Unless it is Michael Walters

It's a little bit before my time but I believe when he was drafted Michael Walters was a not so fit, fancy in bursts, true small-small forward without great speed.
He needed a coach to show him the destination at the end of a long road of hard work and make him want it.
Don’t know if Palmer had many options to be honest.
Knee reconstruction, ball burner and a bit of FIGJAM about him.
I reckon he was one of worst picks - especially at pick 7.
Palmer was a great pick at 7.
His running ability and smarts made him special but the knee killed that.

Shai Bolton what is he worth ? Suggested a late second round/early third over on the main trade board and got laughed at.
Yeah, as Taylor said, they didn’t have known injury concerns when they came to the club. Mora and Apeness did too when we drafted them. I think one of Sturt or Valente do. If they have had a history of injuries I’d be much more cautious now.

Brisbane have our pick #44 this season, that would seem fair for a guy who has played under twenty games in three seasons standing at 175cm.
Let's say you've got pick #29 in this year's draft. Bolton is in the group of draftees available. Is he taken at pick #29? I don't think so.

Keen to hear people's thoughts on this end of year scenario...
OUT: S Hill, B Hill, E Langdon
IN: T Kelly, J Martin, late 1st round
Draft: Henry, Robertson, Taylor

Agree to disagree.
2007 draft was a great one in hindsight- a lot players still playing.
Just remember watching Palmer in the Under -18’s at Subiaco and thought, gee he gets it, but nearly every kick was helicopter punt.
Ran all day, tackled but had below average disposal and quite poor sharing the ball.
Besides that he was best mates with Chris ‘ the biter’ Masten.
Like Pina and Garcia also.
A bit worried about Garcia with him doing a knee, if we could rookie him, I reckon he’d be worth a chance
Coniglio - FA
Kelly - Our 1st round pick (assuming it is around pick 6 to 8)
Jack Martin - Mid 2nd rounder
Shai Bolton - Mid 2nd rounder
Callum Ah Chee - 3rd or 4th round pick, or pick swap
Who should we target and why?
For me it is Coniglio (Free agent, A grade player), Jack Martin and Shai Bolton (Quick flankers, can play a bit through the midfield. Will improve our skills, and are both dangerous in the forward line.)
Callum Ah Chee - I think he has talent, but at GC he has not got the most out of it. I think given 12 months of training, he will turn into to a B+ players.
Kelly - If we believe we can push for top 6 with out him, then you sign him and trade away a top 8 pick. If not then it is pass, due to the cost

I'm less keen on trading this year. Of course you grab Coniglio if available, but then I would be cautious. I would trade for Kelly or Martin if someone is leaving, but not overpay.
Go to the draft.
Agree 100% here.
Give up on Cogs everyone, it is not happening. Way too much smoke around him and literally none of it involves us (since early in the season).
Agree with the hit the draft sentiment. I was enjoying it, but a little worried early in the season when we were doing well that we might overestimate our list and trade picks. I think we are still 1 or possible 2 drafts short of completion. Would like at least 4 more top 30 picks, including at least 2 mids.

Aah the draft that Freo took two players that could run all day and good pace.....
anyone remember Clayton Hinkley? Pick 24 or something....... horrendous disposal
Bolton easily. He may not have done a lot, but it is still more than Switta has done.
His value is on the rise. May’ve missed the boat with him unless he wins a flag this year or next and wants to come home to help us win one.
Ummm is that a trick question.

Been seeing a bit more chat about Ed heading back to Victoria on my socials.
Put his disposal aside, who do we have that can run and spread like Ed does?

Tucker.
Not fazed either way Ed’s disposal is sooo bad it pretty much negates any good that comes from all of his run and carry
Brad Hill and Tucker (not as proven in the role though).
