Leader, genuine speed, precision disposal, general down back and a weapon with ball in hand... if we pass on a key for Coffee you wouldn't complain
I wouldn't be surprised if another reason we're staying quiet this trade period is counting the dollars for Tom Lynch next year. Rather than take an unknown KPP, grab a known quality and make do for the time being. Coff still fits a need and can play forward as well as back too.

I must say off limited viewing Coffield is the only player I can get moderately excited about. Has a lot of class which is what we really lack.

Wouldn’t mind seeing some footage of an uninjured Fogarty though.
Fogarty is a beast. He was my man before a quiet champs. I still think he can become one of the best out of the draft class.

Someone in SA tell him to go quiet?
I don’t think so. I think he was genuinely frustrated with his injury and his form. Maybe the pressure got to him a bit. Whether that’s a bad thing I’m not sure. Seems like a pretty confident young man from the interviews I’ve seen, so I expect him to bounce back.

All aboard the Coffield train but I'm just wondering who my second preference is in case he's gone because there's a bit of lip that North are keen on him.

I just can't wrap my head around the Stephenson hype to be honest. He just doesn't appeal to me.
On from this, Fogarty is the true x-factor player for me rather than Stephenson. Guy could be anything and that surname is the bomb!

Cerra intrigues me because he is a class act, I liken him to Cotchin but from looking as someone said, I don't think Cerra makes our current midfield and he's pretty one-sided and can't play forward like De Goey did in the early days. He's probably not the right guy.

Hunter Clark is another who I'm big on, who can play across half-back like Zak Jones or as a midfield bull like Powell-Pepper. He's a bit like Coffield I suppose but not as quick and more hard at it. He can be a real game changer.

Also Angus Brayshaw is another machine who is rising up by the day, classy and contested, can hit the scoreboard and turn a game upside by himself. The potential is limitless.

The talls Brander, Balta and Naughton don't really have me raving personally. I'd pass on all at six.

You would think one of Coffield or Fogarty is there at 6 and will be a bomb

Balta is potentially the X factor key we need
Petty is a marking machine and may not even be there at 36 so you'd go Clavarino or Sam Taylor according to Knightmare
Tyler Brown... pedigree
Murray... speed
Paton... Speed
Sorry mate, but I'm not sure if you realise how illogical I am when selecting who I want in the draft. I read most people's phantoms earlier in the year and found my favorites. Every time they update their phantoms, I find my favorites on the new list (hoping they've shown something) and stop reading after that... This method doesn't leave much scope for finding new favorites, or better targets, but at least I'm loyal :$
