No... they are all highly talented and are local is a bonusThen trade out Sloane, Matt and Brad and we can just go exclusively for SA boys regardless of talent
Mcasey has a bit of swing man Naughton about him , more exposed forward than Naughton was at same age and well performed forward
If next year we finish lower than most clubs with highly promising FSs/NGAs/Academy players (especially WB) and pile up enough picks to cover our own FS/NGAs without having to use our own r1 pick, Hamish could put on the Highway Robber mask and bid on players from all those other clubs - make them all chew up their r1 picks to match and get their players.
If we draft McAsey, I thinking he would be tried as a forward. I say this because Ogilvie agrees he can play forward or back, and Nicks has said in interviews that he's really happy with our back six in it's current state.
Do they have any picks?
Is he as mobile as Harris Andrews?
Pick 4!
Never pick him as being a former Copper either....quite an imposing figure in real life having had a chat with him at a game here at Mars Stadium in 2016. Plays his cards pretty close to his chest, all I could get out of him was we were looking at drafting mids to replace Thommo who he didn't think was going to front up in 2017 but as we know now Thommo did go on and stunk it up. I was hopeful after that that he would look at drafting local lads Jarrod Berry and Willem Drew who both had great games that day, alas he chose Jordan Gallucci and the mob down the road nabbed Willem Drew before our pick Myles Poholke came up.
This might be a way for us to get in on the action - don't think #4 can come back to us because of the new rule (pick #4 originally came from us so can't come back to us).
IMO Josh Worrell is a better prospect if you particularly want a swingman, quicker and more agile....McAsey looks a stand out defender to my eye and personally that's where I hope we develop him if we do draft him.
I doubt it but it was clear listening to Hamish he rated the kid on what he'd seen as a 16 year old....I think looking at our pick situation and theirs Geoff Parker has played this real well almost assuring we won't be able to get him unless we pay what would be considered big overs for a kid that's had serious injury issues. He's now theirs in the rookie draft but they have it covered with their late picks in the National Draft should a bid come.
And send it to Melbourne to make them do it..
Not quite, if you want mobile hope Josh Worrell is still there at our 2nd [unlikely].
