Pretty simple what we need to mix it with the top 4 sides...

Another in and under grunt Midfielder....use our No 1 pick for this

Agile CHB....Id be looking at perhaps Polak for this role

Thirdly a decent amount of luck with injuries something like the Cats or Roos have had so that our core players can get on the ground ea week

:thumbsu:
 
Joel Selwood would be a good get with the first pick from what i hear.

6) Joel Selwood

Midfielder

181cms and 74kgs
16/5/88
Bendigo Pioneers

Brother of Troy and Adam. Very classy inside midfielder. Got the cleanest hands of any of the midfielders available for the next draft. Does not fumble and is cool and composed under pressure and in traffic.
His strength is in extracting the ball out of a stoppage. Does it with strength, body positioning and awareness and anticipation. Seems to move that little bit quicker to the tap out or spillage and with great reflexes and hand eye co ordination he gathers the ball and feeds it out with a quick handball.
Uses his body so well and has an uncanny knack of getting his arms free and dishing the ball out before some players have managed to pin him.
Very physically tough and hard player who directs his aggression at the ball and will have a superb temprement for AFL.
Makes up for a slight lack in pace with anticipation and his reading of the play.
Kicking needs improvement but is not a problem just not penetrative enough yet and lacks real polish. He prefers to handball and feed runners but opponents will sag off him in the AFL if he does not improve his kicking and not make it easy for him to feed more skilful players. (for example Daniel Cross from WB).

Good at the U18 Championships for Vic Country where he looked in the top 2 or 3 midielders on display. His football has been a high level for 2 years now and it will be interesting to see how much he improves this year. Hopefully he will grow to his brothers heights of 187 and 189 and not have as much problem putting on weight.

Has class, leadership and and football smarts. A can’t miss selection for a club who wants a natural footballer and not an athlete trying to be a footballer.

Maybe young Howat could fill that role. Goes hard, looks long and ..... this is the special bit...... hits targets with his kicks.

Howat should replace Tivendale, his like a hard tough version of Tivendale with actual real skills, not some magical made up kicking ability that "experts" think tivendale posseses

its a tough choice i reckon. prob depends on who we pick up in the trades. if we got a polak type player we might go for a midfielder with our first pick. may depend on who is available when we get our pick.

Would personally still rather a Hansen or Gumbleton.

Pity there is more chance of Roach being in next years leadership group.

But would not be depressed if we ended up with Selwood. But we need some KPP and a selwood type player will probaly be avaliable at our 2nd pick.

Would be more than happy with Selwood with our first pick.
