Could shape the draft IMO. Brander is in the conversation for the pick 1 spot and depending on who finishes there let's say Carlton (not trying to start anything) I feel they would go for him. They've had a major focus on their KPD spots and even though they have Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow, Brander would round out their KPF spots. Lions are in the conversation as well but we wouldn't pick him and go for best mid and then will go early still.

Personally think blues need another bull midfielder and Fogarty fits the bill, players of Fogartys quality are rare and a club would be crazy not to take him with 1 imo. Fogarty would be great for you guys and even Lochie O'Brien, LOB along with McCluggage just makes your midfield that more dangerous.

It would be a difficult decision for the recruiters if those two did seperate themselves from the pack. In Carltons case I keep going back to a couple of years ago with St Kilda and the decision they made with McCartin instead of Petracca and just see something similar happening. But as you stated all things are pointing towards Fogarty being too difficult to pass up on.

Hit the nail on the head there mate, our midfield is putrid atm our talls are young and promising we need to target mids, id love us to trade our 2018 1st for another 2017 pick.

Thanks mate..the mid fielder Darby!
Darby will find it hard to stand out when you have mids like Dow, O'Brien, Farrell and Schumacher in there and eventually when Fitzgerald comes back it's a tough midfield to stand out and he may have to show something up forward to be a chance of being drafted. He certainly knows how to win the ball and goes hard at it but he lacks an x-factor or standout trait that the others I mentioned have so like I said he will need to start impacting the scoreboard or winning a s**t tonne of the footy to stand out amongst a crowded and talented Bendigo side

Cheers mate..I think his hands are really good. I see Fitzgerald playing back and I don't see O'Brien as an inside mid nor Farrell. The other one I like is hogan from Gippy but I could be wide of the mark!
