2017 Draft - Pick 30

[Mr_Plow]

We will bring someone in. Not concerned and I still think Phillips could ruck for another 4-5 years

Don't think we can bank on either of these scenarios. TDK has always looked better to me as a ruck than a forward.

TDK looks like a gem.

I would have gone:

Pick 3: Paddy Dow (LDU if gone)
Pick 10: Darcy Fogarty (if we were looking for a running player, Zac Bailey at this pick)
Pick 30: James Worpel

I was similar but with Higgins at 10

I see him training as both. Leave him out at FF with new rules and he will be dangerous. Reads the ball very well coming in and has great hands

Higgins was the one player in the draft I had no idea where to rank.

Great assessment on your part.

how good will it be when our first pick becomes something like 15 and above? pressure off, thinking caps on.......

That will happen this year.

Mid teens picks are ideal to pick up elite small forwards and half backs.

We just need to make sure we're selecting players that can win their own ball.

This year it could be pick 40 or more. That will make for some interesting discussion

I think if Spargo was still on the board, SOS would have called his name out, but pipped by 1 pick

Rated the kid as a late 1st, really surprised he slid, but did have an injury in his final junior year

Will be a beauty

On TDK, we just need to be patient, has all the qualities for a modern day tall

Agree Arrow Spargo is a ripper and would have loved on board, however TDK is a quality tall just Hoe good not sure if we’ll have a Ben Brown on our hands. However a good addition to the team.

But, but we are trading it, right?

Only SOS knows the answer to that question

I was all for Worpel and didn't even have TDK on my radar. Very happy though. TDK is improving all the time and looks very good.

I was only worpel. Absolute steal by the hawks
