Coffield has the least risk of the pick 6 selections. He has a position off a half back flank for us. He has a future spot in midfield. He's tall, agile, quick, skilled and a good decision maker. He'd play from round 1 for us.
I also like Balta because he has a great mix of attributes with his speed, marking, ground level game and the depth in his kicking. His positional scope makes him less of a risk. He has potential as a forward but as a minimum will be a key defender. And we need both.
The question marks over Stephensons kicking make me nervous and I don't think we have a mix that can absorb another poor kick. That said Dangerfield and Fyfe are shit kicks too and they're both guns. But i'd steer clear.
I really like Fogarty as a list fit if he makes it as a tall mobile forward. But I reckon he is an intercept defender, big bodied midfielder before that. And there is inherent risk in his injuries. I'm a bit scarred by the Scharenberg experience. We can't wait that long.
I still reckon we should go Balta to provide insurance for the possibility we don't get Lynch. So we aren't disadvantaged at key position by that gamble.
However I can see us risking it on Coffield and going after Lynch next year. That would be such a huge coup for us those two. I really like Coffield and could accept it, but still reckon we need to go key position.
