Plenty of draft watchers have different opinions about players and the same thing happens in the actual draft. Some of these selections become justified after being seen as reaches or wierd at the time.Maginness at Pick 8 - people are taking the piss with their picks already
The problem is that there are so, so, so many other players who have easily outperformed Maginness and would be more logical choices. Even Schoenberg from SA, who was barely on people's radars prior to the champs, would have been a more understandable choice at Pick 8. Also with Ash, Stephens, Flanders, McAsey, Taylor and Gould still available, I'm leaning towards that pick just being trolling.Plenty of draft watchers have different opinions about players and the same thing happens in the actual draft.

Doedee was a reach too. Sometimes a recruiter just has to go with what they see. Opinion not only varies but changes so much over the year.The problem is that there are so, so, so many other players who have easily outperformed Maginness and would be more logical choices.

I can understand having a different opinion to an extent (like Carlton rating Stocker at 6 when everyone else had him late teens) but Maginness is barely a top 30 pick, let alone top 10
That is your opinion. Of the rankings around 2 rankings have him top 10, 2 more top 20 and the rest around 20 to 30. It is all the opinion of the different individuals.I can understand having a different opinion to an extent (like Carlton rating Stocker at 6 when everyone else had him late teens) but Maginness is barely a top 30 pick, let alone top 10
Sydney reached for a running half back (Matt Ling) two years back a pick before we took Richards too. It all comes down to the opinion of the particular people making the picks and they are all different.Doedee was a reach too. Sometimes a recruiter just has to go with what they see.

Outside top 30 was slight exaggeration, he seems to be in the 20s for most I've seen. Can't say I've seen anyone ranking him above top 15, and no major rankings with him inside the top 20 (from what I've seen anyway).That is your opinion.

I just don't see anything special in Maginness - every good trait he has, someone else does better. I just see nothing elite about him, whereas I can for basically every other top 10 prospectDoedee was a reach too. Sometimes a recruiter just has to go with what they see.

Been draft watching for a lot longer than most on these boards so I respect your opinion mate.I know what I’m doing.
Reckon he'd be related to Darren McAsey who I played junior footy with at Spotswood back in the early 80s, who went on to play a few seasons at South Melbourne/Sydney Swans ( back in the days of residential zoning). From memory his old man had a few games at Footscray back in the 50s/60s.Best KPD in the draft Fischer McAsey is a Dogs fan. New favourite player
Got strong mail today we are into him with our first pickBest KPD in the draft Fischer McAsey is a Dogs fan. New favourite player
If we can't trade in a KPD have to think that McAsey would have to be the most likely As it is the biggest area of needI have McAsey, Dylan Stephens, Taylor and Flanders as the four I'd like if we had a pick around 10.
Definitely need a cool head to be really effective as a defender to make the best decision. Athletic KPD would be a good long term selection if he is availableWith McAsey, apparently he just doesn’t panic. Sounds appealing
The guys who are rated around Pick 3-7 could really end up going in any order. Seems like there's an upper tier (below Rowell, Anderson and Green) of:Caleb Serong would be a good fit for us I think, forward nous & the ability to also play through the midfield. Possibly gone by our pick though (who really knows), not keen on Kemp anyway.
My worry is how capable he'd be outside of defence. If he can't play on a wing or up forward, then I feel we're ending up with another Ed Richards, which would be great, but not exactly a pressing need. I think there are more immediate needs, and unless we rate him extremely high on the board and simply can't pass on him, then I think we'd be more likely to select someone like McAsey (the only high rated KPD besides Gould) or a forward, since they are all pretty hard to seperateCan't believe nobody's talking up Lachlan Ash on here. Apparently the fastest of the top prospects, and an excellent ball user who takes the game on. Sounds perfect for us.
I have McAsey, Dylan Stephens, Taylor and Flanders as the four I'd like if we had a pick around 10.
Would have to agree with you on this. Crying out for some tall backs.I’ll be disappointed if our first couple of picks are used on anything other than key defenders and/or small forwards.
