Agree with that, although with a modifier, as I don't think the player Clayton wanted and expected to be available at their first round pick was available. I reckon they expected Ben Reid to be there and his absence has meant they've gone for another tall of similar stature.
Aside from that, all the names called out yesterday are unproven at AFL. Clayton's hit rate in this caper is high and it will be interesting to see how the names he called out yesterday with the Bullies later picks turn out - as a lot of them were seemingly overlooked in the mock drafts.
Having seen Andrejs play on numerous occasions over the last year, i can say with complete confidence that the bulldogs have not wasted their pick. He will compliment their running style of game with his speed and agility whilst his ability to read the play is second to none in this draft.
Whilst he may not be AFL- ready at this point, i would say that he will end up being a very, very good aquisition for the bulldogs in the long-term.

I hear ya!!!! was just abit confused.
No, I don't think you speak on behalf of most bulldog supporters. I think you speak on behalf of the uninformed and/or the unintelligent.
Didn't you say you were disappointed?
wouldn't it be best if you saw him play before you post your opinions?
how is tom williams comming along?
im usually pretty good at reading msn typing but wtf is that?
Cameron Wight was pick 49, not a first rounder, and he is developing very nicely.
Walsh has disappointed, but a broken leg, ACL reconstruction and fractured finger in 3 seasons hasn't helped his development. Ditto Williams with his foot/ankle problems ruining his 2 years with us to date.

Was just wondering, will Walsh and in particular Williams be ready for the NAB Cup next season or at least Round 1 of the regular season?
Im looking forward to seeing them play because Tom was pick 6 right after Buddy, and because you guys can really challenge for a flag IF you can get a decent number of talls on the ground from the get-go!

walsh did his knee at the start of last year so SHOULD be on track for nab cup and williams the last i heard was that he was up and running so to have these two players fit and firing heading into rd 1 will be a blessing.
i hope williams and walsh can both get through preseason unscaved.

Look Everitt was a surprise for most people. doesn't make it a wrong pick.
BUT you went a little against the grain, and I'm sure many people are waiting to see if you were right or not.
I should point out Scott Clayton's reputation was built in the last decade - it's hardly relevant now.

Grain of salt.
Not saying he's a bad choice, but recruiters who say "We wanted to get someone really good, but unfortunately only average kids were left" don't have the confidence of the football department and board for very long.
if you read the article in the age it names the 5 players we picked and clayton is quoted as saying - before the draft - something like 'we are a 95% chance to get these 5 players'.
besides, its pretty obvious he was targeted specifically, given the number of 'highly rated' players we passed up - sellar, mcenzie, jetta, riewolt, hislop, proud, etc...

Great to hear from Clayton the alternative to Everitt at pick 11, was Krakouer who ended up at 39, a similar spot tipped for Everitt. Who would need high draft picks with this sort of ranking.

Yeah, we on traded pick 31 for Simon Garlick. Pick 31 was used on Simon Black. I wonder if time again, any club might take him top 10. Ranking means sh1te. Its what they deliver, sure you have a higher chance the higher they go, but its up to the player not the position taken. Leave it 2 to 3 years and revisit it then.
Yeah, it's interesting really. I wonder if Everitt would've lasted til our 2nd round pick, had we traded our first rounder during trade week and not our 2nd rounder.
I guess we'd never know.
