Bonar could be another Morabito. Too risky
Hardly !

Kid had a knee issue because a player fell across his leg pretty heavily and needed a knee re construction, It was not done properly and had to be done again but this time by the best in the business - He came back and stepped straight in no issue

Nothing like Morabito

Sounds like coughlan. Pass
 
And what do we think of knightmare's assessment of club needs? (In order: Key forward, outside pace and skill and general defenders)
I think we're pretty good for outside pace, Rioli should develop into a midfielder, plus Bolton & Menadue to come into the side next year as well. Markov isn't slow and Naish should help in that area too.

They believe Balta and Allen will be available at 20 also
If we by some stroke of luck (if we have not used it all in 2017 already) We end up with no bids on Naish until after #25 and take
3 of the following Balta,Allen,Bonar,Brander,Richards,Naughton - We truly have been kissed on the D***

If we get brander, balta, allen and naish we could be set for years. In 2022 we could look like:

Short Garthwaite Broad
Vlastuin Balta Naish
Markov Martin Menedue
Bolton Brander Stengle
Rioli Allen Costagna
Nankervis Graham Prestia
Townsend Ellis McIntosh Butler
Soldo Moore Ellis

That’s not even including 2018,19,20 and 21 draft picks :D
 
was interesting in the grand final - can't remember exactly who said this, but apparently when griggs gave nank a chop-out in the ruck, we broke even in the clearances (or maybe even won them, correct me if i'm wrong though) despite jacobs having an obvious height advantage.

that's only one example, but i reckon you might be right - the game is getting smaller and faster, and teams seem to be looking at ways to play an undersized ruckman in order to keep up with the frenetic pace of the modern game.

as you say, there's still a place in the game for talented rucks, so i wouldn't be disappointed if we took hayes with one of our picks. his endurance put me off initally, but having thought about it, he could be a steal if developed well - looks to be very skillful. hopefully, though, if we do take him it's because he was best available, and not just because he's a ruck. i'll back the recruiters in though, done a great job in recent years.

bonar at 17 would be great, but i reckon maybe someone else will pull the trigger earlier


Tim Watson Mentioned that about when Nank went off

Should have another rioli in there somewhere

Hope we can get 2 of Allen, Bonar, Brander, Balta.
And if no one bids on early Naish I wouldn't mind having Hayes on the list if we could get him for #25.

While I don't totally agree with his assessment this time around, I saw he mentioned Ben Patton, if we still have those picks in the 50s as live ones on draft night I'd be happy to pick Patton up then, good player, tiges man too.
