Besides Deledio and Tambling, who do you think is the most exiting young prospect that we took in the draft. I think its Patterson.
Thoughts?

I reckon he will be very solid. Not upset at all to have him here.
Apart from the above 2 im most happy with Meyer. The kids is pure class. I honestly think we have 3 ( bar Griffin) of Australia best 4 young mids at the club. He might well slip under the radar and become a champion for the club.

Limbach may well be a smoky as well.
Top shelf player which missed alot of footy thus he went so low. With a injury-free preseason he could be a gun.

Limbach, while needing some gym time, is definetly our big smokey.
Miller must really like the look of Luke Mcguane, as i know for a fact that Limbach is a Miller Special.
Not overly happy with picking Meyer, we should of taken Pattison and Wood at 12 and 16, or the other way around.

Deledio=the Horse
Tambling=the jockey
Meyer=the trainer.

Meyer sounds like a good pick at #12. Everything I've read about him sounds good, except his first name which somehow sounds a bit off-putting.

YEARS of professional running have opened the door for brilliant Glenelg teenager Danny Meyer to be a first-round pick at Saturday's AFL national draft.
The classy midfielder/small forward has spent the past five years working on his leg-power with coach Keith Aiston at the Western Districts Running Club.
The result is one of the finest athletes in this year's draft pool - a speed machine who is a certain top-20 selection and who could go as high as No. 10 to Collingwood.
"There's no doubt all the running I've done has paid off," Meyer, 18, said.
"It's helped a lot, not only with my overall leg work (speed) enabling me to get to the footy but also with my balance."
Lightly-framed at 74kg, Meyer's powerful legs were on display at the AFL draft camp where he finished in the top six for the running vertical jump with a leap of 87cm.
"He's a real good athlete, an explosive player who can burst into a game and hurt the opposition in 10 minutes," Glenelg football manager Ken Applegarth said.
"He's got that really quick turn of pace, he's terrific below his knees and because of his strong legs he's a thumping kick."
Meyer, a member of this year's South Australian under-18 team which contested the national championships in Melbourne, competed in last year's under-20 Bay Sheffield 120m sprint as well as several other high profile running races.
While his pace alone excites clubs, his ability to turn a game on its head with some magic reminds some astute judges of Port Adelaide premiership hero Gavin Wanganeen.
"Danny has a bit of Wanganeen about him," SA under-18 coach Darren Trevena said.
"He's got great potential, great evasive skills and he's smart around goal."
Strong overhead and possessing clean hands, Meyer also has a good footy brain - an attribute which is tough to teach.
An Essendon supporter, Meyer has spoken to 14 clubs in the lead-up to the draft, including Adelaide and the Power.
The Bombers, whose first pick is at 14, are his preferred destination.
"I'm a big James Hird and Matthew Lloyd fan so to go to Essendon would be ideal," he said.
"But I've heard the whispers about Collingwood taking me at (No.) 10. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'm happy to go anywhere."
Meyer, from great Glenelg breeding ground Sacred Heart College, played just six games (one under-19s and five reserves) for the Tigers this year because of school commitments.
The son of Tigers under-17s coach Steve Meyer, Danny understands there is one facet of his game that does need work - his frame.
"I've got to put on some weight and build up my upper body strength, I know that," he said. "I've already started working on it."

I heard Wallace say on draft day, i think it was on SEN, that he expects Deledio and Tambling to be the guys who break the packs and for Polo to be their feeder ie: get the hard ball and disch it off to those guys.
Meyer is a HFF who played midfield at his school.
Apparently his a deadeye ******** infront of goal, very pacy, although draft camp results don't show it.
However my biggest concern is that he reminds me a bit of Fiora.
I would of prefered Wood at 12, and some reckon we would of been able to get Polo at 36, so obviously Wallace must really rate him, as i watched the webcast again today, and Wallace definetly had the last say on picking Polo.
