by bucket loads of "X" factor
How many dangers have there been at 12 over the years ?
Mackie is worth a top 10 pick even in hindsight and Enright a top 5
Agreed so much
Leadership traits are great, but they need to be a bonus. The real character trait we should require is a ‘lead by example’ type, both on the field and in training (like Tex/Mrouch)

Gee i get pissed when players not even in first round consideration 2 weeks ago .....now is being even discussed for #12 .......lets move on to someone plausible
Or Alex Witherden who might win rising star next season

There's only a few players in this draft who don't have a lot of deficiencies to develop .....hence why this draft is so hard to pick the order .....it's each clubs view on each players developmental potential
Unlikely for our pick but maybe in our talent order around 12-15 as we might rate him here for us . Unlikely he's our 1st choice when we call
You said it's the last 3 months that count well he's the classic one

Yeah it is our M.O. I agree.
I think we have that area covered by now though surely?
For some reason I cant help but feel the ones with such qualities(who can actually play) also come with the go-home or GTF out of Adelaide gene.
Would rather we start targeting your Dustin Martin types

IIRC ......One?
But Enright wasn't taken #5 ......he was #47 .....that's the point of the discussion as to where you take these role players in the Draft

right, I'm saying we should or will be moving Smith, but IF we wanted Richards at 12, what's the end game?

Nothing wrong with this either, but i'd suggest Martin falls into the Milera category of "X" factor overriding leadershipYeah it is our M.O. I agree.

That said we've lost two leadership quality players in Lever & Thommo

The point is if a player is a gun it doesn't matter if he's a mid or a half back I'd take the elite half back over the B grade mid
If a club had of recruited Corey Enright at pick 5 it would have been the right call
Just pick the best player , we don't have a glaring mid weakness compared to other positions anymore

Exactly! ......IMO more potential upside Fogarty, Coffield, Bonar ect ......but that's just my opinion

I agree ....if that's the choice you're faced with
Agree with this too

Need more antisocial arseholes that can play. Milera has pleny of x but not much arseh*le.
Every gun premiership team has them.
Lever was potential. The Crouch boys .then it drops off big time.
Reckon Gallucci smacks of a natural leader. Reckon he is our next major flight risk also.
Feel like we're saying this just because he's Vic Metro
I can't see it, if we give him opportunities this year
