It's the fact that he was a crows supporter but switched while his dad was our runner that is concerning. I have an issue with people who switch football teams for the most recent premier.
Are you taking the piss?
 
Stiffy .....we have the BEST intel on Burton ......Liptak his surgeon, Physio's from North Adelaide

If any club has the "inside" knowledge on Burton it'll be the Crows

There will not be any risk ......if we take him, then the club is 100% confident in his body

It'll be clear who we take at #13 how the club feels about his injury ......IMO Burton at 13 is ours to pass up
I'm not sure we are 100% confident on his knee even if we take him with pick 13. He was a top 3 player on talent last year. We could get a bargain if his knee turns out ok. We might have to gamble that it's going to be ok, the price being that we only have to use pick 13 instead of pick 3. So we may say, "we think there's a 95% chance he'll be fine, but we're prepared to take the risk as pick 13 is a bargain if he turns out as good as he can be."
 
I'm happy with Seedsman and Menzel. But a part of me wishes we had picks 28 and 32 going into the draft.

It would be interesting to see what players we would have been discussing around that mark.

If it's a choice of a 95% Burton & other equivalent rated players .......the club won't roll the dice unless they're 110% confident in a 100% recovery ......they simply don't have to take a risk at #13

They took Lever because & only because they were 100% confident in Levers recovery

Would you prefer to take a chance on Burton or get Mackay or even a Bonner

Look if we were absolutely desperate we'd take Mathieson :eek:;)

Collins would be a v safe pick at 13....would be like having a young rutten to partner talia with lever as our josh Gibson

The mids available at 13 would be far more speculative and Burton even more speculative

Best option would be Francis and milera but that would be unlikely , next best would be McKay and milera / Oliver / hibberd / tucker

But if we miss McKay and Francis at 9 then I'm happy with Collins at 13, a v safe pick and ready to play next year

Why .......Menzel will be twice the player WE MAY get at 28 .......strong chance of a big fail at that position in the draft

Gee i thought people two years ago would have pants down around the table to get Menzel ......now you're questioning whether we should have gambled with 28?? ..........shakes head
 
Brett Anderson's reply from my tweet yesterday
At which draft pick were you talking about ? ......9?

No way Milera is there at #13 :confused:

Jeff mate get of the Collins train .......WILL NOT HAPPEN !!!!!!!!!!

We recruited our CHB last draft ......how many goes do you want? ......club HAS NEVER in two drafts, drafted for the same KP role ...and certainly not in defense
 
I believe he also said that Carlton wanted the priority pick to take Weideman. They may rate him higher than McKay at 8 if both are available.

SOS is a fan of Weideman.

We tried dealing with GC on the final day of Trade Week to upgrade our Pick 11 into Pick 6 (in a deal involving Everitt) for this reason.

Our brains trust know from around the traps that he will be gone by the time our Pick #8 rolls around.

Not at all. It's purely for draft discussion. I am just interested to see what players we would have been looking at if those trades didn't take place for whatever reason.
 
Francis at 9 ?? Yes please !!! Francis and Burton would be massive gets talent wise but are both tweener height. Is that of concern as we do need midfield speed and a KPF ??

Sorry i got confused with the conversation/??

1. When you posted this tweet who were you referring to overlooking at #9 ....Francis?

2. Any reason for Callums inferred sliding to 9?

3. Who are clubs worried about "go home " factor and why?

Sorry for all the questions ;)

Where do you see him going then? Essendon?

Compared to Menzel ......nothing by comparison

Yeah Brett thinks Francis will slide to our pick but we could select Milera instead if available.
Cal hasn't replied sorry
 
When is Geelongs first pick?

Why firstly is Francis sliding ......and why would we take Milera over Francis

What is the concern with Francis ......must have interviewed really poorly ......just struggling with what iam hearing in the press?

Who was being referred to as "big go home factor" ......Francis?
