List Mgmt. 2022 draft pool.

Smith is not a speculative pick at all. We have done extremely well out of WA and with players who have limited exposed form due to injury. Smith is a very good player and his exvellent kicking sets him apart from players like Mansell etc who can be hit or miss.

I forgot about Mansell lol. So many back flankers on this list it's hard to keep track

Another guy who will never play games

Shifter is a big wrap for Kaleb Smith, gave him the Bailey Dale comparisson

You don't keep drafting the same position over and over just because it might be the best player. At some point you need list balance

Tom Brown is going to rotting in the reserves for years as is because the list has a million half back flankers. Add this kid to that list too

Brown is a different type. He is an intercepter. He is our Broad/Vlastuin replacement long term.

You don't balance your list through the draft. These kids are 3 years away from making a contribution in most cases, our list make up in three years will be a lot different to what it is now.

For all we know we had Smith no.30 on our list and someone like Scully at no.55, now if thats how you rate players how stupid would it be to take the guy you clearly don't rate anywhere near as high compared to the guy you do. One guy plays 200 AFL games, the other plays 10. Thats an extreme example but thats the thought process. Much better to get it wrong then to go against who you think is best.

We needed to take the gamble now…next year is already too late. When Riewoldt is out and lynch is injured..then Samson Ryan is literally our only target. Extremely raw and he’s ruck anyway
There's no use picking a list clogger. We have Balta and Dustin will be a forward from now on.
