Allen sliding big time!

Gees I've followed this thread and all the mail had us taking Fogarty, Murphy, Brayshaw and definitely Stephenson.

And we end up with LDU- am starting to feel the sources sources may have been guessing. Not cool at all.
 
My mail had Clark going well inside the top 10 (ended up pick 7).

Could end up one of the better players from this draft imho

Very good mid was hoping he'd slide but no way was he getting to our selection anyway.

The Swans are apparently quite tight-lipped as no one had any clue we would go after Matthew Ling.
Think the Swans really wanted O'Brien. Ling was the next best winger after O'Brien. Certainly looks like a needs based pick instead of best talent on board pick. However, after the top 12 picks, the talent in this years draft really is wildly subjective from club to club.

Agree with this.
It was a terrible quality draft.
Most of the top six will make it.
Maybe 2 or 3 of the next six will be more than journeymen.
After that very few will spend five years on a list. Clubs were throwing darts.
 
According to the article on who the other clubs would have drafted at pick 1 (on the AFL website last night) one of them said they had Clark at 2 on their board as they thought he didn't really have any chinks in his game. Suspect that might have been Adelaide, who were meant to be super keen on him.
Yep would have been the crows . Hamish O on radio said he really rated Clark

I think a lot of this years draft crop outside the top 12 are very rough around the edges, and might just take more time in the ressie's to work on their game, than what we're used to seeing in recent years. I wouldn't write many off just yet, but yeah, they're going to be sandwiched between two very good draft crops, in last years and next years kids.
