I’ve wanted to see Rioli on the wing. He was elite for speed and endurance in his draft year.

Hes only just started to look like becoming settled in the back half though. I think this role suits him, he'll be fed the ball out of the back half and led to do it by other players.
 
I have issues with 195cm KPF struggling to kick 45mtrs
Plus all his goals are colts games and am yet to see him really tested at a higher level

Not saying he is no good but just something about him that makes me want to avoid unless its our 2nd pick
You know what's an underrated skill though? Goal kicking accuracy. This guy is very reliable. He's touted top 10.
 
If we do get pick 2 I hope we bid on Daicos at 2 and Darcy at 3 before selecting Callaghan at 4 to keep the bastards honest.

It would be rude not too

Plus Riewoldt had the same knocks on distance. Remember his kick after the siren v Stkilda at the start of his career? Could only just kick 50. Distance is all about technique once you have the leg weight down pat. Momentum, timing and core rotation can be taught. Ill back our elite development program. Name a single 195cm fwd who cant kick over 45m!

Starting to warm to the idea of going for Gibcus to be honest.

I've been harping on about the midfield being a big need, but drafting Gibcus would mean our tall defenders are set for a decade. We can still get some very good midfield kids at 15 26 27 28, but the best defender also being a local VIC boy will have us set for KPD. We could then go mids at 15 and two of the picks in the 20s, and grab a key forward in there as well.

I dunno though, we really do need quality mids...
Agree. Mids arnt hard to find. Quality talls are

How much would it be worth to upgrade pick 8 in this draft to a top 3 pick? Let’s not get caught up in phantom draft hype the talent bottoms out pretty quickly in most drafts and after that handful of top picks it’s a real lottery.

We’ve got a good chance to get up the draft and get a genuinely top end talent, no point wasting it.

Yeah but it will be 9 to 4 and we will have paid a fortune for Bling

That Kelvin Moore shot, was sitting right behind it as a teenager and thought the whole way it was going through. That miss and the capitulation against the Bulldogs which ended in a draw cost us finals in 2008. Good times! 12 months later Wallace was gone and so began the slow build to our dynasty.
 
None of the draftees we'll have a chance to draft will likely be any better than RCD over the next couple of seasons.

Then none are worth drafting as RCD is shithouse.

Which is why I said best case scenario and quoted an article stating them players in that range.

Yeah nah, better picks than Hobbs at first pick for starters.

If people want Hobbs get the Saints pick

RFC needs players that are more well rounded than simply inside. We have Prestia and Graham that are a little bit that way already

I would be surprised if Hobbs does not reach our first pick. Don't get me wrong, he is a good player, but for top picks clubs need to include selections with more scope like Balta.

The thing with Hobbs is who was he competing with to get the ball at Country in terms of teammates? Couldn't really see someone challenging him. Also against Daicos and Ward who are slightly different in terms of opposition. For example Daicos had Ward, who did Hobbs have? The way Ward behaved on the field Ward said, I know who Daicos is, I know who my other teammates are, but I can win the ball and I want to make a big impact on games to. Who did Hobbs have for Country challenging him in that way? Knevitt was a different type, Goater was less inside. Set ruck scenario which can skew inside prowess. He has a go, he is tough but at pick 7 I am looking for something more. Hobbs will go first round no doubt but dunno about top ten when clubs are looking for players to empower premiership victorys in the years ahead.

If Hobbs runs against better players at the higher level who are set and have the confidence and simply is a rung below, what have you got? Can't really put him anywhere else can we? The mental aspect is difficult to assess because has he been up against it yet in terms of the setup not suiting him? The thing is at higher levels scope is relevant because other players can go to higher levels and do different things, can Hobbs match them then?

No but a second year player might. Gibcus in a year might enable Balta to go forward. IF Amiss is any good would be happy to see him at our first pick. As Richoplzbreed said, we have precious little backup backup.
people on here really need to let this one go. He is a Key defender and when we need to fill the forward line with extra tall bodys he wil move foward late in a game.

The only defender that will move forward is Stack.

Easier ways to tell people you haven't watched the game 👍. Knevitt is a different type, but still largely a stoppage accumulator, Goater isn't even a Country prospect and Connor Macdonald, another decent inside Country prospect, ran through the midfield with Hobbs for most of the game, not to mention Rachele in the second half as well
