All that we Need

[Bojangles17]

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

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.

Like the way both his brothers go

 

[tomthetiger]

He's supposed to be the best of them too.

 

[Dyer_ear]

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

 

[Dyer_ear]

We may have an effective mid field already.

Coughlan, Howat, Raines. Tough and 2/3 skillful.

Well he's not a thing like Tivendale, now is he?

his an upgraded version

 

[pettifers.sexy]

his an upgraded version

A big upgraded version!
Also did anyone see how selfish Tivendale was being, thats just not on!

 

[Darth_Tiger]

howat reminds me of dal santo. always hits his target. very happy with what i have seen so far.

thats who Im hoping for, and he just might land in our lap with most of the also rans likely to go for KPP...supposed to be an outright GUN

 

[Calcium Man]

Would personally still rather a Hansen or Gumbleton. 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.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

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.

 

[Truetiger]

All that we need is:

Dogs to lose to Adelaide, Stkilda and Essendon

Or

Collingwood to lose to Port, Carlton and Kangaroos.

and Geelong to continue to fail.

Then we beat Blues, Dons and eagles. Then we have finals haha!

 

[Bentleigh]

Would personally still rather a Hansen or Gumbleton.

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

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

He said he would rather those two. Geez you're over-opinionated.

 

[Bentleigh]

Then it is a grand shame what he rathers is utterly unrealistic.

 

[tomthetiger]

But doesnt that apply to you as well?

 

[Calcium Man]

I wouldnt say its unrealistic, improbable. There is usually a highly rated player who slips down the order, and draft camp results are not even in yet.
