The only reason we drafted Grundy is because every other club passed on him. By our turn, only the midgets and hopefuls, along with a few tall forward 'prospects' remained. For a club with no ruckman, Grundy was a no-brainer, particularly as he was expected to go in the top 5. Our next two picks have somewhat underwhelmed - Kennedy and Broomhead. Not a great draft really after pick 18. Hrovat at 21 is not getting a game with the Bulldogs. Would Tim O'Brien or James Stewart been better pick-ups? Perhaps.
Our selections after Sier were astute. No complaints with Phillips, Smith, Wills and Crocker.

We could have passed, all the others passed on him, but we picked him.
So to the picker of him, goes the spoils. The better draft media at the time said he was the steal of the draft.
Broomhead is actually very talented, injured but talented.
Kennedy didn't meet expectations, but in the draft you are picking babies and projecting them as adults so to speak. It's not an exact science.
We do ok overall in drafting.
That's not our weakness, it's actually a good point of ours.
We are waiting for our young group to emerge together.
May happen, may not.
Grundy, Moore, Treloar, Adams, De Goey, Maynard, Scharenberg, Aish, Crisp, Elliot, Fasolo etc
That's our young group emerging, may work may not....
To me it's not doom and gloom but potentially ok... if we adopt the Brisbane doom and gloom we will be a bust, if we adopt the positive Bulldogs attitude we may be a win....
