It seems increasingly likely that one of these two boys will be wearing navy blue next year, so I just wanted to get people’s opinions on which of these two you would prefer.

personally i would just go talia for the simple fact that someone said he was the secocnd waite we have been looking for.

would be rapt either way though both sound good

 
could this not have gone in any of the other 1000 threads about this year's draft. There is nothing "likely" until after the Melbourne Pick :mad:

I'm leaning towards Black, but if Talia's been Blue boy since he was a kid, I say let his dream come true.

Thats the only thing that splits in my opinion. Talia wants the jumper and has done since he was lad, and if the club are happy to have him, bring him home to Princes Park.

He's busted a gut to get this far and be rated as highly as he is, its almost a no brainer.
 
I think it could depend more on who Melb take at 11 then which one we want.

Personally i hope we get Talia but Black looks good too.
 
Seems ineveitable that we will end up with one of Talia or Black. Both have their positives. The only other ones to may come to the Blues are Lucas, Jetta or Mcmillan Pittard.
 
If Melbourne want Luke Ball they would have to pick him at Pick 11.. i would think ????
 
Either boy looks good so there'd be no complaint either way.

As a preference I'd go with Talia as at about 90kg he may be more AFL "footy ready" physically much sooner given his size, especially with a couple more kg's before next season. With a premiership window possibly open very soon I'd like a tall physically ready as soon as possible.

Black can play other positions as well, meaning he can still contribute very well next year as he develops, but we do have a couple of those types, Waite being one of them. But if we get him I won't be disappointed at all. It's just that Talia is my preference for the above reasons..

I'd go with Talia because he's more versatile. Also he's a blue boy so you know his heart is going to be in it 100%.
 
Why do people think it will necessarily be one or the other of those two ?

I'm betting it will be neither.

Trust in Eric.

It's quite possible that both of these boys could be gone by our selection #12. Melbourne could take one of them at #11, and Port could quite easily load up with a couple of decent KPP's propects with Butcher and one other. As Splendini said in another thread, selections 6-11 will be the greatest interest for us, as the top 5 IMO is pretty much set.
 
Melbourne are probably gonna decide for us anyway...... Black for mine. Although I'll be very happy with either Black or Talia. - Just no bloody midfielders please!
 
We need more midfielders ..... way more midfielders.

People are kidding themselves if they dont understand modern day footy and midfield rotations.

Imagine if Geelong had more dud talls and less quality midfielders...
