Tall defender.

More medium, Ridley type.

Not against another defender. Hopefully we invite D'Aloia or Szybkowski to train in the SSP

I get the feeling we're allergic to the types of mids we need.
I give up hoping

If our recruiting team is good at anything, it is picking mature age players.

Going for another shouldn't shock or sadden anyone.

Seems an ok pick talent wise.
Not sure its a huge pressing need

Redman, Kelly, laverde, ridley, heppell, mcgrath, massimo, cox - all have AFL exposure

Maybe those guys are just no good, hence why they've slipped past 70+ picks now. A big bodied mid is needed, but not if they're a plodder.

 

[jmoo wan]

give him #36, old man Garret’s number

Yep. I'm a fan of both Szybkowski and D'Aloia but every club has had a lot of chances to take them and they haven't. Probably for a reason

I give up hoping

I don't but I'm left disappointed always.

 

[Phat Toni]

did we just accidentally redraft Garrett McDonagh?

 

[Pweter]

Given his intercept marking is his 1 wood, is he sort of like insurance if Ridley goes down maybe?

That's my guess.

 

[Don Won]

Rhett? Ruh row.

 

[JT_the_Man]

He does have a very good leap and set of hands on him it appears. Ridley back up at worst imo.

Welcome Rhett!

Yeah, it is a very busy position right now.

I think we have painted ourselves into a corner in terms of finding players for our needs.

Clubs are very hesitant to take specialist inside mids late because they want to reserve CBAs for players that are either elite mids or players that could become elite mids.

If you want more grunt you have to use early picks on it.

Gives me Marty Gleeson vibes

And no, that isn't an insult.

 

[eth-dog]

Another defender isn't necessarily a bad thing. The way I see it is that now we have:

Tall: Zerk, Reid, Hayes, 2x Stewart/Cox/McBride
Medium: Ridley, Laverde, Kelly, Montgomerie
Small: McGrath, Hind, Redman, Lord, D'Ambrosio

That's 14 defenders. Meaning that if everyone is fit, you have 7 defenders in the AFL and VFL. 2 talls/2 mediums/3 smalls AFL and 3 talls/2 mediums/2 smalls in the VFL.

Pre-injury Marty.

I see he's an inside bull....tops

 

[Atavistic]

Not the sort of pick that engenders much confidence. I think he'll last as long as McDonagh.
