Tim Kelly has a couple young kids I think it would be best if he stayed west for settled reasons

Would be a very good pick up in the third round.

We better make sure we get another pick between 29-39 to ensure we beat the Muppets to the punch.

True but the Muppets still need a decent KPF or two or three to kick to otherwise the run and carry of a Kelly is wasted.

God bless their Great White Hope .......Michael Apeness the kid with the turning circle of The Queen Mary and he makes The Q Stick look nimble and fleet of foot.

Sadly I don't think he'd have enough currency, Schoey probably the same.

Liam Ryan - the HBF we have been looking for.

There - that should wake the recruiters up!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Whoever picks up Liam Ryan one thing is for certain their media training guys are going to have their work cut out for them.

Heard him on 6PR midweek being interviewed by Simon Beaumont. To say it was a tough listen is an understatement...

Not concerned about that in the slightest. Heck, in the EPL they often recruit guys that can't even speak the language.

Monocle, would our second rounder be a reach? If we've identified him as a player we want, surely we pay whatever is required to ensure that we get him.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Settle a debate for me fam.

My mate says Ryan will go first; I say Kelly.

Kelly probable third rounder, maybe late second.

Ryan late pick to rookie.

Thoughts?

Doubt Ryan makes it to the rookie draft, reckon both will go in the third round but Kelly first.

Take Kelly with our second, Ryan with our third. Problem solved. (I doubt it'll work out like this, but you never know.)

Be interesting to see what happens, hopefully we manage to get together multiple second/third rounders. Can't see us using our current second on Kelly.

Depends on how far we go in the finals.

Yeh I guess if it's a late second we might

Short answer is that I would consider it a reach that was a little to far for my liking.
If we had our inside midfielders as a collective in better shape and a few more of them then ....maybe ..... but I am always loathe to reach unless its for the final missing piece as per what Hawthorn did with Isaac Smith.

I would think that there will be some very enticing players still available at at second pick that could be handy pick ups at this point in the draft.
To name a few that may still be on the board:

We could get kissed on the dick and have Lachlan Fogarty slide.

But more realistically:

James Worpel, Charlie Spargo, Dylan Moore, Zac Bailey...... and then there are the two players who have only recently come back from injury (who both were pre injury touted as first rounders ) being Aiden Bonar and Jack Roughsedge. Bonar in particular is one to watch in the finals for Dandy he is a powerful unit.

So thats a difficult question Ellroy80.

I would prefer that we trade a player or two ( even a future second or third round pick ) and see if we can pick up another second or an extra early third rounder, to use on Kelly.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for us picking him up, it was just an aside.

Schofield was interviewed that he tried out and went home was homesick etc maybe he never played for EF and went home where Subiaco recruited the following season .

The EF connections makes sense as he is a Gero boy from memory. Probably just didn't crack a game.

Heard he's not the sharpest tool in the shed

we looking for a player or CFO?

 

[new breed]

Sam Taylor wont last to our second pick ....WCE need to find some extra picks Taylor looks to have a the goods for AFL .

Neither was Jackovich and yet he turned out OK.

And from my experiencing some of the best and easiest players that I coached were the dumb ones, they don't over analyse and complicate things they just play to instructions.
