How do we feel about the drafting of Petrevski-Seton (P-S)?
Taken at pick 6 he has shown signs of silk. Well deserve rising star award.
How would the team look now if we had drafted the other prominent hyphen (and one of the other midfield options not too far from P-S), Powell-Pepper (P-P)?
In hindsight he would be exactly what we need now. Gets his own ball and uses it well.
(P-S) does not have the game or the hunger to get his own ball as much as others, this was obvious from his junior days. His value is on the outside of the contest. Which is great, he will be great when our midfield depth increases.
I suppose my basic argument is, should we have gone with two genuine get the ball midfielders in P-P and fisher instead of going half and half and getting one cream on top outside midfielder who will be handy when we are good and one who gets his own ball?
It is not a massive mistake. I think all players mentioned will do well. But in terms of providing a midfield which can get the ball to everyone else in order to develop the rest of the team we might have missed a trick?
